She's not the only one to know about the statin scam. You don't know why she does not recommend statins? In her book entitled "Is your Cardiologist Killing You?", she states that cholesterol is not the vilain, merely the messenger.She adds that statins are the most dangerous drugs ever made. You don't poison the liver's ability to make cholesterol and get away with it, at least not alive. To make it short, you must have cholesterol to make your hormones, like testosterone for libido, thyroid for energy and weight control, and adrenal stress hormone.Cholesterol is needed not only by all your glands, but all your glands are needed to keep you from a heart attack. Without continual repair and replenishment, you get disease and die. She mentions that statins decrease coenzyme Q10 which can cause congestive heart failure. Statins lower your zinc and deplete vitamin E. Her info is well documented with sources in the book.
Moreover, the main situation is that those expensive statins bring money to the Big Pharma industry around the globe. In the 1980's, the cardiologist associations decreased the upper limit of normal total cholesterol from 240 to below 200, what for? To sell more statins and make more money! Those statins involve profits in the billions of dollars annually. Most cardiologists are also on payroll of those pharmaceutical firms. Those facts have been reported in several books and by several doctors including one in Montreal of whom I have a book relating to them. Money rules!
Of course, there are other measures to improve the lipid profile, including reducing refined carbohydrate and sugar consumption for starters. Niacin, vitamin B3, is one of the effective products for instance.
