How Statins Really Work Explains Why They Don't Really Work

Introduction

The statin industry has enjoyed a thirty year run of steadily increasing profits, as they find ever more ways to justify expanding the definition of the segment of the population that qualify for statin therapy. Large, placebo-controlled studies have provided evidence that statins can substantially reduce the incidence of heart attack. High serum cholesterol is indeed correlated with heart disease, and statins, by interfering with the body's ability to synthesize cholesterol, are extremely effective in lowering the numbers. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the U.S. and, increasingly, worldwide. What's not to like about statin drugs?

I predict that the statin drug run is about to end, and it will be a hard landing. The thalidomide disaster of the 1950's and the hormone replacement therapy fiasco of the 1990's will pale by comparison to the dramatic rise and fall of the statin industry. I can see the tide slowly turning, and I believe it will eventually crescendo into a tidal wave, but misinformation is remarkably persistent, so it may take years.

I have spent much of my time in the last few years combing the research literature on metabolism, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, and statin drugs. Thus far, in addition to posting essays on the web, I have, together with collaborators, published two journal articles related to metabolism, diabetes, and heart disease (Seneff1 et al., 2011), and Alzheimer's disease (Seneff2 et al., 2011). Two more articles, concerning a crucial role for cholesterol sulfate in metabolism, are currently under review (Seneff3 et al., Seneff4 et al.). I have been driven by the need to understand how a drug that interferes with the synthesis of cholesterol, a nutrient that is essential to human life, could possibly have a positive impact on health. I have finally been rewarded with an explanation for an apparent positive benefit of statins that I can believe, but one that soundly refutes the idea that statins are protective. I will, in fact, make the bold claim that nobody qualifies for statin therapy, and that statin drugs can best be described as toxins.

Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Itua herbal center Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com WhatsApp: +2348149277967. if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.

PS: I accidentally left out NAC, from the charcoal detox protocol

Genevieve said...

I am thsnkful that I found an article refuring your work, because it lead me to other article links of yours, including this page. I have always known the importance of cholesterol, since mine dropped below 33, when poisoned with radioactive dyes and metals. Phosphatidylcholine and Phosphatidyl Serine were helpful. Vitacost brand, Synergy PC is helpful, along with Butyrate, and various brands of PhosSerine. It is possible to detox metals with chlorella and corriander extract (Ki Science, BioPure,) also NAC and coconut charcoal is a very effective semiconductor magnet for brain entrenched metals and biotoxins; however charcoal should be taken 1/2 tsp foodgrade once a week, because it pulls out needed minerals. Metal-poisoned kids and adults are already mineral deficient due to displacement from receptors by toxic metals.

I would like to email Dr Sennef directly, with some important questions about how cholesterol sulfate deficiency causes enzyme deficiencies (digestive, detoxification enzymes, and metabolic,) or do enzymes involve different pathways than cholesterol sulfate. Also, I would like to know the difference between transporters, binding proteins, transferaces, and other mechanisms involved in enzyme production. SPECIFICALLY, HOW DO TOXIC METALS STOP ENZYME ACTIVITY,....& POST-DETOX, HOW CAN WE ENERGETICALLY PRIME OUR SYSTEM TO BEGIN PRODUCING IT'S OWN ENZYMES (like prior to toxic exposure,) rather than relying on enzyme supplements for the rest of our lives.
