Over 40 million people worldwide take drugs to help lower their cholesterol. But now there is evidence that the majority of them will not benefit from them. As we revealed in our blog post, many doctors believe cholesterol is not as involved as once believed in the cause of heart disease and deaths. This next video will expose the error in the use of statin medications to prevent heart disease.
The link above is the second video in the series “Heart of the Matter”. The first video I posted last week can be found here: http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/heartofthematter/ The video is the heart in the upper left hand of the page.
What can you do to be healthier?
It is now widely accepted that other factors to heart health are not just cholesterol. We now know we should look at chronic inflammation markers like CRP, Fibrinogen, homocysteine and ferritin. It is also well known that deficiencies of specific nutrients, such as Coq10, Vitamin E, and Taurine, can lead us to be more vulnerable to heart attacks. This is why we perform much more extensive testing than most doctors. We want to detect a problem before it arises and help patients who have had problems try to avoid any future problems!
