Are Statins Safe? Chemist Says They're a Big Pharma Scam

Do you take statins? You're being suckered by drug companies. Big Pharma's money making scam with cholesterol drugs has conned hundreds of millions of people the world over. Statin cholesterol lowering drugs are the biggest-selling drugs of all time. Big Pharma wants us to think that high cholesterol is a dangerous medical condition that can be fixed only with cholesterol drugs. This is nothing but a money making scam that has netted billions of dollars for Big Pharma, says Ron Rosedale, MD. The marketing success behind statin drugs is phenomenal.

Dr. Rosedale is an internationally renowned expert in nutrition and metabolic medicine and an anti-aging specialist. I asked Dr. Rosedale, who is co-founder of Advanced Metabolic Labs in Aurora, Colorado, about what high cholesterol really means, and why millions of people, including doctors, have been tricked by Big Pharma into taking (and prescribing) these potentially dangerous medications. In fact, one statin drug, Baycol (recalled in 2001) is linked to over 30 deaths. And then there are the relentless side effects caused by statin drugs, not to mention their expense to people without medical insurance.

How did Big Pharma con the world into buying statin drugs to lower cholesterol?

Big Pharma is making tens of billions of dollars off of statin drugs and is making obscene profits under the guise that it is necessary for "research and development." However, the real research that they spend billions of dollars on is market research on how to make people believe that health equates with cholesterol levels, and this could not be further from the truth.

The truth is that lowering cholesterol into the range that is being recommended, which is essentially as low as possible, increases mortality and causes more harm than good.

Why do doctors go along with this money making scam?
