Risks and Alternatives to Cholesterol Lowering Drugs

Written by Barbara Roberts, MD

Written by Justin Smith
$29 Billion Reasons to Lie about Cholesterol
"$29 Billion Reasons to Lie about Cholesterol provides unequivocal evidence to show that the idea cholesterol causes heart disease is false. We have been made to worry about cholesterol for the sole purpose of sustaining a cholesterol-lowering industry that generates at least $29 billion each year. "

Dr Malcolm Kendrick's new book with the same title is released January 2007.
"In this groundbreaking book, GP Malcolm Kendrick exposes the truth behind the hype. He will change the way we think about cholesterol forever."

Statin Drugs ~ Side Effects and The Misguided War on Cholesterol
Written by: Duane Graveline MD, MPH
Description and Order Information
 
As a former astronaut, medical research scientist, flight surgeon and family doctor, Dr. Graveline was appalled by the lack of information in his own medical community on the true side effects of the statin drugs. Dr. Graveline has completed his campaign to reveal the truth with this highly readable book.

Written by Joel M. Kauffman, Ph.D.
Excerpts:
"Cholesterol is always present in our blood, and is necessary for life as an essential component of membranes, of nerve junctions, and of brain function (Mauch et al., 2001), and as a source of hormones."

"There was never satisfactory evidence that lowering TC or LDL in most people would be of the slightest benefit. While a correlation does not necessarily prove a cause, a lack of correlation necessarily proves a lack of cause. Pretending otherwise is the scam."

Sneak Peak & Reviews

In The News...

Book Review by Donald W. Miller, Jr., M.D. (P. 63)

Written by Charles T McGee, MD
The title of his book arises from his insistence that more than 80 percent of angiograms and heart bypass surgeries are unnecessary. He also argues that cholesterol isn't as major a factor in provoking heart attacks as it is made out to be, and that advertising and greed are among the main forces driving many drug companies and much of medical practice to say that it is.
