Many cardiologists are discovering the latest natural alternatives to Lipitor and statin drugs that have NO SIDE EFFECTS and lower risks of heart attacks and stroke.
Follow the money.
Cholesterol lowering medications bring in millions dollars to pharmaceutical companys. The makers of statin drugs hope that you don't find out about the natural supplement choices that are available.
Marcia Angell, M.D. of Harvard Medical School pulls no punches in giving her opinion of the drug makers.
Dr. Angell is the former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine and the author of "The Truth About the Drug Companies" explains the impact of pharmaceutical companies on academic research, clinical trials and the political process.
Dr. Angell argues that the huge drug companies produce little or no innovation and use their political power to exploit consumers and taxpayers. In her book she gives us some revealing clues;
Americans spent $21.3 billion on Lipitor and other cholesterol-lowering medications in 2024.
During their heyday years the pharmaceutical giants employed 88,000 sales representatives to "visit" doctors, promote their products and provide them with free samples. That comes out to one drug rep for every 6 practicing physicians!
Another key reason is that medical protocol dictates that statin drugs are automatically prescribed as the "standard of care" regardless of the need.
My cardiologist was surprised that I resisted taking a statin drug and when I offered to provide him information about natural alternatives he let me know that he wasn't interested.
This highly trained and well qualified physician had never studied the research and was very comfortable in following the "accepted standard of care."
