Re: The false gods of scientific medicine revealed: It's a cult, not a science

• The entire paradigm of pharmaceutical medicine makes no sense. Chemicals are used to treat "biomarkers" or measurable biochemical states, yet disease and dysfunction is complex and always involved more than a single measurable number. Cholesterol drugs, for example, may artificially lower cholesterol numbers, but they completely ignore the root cause of elevated cholesterol. This is why cholesterol drugs have been scientifically proven worthless in preventing heart attacks or other fatal cardiovascular events.

I know this is off the cancer topic.  I was listening to Jay Foster the other day and I think he said, "Whenever you hear about someone who died from congestive heart failure, find out if they were taking any staten drugs."

If you never heard his show on cholesterol and staten drugs, I highly recommend listening to it.  It was really good.

I have heard a couple of versions of it.  He quoted studies from the pharmaceutical companies.  How in the world do you test a staten drug on lab animals such as rats, monkeys and rabbits when they don't have high cholesterol in the first place?  They had to find a way to induce hyperlipidemia (I believe his is high cholesterol) in these animals.  Fattening foods such as eggs and butter didn't do it.!!!....and the pharmaceutical people in the labs started to become frusterated.  Finally they found what causes high cholesterol.
