Statins: How the Media is Jumping on the Big Pharma Bandwagon

Dear Reader,

Oh...to live in one of the world's richest countries. It's so hard. Poor us.

We have so many terrible risks we face every day...like clean water, ample food supplies, and not enough of us are taking statins.

Yes, you read that right. We're at terrible risk from underuse of the world's best selling drug.

Don't believe me... Well, here's what a recent US magazine article had to say about this looming danger...

Down in the dumps

"Results are depressing," says the Time author.

The review found that "effective medication coverage for control of high cholesterol remains disappointingly low."

So sad! I'm hoping Bono will start a concert to raise money for statin awareness (oh wait!).

According to the review: "Cholesterol-lowering medication is widely available, highly effective and can play an essential role in reducing cardiovascular disease around the world."

Oh brother! What nonsense!

Statins do lower cholesterol, but there's virtually no evidence that they do anything to protect you against heart disease.

But never mind the evidence! We're talking about mainstream mantra. So of course, the article has to play along, as if this is just terrible, awful news.

"Japan has the worst record on prescribing cholesterol- lowering drugs," we're told.

Tut-tut, Japan. It really is time to step up the drugging of your citizens... like they really need that at the moment.

"Germany and the US also perform poorly."

Oh, the shame! Poor performance! How can we live with ourselves?

The World Health Organization (WHO) report says cardiovascular diseases were once thought of as "diseases of affluence" that are now common in "middle-income countries." However the article gets that wrong and says "high cholesterol" was once a disease of affluence.

It's a minor mistake, but it shows the mindset of the reporter: High cholesterol is a disease, so you better take your drugs.

High cholesterol is NOT a DISEASE! For most people it's not even a problem! In fact, driving cholesterol levels too low — THAT'S a real problem. Years ago, the Framingham Heart Study showed that total cholesterol levels under 160 actually caused heart disease problems to RISE (...a fact woefully absent from the article)!

The reporter continues to call the under-medicating of statins a "system failure." But from where I sit, it's the first successful thing I've read in the statin war.

Now if we could just get the rest of the world to join our cause.

...and another thing

I've warned you before that Champix (Chantix in the US) causes bad side effects.

This notorious smoking-cessation drug drives some people into violent rampages, suicide, seizures, blackouts, and heart attacks.

And Ambien? We've all heard about some users who have hallucinations, violent outbursts, sleep-walking, and even sleep-driving.

But now it looks like there's a new champion in the side effects category. It's a drug called Requip and it's used to treat Parkinson's disease symptoms.

During two years of treatment, Mr. Didier Jambart (51 — a married father of two) attempted suicide three times, became addicted to Internet gambling, developed a compulsive sex addiction, and began cross-dressing. These misadventures caused him to lose his life-savings, he claims to have been sexually assaulted and received a demotion at work.

Now, to you and me, it may seem like that's far-fetched. But Requip actually comes with a warning that it may cause compulsive behaviours, including gambling and sexual habits. But that warning didn't appear in drug inserts until a year after Mr. Jambart stopped using the drug.

He's suing Requip's maker, GlaxoSmithKline, for $610,000 in damages.

Now you may think that the symptoms of Parkinson's would make it worth the risk for some people to face these side effects, would you say the same about restless leg syndrome (RLS)?

That's right. Requip is used to treat RLS.

Just imagine..."Hey, doc, great news — my legs feel fine. Can you bail me out of jail? I think I'm in Vegas."

To Your Good Health,
