National Health Expert Byron Richards Publishes Article Exposing The Secrets of the Statin Industry

(PRLEAP.COM) Byron Richards, author of Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA’s Betrayal of America has just published an article explaining the history of the statin industry about how they have lied to the American public in search of big profits. Statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) form a class of hypolipidemic drugs used to lower cholesterol levels in people with or at risk of cardiovascular disease.

A study was recently released stating that for every life saved, statins cause an adverse death. It has also been discovered that statins have a harmful effect on the body. Apparently there is a price to pay for taking a synthetic drug to lower your cholesterol. Richards explains how this happened. “In 2004 the government-funded National Cholesterol Education Program selected a panel of nine “experts” to review statin drug use and make recommendations for guidelines doctors should follow to reduce cardiovascular disease. This “scientific journal” failed to disclose that six of the nine authors had direct financial ties to the makers of statin drugs” As Richards says in his article:

“The statin industry is a 20-billion-a-year propaganda machine, producing more yearly revenues from one class of drug than all professional U.S. sports combined. Just like any hot-selling drug on the market, negative studies are discouraged to say the least. They are either thrown in the trash can when they don’t work out or critical researchers are often blackmailed, meaning if they publish something negative they will never again get research money from the industry. These well known tactics discourage basic research on drug-related toxicity problems.”
