Perpetrated on the American Public Heart Disease

Well let’s just look at a prime example and let you, the American consumers see if you can figure out what is happening…

Let’s take the biggest and most ridiculous example of all, “Cholesterol”. Let’s go back in time when the fasting cholesterol levels were normal up and including 240. Then in the late 1990’s a panel of nine prominent medical minds came out and stated that we should change the fasting levels to 200 or lower in the fasting state. The world’s greatest medical minds were shocked and stated that if you lower the level to 200 or lower fasting you will see an epidemic in Cancer. Well, they were right. Within five years or around 2005 Cancer surpassed Heart disease and was number 1 until about the year 2010. From 2010 to the present heart disease and deaths from cardiovascular disease(s) is back to number 1.

Just what happened? Of the nine medical experts who changed the laboratory testing results from 240 to 200 in the fasting patient seven were board members of drug companies who produced statin (cholesterol lowering) drugs. Just go figure?? We know the statin drugs are the number one selling prescription medication in America today. We also know that there is a new push to lower cholesterol to 170 in the fasting patient and that we even have children on this medications which is absolutely ridiculous.

So what is so bad about cholesterol levels below 200? Well let’s just look at why you need cholesterol and see if it really is bad for you.

• The body needs cholesterol to produce all hormones and if the levels fall below 190 fasting there is a good chance of a deficiency of hormone production.
• The brain is composed of one third of the total weight in fat (cholesterol) and if there is not enough cholesterol you get brain dysfunction and premature brain shrinkage thus leading to memory loss (short or long term) and brain dysfunction.
• The lining of the nerves, myelin sheath, is comprised with cholesterol and if deficient the nerves short circuit.
• Every cell in your body has cholesterol in the cell membrane and if not present in significant amounts cellular atrophy occurs and receptor sites on the cell membrane dysfunction.
• Cholesterol must be present in significant amounts or your body can not produce adequate amounts of Vitamin D-3 (a hormone) which regulates ten per cent (2,500) of the 25,000 genes in your body.
• Unfortunately statin drugs poison the livers ability to produce cholesterol, and in so doing blocks the body in proper production of bile salts to break down fats for digestion, alters the assimilation of essential fatty acids, blocks the production of Vitamin D-3 and most importantly shuts down the production of one the most important products for energy production of all muscles including the heart (Co-Q-10).

What is now plaguing Americans in the form of heart and cardiovascular diseases are severe nutritional deficiencies from medications which cause heart disease in the form of heart failure or congestive heart failure due to the lack of energy produced by the mitochondria in the form of ATP (adenosine Triphosphate). We have just traded seats on the sinking Titanic and have not accomplished anything with the advent and administration of statin medication. As a matter of fact we are now plagued with more diseases of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system and most importantly cancer with the indiscriminate administration and use of these cholesterol lower medications.

Remember, cholesterol does not cause cardiovascular disease, BUT the real culprit is inflammation and what is its major contributing factor but elevated levels of insulin, homocystine and carbohydrates (sugar).

It is noted that if a person is over the age of 70 and the cholesterol is under 200, that individual has a tenfold greater chance of developing cancer and a fivefold greater chance of dying of infection either by bacteria or virus.
