Pharmaceutical companies quickly realized just how enormous the market for “Cholesterol Lowering Drugs” truly is. They realized they could quite effectively get you to take a drug for years and years, and which, wasn’t toxic enough to kill you quickly.

These drugs that are suppose to lower cholesterol (statins) generate profits in the tens of billions of dollars every year for big pharma.

To do this they leveraged their marketing efforts to select “experts” in the medical community and got them appointed to government panels making recommendations that were adopted by almost everyone in the medical and health community.

The most recent panel for the US Cholesterol Education Program eight of the nine doctors had clear ties to drug companies. Specifically to the companies making “cholesterol lowering drugs. And the result? You guessed it, revised guidelines that advise people at risk of developing heart disease to lower LDL cholesterol (bad) to extremely low levels.

Up until 2004 having a LDL level of 130 was in the “healthy” range. The new and “improved” guidelines now put the upper limit at 100 for regular patients and 70 for those considered to be at a high risk or heart disease.

To be able to reach and maintain these dangerous and outrageously low targets a patient would need to consume multiple drugs aimed to lower cholesterol. So, the new guidelines artificially boosted the market for these drugs.

Your health is in your hands, and I want you to have the full picture. I hope you understand that most of what you hear from conventional medical practitioners is little more than cleverly disguised marketing.
