My suspicions were correct: Those taking Anti-cholesterol medications to lower cholesterol WILL get Congestive Heart
Failure. How much longer will the Big Pharma and Allopathic Medic ine LIE to us?
"In patients with CHF(Chronic Heart Disease), lower serum total cholesterol is independently associated with a worse prognosis."
Increasing the probability of congestive failure due to CQ10 deficiency created from Statins was not enough now we see that lowering cholesterol, the very thing that these cash cow drugs are literally designed to do
can also cause congestive failure. Yet millions upon millions are scared shit less everyday into taking these - why?
.
"The chance of survival increased 25% for each mmol/l increment in total cholesterol."
That is downright significant and this work was published mid 2003 yet has been completely overlooked as are the major side effects from Statins. With so much accumulated data one can only charge the medical profession of gross negligence. The cholesterol myth is so well cultivated and easy to mange by the well funded pharma industry that those who continue to trust/depend on this largely corrupt system
will continue to be injured. It not only pays to think for oneself and manage one's own health - as the system is designed
to manage sickness or should I say create and then manage sickness all under the pretense of health!
"RESULTS: In the derivation study, survival at 12 months was 78% (95% confidence interval [CI] 70% to 86%) and 56% (95%
CI 51% to 62%) at 36 months. Increasing total serum cholesterol was a predictor of survival (hazard ratio 0.64, 95% CI 0.48
to 0.86), independent of the etiology of CHF, age, left ventricular ejection fraction, and exercise capacity. Receiver-operating
characteristic curves demonstrated a best cut-off value of =5.2 mmol/l (200.8 mg/dl) as being the best predictor of mortality
at 12 months (sensitivity 80.0%, specificity 62.9%). In the validation population, one-year survival was 88% (95% CI 84 to
91%) and three-year survival was 68% (95% CI 63 to 73%). The chance of survival increased 25% for each mmol/l increment
in total cholesterol. Survival rates above and below the cut-off value for cholesterol in patients with ischemic
heart disease (n = 181) were 92% (95% CI 89 to 94) versus 75% (95% CI 64 to 85%) at one year and 72% (95% CI 67 to 76%) versus
50% (95% CI 43 to 56%) at three years.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with CHF, lower serum total cholesterol is independently associated with a worse prognosis".
