Serevent and Foradil

An expert panel said benefits of two inhaler drugs are not worth the risks and should no longer be used to treat asthma.

Panel strongly urged the FDA to tell doctors not to prescribe the drugs to children or adults as a standalone asthma treatment.

Drugs have also been associated with significant increase in the risk of hospitalization and death from asthma. WebMD Health News 2008

 

The High Price of Cheap Eats

Dollar “value meals” not so cheap when you look at the potential health costs.

menu items are packed with fat, salt, cholesterol and processed meat

The Cancer Project, a nonprofit cancer prevention organization. The group has produced a list of what it says are the five unhealthiest items sold at the nation’s largest fast food chains.

1. Jack in the Box’s junior bacon cheeseburger topped the list as the worst offender. The burger costs just one dollar but is packed with 23 grams of fat, including 8 grams of saturated fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol and 860 milligrams of sodium and just one gram of fiber.

2. The 89-cent Taco Bell cheesy double beef burrito, with 460 calories, 20 grams of fat and a whopping 1,620 milligrams of sodium.

3. One-dollar Burger King breakfast sausage biscuit, with 27 grams of fat, including 15 grams of saturated fat and over 1,000 milligrams of sodium.

4. O-dollar McDonald’s McDouble, which contains 19 grams of fat and 65 milligrams of cholesterol.

5. Wendy’s junior bacon cheeseburger, for $1.53, with 310 calories and 16 grams of fat.

“It would be nice if they decided it was better for their budget to start preparing food at home more often," she said.

American Values Blamed For U.S. Health Care Crisis

2008 issue of the Science Daily. "To heal our ailing health care system, we need to stop thinking like Americans".

The U.S. government is projecting that we will spend $4 trillion on health care by 2015 which will represent 20 percent of the nation's gross domestic product.

[Yet we are 37th according to WHO…]

The Science Daily article also reported that in his paper, Dr. Nuwer, explained that 31 percent of

U.S. health care expenditures go toward administration.

2008 Star Tribune in Minneapolis

listed "5 Misconceptions About Health Care" that helped clarify this issue.

1. America has the best health care in the world. We have the most expensive system, but by most international measures we are far down the list on actual health care delivery.

2. Somebody else is paying for your health insurance. This is not true as we pay for health care either in taxes or as a deduction from salary.

 

3. We would save a lot if we could cut the administrative waste of private insurance. This point is debatable as some say that this cost is needed while others compare this with other countries that have considerably less administrative costs.

 

4. Health-care reform is going to cost a bundle - the bottom line is that we are already paying for a wasteful system that leaves out a large portion of our population.

 

5. If the rest of the world can offer health care at a fraction of the cost, why can't we?

Americans aren't ready for a major overhaul of the health-care system."

New England Journal of Medicine

1. 7 percent of Americans rate our health-care system excellent.
2. 40 percent consider it poor
3. 70 percent believe it needs major changes, if not a complete overhaul." This pretty much says it all.  We are ready!

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Science is verifying what many overeaters have suspected for a long time: sugar can be addictive. The sweetener seems to prompt the same chemical changes in the brain seen in people who abuse drugs such as cocaine and heroin.

American College of Neuropsychopharmacology's

"Drinking large amounts of sugar water when hungry can cause behavioral changes and even neurochemical changes in the brain which resemble changes that are produced when animals or people take substances of abuse.

"A "sugar addiction" may even act as a "gateway" to later abuse of drugs such as alcohol, Hoebel said. "The same thing is true of eating," he added. "Fattening food has an impact on the regulating mechanism that breaks down your sense of fullness, makes you feel an urge to go back and get that blast of sugar and this creates the vicious cycle of weight gain that we're going through.

 

Cancer to be world's top killer by 2010, WHO says

Research on mice links fast food to Alzheimer's

Mice fed junk food for nine months showed signs of developing the abnormal brain tangles strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease,\ a Swedish researcher said on Friday. 

A diet rich in fat, sugar and cholesterol could increase the risk of the most common type of dementia.

Journal of the American Medical Association’s 2008 startling conclusion.

The start of screening mammography programs throughout Europe has been associated with increased incidence of breast cancer.

Did the x-rays and/or the sometimes torturous compression of breasts during mammography actually spur cancer to develop? Or does this just look like an increase in the disease rate because mammography is simply identifying more cases of breast cancer?

Bottom line: the scientists conclude this indicates that some of the cancers detected by mammography would have spontaneously regressed if they had never been discovered on a mammogram and treated, usually with chemotherapy and radiation. Simply put, it appears that some invasive breast cancers simply go away on their own, healed by the body’s own immune system.

THE CURE FOR CANCER HAS BEEN DISCOVERED

 Harvard Health Publications revealed that the American Institute for Cancer Research

(AICR) found the cure for cancer.  It's not what you think Harvard would report – it's not a drug, surgery, or medical anything.  It's how you're body is functioning and the lifestyle that effects function.

There were 8 very, very clear findings that showed where cancer

comes from.  All of these findings in some way shape or form are FULLY

related to the 5 Essentials of Maximized Living

 

THE STUDY SHOWED THAT VERY FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD THE CANCER –

MAXIMIZED LIVING CONNECTION:

1. 50% of Americans think that preventing cancer is either impossible

or highly unlikely.

2. Only 49% were aware that diets low in fruits and vegetables increase cancer

risk.

3. Only 46% cited obesity as a risk factor for cancer.

4. Only 37% knew of alcohol's link to cancer.

5. Only 36% were aware of the link between diets high in processed meat — and cancer.

6. one third of cancers worldwide could be avoided through diet and activity.

Many doctors plan to quit or cut back: survey

I found this article very interesting. This is the trend. Remeber you are and always will be incharge of your health.

Maximized living and the 5 health essentials are the key to health and healing.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Primary care doctors in the

United States
feel overworked and nearly half plan to either cut back on how many patients they see or quit medicine entirely, according to a survey released on Tuesday.

And 60 percent of 12,000 general practice physicians found they would not recommend medicine as a career.

Label your future

Upon researching the growing number of diseases that have been labeled and categorized by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), I need to share with you my thoughts on this process. In the book, “One Cause, One Cure,” Dr. Fred Barge had printed this quote: “The really good physician prevents disease; he cannot cure anything. Because of this lack of knowledge, sickness has become more natural, or more expected, than health.”

 

Think about this for a moment; in our society it is common and almost expected to have a label. Labeling your condition or set of symptoms is the focus of traditional western medicine. Once you have been labeled, “Thank God!!! I can relax” is the thought process of many people. If it is labeled a genetic condition, complacency sets it. You don’t need to seek to find a way to have the best quality of life. You have been labeled with weak genetics so guess what? It is not your fault; so keep on living a crappy lifestyle.

 

I see this all the time with new patients who show up. They have been labeled with a medical condition: high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, scoliosis, MS, fibromyalgia, sciatica, acid reflux, etc. Then the prescriptions start… for life. There is no discussion of how to change the body’s’ physiology. There is no discussion of how to maximize function to all body parts – via a specific scientific accurate chiropractic adjustment. There is no discussion on what nutrition is needed to maximize healing. There is no discussion on the types of movement needed to bring pure oxygen to cells and eliminate waste. You get prescribed medication to treat your disease or condition’s symptoms.

 

There are over 3,500 conditions that have been medicalized and labeled.  Diagnosis is the process by which a physician determines which disease a patient has by studying the patient’s symptoms and medical history and analyzing any tests performed (blood, urine, brain scans, etc.).

 

Once a diagnosis is established, you have treatment options. The definition of treatment is this: the use of drugs and surgery to alleviate conditions. There are many common prescriptions and over the counter remedies that attempt to alleviate conditions. Now the number one cause of death in

America

is the people don’t know how to get well or what causes them to get sick. The quote by Dr. Barge from above states: “Because of this lack of knowledge, sickness has become more natural, or more expected, than health.” One of the hardest parts of my job is getting people to understand that sickness and disease are not the natural state. Health is the natural state!

 

Dr. Barge’s statement rings true: “The really good physician prevents disease; he cannot cure anything. Because of this lack of knowledge, sickness has become more natural, or more expected, then health.”

 

You are responsible for how your body functions and expresses life. You need to remember a diagnosis is a way of labeling your symptoms or condition so it can be treated. The most common form of treatment is prescription medication. The majority of the time, once you are put on medications, you are instructed to stay on them for the rest of your life.

Once given a label to describe your particular set of symptoms you are not given options to create health. Remember Dr. Barge’s words: “The really good physician prevents disease; he cannot cure anything. Because of this lack of knowledge, sickness has become more natural, or more expected, than health.”

 

Our focus has always been to help you to understand that you were created to express health. You have an amazing body and an amazing ability to heal.

 

We always go back to the 5 principals of Maximized Living:

• Essential  #1: Toxicity effects hormone balance and glandular function

• Essential  #2: Spinal health and function

• Essential  #3: Nutrition    

• Essential  #4: Movement

• Essential  #5: Sleep, Time, and Stress  

 

The more you become focused on these principals and apply them in your life the more you will live the life of your dreams.

 

Essential #3 will be presented on Monday, November 10^th at 6.30pm, right here in the office. Seating is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot with the front desk. Who are you bringing?

Know anyone on Cancer-causing cholesterol-lowering drugs? Know anyone taking diabetic medicine? Know anyone on high blood pressure drugs? They need to be here.

Just One More

I just returned from a Maximized Living Conference. It was our biggest event ever. The theme was “ONE MORE”. Recently, you might have seen big pharmas advertising on television, magazines, radio and even word of mouth – saying, “One Less”. Their whole campaign is to get as many young women vaccinated with Gardasil as possible.

According to the CDC, the human papilloma virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease in

America. More than 6 million women contract it annually, yet cervical cancer claims less than 3,900 women – most of which are due to not getting regular Pap smears. In the U.K., cervical cancer claims a mere 400 lives per year.

Why is your risk of dying from cervical cancer so low?

Because your immune system is usually strong enough to clear up this kind of infection on its own, and does so in more than 90 percent of all cases. The CDC even admits to this fact on their website.

And, as long as you’re getting regular PAP smears, cervical cancer can be caught in its early, and easily treatable, stages.

So, the question begs to be asked: WHY is the HPV vaccine being pushed so vigorously when:

1. It prevents a type of cancer that is very rare to begin with.
2. It protects against a virus that, 98 percent of the time, is not the cause of cervical cancer.
3. It prevents a type of cancer that can be easily caught and treated by promoting regular gynecological exams.
4. It offers less protection than what promotion of safe sex practices could accomplish.
5. It is promoted to girls years before becoming sexually active, even though the vaccine may only offer about three years worth of protection.
6. It prevents just 4 out of more than 100 strains of HPV; all of which your body can clear up on its own in 90 percent of all cases anyway.
7. It has NOT been proven safe. No one knows if it can cause cancer or infertility, for example:

On Dr. Mercola’s website (www.mercola.com), he shows that in other countries vaccine manufactures were creating vaccines that cause spontaneous abortions in young women. They were developing anti-fertility vaccines. None have been put on the market as of yet. There are over 50 references for your research on this subject. (See mercola.com)

Now, the federal government's Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) has received over 9,000 reports of problems since the vaccine's introduction in 2006, which include at least 28 spontaneous abortions, and 27 deaths. Is it possible that Gardasil’s cry to fame, ‘One Less’, is turning out to be nothing but a sick, ironic play on words?

You need to remember one thing - you are in charge of your health. Not a scientist, doctor, insurance company or drug company. You are in control. Have you ever wondered; if vaccines and medicines were so effective then why we need to look for new and improved ones?

Once they find a drug is harming and damaging humans (after many years in most cases) they remove the drug or change the drug. Until the side effects are know, people think it is safe because a doctor told you so.

 

We know one thing. Health comes from only one place. Healing comes from the power that God put in your body. No educated man will ever come close to understanding the amazing healing powers that reside inside of you. If allowed to come out, that power will move mountains, let alone keep your body well and healing. Just like the Human Papilloma Virus, your immune system kills it if working correctly. You need to remember, the more you interfere with this power with new chemicals and experimental medicines the greater chance you have of becoming sicker and more dependant.

 

Our Mission is to save “ONE MORE” from the shackles of chemicals and unneeded medicines. Last week, I had four patients tell me they no longer needed their medicines. Two cases that no longer needed asthma drugs, one eliminated consuming blood pressure medicines and another off all pain medication. Thank God for the Healing. Remember, healing comes from the inside. Once you understand the truth and get your life in alignment with this principal the healing begins. The healing is yours. You must take action.

 

The bible says, “the just shall live by his faith”. Which doesn’t mean that faith is like medicine, in fact it is not a substance at all. It is a code word for relationship. Just like any other relationship you can’t bottle it (medicine) or store it except in interactive exchange. The relationship only exists in the exchange. The reality is Faith is Action (see http://www.atgodstable.com for details). Faith is your active attitude and behavioral results of total reliance on God’s absolute trustworthiness.

 

This is why I love being a Maximized Doctor of Chiropractic. We get you into action (reading newsletters, traction, wobble, home care, monthly advanced talks, run walk club, patient dinners, regular adjustments, re-examination, appreciation days) all of this to get you in action. I know why people heal in our office and not in others. We rely on God’s trustworthiness for healing and it can only work if we take action. Get involved in this practice. Get involved in the programs. Suggest programs. This is your office we are here to serve you and this community. We want “ONE MORE” life saved not “One Less”. What gives you the right not to tell people the truth about healing and life? Tell “ONE MORE” - that one person could have their life transformed.

Pain and the Spine

ScienceDaily (Sep. 29, 2008) — Pain is more than a symptom of osteoarthritis, it is an inherent and damaging part of the disease itself, according to a study just published in journal Arthritis and Rheumatism. More specifically, the study revealed that pain signals originating in arthritic joints, and the biochemical processing of those signals as they reach the spinal cord, worsen and expand arthritis.

In addition, researchers found that nerve pathways carrying pain signals transfer inflammation from arthritic joints to the spine and back again, causing disease at both ends.

Technically, pain is a patient's conscious realization of discomfort. Before that can happen, however, information must be carried along nerve cell pathways from say an injured knee to the pain processing centers in dorsal horns of the spinal cord, a process called nociception. The current study provides strong evidence that two-way, nociceptive "crosstalk" may first enable joint arthritis to transmit inflammation into the spinal cord and brain, and then to spread through the central nervous system (CNS) from one joint to another.

Furthermore, if joint arthritis can cause neuro-inflammation, it could have a role in conditions like Alzheimer's disease, dementia and multiple sclerosis. Armed with the results, researchers have identified likely drug targets [same ol same ol… when are these guys gonna critically think about the flaw in their system of attack!?] that could interfere with key inflammatory receptors on sensory nerve cells as a new way to treat osteoarthritis (OA), which destroys joint cartilage in 21 million Americans. The most common form of arthritis, OA eventually brings deformity and severe pain as patients loose the protective cushion between bones in weight-bearing joints like knees and hips.

"Until relatively recently, osteoarthritis was believed to be due solely to wear and tear, and inevitable part of aging," said Stephanos Kyrkanides, D.D.S., Ph.D., associate professor of Dentistry at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "Recent studies have revealed, however, that specific biochemical changes contribute to the disease, changes that might be reversed by precision-designed drugs [Scratch that… adjustments]. Our study provides the first solid proof that some of those changes are related to pain processing, and suggests the mechanisms behind the effect," said Kyrkanides, whose work on genetics in dentistry led to broader applications. The common ground between arthritis and dentistry: the jaw joint is a common site of arthritic pain.

Study Details

Past studies have shown that specific nerve pathways along which pain signals travel repeatedly become more sensitive to pain signals with each use. This may be a part of ancient survival skill (if that hurt once, don't do it again). Secondly, pain has long been associated with inflammation (swelling and fever).

In fact, past research has shown that the same chemicals that cause inflammation also cause the sensation of pain and hyper-sensitivity to pain if injected. Kyrkanides' work centers around one such pro-inflammatory, signaling chemical called Interleukin 1-beta (IL-1β), which helps to ramp up the bodies attack on an infection.

Specifically, Kyrkanides' team genetically engineered a mouse where they could turn up on command the production of IL-1β in the jaw joint, a common site of arthritis. Experiments showed for the first time that turning up IL-1β in a peripheral joint caused higher levels of IL-1β to be produced in the dorsal horns of the spinal cord as well.

Using a second, even more elaborately engineered mouse model, the team also demonstrated for the first time that creating higher levels of IL-1β in cells called astrocytes in the spinal cord caused more osteoarthritic symptoms in joints. Past studies had shown astrocytes, non-nerve cells (glia) in the central nervous system that provide support for the spinal cord and brain, also serve as the immune cells of CNS organs. Among other things, they release cytokines like IL-1β to fight disease when triggered. The same cytokines released from CNS glia may also be released from neurons in joints, possibly explaining how crosstalk carries pain, inflammation and hyper-sensitivity back and forth.

In both mouse models, experimental techniques that shut down IL-1β signaling reversed the crosstalk effects. Specifically, researchers used a molecule, IL-1RA, known to inhibit the ability of IL-1β to link up with its receptors on nerve cells. Existing drugs (e.g. Kineret (anakinra), made by Amgen and indicated for rheumatoid arthritis) act like IL-1RA to block the ability IL-1β to send a pain signal through its specific nerve cell receptor, and Kyrkanides' group is exploring a new use for them as osteoarthritis treatment.

The implications of this process go further, however, because the cells surrounding sensory nerve cell pathways too can be affected by crosstalk. If 10 astrocytes secrete IL-1β in response to a pain impulse, Kyrkanides said, perhaps 1,000 adjacent cells will be affected, greatly expanding the field of inflammation. Spinal cord astrocytes are surrounded by sensory nerve cells that connect to other areas of the periphery, further expanding the effect. According to Kyrkanides' model, increased inflammation by in the central nervous system can then send signals back down the nerve pathways to the joints, causing the release of inflammatory factors there.

Among the proposed, inflammatory factors is calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP). The team observed higher levels calcitonin-gene related peptide (CGRP) production in primary sensory fibers in the same regions where IL-1β levels rose, and the release of IL-1β by sensory neurons may cause the release of CGRP in joints. Past studies in Kyrkanides reveal that CGRP can also cause cartilage-producing cells (chondrocytes) to mature too quickly and die, a hallmark of osteoarthritis.

Joining Kyrkanides in the publication from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry were co-authors M. Kerry O'Banion, M.D., Ph.D., Ross Tallents, D.D.S., J. Edward Puzas, Ph.D. and Sabine M. Brouxhon, M.D. Paolo Fiorentino was a student contributor and Jennie Miller was involved as Kyrkanides' technical associate. Maria Piancino, led a collaborative effort at the University of Torino, Italy. This work was supported in part by grants from the National Institutes of Health.

"Our study results confirm that joints can export inflammation in the form of higher IL-1β along sensory nerve pathways to the spinal cord, and that higher IL-1β inflammation in the spinal cord is sufficient in itself to create osteoarthritis in peripheral joints," Kyrkanides said. "We believe this to be a vitally important process contributing to orthopaedic and neurological diseases in which inflammation is a factor."

We Fought Cancer...and Cancer Won

This is what the headline reads in the September 22, 2008 edition of Newsweek.  And in my opinion it couldn't be more accurate.  As the timeline in the article states, in 1971 President Richard Nixon declared war on Cancer, signing the National Cancer Act, a $1.6 Billion effort to eradicate the disease.  And that year, an estimated 335,000 Americans died of cancer.

In 2008, some 565,650 Americas will die from the disease, representing a 69% increase over 1971.

I always find it interesting that we know more about cancer than we've ever known; yet more people die from it than ever.  As well, since we are always fighting cancer, wouldn't it make more sense to prevent cancer in the first place?

And now, yet another noble movement has begun: "Stand Up To Cancer", in which athletes, celebrities, music artists and television networks all have banded together and say “We keep waiting for someone to defeat cancer.  We're not waiting anymore.”

For sure it's a worthy, necessary, movement as far as the intent, but they are going about it the same way we have been for over 37 years when the war was declared on cancer. 

Let me explain what I mean. Get some big names, raise A ton of money, and then give it to the "all-knowing" scientists to do "research".  And the "recipe" for research is always the same…genetics and drugs.  The same recipe that has failed — especially when you look at drugs as a solution, when, in fact many drugs have been found to cause cancer!  Here are some examples:

• Cholesterol medication (Vytorin) - Recently shown to cause an increase in cancer mortality.
   (www.nejm.org September 2, 2008 (10.1056/NEJMsa080660)

• Arthritis Drugs (Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Blockers) – Causing cancers in children and young adults      
     (WebMD Health News 2008)

• MS and Chron's Disease Drug (Natalizumab / Tysabri) - Skin melanomas (deadly skin cancer)
    (WebMD Health News 2008)

• Breast Cancer Drug (Tamoxifen) – Shown to cause uterine cancer
    (International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, 2007)

• ADD/ADHD Drug (Methylphenidate / Ritalin / Concerta) – Cytogenic (chromosomal) damage
  connection shown. 
   (Cancer Letters Volume 230, Issue 2, 18 December 2005)

It's very simple: put any chemical into your body and it causes damage.  If your body can't heal the damage, you accumulate damage.  As damage spreads without healing, it is called disease.  What is the cure for cancer?  Prevention. Period.  That's the cure for cancer.  We have to stop causing it, then we won't have to fight it or declare war on it.

Are you taking chemicals (drugs)?  Who else do you know that is taking them?  Do you want to learn what you can do to never have to depend on chemicals (drugs) again? 

You, and up to 25 people you know, must be at our Maximized Living Makeover on Saturday, September 27th from 10 a.m.—1 p.m. at the Vancouver Church of Christ to learn exactly what you need to do to create health without chemicals.  Seating is limited so sign up today for your complimentary registration (you can also register by calling us at 360-260-6903).  You can’t afford to miss it!

Cancer Being Caused by Cholesterol Lowering Medications

Cholesterol-lowering drugs such as Lipitor, Crestor, Pravachol, Zocor and Mevacor serve as poignant examples.

Cholesterol-lowering drugs decrease CoQ10 levels within the heart.

This essential nutrient serves as an energy producing molecule and is crucial to proper cardiovascular function. Without it, the heart fails. Congestive heart failure is the outcome. This was highlighted when Merck, makers of the first cholesterol-lowering drug, filed for a patent for its profit-pulling Mevacor.

Cholesterol-lowering drugs can also destroy memory.

Cholesterol works to ensure the integrity of the “myelin sheath.” This coating within the brain is responsible for encouraging the passage of electrical messages. It is needed for memory and focus. As the cholesterol-lowering drugs deplete cholesterol the myelin sheath breaks down. Memory then deteriorates.

Cholesterol-lowering drugs increase the risk of cancer.

Studies show they mimic a growth factor responsible for cancers proliferation. The growth factor is known as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). VEGF is “cancer fertilizer.” Thus, cholesterol-lowering drug users are creating an environment within their body that is conducive to cancer growth. According to USA Today, the U.S. Government is not sending out warnings either. They reported, “Statins have killed and injured more people than the government has acknowledged.”

Crestor (Rosuvastatin) doesn’t work!

Heart failure patients benefit from omega-3 fatty acids — but not from Crestor (rosuvastatin) — industry-funded researchers report online in Lancet. Some 7,000 adults with heart failure were randomized to receive omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (1 g) or placebo daily; roughly 4500 were also assigned to Crestor (rosuvastatin) or placebo. Most were already using recommended therapies (e.g., ACE inhibitors). During about 4 years' follow-up, omega-3 treatment led to small but significant reductions in the two primary outcomes — death  and cardiovascular events. Crestor (rosuvastatin), however, did not affect patient outcomes.

Fortunately, we don’t need to rely on cholesterol-lowering drugs to prevent heart disease. Studies show that cholesterol does not play a role in the pandemic killer. In fact, cholesterol appears to increase life-span. You will have to wrestle with this: it is the antithesis of what drug companies and medical doctors promote. But it is true nonetheless. In 2003, the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society showed that elderly with low total cholesterol levels (<189 mg/dL) were at higher risk of dying relative to those with cholesterol levels from 276 to 417 mg/dL.

In closing, heart disease is not a disease of high cholesterol. If cholesterol were the culprit this ubiquitous substances would clog up the entire 100,000 miles of adult veins, arteries and capillaries. Instead, 90% of the time, heart disease is caused by the narrowing of the spaghetti-sized coronary arteries. The rest of the arteries, veins and capillaries that nourish the body remain perfectly healthy despite being rich in cholesterol and fat. This observation alone renders the cholesterol theory of heart disease obsolete.

During about 4 years' follow-up, omega-3 treatment led to small but significant reductions in the two primary outcomes — death  and cardiovascular events.

Crestor (rosuvastatin), however, did not affect patient outcomes.

Noting that most deaths were due to worsening heart failure or arrhythmia, the authors write: "The incorporation of [omega-3s] into the membranes of target cells and tissues is likely to produce a reduction in electrical excitability, decreasing the probability of fatal and non-fatal arrhythmic events."

Okay, here’s one more study showing cholesterol drugs don't do anything to improve health outcomes. All they do is lower cholesterol! They are officially worthless!
