[Alert] Statins Are WORTHLESS! (Here’s Why)

If you have heart problems, there’s no doubt your mainstream doc has you one at least one prescription drug.
You know, the statins that can weaken your muscles… increase your risk of diabetes… and even set you up for memory problems.
But according to a new study, there’s another HUGE problem with these deadly drugs…
THEY’RE WORTHLESS!
That means MILLIONS of people – maybe even you or someone you love – are taking on all of these risks without any results.
Here’s what you need to know.
A new study, published in the journal Heart, finds that 51 percent of people experience “a suboptimal response” after taking statins for 24 months
A “suboptimal response” means the drugs didn’t work.
I don’t know about you, but if I were taking a drug for two years and it didn’t do anything, I’d be MAD… especially because statins come with so many risky side-effects.
But here’s what your doctor won’t tell you: many studies show that reducing cholesterol does NOTHING to extend the life of the people taking statins – even if their cholesterol numbers drop.
Statin drugs are senseless because they are used to treat something that doesn’t need to be treated in the first place.
Here is what we know about high cholesterol from REAL scientific studies:
- 75% of people who suffer from a heart attack have normal levels of cholesterol.
- You live longer if you have higher cholesterol.
- Dementia is higher in people with low cholesterol.
And low-fat diet (suggested to lower cholesterol) increases your blood sugar and increases your risk of heart disease and cancer.
But your body needs cholesterol – it is important for normal cell function, hormone production, and even boosts your brain.
It is time to stop the insanity and put an end to our fears of cholesterol.
If you’re on statins, it’s time to talk to your doctor about getting off of them.
And if you’re worried about your heart health, it’s time to get a little more exercise and eat more leafy greens.
