Chadd - Cholesterol is NOT the cause of heart disease, and statin drugs are just a huge money-making scam. They are dangerous and totally unnecessary. Cholesterol is actually essential for the health of every cell in the body. Dr. Linus Pauling discovered 20 years ago that the primary, root cause of cardiovascular disease is the lack of sufficient vitamin C necessary for the body to repair and heal damaged arteries. But the 'authorities' of the medical/drug establishment just smugly dismissed Pauling's research, and even refused to run clinical tests using his vitamin C therapy. It was obviously a huge financial threat to Big Pharma and their multi-billion$ statin drug industry.
Vitamin C is not only a strong antioxidant, it is the essential nutrient needed to make collagen. After years of wear and tear from the pumping action of the heart, the interior walls of arteries near the heart become worn down and damaged. In order to repair and heal this damage, the body needs large quantities of vitamin C to produce collagen, which is sort of a glue used to maintain the health of all connective tissue. But if there is not enough vitamin C to produce the strong collagen needed to heal the wounds, then the body has to use cholesterol proteins in the bloodstream as a sort of 'band-aid' to patch over the wounds and prevent death from internal bleeding. That is how the plaques are initially formed in the arteries and cardiovascular disease develops. Cholesterol did not CAUSE the wounds, it's only there as a consequence of the wounds. Dr. Pauling recommended at least 2 or more grams of vitamin C per day to prevent cardiovascular disease. I would urge you to read two very informative articles at the website cqs.com.
