Ive told you many times about the pressure tactics Big Pharma and even the government are using to statinize us all. The brainwashing program is all over magazines and television. While statins do lower cholesterol, theres not much evidence to support that they lower your risk of dying from heart disease.
In fact, no one has ever proved that cholesterol-lowering drugs reduce your heart disease risk at all. With statins, you can trade heart attack death for another malady, a malady that might even include heart failure. But that is not all. Statins are expensive. And they carry many other dangers. That is the bad news.
The good news is that, for the first time, a study has confirmed a much safer way to lower cholesterol. And the study also showed that this treatment will even lower your risk of death.
This was a randomized, placebo-controlled study (the best kind). The researchers followed 1,445 patients who were between the ages of 65 and 75 years. All of them had coronary heart disease and a history of heart attack.
They randomized the patients into two different groups. One group took the supplement xuezhikang. And the other group took a placebo. The study followed the two groups for an average of four years.
The results were simply stunning. The supplement xuezhikang reduced the incidence of coronary events (36.9%), death from coronary heart disease (31.0%), all-cause mortality (31.9%), stroke (44.1%), and malignancies (51.4%). It also reduced the need for a coronary stent or bypass by 48.6%. Look again. The all-cause mortality plummeted by almost a third, including cutting cancer risk by over half!
