Mike Adams Of Natural News blows the lid off Big Pharma’s Statin Drugs. Do you have high cholesterol? Big Pharma has a pill for that of course, and it might even kill ya faster than the supposed high cholesterol will? 

For starters statin drugs will speed up the aging process, prevents the body from healing naturally by interfering with DNA repair, statins cause cataracts and diabetes along with other negative health problems the  drug creates.

(NaturalNews) The statin drugs prescribed to over 100 million people around the world have now been exposed as cellular poisons that accelerate aging and promote muscle fatigue, diabetes, memory loss and more.

Scientists at Tulane University in New Orleans found that statin drugs — which generate tens of billions of dollars a year for pharmaceutical companies — “deactivate” the stem cells responsible for cellular repair throughout the body. While statin drugs have been aggressively pushed by for-profit drug companies as “miracle” medicines, in truth they can lead to disastrous (even fatal) side effects in many patients.

As the UK Express writes, such side effects include “memory loss, muscle pain, diabetes, cataracts, liver dysfunction, diabetes, fatigue and memory loss.”

“Statins make regular users become older faster,” reports the Express, “leaving them open to long-term mental and physical decline…” The Express adds:

Scientists have found the heart disease drug badly affects our stem cells, the internal medical system which repairs damage to our bodies and protects us from muscle and joint pain as well as memory loss. … Professor Reza Izadpanah, a stem cell biologist and lead author of the research published in the American Journal of Physiology, said: “Our study shows statins may speed up the aging process.”

Statin drug side effects documented to include memory loss, muscle fatigue, cataracts and diabetes

The study, published in the American Journal of Physiology – Cell Physiology is entitled “The Impact of Statins on Biological Characteristics of Stem Cells Provides a Novel Explanation for Their Pleotropic Beneficial and Adverse Clinical Effects.”

The study abstract states that statin drug “side effects include memory loss, myopathy, cataract formation, and increased risk of diabetes.” It also warns that “Statins also impaired the expression of DNA repair genes including XRCC4, XRCC6, and Apex1.”

Doctors and drug companies have conspired for years to downplay the side effects of statin drugs, promoting the medications as “miracle” drugs that everyone should be taking. Some doctors even suggested statins should be dripped into the water supply like fluoride.

When patients experienced the devastating side effects of statin drugs — memory loss, diabetes, muscle fatigue, etc. — doctors simply put them on yet more medications for those symptoms. Statin drugs, in effect, became “gateway drugs” that led to expanding medication prescriptions for yet more high-profit drugs.
