It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Statin scam exposed: Cholesterol drugs cause rapid aging, brain damage and diabetes

Monday, September 28, 2015 by: Jennifer Lea Reynolds

(NaturalNews) Statins, the widely prescribed class of drugs said to lower "bad" cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart problems, has recently come under fire after a study revealed that they destroy human health more than they work to improve it.

Sadly, many people take statin drugs, which are commonly known by brand names including Lipitor, Crestor and Zocor. Prescription drug spending in the U.S. shot up to about $374 billion in 2014, representing the highest level of spending since 2001. Statins undoubtedly made up a significant portion of this spending, and now consumers who take such drugs have much more to worry about than the dent it's making in their wallets.

The study, which was published in the American Journal of Physiology, states that statins' "...impact on other biologic properties of stem cells provides a novel explanation for their adverse clinical effects." Specifically, the study states that such adverse effects include advancing the "process of aging" and also notes that "...long-term use of statins has been associated with adverse effects including myopathy, neurological side effects and an increased risk of diabetes." Myopathy refers to skeletal muscle weakness.

Statins make cells unable to repair properly, create nerve problems and destroy memory
Experts involved in the study suggest that the health problems associated with statins have likely been downplayed through the years. In reality, those taking such cholesterol-lowering drugs have been experiencing cataracts, fatigue, liver problems, muscle pain and memory loss. Simply put, the drugs have been found to tamper with cells in such a way that their primary purpose of reproducing and helping the body repair is thwarted. With that comes the onset of terrible health issues or the worsening of existing ones.

Professor Reza Izadpanah, a stem cell biologist and lead author of the published study, says, "Our study shows statins may speed up the ageing process. People who use statins as a preventative medicine for [health] should think again as our research shows they may have general unwanted effects on the body which could include muscle pain, nerve problems and joint problems."

Despite health problems linked to statin drugs, FDA says people shouldn't be scared of them
While the FDA notes on its web site that "Cognitive (brain-related) impairment, such as memory loss, forgetfulness and confusion, has been reported by some statin users" and that "People being treated with statins may have an increased risk of raised blood sugar levels and the development of Type 2 diabetes," they also maintain its safety and effectiveness. The site directs people's attention to the advice of Amy G. Egan, M.D., M.P.H., who is the deputy director for safety in the FDA's Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products (DMEP). She says, "This new information should not scare people off statins. Their benefit is indisputable, but they need to be taken with care and knowledge of their side effects."

Indisputable? Especially after this latest study, we beg to differ. What's beneficial about accelerated aging, cells that don't properly function, muscle weakness and memory loss?

The need to continually assess prescription drugs and older studies that tout their benefits
This finding demonstrates the importance of revisiting the so-called benefits of prescription drugs, something that hopefully continues so consumers can be fully informed and kept in the best health possible.

A similar eye-opening study involving the adolescent antidepressant Paxil recently made headlines when a reanalysis of an original study exposed errors and incomplete information. In reality, the drug was found not to be safe and effective for its intended demographic after all, a finding that Brian Nosek, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, says "signals that the community is waking up, checking its work and doing what science is supposed to do — self-correct."

Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure

January 14, 2016   All Articles, Health News and Articles Comments Off on Statins stimulate atherosclerosis and heart failure 155 Views

By naturopath Margaret Jasinska

A large study has just shown that cholesterol lowering drugs actually cause heart disease.

Statins have been a controversial topic for a long time. In recent years research is showing that their benefits have been very over stated while their side effects are becoming more apparent.

A new groundbreaking study led by Dr Okuyama and his team has shown that statins actually promote hardened, calcified arteries (atherosclerosis) as well as heart failure. They do this in a number of ways:

    Statins act as mitochondrial toxins by depleting the body of co enzyme Q10 and heme A. These two compounds are vital for energy production in cells. By depleting heart cells of energy, this raises the risk of heart failure and also fatigue.
    Statins inhibit your body’s production of vitamin K2. Vitamin K1 is found in green leafy vegetables, but K2 is the more biologically active form. It helps to keep calcium in your bones and away from soft tissue. If you don’t get enough vitamin K2, your arteries are likely to undergo hardening (calcification).
    Statins inhibit your body’s production of selenium-containing enzymes, including glutathione peroxidase. Low levels of glutathione in the body promote oxidative stress and free radical damage. Low selenium levels may be a factor in congestive heart failure.


The study authors evaluated more than 20 major research papers on statins, and the conclusions drawn should make all physicians re-evaluate how they prescribe these drugs. Some of the most interesting statements from the researchers include:

“We have collected a wealth of information on cholesterol and statins from many published papers and find overwhelming evidence that these drugs accelerate hardening of the arteries and can cause, or worsen, heart failure.”

“The hypothesis that statins protect the heart by lowering cholesterol is flawed and high cholesterol is not necessarily linked to heart disease.”

Why is it that these findings are only being made public now? Dr Okuyama said that “Many earlier industry-sponsored studies, which show the benefits of statins, are unreliable. They were carried out before new regulations were introduced in 2004 which insist on all trial findings, both negative and positive, being declared.”

Dr Peter Langsjoen is a heart specialist in Texas and is a co-author of the study. He said “Statins are being used so aggressively and in such large numbers of people that the adverse effects are now becoming obvious. These drugs should never have been approved for use. The long-term effects are devastating.”

Statins do have their place. They can help to reduce the risk of a heart attack in men who have already had one heart attack. The problem is these drugs are often prescribed to healthy people who do not have risk factors for heart disease. It’s also important to remember that cholesterol lowering drugs raise the risk of type 2 diabetes. Diabetics typically have a shorter lifespan and suffer with numerous health conditions that significantly reduce quality of life.

If you are taking a statin please don’t discontinue it. It is very important to seek medical advice. Perhaps your cholesterol can be improved with diet and lifestyle changes and the use of nutritional supplements. If you are not happy with the advice you’re getting from your doctor, perhaps it’s time to seek another opinion. Maybe your doctor is not fully up to date with the literature.
