Dr. J's Cholesterol Fighter
New cholesterol guidelines for converting healthy people into patientsUffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD (Feel free to publish this site anywhere, but don´t forget to tell from where it comes) www.ravnskov.nu/ncep_guidelines In the May 16 issue (2001) of the Journal of the American Medical Association an expert panel from the National Cholesterol Education Program has published new guidelines for "the detection, evaluation, and treatment of high blood cholesterol" ….Their writing seems to be an attempt to put most of mankind on cholesterol-lowering diets and drugs. To do that, they have increased the number of risk factors that demands preventive measures, and expanded the limits for the previous ones. But not only does the panel exaggerate the risk of coronary disease and the relevance of high cholesterol, it also ignores a wealth of contradictory evidence. The panel statements reveal that its members have little clinical experience and lack basic knowledge of the medical literature, or worse, they ignore or misquote all studies that are contrary to their view. Here come a few examples of the panel’s false statements. As an argument for using cholesterol-lowering drugs the panel claims that twenty percent of patients with coronary heart disease have a new heart attack after ten years. But to reach that number any minor symptom without clinical significance is included. Most people survive even a major heart attack, many with few or no symptoms after recovery. What matters is how many die and this is much less than twenty percent. The panel also recommends cholesterol-lowering drugs to all diabetics above 20, and to people with the metabolic syndrome. If you have at least three of the "risk factors" mentioned below, you are suffering from the metabolic syndrome:
Test yourself and your family! I guess that using these limits, most of you "suffer" from the metabolic syndrome. And this new combination of risk factors, says the panel, conveys a similar risk for future heart disease as for people who already have coronary heart disease. Luckily, it is not true. It is not true either, that cholesterol has a strong power to predict the risk of a heart attack in men above 65. In the 30 year follow-up of the Framingham population for instance, high cholesterol was not predictive at all after the age of forty-seven, and those whose cholesterol went down had the highest risk of having a heart attack! To cite the Framingham authors: ”For each 1 mg/dl drop of cholesterol there was an 11 % increase in coronary and total mortality …. (Anderson KM, Castelli WP, Levy D. Cholesterol and mortality. 30 years of follow-up from the Framingham study. JAMA 1987;257:2176-2180.) It is not true either, that high cholesterol is a strong, independent predictor for other individuals. In most studies of women and of patients who already have had a heart attack, high cholesterol has little predictive power, if any at all. In a large study of Canadian men high cholesterol did not predict a heart attack, not even after 12 years, and in Russia, low, not high cholesterol level, is associated with future heart attacks …. Most studies have shown that high cholesterol is a very weak risk factor or no risk factor at all for old people…, but there are many more. Considering that more than 90% of all cardiovascular deaths occur in people above 60, this fact should have stopped the cholesterol campaign years ago. Also interesting is the fact, that in some families with the highest cholesterol levels ever seen in human beings, so-called familial hypercholesterolemia, the individuals do not get a heart attack more often than ordinary people, and they live just as long …. “ About the Author Born 1934 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Listed in Marquis Who´s Who in the World and Who´s Who in Medicine and Healthcare. Dr. Ravnskov is the spokesman of “THINCS”, The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics Dr. J’s Cholesterol Fighter Cholesterol is one of the primary “maladies” used today to promote the introduction of drugs with disastrous and, sometimes deadly, side effects into patients’ systems. These side effects lead to the “need” for other drugs to combat the side effects. Before long, the patient is in a vicious cycle of side effects and drugs from which it is difficult to escape. There are many other factors much more important to heart health than cholesterol. However, if you are still concerned about cholesterol, Dr. J’s Cholesterol Fighter is a safe, natural way to help in its reduction. It contains thirteen herbs known for their proclivity to reduce, emulsify, remove and dissolve cholesterol. More importantly, some of the herbs it contains can inhibit the formation of blood clots, lower blood pressure and open up blood vessels. Others stop thrombosis and help hardened vascular walls to become elastic. These are much more important to heart health than lowering cholesterol. The herbs our Dr. J’s Cholesterol Fighter contains are Alfalfa, Carrot, Chicory, Devil’s Claw, Evening Primrose, Fenugreek, Garlic, Ginger, Ginseng, Lecithin, Rosehips, Safflower and Yucca. Additional benefits (besides lowering cholesterol) of these herbs are considerable. Alfalfa is considered a pituitary hormone herb that aids in assimilation of protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium and other nutrients. It contains fluoride so it helps prevent tooth decay and helps rebuild decaying teeth. It contains electrolytes for energy and it strengthens the heart. It fights infection, cleans and deodorizes the body and breaks down carbon dioxide poisoning. It also helps those with narcotic and alcohol addiction. Carrot is important in the growth, formation and modeling of the endochondral tissue of the long bones and in the normal spacing of teeth. It is necessary for the synthesis of certain proteins and compounds that can inhibit the formation of tumors. Chicory contains sedatives, tones the system and expels morbid matter. It is used for upset stomachs and expels phlegm from the stomach. It removes uric acid to eliminate gout, joint stiffness and rheumatism. Devil’s Claw affects the liver, stomach, joints, kidneys, bladder, arteries, pancreas, blood, muscles, lymph system and gall bladder. It is primarily used for cholesterol, arthritis, rheumatism, gout, gallstones, diabetes and arteriosclerosis. It has the ability to cleanse deep within the muscles, cells, joints and tissue walls. It removes uric acid. It helps hardened vascular walls to become elastic. Evening Primrose is used in lowering cholesterol, inhibiting the formation of blood clots, lowering blood pressure and opens up blood vessels and stops thrombosis. Fenugreek dissolves cholesterol and fat deposits because it contains lecithin, choline and lipotropic substances. Garlic affects circulation, nerves, blood, arteries, feet, liver, pancreas, lymph system, heart, glands and head. Ginger reduces cholesterol in the blood and liver. It does this by impairing absorption of cholesterol from the intestine into the blood. Ginseng affects the whole body, heart, circulation, nervous system, reproductive system, endocrine system, adrenal cortex and fights both physical and mental fatigue. It reduces cholesterol, improves brain cells, is a heart tonic, improves body functions, especially hearing and vision, normalizes blood pressure, slows down the aging process and is said to protect the body against chemicals, drugs and radiation. It is thought to combat cancer by strengthening internal resistance enough to prevent cancer cells from multiplying. It is also said to decrease the likelihood of incurring a disease due to lowered body resistance. Lecithin affects bones, nerves, brain tissue, skin, arteries, intestines, pancreas, eyes, glands, hair and reproductive tract. It has the power to emulsify cholesterol that can accumulate in the arteries. It helps in digestion and absorption of fats. Rosehips affects capillaries, skin, eyes, intestines, glands, nerves, reproductive organs, veins and vessels. Rosehips is rich in rutin which is good for healthy blood vessels and capillaries and to prevent varicose veins, bruising and nose bleeds. It is also very nourishing to the skin. It is used for nervousness, stress, eyes, colds, flu, headaches, cramps, dizziness and arteriosclerosis. It is also used to purify the blood and to help remove cholesterol. Safflower affects kidneys, skin, nerves, liver, adrenal gland, respiratory tract, digestive tract, gall bladder, pancreas, urinary tract and heart. Also used for sluggish liver, gall bladder, pulmonary tuberculosis, to lower cholesterol and to regenerate the skin. Yucca affects the blood, joints, bones, adrenal glands, intestines, gall bladder, liver, head, skin and pancreas. Yucca (because of saponins it contains) helps clean out the undigested toxic wastes that produce foul smelling gasses. Saponins cause oil (or fats) and water to be able to combine. These saponins help the adrenal glands to manufacture materials needed to produce the body’s own cortisone. They also help dissolve and eliminate fatty build up in joints and arteries and so reduce cholesterol. This promotes better circulation. These saponins also break down organic bodily wastes like uric acid and clean mineral and salt deposits that may be present in the joints. Highly absorbable organic manganese in yucca helps alleviate stiffness in the joints and back. It is said to have the ability to regenerate deteriorated or damaged discs in the spinal column. The most important things we can do to avoid heart attacks and strokes are to watch our diets, get exercise and avoid the things that can cause heart attacks and strokes. One of the premier causes is side effects from drugs. The sensible thing to do if cholesterol is a concern is to reduce and remove it naturally. Dr. J’s Cholesterol Fighter is a safe, natural way to do that along with the added benefits obtained from the herbs it contains.
