Researchers have found that taking statins increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by nearly a third.
Not only do patients taking statins risk suffering serious side-effects and developing additional diseases such as diabetes, the fact is that – as has now been recognized by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in Britain – the cholesterol theory of heart disease is “dead”. In short, high cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease – it is simply the consequence of it.
Based on groundbreaking research he has carried out over a period of more than 25 years, Dr. Rath has proved that heart disease occurs for precisely the same reason that clinical (early) scurvy does – a deficiency of vitamin C in the cells composing the artery walls. Rather like a motor car running out of fuel and the driver responding by filling it with something else that it wasn’t designed for, drugs are clearly not the answer to this health problem.
To learn how high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes can be prevented naturally, without drugs, read Dr. Rath’s classic book, Why Animals Don’t Get Heart Disease…But People Do!
