“In the ALLHAT study, there was ultimately no difference in the death rate from heart attacks between the statin-treated group and the no-statin group. Not a single life was saved by statins. The ASCOT-LLA study was the one that allowed Lipitor to claim that their drug lowered the risk of heart disease by 36 percent but for all the bragging, 100 mil was spent on the study and not a single life was saved. What’s more, critics of the study pointed out a trend toward higher rates of heart failure, diabetes, and kidney impairment in the Lipitor-treated group.”

“Nothing remains the same from one moment to the next, you can’t step into the same river twice. Life – evolution – the whole universe of space/time, matter/energy – existence itself – is essentially change.”
