The Statin Disaster
I wrote this book to provide the reader with the knowledge he/she will need to make an informed decision about whether to take a statin or not. This information is not readily available as most healthcare professionals do not understand how to properly evaluate a research article’s statistics.
“In ‘The Statin Disaster’, Dr Brownstein provides us with an accurate and revealing perspective of the true nature of statin drugs. Using his usual clarity and straightforward style, Dr. Brownstein delivers clinical support and evidence to help all readers understand the dangers and distortions of statin therapy even while they are being heavily promoted in some medical offices.”

Statins are the most profitable drugs in the history of Big Pharma. Statins fail to prevent or treat heart disease for almost everyone who takes them and they are causing more harm than any other class of medications. In fact, statins are effective for approximately 1% who take them. In other words, statins fail 99% who take them.
Cholesterol is not a harmful substance. In fact, it is an essential substance that is needed by every cell in the body. We cannot live without adequate amounts of cholesterol. You will learn what steps you can take to prevent becoming a heart patient and how to holistically treat heart disease. Dr. Brownstein will show you why the cholesterol = heart disease hypothesis is a failed paradigm.
Statins are associated with a host of serious adverse effects including ALS, breast cancer, cancer, congestive heart failure, kidney and liver damage, memory problems, muscle weakness, neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and thyroid disorders.
This book will show you why statins should be pulled from the marketplace.
