The Cholesterol Conspiracy, 2nd Edition by Ladd McNamara, M.D. provides well over 200 medical references documenting the true cause of heart disease and atherosclerosis, which is oxidation and inflammation. Many people are prescribed statin drugs to lower their cholesterol, and it certainly lowers your cholesterol, but at what cost, and to what benefit?
It has been shown time and time again that statin drugs' benefits are not really achieved by the lowering of cholesterol but from their modest antioxidant/anti-inflammatory effect. Medical studies have shown that because statin drugs have a modest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, they are not only useful in reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, the inflammation of arteries, but the inflammation of joints in arthritis, and even in Alzheimer's patients. However, there are tremendous risks associated with statin drugs, ...severe risks.
It is Dr. Ladd McNamara's viewpoint that if one wishes to obtain an antioxidant effect, there are powerful, broad-spectrum antioxidants with powerful anti-inflammatory effects that have no toxic side-effects, which are extremely effective in reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, the inflammation of arterial walls, the inflammation of joints, and benefit Alzheimer's disease, as well as inflammation throughout the body much better than any pharmaceutical drug could ever do. If this is the case, why aren't we being told about them? Could there possibly be a profit motive that the pharmaceutical companies want to protect?
In his book, Dr. Ladd McNamara makes an undeniable case, backed by medical research that the use of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids are not only safe, but effective in promoting a healthy cardiovascular system. Of even greater concern, statin drugs lower the body's levels of co-enzyme Q10, and one cannot simply take CoQ10 to counter the effects of a statin drug, no more than a smoker can smoke two packs of cigarettes per day and undo the damage by taking vitamins. Dr. Ladd McNamara hopes this book would be read by both patients and their doctors, and together they can come up with a healthy alternative to the management and treatment of heart disease.
Dr. Ladd McNamara emphasizes that one should NEVER use the book to self-treat, but only use it for informational purposes only, and should not make decisions regarding starting or stopping medications without the guidance of their physician.
