Product Description
As a drug chemist for a leading pharmaceutical company I made a startling discovery: you do not have to be dependent on FDA approved drugs to avoid heart disease. In fact, research clearly shows the opposite. You don't need a single prescription drug to avoid this killer. Consider this: FDA approved drugs, used as prescribed, are killing over 125,000 people every year. Nationally, this makes prescription drugs the fourth leading cause of death after cancer, heart disease and stroke. That does not count death by medical error, which adds 98,000 deaths to this atrocity. Hypnotized by drug ads, the general public is oblivious to the deaths caused by prescription drug use. This is evidenced by their willingness to swallow whatever "the doctor ordered". This is especially true for drugs targeting heart disease. The best selling drugs of all time are the cholesterol-lowering drugs knows as "statins". They procure drug makers and their shareholders billions of dollars in profit every year. The success of these drugs is not attributed to their effectiveness but instead to slick and misleading marketing practices. This hype is fueled by egregious conflicts of interest among drug company servants disguised as experts. Don't be surprised if your own doctor falls within this group. The truth be told, statin drugs are poisons - foreign to the human body and at times life threatening. Avoiding heart disease should not be expensive or dangerous. A plethora of natural alternatives exist. Understanding them as outlined in this paradigm-shifting book will arm you with the knowledge and courage not to accept popular dogma. This book may prove to be one of the greatest assets to your health.

Spot on! by Christian (Land O Lakes, FL United States) 5 Stars
October 23, 2009
Having had a father that passed of a heart attack at age 57, naturally I was always concerned about what would happen to me as I aged. I aggressively treated my high cholesterol and high LDL and Triglycerides with statins. On the max dose of Lipitor on and off for the past 4-5 years. Well guess what happened to me at age 57! Yep, had a left anterior descending artery (aka The Widowmaker) 85% blocked. I had a successful stent installed and it's now been about 18 months of nothing but improvement. So why, with all of the wonders that big pharma brainwashes our docs and us with did I essentially have the same result my father had?? He passed because there were few bypasses and no stents in 1979. Yes medical technology saved me but no thanks to big pharma. Now after the statins for over 15 years I have chronic back pain and most recently pains shooting down my right arm. After reading Shane's book and doing other research, I reduced the lipitor to 10mg and am only on that dose as several reliable, NOT BACKED BY BIG PHARMA, sources say that statins have a protective benefit for the arteries at very low dose that does not improve with high doses. I have now read all of Shane's books and am no longer a fan of big pharma. Check it out for yourself and BUY THE BOOK!

Be Your Own Health Advocate by F. Latham (Nature Coast FL) 5 Stars
August 03, 2009
A must read for anyone who is pressured by their physician to take cholesterol lowering drugs, and who feels seduced by the constant barrage of advertizing for them. One has to make up their own mind by reading the documented literature instead. This book is easy to read, to understand and there are many references and links for further study.

Essential to Understand What Effect Statins Really Have on Your Health by Merri (Houston) 5 Stars
August 02, 2009
Anyone taking, or considering taking, statin drugs of any type need to be aware of the pharmaceutical science (in layman's language) that reveals facts of their physiological effects. There are many degenerative conditions falsely attributed to aging that are proven to accompany statin drug use. The author was a pharmacist and he gives statistics, names/dates of studies, inside information of how the drug industry initiated and pursues the creation, prescribing and selling of these drugs. The doubter need only read the details on these topics within the pages. Of minor note, the author is not a professional writer; some passages are written in a vernacular, conversational style which does not however, detract from the seriousness of the subject.

The BEST book on cholesterol out there! by Photo Buff (Parkland, PA USA) 5 Stars
November 26, 2008
Amazing information in this small book...lots of facts and research...drugs ARE big business...every where you turn, there are ads for drugs...especially now for lowering your cholesterol. This book gives you the facts of why cholesterol is not the culprit it is made out to be. I agree with what he says. I knew several people with low cholesterol who had heart attacks...my cholesterol is very high...325+...and I feel great...I have plenty of energy, my weight is down, and I exercise by walking and playing with my new bought puppy, JoJo. Don't get caught up with all those drug commercials...do research and buy books like this to help you understand why doctors recommend drugs...doctors are NOT gods to believe everything they tell you to do and take. Exercise, eat low fat foods, laugh, and develop a positive attitude and these things will help with many health problems. Be informed before you take drugs...they ALL seem to have negative side effects...Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

Telling the truth is treason in the empire of lies by Billy-Bob Garcia (Clarksville, TN) 4 Stars
February 17, 2008
Statins are toxic and unsafe at "effective" doses. Once the truth comes out, the pharmaceutical industry will collapse and will likely take us M.D.'s down with them. Can't say we don't have it coming, though. In practical terms, it is difficult to get the word out. The propaganda on statins is pervasive, and any time you tell a patient the truth, they look at you like you just told them the earth was flat. The other docs in the community may start thinking you're a crackpot as well, and perhaps stop referring patients your way. Cholesterol is a great moneymaker for primary docs. Periodically, patients come in to get checked, get a prescription for Lipitor, and from then on every 3-6 months will require LFT's to check liver and recheck cholesterol. Between then, the patients will come in to be evaluated for side effects (GERD, memory loss, myalgia, etc). Anyway, good book.
