Dr. Ken Berry: The Statin Deception

Dr. Ken Berry (MD) discusses the difference between Relative-Risk-Reducation & Absolute-Risk-Reduction regarding Statin Drugs such as Lipitor and Crestor. Lipitor's Absolute-Risk-Reduction is less than 1%, its Relative-Risk-Reduction is 36%. Real-World risk reduction = Absolute-Risk-Reduction. "Relative-Risk-Reduction" is irrelevent. Lipitor, Crestor, and Statin Drugs are dangerous, and do NOT prevent fatal heart-attacks. Adverse Effets of Statin Drugs include: diabetes, dementia, bone deterioration, muscle damage, vision loss, cataracts, and liver damage. The Overall Absolute-Risk-Reduction for all Statin Drugs is 0.8% or practically 0.0% = USELESS. Statin Drugs are just another deadly and expensive Big Pharma SCAM. If independent research firms conducted Statin Drug efficacy research (other than the Drug Companies themselves), Statin Drugs would have been banned decades ago! Drug Companies are not qualified to "conduct research" on their own drugs! Only outside third party research firms other than Drug Companies (without conflict-of-interest) are qualified to conduct accurate and impartial pharmaceutical efficacy research. Statins Drugs are a SCAM, avoid them like the plague!
