Worse, the drug makers had withheld this crucial data for almost 2\u00a0years \u2013 despite the fact that 5\u00a0million people are currently taking these drugs. Statin drugs are a $40\u00a0billion annual business built entirely on the perception that they prevent heart attacks. This study threatens the credibility of the entire drug industry. A Congressional investigation is pending.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4452\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4452\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/why_book_cover_2008jan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/why_book_cover_2008jan.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/why_book_cover_2008jan-83x146.jpg 83w, https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/why_book_cover_2008jan-28x50.jpg 28w, https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/why_book_cover_2008jan-43x75.jpg 43w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Answers to Heart Disease: www.roadmap-to-health.org<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>THE NATURE OF THE DRUG INDUSTRY<\/h3>\n<p>Is this surprising? Not really. This scandal is not an exception, but the rule. The principles of the drug industry are simple: 1.\u00a0Diseases serve as the marketplace for the multi-billion dollar business with patented drugs. 2.\u00a0Prevention and eradication of diseases would eliminate these markets. 3.\u00a0The pharmaceutical investment business depends on selling perceptions, while making sure that diseases continue as markets for drug sales. 4.\u00a0The burden of this multi-billion dollar fraud is being carried by the people of America and the world. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pharma-fact.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.pharma-fact.org<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>HOW THE DRUG INDUSTRY DECEIVES US<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>HEART DISEASE<\/strong>. They tell us that high cholesterol levels damage the blood vessel walls and cause clogging of the arteries. Aplumber understands that if this were true we would get nose attacks and ear attacks at the same rate as heart attacks \u2013 and our veins would also clog. This is not the case.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CANCER.<\/strong> They tell us that chemotherapy drugs are the answer to cancers, because they destroy cancer cells. What they do not tell us is that chemotherapy agents are cell toxic chemicals many of them listed in the official &#8220;US Report on Carcinogens,&#8221; i.e.\u00a0cancer-causing agents. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chemo-facts.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.chemo-facts.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>AIDS.<\/strong> They tell us that similar chemotherapy drugs (antiretrovirals, ARVs) are the answer to the immune deficiency disease AIDS.
