The Hidden Origin of Statin Drugs
Shane Ellison, M.Sc.
No one would care to look twice – or even once – at the origin of
statin drugs. Except, perhaps, if you needed one more reason not to
use them or were an FDA-approved drug addict looking for an
inexpensive alternative.
The origin of statin drugs is not a testament to the ingenuity and
innovation of drug companies. Despite enjoying an unprecedented
surge of momentum in popularity, statins are nothing more than an
isolated poison derived from the fungus known as red yeast rice
(Monascus purpurus).
In a natural response to the threat of a predator, red yeast
produces the drug known as lovastatin (as well as other chemicals).
Utilizing fundamental laboratory research, the discovery and
isolation of lovastatin from red yeast rice was paid for by the U.S.
government in the 1970s. This secured a monopoly of knowledge,
allowing for the censorship of the truth behind the wildly popular
cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Commercially, lovastatin is known as Mevacor. It was the first
statin drug, released in 1987 by the U.S. government-influenced
company named Merck. Using a technique known as combinatorial
chemistry, other drug companies have since unleashed their own
versions. These versions include Zocor, Lipitor, Pravachol and
Crestor.
As a toxic agent, the consumption of lovastatin via red yeast rice
by its predators leads to sickness and in some cases, death. This
is true for humans as well. Lovastatin's (and all other statin
drugs) toxicity is attributed to its ability to block cholesterol
and CoQ10 production.
Low levels of cholesterol and CoQ10 limit lifespan in humans. In
2005, the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society showed that
elderly people with low levels of total cholesterol were
approximately twice as likely to die as those with high
cholesterol. CoQ10 is a coenzyme necessary for the production of
ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the source for cellular energy
within the human heart. As CoQ10 is diminished, the heart weakens.
Over time, this can result in congestive heart failure (CHF).
Humans appear to be so advanced, and yet they are the only species
unable to recognize this simple defense mechanism of red yeast
rice. Millions are blindly consuming statins as an elixir for
longevity. Consumption of this poison fungus has grown worldwide.
The statin craze serves as a terrific example of how a little bit of
knowledge can be dangerous. Nowhere in the history of man has an
acknowledged poison been touted as a daily vitamin for every man,
woman and child. The scientific community should be proud. Statins
are the best selling drug of all time.
