New Research: Low LDL Cholesterol May Increase Cancer Risk

Monday, May 7th, 2012

Researchers have discovered a new cancer risk. And it’s easy to increase this risk accidentally.


But don’t bother asking your doctor about it. There’s a very good chance he hasn’t even heard of it.

What’s worse, research on this risk has been sparse. And mainstream media reporting has been virtually absent.

Gee…it’s almost as if nobody wants to come right out and say it: Low LDL cholesterol may increase cancer risk.

Uh oh — not too loud! After years of telling us that we need to drive LDL down as low as it can possibly go, you can be sure that an LDL/cancer link is the LAST thing the medical mainstream wants to admit.

But there it is. Hiding in plain sight.

———————————————————————
Heads planted firmly in the sand

Here’s an astonishing comment from a recent Science Daily article…

“Previous studies of cholesterol-lowering drugs have suggested a strong association between low levels of LDL-C and cancer risk.”

Stunning! And yet…

NBC? CBS? Fox News? New York Times? Hello! Anybody out there care to share this information with the world? No? Okay. It seems we’ll have to follow this one under the mainstream radar.

The Science Daily article covered a study that looked at low LDL and cancer risk among patients who never took cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.

Here’s a comment from one of the researchers: “The evidence so far tells us that the drugs themselves do not increase the risk of cancer.”

Okay. Let me see if I’ve got this straight. Low LDL increases cancer risk. Statins lower LDL. But statins don’t increase cancer risk.

See how that works? The statins can’t be to blame. Heavens no! It’s the low LDL. THERE’S your culprit!

A few years ago, I told you about a Canadian Medical Association Journal study that caught the low LDL link to cancer. And before that, in 2007, a Journal of the American College of Cardiology study also recognized the link.

But each time this association emerges, researchers go out of their way to parrot the mainstream medicine party line about statins. They almost act like they HAVE to remind everyone that statins are indispensible.

These guys will never let go.

I’ll be on the lookout for further research about cancer and LDL — and, of course, any additional warnings about statins.

Heroes of Occupy Wall Street Braving the Snow, Wind and Cold

Wall Street Is Occupied Day 44
Occupy Wall Street, Fighting the Snow, Wind and Cold, During Rare October Storm

Author: Carole Ditosti

October 29th weather forecast in New York City. Historic and rare October Nor’easter: snow, sleet, wind. Temperature range around 35 degrees during the day, 32 degrees overnight. Wind chill makes it feel like 23 degrees. Snow accumulations could be two inches. Winds at 20-30 mph, wind gusts could be 40 mph. (Weather Channel)

But “neither snow nor sleet nor rain nor hail” are stopping the Occupy Wall Street protestors at Zuccotti Park. (New York Times) Today, they attempted, despite all odds, to remain warm and dry in the rare October storm which blasted through their environs, whipping tents and tree branches and dumping mixtures of sleet and wet snow on their already wet heads. And they are doing the same in the evening which has been forecast to be colder, snowier and windier.

Shivering in the wet, I walked through Zuccotti, umbrella overhead, camera at the ready, picking up snatches of conversation here and there. One young man covered in a yellow slicker and hoodie discussed how he was born in the protests of the feminist movement, his mother taking him to marches and sit-ins. He was used to activism and appreciated its power. When asked where his mother was now, he responded that she was out west and had “gotten religion.” He said he didn’t own property and lived with friends in Florida. He said he was at Zuccotti protesting because, “He was pissed.”

Walking along the pathway under tarps and between the tents where protestors had sought an uncomfortable shelter from the relentless blustering wind and damp, I saw organizers moving to and fro reminding the occupiers to check up on their neighbors to make sure they were doing OK. A medical tent had been set up to help those who might be overcome by the cold or who had other issues that needed attention .Others stood getting coffee and food. It was remarkable to me that they had the stamina and the courage to be there. Their presence heartened me, yet I was worried for them in such conditions.

I bumped into folks moving on the pathway. All were courteous to “the stranger.” They wanted to be there, despite conditions and had prepared themselves for taking this stand, regardless: “neither snow, nor sleet, nor hail, nor wind, nor cold.” Some were attempting to clean areas. Others were delivering boards and other materials so that they wouldn’t have to place sleeping bags on wet concrete. Water was running everywhere, it seemed.

U.S. War Drums Beating Again for Iran

Monday, October 17th, 2011

With U.S. war drums beating again for Iran, I think it’s important to review some of the history between the the respective nations.

It’s easy to sit here and watch the lame stream media tell us how awful they are, so that we can point our fingers, act like we know what’s happening, and call ourselves the ‘good guys’.

Well, unfortunately, that simply is not the case. Our government has a long and sorted history with Iran that most people aren’t at all aware of…

To Isolate Iran, U.S. Presses Inspectors on Nuclear Data

Published: October 15, 2011

Obama the TyrantWASHINGTON — President Obama is pressing United Nations nuclear inspectors to release classified intelligence information showing that Iran is designing and experimenting with nuclear weapons technology. The president’s push is part of a larger American effort to further isolate and increase pressure on Iran after accusing it of a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States.
The Obama administration, since coming to office, has never publicly presented detailed evidence to back up its claim that Iran is driving toward a weapon or creating the technology to assemble one quickly, should it need it. But it has discussed the evidence widely with allies.

World Bank and HSBC Burned Houses to the Ground and Killed Children to Profit from their Global Warming SCAM

Armed Troops Burn Down Homes, Kill Children To Evict Ugandans In Name Of Global Warming


Armed Troops Burn Down Homes, Kill Children To Evict Ugandans In Name Of Global Warming

Neo-colonial land grabs carried out on behalf of World Bank-backed British company

Armed troops acting on behalf of a British carbon trading company backed by the World Bank burned houses to the ground and killed children to evict Ugandans from their homes in the name of seizing land to protect against “global warming,” a shocking illustration of how the climate change con is a barbarian form of neo-colonialism.

 

The evictions were ordered by New Forests Company, an outfit that seizes land in Africa to grow trees then sells the “carbon credits” on to transnational corporations. The company is backed by the World Bank and HSBC. Its Board of Directors includes HSBC Managing Director Sajjad Sabur, as well as other former Goldman Sachs investment bankers.

The company claims residents of Kicucula left in a “peaceful” and “voluntary” manner, and yet the people tell a story of terror and bloodshed. Villagers told of how armed “security forces” stormed their village and torched houses, burning an eight-year-child to death as they threatened to murder anyone who resisted while beating others.

“We were in church,” recalled Jean-Marie Tushabe, 26, a father of two. “I heard bullets being shot into the air.”

“Cars were coming with police,” Mr. Tushabe said, sitting among the ruins of his old home. “They headed straight to the houses. They took our plates, cups, mattresses, bed, pillows. Then we saw them getting a matchbox out of their pockets.”

“But in this case, the government and the company said the settlers were illegal and evicted for a good cause: to protect the environment and help fight global warming,” reports the New York Times.

Indeed, poorer countries rejected the 2009 Copenhagen climate agreement precisely because it discriminated against third world nations.

In addition, the Obama administration, firmly supported by Al Gore, last year ordered the World Bank to keep “developing” countries underdeveloped by blocking them from building coal-fired power plants, ensuring that poorer countries remain in poverty as a result of energy demands not being met.

By preventing poor nations from becoming self-sufficient in blocking them from producing their own energy, the Obama administration is ensuring that millions more will die from starvation and lack of access to hospitals and medical treatment.

While ignorant environmentalist leftists preach all day about the effects of global warming having the most impact on poorer countries, it is in fact the poorer countries and their people who are suffering most from global warming alarmism, and predators like the banker-backed New Forests Company.

The seizure of arable land in the name of “global warming” is set to become big business, which is why the United Nations recently announced it is preparing to roll out an army of green helmeted “climate peacekeepers” to intervene in poorer countries to protect “shrinking resources”.

Transnational corporations, in league with western governments and offshore banks, have seized upon the climate change scam to carry out genocidal policies and land grabs in the pursuit of selling carbon credits to other transnational corporations who then merely pass on the cost to the consumer.

10 mins to Expose Global Warming Scam

Description taken from http://www.youtube.com/user/wakeupdocumentaries

This is my 2nd video.

It will explain the truth about global warming / climate change.

Note: As of now, sunspots are low so the earth is cooling (which explains why the 2008 winter was intense).
