Lipitor Lies

What is a Contortionist?For ordinally people like us ,it's like a hardest sport that we can do for our body..What do you know about Contortion also (known as contortionism)?

It is an unusual form of physical display which involves the dramatic bending and flexing of the human body.Statistical contortionism is the art of converting healthy people into patients by using numbers to exaggerate drug benefits.

Lipitor is a prime example. Drug companies and physicians use "relative risk reduction" while ignoring the "absolute risk reduction" in order to promote Lipitor use to a wider audience. This practice of statistical contortionism is akin to hiding evidence because it exaggerates benefits. See for yourself.

Lipitor promoters insist that those with so-called high cholesterol can achieve a 36% "relative risk reduction" in heart attack by using the cholesterol-lowering drug. The contortionists ignore that the same raw data can yield a more revealing "absolute risk reduction" of a paltry 1%. Using absolute risk reduction is more accurate because it compares the actual difference between the treated and untreated groups. Unfortunately, it is not good for increasing sales.BTW check out our previous post about 5 Reasons to Get Off Cholesterol Lowering Drugs

That Lipitor does not prevent heart attack is a death-blow to promoters. It goes virtually unnoticed because they push the absolute risk reduction under the drug-rug while magnifying relative risk reduction. This type of advertising disguised as science is the most dangerous trend in journalism today. It promotes drug use among healthy populations who are needlessly putting themselves at risk for adverse effects of Lipitor like cancer and heart failure.Check out:

Bamboozled - Hoodwinked

Bias among Statins Drug Trials
People of all ages as well as elderly have been bamboozled into taking cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) to prevent heart disease.

All statin drug trials from 1990 to 1999 suffered from age and gender bias. The statin drug trials were mainly conducted using middle-aged men, and did not study the effects among women, children, and the elderly or ethnic groups. Among these studies were 4S, CARE, LIPID, EXCEL, REGRESS, PREDICT, ACAPS, AFCAPS, WOSCOP, KAPS. There were 19 studies in total.

The General Accounting Office (GAO) of the United States Government has recognized the bias and stated:
"The trials generally have not evaluated the efficacy of cholesterol-lowering treatment for several important population groups, such as women, elderly men and women, and minority men and women. Thus, they provide little or no evidence of benefits or possible risks for these groups."

This is not medical advice. Medical diagnosis and treatment is constrained by law to be the monopoly of state licensed practitioners.
