(NaturalNews) Legions of well wishers look on as Senator Ted Kennedy
struggles for his life, fighting against one of the most difficult types of
brain tumors. Few men have had such an impact on the laws made in the United
States. As a powerful member of the Senate HELP committee Kennedy has been a
primary force shaping almost all health-related legislation for decades.
Ironically, it may be the drugs he has so adamantly promoted that are the straw
that broke the camel’s back, leading to his brain tumor.
Few Americans receive the preferential care given to an important Senator
like Kennedy. It is interesting to note what the “finest” care enables a person
to receive. He is being treated at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital,
arguably one of the best hospitals in the world; the same place he had
surgery for a significantly blocked carotid artery in October of 2007.
Now that the public’s attention will be diverted onto treating his cancer problem, not too many are going to explain that the care for his
carotid artery problem could be a primary reason for his brain tumor suddenly
emerging. Indeed, in Kennedy’s situation the fox and the hen house are the
same hospital; do you really expect them to take a close look at his situation
when such an evaluation is self incriminating? And on the larger scale such an
evaluation could lead to millions of Americans dumping their statin drugs in the trash.
Senator Kennedy’s Health
History
Kennedy is no poster child for health, fitness, or a healthy lifestyle. He
is overweight and out of shape and has been for a long time. Eight months
ago doctors found his left carotid artery mostly blocked and performed surgery to
clean out the plaque. It took many years of abuse to create that problem. In
all fairness to his doctors, Kennedy is not a very healthy patient. On the
other hand, that is what doctors are for – treating patients who aren’t
healthy and getting them back to real health.
We know from publicly disclosed information that Kennedy was taking
both blood pressuremedication and statin drugs to lower cholesterol. We can assume that as part of the “finestmedical care” his treatment to lower cholesterol was quite aggressive following his
carotid artery surgery – now the “gold standard” of care being pushed on
countless Americans. This means lowering cholesterol to abnormally low
physiological levels, based on the idea that if a person can’t make much
cholesterol then it can’t form plaque. Virtually no attention is given to the
potential risks of starving the cholesterol synthesis system throughout the
body – which is the core survival system of any person.
Kennedy was also on blood pressure medication. Most doctors think they have done their patients a real favor when they
use enough drugs to get their numbers looking better on paper. Unfortunately,
blood pressure medication typically reduces the flow of nutrition and oxygen to your brain, resulting in acid pH and an environment
readily suitable for cancer growth. There is a huge difference between having
normal blood pressure because you are healthy (meaning blood gets to your head
properly) and good blood pressure numbers artificially produced with drugs
(meaning blood doesn’t get to many areas of your body properly, including your
brain). There is no short cut to real health.
Statins and Cancer
Statins cause cancer for a variety of reasons, a fact that is consistently
covered up by the 20-billion-dollar-a-year statin industry – with the help of
Senators from both sides of the political aisle, like Kennedy, who actively
support the Big Pharma agenda. In fact, Big Pharma tries to promote statins as a cancer-protective drug based on the ability of statins to
kill cancer cells in test tubes. They do this in test tubes because they are so toxic.
In your body a dose required to kill cancer cells would kill you first.
Statins interfere with normal immune function in multiple ways. They are so
effective at suppressing your immune system that they have been researched as
immune-suppressing options for organ transplant patients. That is not good news
for anyone having to fight the flu or combat cancer.
Statins interfere with core survival systems that are “branches” in the
normal production of LDL cholesterol. Such interference in health is a major
side effect of statins, and widely ignored by prescribing physicians. For
example, selenium-containing genes are reduced/blocked by statins, including
the production of cellular glutathione; “ your cell’s most important
antioxidant that protects against cell mutations that can lead to cancer.
Important anti-cancer nutrients such as vitamin D and coenzyme Q10 are also
reduced by statins. And a primary anti-cancer cell-modulating substance known
as isoprenoids are reduced by statins. Isoprenoids in fruits, vegetables, and
whole grains are the reason eating these foods is associated with less cancer.
Blocking your body’s natural production of them with statin drugs is not a good
idea.
Brain cells are weakened by statins, as every brain cell has a naturally
higher level of cholesterol in its cell membrane so it can live longer (brain
cells do not split and divide like other cells).
Thus, super high levels of statins are immune toxic, cripple your body’s
natural cancer defense system, and weaken nerves. The longer a person stays on
these high doses the worse the problems become, as damage is cumulative and
insidiously progressive over time. When combined with blood pressure medication
this creates an environment within the nervous system ripe for cancer growth, a
fact that simply cannot be denied based on the timing of Kennedy’s problems.
When a person develops cancer while taking a statin the statin is never
blamed, even though it is an obvious causative agent that cannot possibly be
ruled out. The risk for cancer is especially true when cholesterol levels are
being suppressed to abnormally low levels that virtually no person who is
healthy possesses. The “finest” medical care money can buy enables an
individual to be poisoned by statins and the brightest medical minds on earth
don’t seem to have a clue what they are actually doing to people such as
Senator Kennedy.
Kennedy and Health Freedom
Ironically, in the case of Kennedy his health care is a direct result of the health policies he has forged. He is one of
the most anti-vitamin and anti-natural health senators. He has now slid down
the health ladder to the point he has no options but surgery, toxic drugs, or
FDA-sanctioned experiments. Can the cancer be killed before his body gives out?
He has very aggressive cancer and poor underlying health, not a good
combination.
No place on the internet will he find a credible explanation of what vitamins he should be taking right now, which ones would support his medical
options, and which ones would help him recover from his treatments most
effectively. You would think he would like to know which nutrients would help
turn off the inflammatory gene signals in his brain that are driving the
spreading of his cancer. He certainly won’t get that information from his
doctors. At least he might like to know what to do if his medical treatments
are successful enough that he has some time to try to fix himself.
