Widely prescribed drugs act as cellular poisons that accelerate aging... deactivate DNA repair... promote diabetes, muscle fatigue and memory loss

The statin drugs prescribed to over 100 million people around the world have now been exposed as cellular poisons that accelerate aging and promote muscle fatigue, diabetes, memory loss and more.

Scientists at Tulane University in New Orleans found that statin drugs — which generate tens of billions of dollars a year for pharmaceutical companies — “deactivate” the stem cells responsible for cellular repair throughout the body. While statin drugs have been aggressively pushed by for-profit drug companies as “miracle” medicines, in truth they can lead to disastrous (even fatal) side effects in many patients.

As the UK Express writes, such side effects include “memory loss, muscle pain, diabetes, cataracts, liver dysfunction, diabetes, fatigue and memory loss.”

“Statins make regular users become older faster,” reports the Express, “leaving them open to long-term mental and physical decline…” The Express adds:

Scientists have found the heart disease drug badly affects our stem cells, the internal medical system which repairs damage to our bodies and protects us from muscle and joint pain as well as memory loss. … Professor Reza Izadpanah, a stem cell biologist and lead author of the research published in the American Journal of Physiology, said: “Our study shows statins may speed up the aging process.”

Statin drug side effects documented to include memory loss, muscle fatigue, cataracts and diabetes

The study, published in the American Journal of Physiology – Cell Physiology is entitled “The Impact of Statins on Biological Characteristics of Stem Cells Provides a Novel Explanation for Their Pleotropic Beneficial and Adverse Clinical Effects.”

The study abstract states that statin drug “side effects include memory loss, myopathy, cataract formation, and increased risk of diabetes.” It also warns that “Statins also impaired the expression of DNA repair genes including XRCC4, XRCC6, and Apex1.”

Doctors and drug companies have conspired for years to downplay the side effects of statin drugs, promoting the medications as “miracle” drugs that everyone should be taking. Some doctors even suggested statins should be dripped into the water supply like fluoride.

When patients experienced the devastating side effects of statin drugs — memory loss, diabetes, muscle fatigue, etc. — doctors simply put them on yet more medications for those symptoms. Statin drugs, in effect, became “gateway drugs” that led to expanding medication prescriptions for yet more high-profit drugs.

Heart industry doctors bribed to lower the limits of “high” cholesterol to push more statin drugs

To expand the scam, the medical system conspired to redefine “high cholesterol” to lower numbers, instantly thrusting tens of millions of people into a state that demanded “treatment” with high-profit medications. These decision panels of the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology were stacked with panelists who were bribed by pharmaceutical companies to redefine high cholesterol in a way that generated the most profits. As Natural News wrote in 2013:
Doctors claim the new guidelines will limit how many people with low heart risks are put on statins simply because of a cholesterol number. However, under the new advice, one-third of U.S. adults would meet the threshold to consider taking a statin, more than twice the 15 percent of adults who are recommended statins under current guidelines.

The justification for the panel having half its members with ties to Big Pharma: Ties between heart doctors and Big Pharma are so extensive that it is almost impossible to find a large group of doctors who have no industry ties.

For many years, Natural News has taught readers that statin drugs can cause nerve damage and other devastating health effects. But the medical establishment, as usual, ignored these side effects and kept pushing more statins for profit, pretending no one was being harmed.

Just like with the vaccine industry, the statin drug industry is far more concerned with pocketing huge profits than protecting lives. Now, thanks to researchers at Tulane University, the science of what causes statin drugs to be so dangerous to human health is better understood.

200+ DEA Agents Use Drugs, Steal Guns, Drive Drunk & Keep Jobs

The agency that enforces federal government’s war on drugs is full of hypocrisy, and the bosses don’t care.

Recent media investigations have found that Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) employees have used drugs, distributed drugs, lied to authorities and committed other serious offenses such as “improper association with a criminal element.”

What’s shocking is that the vast majority of these people have not been fired or even seriously reprimanded, let alone faced criminal charges like normal citizens would.

The USA Today reports:

“The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has allowed its employees to stay on the job despite internal investigations that found they had distributed drugs, lied to the authorities or committed other serious misconduct, newly disclosed records show.

The DEA’s internal affairs log shows investigators review more than 200 cases each year and often clear the agents involved. When they do find wrongdoing, the most common outcome is either a letter of caution — the lightest form of discipline the agency can impose — or a brief unpaid suspension.

In fewer than 6% of those cases did DEA managers recommend firing. In some of those cases, the agency allowed employees to quit. More often, it settled on a lesser punishment.”

Of the 50 who were recommended to be fired by the Board of Professional Conduct over the five-year period, only 13 actually got fired. Some went back on the job after a federal appeals board intervened.

A follow-up look at the new documents, conducted by the Huffington Post, revealed that numerous employees have failed drug tests, only to receive minor reprimands such as short suspensions. No one was fired, despite policy that states drug users will not be considered for employment.

The list of bad behavior continues.

“Indeed, a closer look at the internal log turns up numerous examples of disturbing behavior being punished with suspensions of a few days, at most. From 2010 through 2015, HuffPost found 62 instances of an employee losing or stealing a firearm; more than 30 violations for driving while intoxicated, including four while driving a government-owned vehicle and one that involved a hit-and-run; two occasions in which employees deprived individuals of their civil rights; nine instances of employees losing or stealing drug evidence; 10 cases in which agents lost or stole a defendant’s property; four violations for committing fraud against the government, two of which were punished by a letter of caution; and two more general violations of DEA policy on drug use. The DEA didn’t fire anyone as a direct result of these actions.”

These revelations come on top of scandals and human rights abuses uncovered in spring.

Daniel Chong was left handcuffed in a holding cell for five days with no food and water, yet the six DEA agents involved received only brief suspensions or letters of reprimand.

When the inspector general found that agents had attended cartel-funded sex parties with prostitutes while stationed in Colombia, then-administrator Michele Leonhart said federal law doesn’t allow her to fire the employees.

“There is a culture of protection internally that has to change. If there’s a bad apple, they need to be fired, if not prosecuted, and that’s just not happening,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.”

The inspector general in the Justice Department pointed out years ago that the DEA’s disciplinary process was extremely lax. But it takes public embarrassment to make anything happen in government accountability, or appear to happen.

The internal ethics watchdog is still undergoing a “systematic review” of DEA’s disciplinary process, according to a spokesman. By the time that is done, the agency will have a new list of crimes and misconduct to hand over.

What a profound irony that we have a government continuing to throw people in cages for possessing or trafficking certain psychoactive substances, while their own go unpunished for the very same behaviors and worse. Even the most loyal supporter of prohibition must find this moral crusade a sham.

These Brands Are Spending MILLIONS Yearly to Block Your Right To Know About GMOs - Please Boycott

Big food companies have spent $51 million so far this year denying you the right to know what's in their food. Is it a coincidence that these companies are also losing money as more people are turning away from their products?
  

Big food corporations have spent even more money than usual on lobbying in the first half of this year. The main reason is the support they’ve provided for what people are calling the Deny Americans the Right to Know Act (DARK Act) which was passed last month.

This act prevents states from creating their own GMO labeling laws, as well as  preventing dubious and inaccurate “natural” claims on GMO foods which is obviously absurd, yet this is what is actually going on right now.
 
In the first six months of this year this is what the corporate giants have spent on keeping the American people in the dark;

• Coca-Cola: $5,040,000
• PepsiCo: $3,230,000
• Kraft: $1,180,000
• Kellogg’s: $1,310,000
• General Mills: $1,100,000
• Land O’Lakes: $720,000 

The spending for GMO labeling from companies such Just Label It, was overwhelmed by these big corporations. Industry lobbyists have outspent GMO labeling advocates by 25-to-1.

Just Label It’s latest video interviews celebrity mothers about what they think about these major corporations preventing them from knowing what is in their children's food.
