Agree.

One of our research team members says he is waiting for the day to see the first of the bad drugs lawsuits. He calls it the mother of bad drugs.

Pantethine was the front line metabolite for lipid disorders prior to the statins "takeover" of research. Pantethine (two pantetheine with a disulfide bond) is a very, very, very safe human metabolite (pantetheine) with multiple functions.

These inclulde raising HDL, lowering triglycerides, normalizing platelet function, reducing small particle LDL, potentiating reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers as well as numerous other benefits to metabolic processes.

There are hundreds of papers. There is also no money to made. High dose pantethine treatment (450mg-TID) is less than $0.75 a day.

Note. Pantethine is not B5. Pantethine is converted mostly in the lumina of the intestine by Vanin proteins (pantetheine hydrolase) to B5 and cysteamine.

“These inclulde raising HDL, lowering triglycerides, normalizing platelet function, reducing small particle LDL”

Thanks PA - the above all look REALLY GOOD after all the research I’ve also done on this topic.

The one thing that Statins do accomplish is lowering overall LDL...which is useless alone, and which is why they can’t show any improvements in the health of people who take them.

My cynicism/hatred of the medical community has gone through the roof on this and on diabetes and related treatment (which, I know, you’re up to speed on).

I still appreciate the medical community for many other reasons, as I would have been dead due to my appendix at age 3, be blind today except for lens replacement (but then that was probably due to me being on statins at the time), 2 hernia operations and 2 hemorrhoid operations - all 7 with excellent results! They also managed to keep my wife alive after a really bad childbirth. Life would otherwise suck without their great work.

When doctors do what they understand, they can be AWESOME - when they talk about stuff they don’t understand (usually nutrition-related), they’re no different than actors, just trying to make themselves important - without having a clue as to how little they know.
