We should applaud Doctor Steven Nissen for his courageous remarks
about the failure of Zetia to reduce arterial plaque (now proven in
three studies) and Merck's failure to provide meaningful health data
in its original research, even as it continued to market the drug.
Dr. Nissen also pointed out the superiority of niacin (vitamin B3) in
reducing arterial plaque, a nod to established science on the
effectiveness of vitamin therapy. Doctor Nissen is head of
cardiology at the Cleveland Clinic and was named by TIME Magazine as
"one of the 100 most influential people in the world." There have
been several industry insiders taking shots at Dr. Nissen for his
position on this, so it wouldn't hurt for his office to receive some
letters or emails of support. Here is the link:

Peer only need write. Most posters here have words with no weight, and
some have severely crippled reputations based on their posting habits.

My internist prescribed long acting Vitamin B to up my good
cholesterol, even though my total was on low side.

That was 2 years ago. Vitamin B is not news.

And, once again, careful sceintific monitoring shows that a medication
is not as good as once thought.

"Careful scientific monitoring" as people die from of an improperly
tested drug is neither careful nor scientific. It's murder.

If it were murder it would be dealt with in a court of law. You have no
understanding of the word, your hypocrisy veils your eyes from the truth
and you use attacking words to defend an indefensible statement of
ignorance.

IOW, when drug companies put profit over human life, and people die,
you're okay with that. Thanks for showing us your true colors.

Only a moron could draw a conclusion like that out of what I wrote.

Hi, Moron.

Do you then agree that Merck and other drug makers are guilty of
profiting at the public's expense as they rely on clinical data which
later proves to be faulty. Yes or No.

It is your strawman agrument, not mine. You, obviously being a moron,
ignored what I wrote just previously so that you could continue on with
your shilling heart pretending to have an argument.

You don't control me, nor do you speak for me or anyone else for that
matter.

You should sit down and write a letter of thanks for the vaccinations
you received and the added extension to your miserable life. Obviously
they are not as deadly as you try to make it sound, you are still here.

I know that your standard is to have no drug or vaccine offered to the
public that is not proven to be 100% safe, without human testing.

The only standard that matters in medicine is that which our genes
have successfully adapted to over the millennia. While drugs may
change markers for disease or modify their symptoms, they neither heal
nor prevent them. You cannot change how the body works. Put another
way, you cannot change God's design.
