Perfectly acceptable lies….
Well if you are being paid millions of pounds then yes it is.
During a near four year period I was lucky to have been a member of a very special group, a team dedicated to helping others that most doctors had given up on. So I have a unique set of memories that in my mind will always be very special.
These memories are of things that happened, not wishes or imagined fantasies. Think back yourself, things that you personally did, now if you share a specific memory with another person, how would you feel if they listened but then said it was a lie and you couldn’t have done the said thing. You’d be upset with them but it wouldn’t change the fact that you had the memory or that it actually happened.
During my time at “Huggins Applied Healing” I experienced some amazing things, saw real people survive and thrive after being told there was no hope. The blatant lies being splashed on newspapers and on TV regarding cholesterol and the use of statin drugs absolutely sickens me.

The Lancet Statin Study
Posted: 12 Sep 2016 03:35 AM PDT
On Friday 9th September 2016, an article was published in The Lancet with a quite extraordinary editorial. The full article can be seen here and the editorial is here. The editorial has been brilliantly dissected by Dr Malcolm Kendrick here, so I won’t cover that in this note.
The newspaper headlines were glowing “Statins prevent 80,000 heart attacks and strokes a year in UK, study finds“ and “A third of adults should take statins, new research suggests”. Taking out a full page advert, in every UK newspaper, could not have been more favourable.
The group behind the study is the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists (CTT), which is co-ordinated by the Clinical Trial Service Unit (CTSU). The first thing that you need to know about the CTSU is that the spat that the CTSU leader, Rory Collins, kicked off with the BMJ in 2014 led to him having to declare the previously well-hidden pharmaceutical funding enjoyed by the CTSU. This added up to £268m – give or take a few hundred thousand – and the sum is no doubt higher two years on.
A more discerning headline, therefore, could have been “Team paid c. £300m by statin makers finds statins are miracle drugs with miraculously negligible side-effects.”
So basically if you make billions in profit you can realistically pay millions in advertising and millions more to companies pretending to be independent and unbiased to con the public into believing shameful lies.
