In trial studies, a cholesterol shot lowers cholesterol an average of 66%! The first phase of testing patients who had high cholesterol is a success. The patients were given AMG 145, and the numbers are staggering.
According to Yahoo Health, "The early phase 1 clinical trial, designed mainly to see if the treatment was safe, followed 51 patients who received a shot of the drug, AMG 145, either once every two or every four weeks."
The news is promising for those who have struggled with high cholesterol. I have tried everything, but the doctor says my family history is such that we just have high numbers. I am not overweight and even after losing weight, my numbers went up rather than down, so this study is exciting.
The next phase testing the cholesterol shot is soon, and if approved it may be ready for general use.

World Renown Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease
THE SCARE TACTIC:
I trained for many years with other prominent physicians labeled “opinion makers.†Bombarded with scientific literature, continually attending education seminars, we opinion makers insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol.
The only accepted therapy was prescribing medications to lower cholesterol and a diet that severely restricted fat intake. The latter of course we insisted would lower cholesterol and heart disease. Deviations from these recommendations were considered heresy and could quite possibly result in malpractice.
THE FACTS:
These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible. The discovery a few years ago that inflammation in the artery wall is the real cause of heart disease is slowly leading to a paradigm shift in how heart disease and other chronic ailments will be treated.
The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes, the consequences of which dwarf any historical plague in terms of mortality, human suffering and dire economic consequences.
Despite the fact that 25% of the population takes expensive statin medications and despite the fact we have reduced the fat content of our diets, more Americans will die this year of heart disease than ever before.

Harvard Medical School in Ethics Quandary
BOSTON — In a first-year pharmacology class at Harvard Medical School, Matt Zerden grew wary as the professor promoted the benefits of cholesterol drugs and seemed to belittle a student who asked about side effects.Mr. Zerden later discovered something by searching online that he began sharing with his classmates. The professor was not only a full-time member of the Harvard Medical faculty, but a paid consultant to 10 drug companies, including five makers of cholesterol treatments.
What I've never understood is why no one picks up on the fact that when they do autopsies of people who died from strokes or heart problems, they always have LOW cholesterol, not high.
My medicine insurance pays for all of it. (Sorry Scott : (
