The Medical mafia strikes again!

I read the article on Sott re the link between statins & Parkinson's disease in the morning and read the following in my local paper in the evening:

Study: Infant cholesterol test could help

By Marilynn Marchione The Associated Press • Thursday October 27, 2016 6:43 AM

What if a blood test could reveal that your child is at high risk for early heart disease years in the future, giving you a chance to prevent it now? A big study in England did that — screening thousands of babies for inherited risk — and found it was twice as common as has been thought.

The study also revealed parents who had the condition but didn’t know it, and had passed it on to their children. Ninety percent of them started taking preventive medicines after finding out.

Researchers say the two-generation benefits may convince more parents to agree to cholesterol testing for their kids. An expert panel in the United States recommends this test between the ages of 9 and 11, but many aren’t tested now unless they are obese or have other heart risk factors such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

For every 1,000 people screened in the study , four children and four parents were identified as being at risk for early heart disease. That’s nearly twice as many as most studies in the past have suggested.

“We really need to pay attention to this,” said Dr. Elaine Urbina, director of preventive cardiology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and a member of the U.S. expert panel. “ It’s reasonable to screen for something that’s common, dangerous and has a treatment that’s effective and safe.”

Dr. William Cooper, a pediatrics and preventive medicine professor at Vanderbilt University, called it “an innovative approach” that finds not just kids at risk but also parents while they’re still young enough to benefit from preventive treatment, such as cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.

Statins aren’t recommended until around age 10, but certain dietary supplements such as plant sterols and stanols could help younger kids, Urbina said.

“We’re not talking about putting all these kids on statins,” she said.

The study was led by Dr. David Wald at Queen Mary University of London. He and another author founded a company that makes a combination pill to prevent heart disease. The work was funded by the Medical Research Council, the British government’s health research agency.

Results were published Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine.

Researchers were testing for familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disorder that, untreated, raises the risk of a heart attack by age 40 tenfold.

They did a heel-stick blood test on 10,059 children ages 1 to 2 during routine immunization visits to check for high cholesterol and 48 gene mutations that can cause the disorder. If a child was found with the disorder, parents were tested.

One in 270 children had the gene mutations; others were identified through cholesterol levels alone.

“That’s a pretty common genetic defect,” said Dr. Stephen Daniels, chairman of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a member of the U.S. expert panel.

But many parents balk at the idea of testing children for a disorder associated with middle age, experts say.

Karen Teber, a media relations specialist in Madison, Wisconsin, was surprised when a doctor wanted to test her 12-year-old stepson. “My reluctance was really born out of lack of information,” she said. “I hadn’t heard of it before.”

The study did not address whether screening is cost-effective. In the U.S., cholesterol tests cost around $80 and usually are covered by health insurance, though much lower prices often are negotiated. The study authors in England estimated that if cholesterol testing costs $7 and gene testing costs $300, it would cost $2,900 for every person identified as having the disorder.

Sounds like a twofer - get the kiddies roped into the cholesterol bad/statin good myth as soon as possible to put them firmly on the path of serious health pathology while also reaping the big bucks from the initial identification along w/ the ongoing lifelong drug use for same condition along w/ all the others that will follow as a result. It's hard not to appreciate the obvious conflict of interest brought out by this article. Evil genius is really something to behold.

As far as I know, cholesterol is a reaction by the body to inflammation. So trying to get rid of the cholesterol in the body with statins would be like getting rid of fire trucks at a fire. They are there because of the fire, not there causing the fire. Cholesterol being a master hormone is essential to the body. Statins are a scam, and very dangerous at the same time.

I suspect, the Infant cholesterol test is another part of this scam - to keep the kids coming in - to line the doctor's bank accounts? If it were "truly" preventive medicine, the doctor's would be advising proper diets and eating habits, instead of chemical compounds.

How Much Money Do Pediatricians Really Make From Vaccines?
https://wellnessandequality.com/2016/06/20/how-much-money-do-pediatricians-really-make-from-vaccines/

Back dated June 20, 2016 - If you want to be sure your pediatrician has your child’s best interest, this is mandatory reading. Pediatricians around the country have begun refusing to accept families who opt out of some or all vaccines. Thanks to a tip sent to Wellness & Equality by a reader, now we know why.

When my friend’s child suffered a life-threatening reaction to a vaccine a week after her first birthday, my friend assumed her pediatrician would write her a medical exemption from future vaccines. Shortly after receiving a routine set of vaccines, the happy, vibrant one-year-old spiked a 106 degree fever, began having seizures, and was hospitalized. When the unexplained “illness” passed after a week in the hospital, the little girl had lost her ability to walk. My friend describes how her daughter, who had learned to walk several months earlier at 9 months, suddenly “stumbled around like a drunk person” for weeks following the vaccines. My friend met with a team of pediatricians, neurologists, and naturopathic doctors, and they agreed: Her daughter had suffered a brain injury caused by a reaction to one of the vaccines. Hoping the injury would be temporary and that she might recover and ease her brain inflammation if they could help her small body quickly eliminate the vaccine additives that caused the reaction, my friend’s daughter underwent an intensive detoxification program overseen by a nutritionalist. Slowly, her daughter relearned to walk.

My friend is a practicing attorney who graduated from a Top 10 college. The evidence was overwhelming that her daughter’s reaction had been caused by vaccines, she told me.

But a few months later, when she took her daughter back into the pediatrician for a visit, he wanted to vaccinate her daughter again. She was baffled. Why?

After a reader sent us a link to a PDF file of Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Physician Incentive Program available online, Wellness & Equality learned that insurance companies pay pediatricians massive bonuses based on the percentage of children who are fully vaccinated by age 2.

So how much money do doctors really make from vaccines? The average American pediatrician has 1546 patients, though some pediatricians see many more. The vast majority of those patients are very young, perhaps because children transition to a family physician or stop visiting the doctor at all as they grow up. As they table above explains, Blue Cross Blue Shield pays pediatricians $400 per fully vaccinated child. If your pediatrician has just 100 fully-vaccinated patients turning 2 this year, that’s $40,000.

Yes, Blue Cross Blue Shield pays your doctor a $40,000 bonus for fully vaccinating 100 patients under the age of 2. If your doctor manages to fully vaccinate 200 patients, that bonus jumps to $80,000.

But here’s the catch: Under Blue Cross Blue Shield’s rules, pediatricians lose the whole bonus unless at least 63% of patients are fully vaccinated, and that includes the flu vaccine. So it’s not just $400 on your child’s head–it could be the whole bonus. To your doctor, your decision to vaccinate your child might be worth $40,000, or much more, depending on the size of his or her practice.

If your pediatrician recommends that your child under the age of 2 receive the flu vaccine–even though the flu vaccine has never been studied in very young children and evidence suggests that the flu vaccine actually weakens a person’s immune system over the long term–ask yourself: Is my doctor more concerned with selling me vaccines to keep my child healthy or to send his child to private school?

Thnx angelburst29 for exposing the Blueshield Bluecross physician incentive plan to promote vaccination. The more that is exposed, the harder it is to stomach. I spent most of today catching up on open tabs of thread material or articles including the Doctor Tent Lecture - The Autoimmune Epidemic - Vaccine Distributed Viruses from 2014 started by Woodsman w/ incredible input on his part. I consider it a MUST READ and so very relevant to the critical health /vaccine issues we are being terrorized with by the Medical Mafia. This was such an eye-opening thread:

http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,35993.0.html

I saw earlier that a potential newbie in a mental institution was informed that participating in the forum wasn't possible/feasible which is quite understandable. However, when reading it, I just have to say that being continually exposed to all the surreal, beyond evil machinations that have played out in the past & present, makes me feel as if I am in a mental institution. Each passing day seems to include at least one bizarre or over-the-top incident that is beyond unbelievable and/or incredibly horrific. My empathy reserves are getting a workout and I have been diagnosed w/ adrenal fatigue (imagine that). A definite side effect of being a truth junkie, but it's who I am.

So, yes, these vaccinations are super bad, but the cholesterol/statin BS is significant, too. Guess they're losing the battle on eating fat so they switched to this tactic. The lies are so blatant it makes me want to slap people up side the head for being so gullible, but of course that's a no-no. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that the people I personally come into contact with don't know and don't want to know about any of these facts on this topic or any other. Just the way it is.

Whatever happened to the old swashbuckling "You pays your money and takes your chance" mindset?

(versus the obsession to control and manipulate everything for some mythical desired supposedly utilitarian outcome)

And another thing - my wife works in a medical laboratory. Tests, even reliable ones done by million dollar machines and proven techniques and veteran technicians, can give false readings and results.

Furthermore: any test is a snapshot in time dependent on so many variables and metabolic functions that are continually fluxing. e.g. a blood test done after you eat a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a pepsi while watching 4 hours of TV is going to be way different than one done a week later after 4 cups of coffee and some stressful or traumatic experience.
