Prescription Drug Hoax Exposed

In a very recent article I read, authored by a medical doctor, obviously one who has separated paths with mainstream medicine, I was practically floored by his expose on the duplicity of a "prescription drug" hoax perpetrated by Big Pharma and its cohorts on suffering heart patients.

If you, or any of your loved ones, has coronory artery disease and high cholesterol, you should read this as it concerns you, and can save you from unnecessary medical bills.


The prescription drug being referred to in the article is Niaspan, one of the top 50 best-selling drugs in America alone. If you're one of those suffering now from the number one killer disease in the country today, chances are you are on, or had been on, Niaspan medication.

The author reveals that Niaspan is not really a drug at all. It is simply niacin, better known as vitamin B3, in time-released form. Niacin works wonderfully in raising HDL [good cholesterol], and lowering LDL [bad cholesterol] and triglycerides, the reasons why Big Pharma probably decided to reinvent the vitamin into a "prescription drug" and jump into the big market.

The mystery here is that Big Pharma is allowed carta blanche to claim all the aforementioned benefits, while vitamin and supplement makers face closure by the FDA for making similar claims. Huh?.... Something must be going on behind the curtains.

Niacin causes a tingling, itchy sensation, and "flushing" or redness, but it only last for 15 minutes or so and completely disappear once the body gets accustomed to it. This is the reason why Niaspan was made in time-released form, to avoid the minor discomforts. However, according to the Linus Pauling Institute and some reports, it may have more toxic effects on the liver than the immediate-release form.

To summarize, Niaspan and niacin are one and the same. The benefits you get with Niaspan, you also naturally get with niacin [vitamin B3]. A doctor's prescription required to obtain Niaspan does not necessarily  make it any better than niacin. And neither does its $139 price for a 30-day supply compared to $7 or so for niacin. That's a 1887% price difference for the same banana. What a creative, but sleazy way, to fleece money from an unsuspecting populace! [Search Amazon.com for Niacin Vit B3]
