More Nonsense — Scientists Now Have Heart Attack Prevention Vaccine

Scientists claim to have produced an antibody that reduces the scarring produced in the heart and brain following a heart attack by more than 60 percent. This scarring can cause as much as 80 percent of the permanent damage caused by a heart attack or stroke. The research has been tested on animals, and human trials are expected to begin within two years.

According to the Telegraph:

“… [T]he treatment could have even more of an effect than statins, the cholesterol lowering drugs … Most deaths from heart disease are caused by a heart attack.”

Of course, if you know anything about statins, calling a treatment “more effective than statins” is not much of an advertisement. If you really want to stave off the damage caused by heart disease, rather than having yourself injected with a chemical, try optimizing your blood vitamin D level.
