10 As far as I know... 10
11 These benefits are VASTLY SUPERIOR to any study done with the cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins. 11
12 Hi, this is Larry FatNews.com 12
13 This according to a study done in China... 13
14 in people who were years-old... 14
15 who had already had a heart attack. 15
16 735 were given the Red Yeast Rice extract. 16
17 And 710 were given a placebo. 17
18 This extract, Xuezhikang, contains: High amounts of lovastatin Unsaturated fatty acids Essential amino acids And other trace minerals 18
19 Lovastatin is the same chemical that is found in the cholesterollowering drug Mevacor. 19

DESIGN: Subgroup analysis of the China Coronary Secondary Prevention Study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial. SETTING: Sixty-six hospitals in China. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1,445 patients, aged 65 to 75, were chosen from 4,780 patients with a history of myocarto all causes was estimated to be 18, 33, and 23, respectively. In a like manner, the estimated NNT to prevent one coronary event, one coronary death, and one mortality due to all causes in younger patients was 23, 82, and 51, respectively. There was not a significantly greater number of adverse effects in the xuezhikang group than in the placebo group. CONCLUSION: This is the first study demonstrating that treatment with xuezhikang capsules is safe and effective for the secondary prevention of CHD in older Chinese people. 20

JULY 2007 VOL. 55, NO. 7 JAGS marked modulating effect on lipid levels with an excellent safety profile. 8,9 In the Chinese Ninth Five-year plan, the National Scientific and Technological Project supported the China Coronary Secondary Prevention Study (CCSPS), which was the first CHD secondary prevention trial in China involving xuezhikang, between May 1996 and May The data generated in the CCSPS pertaining to the prevention of CHD in elderly patients treated with xuezhikang were analyzed using subgroup analysis in an effort to ascertain whether the treatment effects in elderly patients differed from those in younger patients. The risk of adverse effects associated with the treatment with xuezhikang in elderly patients was also determined. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patient Population Between November 1, 1996, and December 31, 2000, patients were screened and enrolled from 66 hospitals in China. Eligible subjects were men and women aged 18 to 75 The primary study endpoint used to assess the treatment effects of xuezhikang was the total number of CHD events, including recurrent nonfatal MI, fatal MI, sudden death, and other coronary deaths. The secondary study endpoint was mortality due to all causes. Other events recorded and analyzed included cancer, stroke, and requirement for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures. Routine follow-up visits to monitor clinical events were scheduled in the clinics of the participating hospitals 6 to 8 weeks after randomization and then every 6 months until the final follow-up visits between January and May At each visit, data on treatment compliance, concomitant use of other medications, onset of clinical events, occurrence of adverse effects, and laboratory tests, including serum lipid levels (TC, TG, LDL-C, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)) and safety parameters (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, urea nitrogen, and creatinine levels) were collected. An electrocardiogram was obtained yearly. During the study, patients were asked to continue the study 31
32 baseline characteristics of the CCSPS have been described in Journal of the American Geriatric Society Vol 55 No. 7 July 2007 pp detail elsewhere. 10 The current study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial. Randomization was done according to the number allocated to each hospital by the study data center. Adherent individuals who did not have major clinical events or other serious medical conditions during the run-in were randomly allocated to receive a xuezhikang capsule, 0.6 g twice daily (Beijing WBL Peking University Biotech Co., Ltd., Beijing, China), or a matching placebo twice daily. Previous medical treatments for hypertension, CHD, or complications of CHD were continued, but all medications known to influence blood lipid levels were prohibited. St D 1 m to u h ri w re tr si 32

Baseline characteristics such as nationality, cardiac risk factors, concurrent medications, and lipid levels of the xuezhikang and placebo groups were similar, with the exception of the concomitant use of nitrates, which was greater in the placebo group than in the xuezhikang group (Table 1). The average follow-up period for subjects was 4 years (range years). Forty patients (1.6%) were lost to follow-up, of whom 14 were in the xuezhikang group and 26 the placebo group. Changes in Serum Lipid Levels Over an average of 4 years, xuezhikang therapy reduced average TC and LDL-C levels 12.1% and 17.7%, respectively, compared with a corresponding reduction of 2.4% Table 2.

36 Journal of the American Geriatric Society Vol 55 No. 7 July 2007 pp YE ET AL. JULY 2007 VOL. 55, NO. 7 JAGS The beneficial effect of xuezhikang on mortality was observed after 6 months of treatment and continued to increase during the follow-up period. Other clinical events that were monitored were cancer, stroke, and the need for PCI or CABG procedures. Fifty-one patients treated with xuezhikang and 94 treated with the placebo suffered from other clinical events; the risk was thus 47.6% less with xuezhikang (Po.001). Specifically, the incidence of stroke was 44.1% less (Po.05), the incidence of cancer was 51.4% less (Po.05), and the need for PCI or CABG procedures was 48.6% less (P4.05) with xuezhikang.
