Do You Take Statin Drugs?… They’re A Sweetheart To Die For!

Statin drugs are a sweetheart alright… a $25 billion a year industry
sweetheart that is! Not only are they the best-selling drug class out
there, but they provide an almost endless list of side effects that
assure the hapless taker a lifetime of expensive medical treatment.
Statins are a Big Pharma dream-come-true.

What you get with statin drugs

A review published in the American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs found
nearly 900 studies of adverse effects linked to statin drugs. A recent
Harvard study reveals a horrific 50 percent increase in the risk for
developing diabetes
if you are taking statin drugs.

They called it a
“small” risk increase. Researchers analyzing data on over 2 million
Brits found that statin drug users had higher levels of liver
dysfunction, kidney failure, cataracts and debilitating muscle weakness.

Despite the purported cardiovascular benefits, other adverse effects
include…

nausea,

diarrhea,

abdominal pain,

headaches,

rashes,

myopathy,

muscle aches or weakness,

tendon problems,

dementia,

depression,

chronic
fatigue,

heart disease,

hypertension,

stroke,

peripheral neuropathies
and

fatal rhabdomyolysis (breakdown in muscle).

What are the true benefits of statin drugs?

(stunning silence) *tumbleweed blows across the set*

Statin
drugs were brought in with fanfare and a hero’s parade because they
were purported to heal the nations of the evil causes of cardiovascular
disease.

However, a study analysis reported in the Journal of Negative Results in Biomedicine
last year concluded that even in spite of a huge rise in statin drug
use, the number of people having heart attacks simply has not gone down
at all – but rather has risen.

Did you know that 50 percent of all heart
attacks today are in people with normal cholesterol? Cholesterol is
only a marker and not even the cause of the problem here.

But wait, there’s more!

Statin
drugs block the production of important nutrients in your body,
including the essential enzyme CoQ10, which is critical to heart health
and muscle function. Depleted CoQ10 levels are common with statin drugs
and actually cause heart failure!

Statin drugs also ruin your
cholesterol based hormones. They cause thyroid dysfunction and a drop in
all sex hormones. Low testosterone levels lead to low energy,
sleepiness, irritability and depression.

Researchers found the direct
connection between statin drugs and low testosterone after studying data
on nearly 3,500 men who went to the doctor to complain about sex
problems.

Now there is even a cholesterol lowering drug for
people without cholesterol problems. Crestor has already been approved
for people who DON’T even have high cholesterol!

Causes and solutions

High
cholesterol is a warning to you to control inflammation. Inflammation
in the body generates C-reactive protein, which in turn causes the body
to respond with soothing, repairing, life-saving cholesterol.

C-reactive
protein is a measure of the body’s history of inflammation and a far better predictor of heart attacks than cholesterol levels.

Vitamin
C and fish oil are two natural supplements proven to reduce your
C-reactive proteins better than statin drugs ever will!

Tufts
University, Berkeley, Seattle’s University of Washington School of Medicine, Linus Pauling Institute
and others have beaten statin drug statistics with as little as 500 mg a
day of vitamin C.

Not only did the heart attack rate in the vitamin C
groups fall off the map but the statin drug users still had “heart
events”, fatal heart attacks, and the usual accompanying diabetes risk.

Peter H. Langsjoen, MD has said,

“We are now in a position to witness the unfolding of the greatest
medical tragedy of all time – never before in history has the medical
establishment knowingly created a life threatening nutrient deficiency
in millions of otherwise healthy people”.

Find a doc who can fix the cause of your “high cholesterol” and not just throw chemicals at it.
