Statins drugs have been being prescribed for many decades, yet the rate of heart disease continues to climb. One would argue that if we look at the empirical evidence that lowering cholesterol with statins does not work to reduce heart disease risk. Add to this the fact that this class of medicine has been shown to block CoQ10, vitamin D, disrupt testosterone and other sex steroids, contributing to the possibility of muscle loss, weight gain, blood sugar problems, exercise avoidance, and an actual increase in the risk of heart disease.

FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) Statin Review.There's been increasing awareness and concern about adverse effects of statin drugs. However, the evidence for this is limited, contradictory and highly debated.

A single serving of Brazil nuts may bring cholesterol levels down faster than statin drugs and keep them down even a month after that single ingestion.

Stories About Getting Off Statin Drugs

http://www.amazon.com/Statin-Drugs-Really-Lower-Cholesterol/dp/0615618170/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334417773&sr=8-1 and http://StatinInjuryVictims.blogspot.com/ "How Statin Drugs Really Lower Cholesterol (and Kill You One Cell at a Time)": The Yosephs have written the most stunning exposé. In simple language they reveal the science, the corruption and the enormous conspiracy it took to bring statins to market. As fast paced as a Mickey Spillane novel they report the research, the fraud and the facts like a detective in hot pursuit of a Nazi war criminal. Once picked up it cannot be put down until the reading is done. It is riveting. They have accomplished the impossible: they have made both complex science and medical history fascinating to read. What could not be done in an exposé they accomplished with almost unbelievable ease. It will change your paradigms about medicine forever. Read it! Statins: Advicor (niacin extended-release/lovastatin) Altoprev (lovastatin extended release) Caduet (amlodipine and atorvastatin) Crestor (rosuvastatin) Juvisyne (sitagliptin/simvastatin) Lescol (fluvastatin) Lescol XL (fluvastatin extended-release) Lipitor (atorvastatin) Livalo (pitavastatin) Mevacor (lovastatin) Pravachol (pravastatin) Simcor (niacin extended-release/simvastatin) Vytorin (ezetimibe/simvastatin) Zocor (simvastatin)

The diminished bioavailability of intracellular CoQ10 and dolichols associated with the use of statins has the potential to seriously increase oxidative damage and DNA mutations.

A recent international study published in the highest ranking cardiovascular journal in the world confirms what we’ve been saying at GreenMedInfo for over a decade: LDL cholesterol is not an accurate predictor of future cardiovascular events and statin drugs are useless at best, toxic to the heart at worst.

The battle against cholesterol has been largely fruitless… And even more disturbing are the side effects linked to cholesterol lowering medicines. I have personally seen people develop nerve damage, muscle damage, autoimmune problems, and dementia because of these medicines. Mainstream medicine has been aggressively lowering cholesterol for more than 40 years, yet heart disease continues [...]

Fred Kummerow is an emeritus professor of comparative biosciences at the University of Illinois, and at 99 years of age, he is still conducting and publishing research. For over 60 years Professor Kummerow has warned about the dangers of trans fats, even suing the FDA for not removing the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status on them years after most other countries had banned them. Professor Kummerow has also battled against the standard thinking regarding cholesterol, stating that dietary cholesterol is good for your heart and that there are other factors that contribute to heart disease. In a paper published in 2013 in the American Journal of Cardiovascular Disease, he explained once again that oxidized lipids (and oxidized cholesterol), as is found in overheated polyunsaturated oils like corn and soy, are leading contributing factors to heart disease. In 2014, Professor Kummerow was still going strong at age 99, and has just published a new paper showing that LDL cholesterol is simply a marker for an amino acid deficiency and not the cause of heart disease at all.

New Article Explains Why LDL Cholesterol Does Not Cause Coronary Artery Disease

Click here to subscribe - https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/wxrn Lowering Cholesterol Is Dangerous - Beware of These Side Effects Lowering bad cholesterol does not reduce the risk for the development on heart disease and stroke. Often times referred to as the cholesterol myth, it's time to re-evaluate our health policies on this issue. Cholesterol reduction can actually contribute to lowering bile acids, vitamin D, CoQ10, and sex steroids like testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. By blocking these important nutrients and hormones, you can actually increase your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, dementia (Alzheimer's), muscle pain, fatigue, low hormones, poor digestion. If you are looking to lower LDL, new evidence shows that a low carb diet or keto diet can help lower LDL naturally.

Statin Drugs Reduce Mortality After Cardiac Surgery. Would Botanicals Work Better?

Mevalonate blockade of varying degrees is inevitable when statins are used. Every cell in our bodies is affected by reductase inhibition, those cells having greater need of energy such as muscle and heart cells, kidney and liver will be affected most.

In this video, Dr. Osborne discusses - The Cholesterol Metabolism Secret No One is Talking About. Cholesterol is an extremely important molecule in your body, and understanding cholesterol metabolism is important to prevent hormonal imbalance and nutritional deficiency. No one ever stops to think or ask the question - Is Cholesterol Healthy? Cholesterol is a precursor that helps your body make sex steroid hormones. In doing so, cholesterol is a central compound that is vital hormonal balance. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all rely on cholesterol to be balanced. Cholesterol is required to produce brain synapses - thus allowing brain cells to communicate with each other. The side effects of lowering cholesterol over time can include reduced CoQ10, vitamin D, vitamin K, estrogen, testosterone, progesterone. Additionally, cholesterol is necessary to form bile acids. Bile acids are needed for detox and fat absorption. One could argue that lowering cholesterol would interfere with a natural balance of hormones in the body. Whether you are male or female, If you want to balance your hormones naturally, you need cholesterol. That being said... If you are taking medicine to lower your cholesterol, start by having a conversation with your doctor, because if your levels are too low, it might be the reason for your hormonal imbalance.

If you have high cholesterol levels you should take a statin right? That is the mantra promoted by conventional medicine. In fact, statins have become the most profitable class of medications sold by The Big Pharma Cartel. I have seen countless patients who have been told by their doctor that if they don’t take a statin drug they are putting themselves in line for heart attack. However, that is not what the research has found. A recent (2013) study found that high cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels in subjects over 50 years was associated with lowered all-cause mortality. The Cochrane Collaboration, an independent group that is not associated with Big Pharma money stated, “Statins do not have a proven net health benefit in primary prevention populations and thus when used in that setting do not represent good use of scarce health care resources.”
