Statins: Get Out Of This Toxic Hell

Lipitor is a very popular statin.Great business too

. Just in 2006 it made over 13.6 billions in profit. As all statins it blocks key enzymes in the liver responsible for cholesterol synthesis. The liver has to compensate by taking in cholesterol from the blood and in this way the blood cholesterol levels gradually fall.

All statins are associated with severe side effects. Especially Lipitor is very famous due to the cases of patients losing their memory after a short time on the drug. The most famous one is the case of Duan Graveline, a NASA astronaut who lost his memory only after 6 weeks on Lipitor. This man wrote a book Lipitor, thief of memory which is an excellent introduction to the world of statins by someone who has been there already and paid the price. The list of side effects is amazingly long. The most common are severe myopathy (called rhabdomyolysis)leading to muscle pain, gradual kidney and liver failure, impaired cognitive functions and many more. The list is quite long really.

But are there any alternatives? Natural, safe and most important efficient therapies are available. Vitamin therapy is easy to find and affordable for everybody. The problem is that vitamins are natural substances so no pharmaceutical company can patent them and make serious profits from them. This is why they are ignored and kept secret from public so that the heavily promoted statins can keep on selling like crazy. Statins are a multibillion dollar business; they are massively profitable drugs coming second to antidepressants only. Soon they will be prescribed not only for lowering elevated cholesterol but also to prevent high cholesterol levels in specific risk groups. These drugs are marketed in a mostly aggressive way, convincing doctors to prescribe them for basically most aspects of cardiovascular protection. There is just no room or reason to consider other options. Doctors conveniently pretend that the side effects are part of the game and that the benefits worth it.

Back to the alternatives now. It is true that there are so many research projects now that present a different angle for atherosclerosis. They prove every time that this disease can be massively restored and prevented by the use of simple vitamins to which most of us are deficient as a result of our modern lifestyle and diet. This is a model that explains many points that conventional theory for atherosclerosis just cant and suggests a targeted, natural and safe therapy even for people with advanced atheromatic plaques. Experiments and extensive research since 1968 clearly point towards this direction; mainstream science and pharma companies discount and arrogantly ignore healthier and safer options thus preventing them to be integrated into medical practice. Dont let profit to drive your quality of life. Its up to everyone of us to seek knowledge and go beyond the statins myth.
