STATIN
DRUGS
Dr.
Forrest Smith shared that it is well known that statin medications, used by
some 30 million Americans, are detrimental to muscles and zap energy. Worse
than that, they also increase your risk for cancer and memory problems. So why
are they still being prescribed and why are Americans still duped into taking
them? Statin drugs are effective in lowering cholesterol but is doing more harm
than good?
What
is hypercholesterol anyway and is it responsible for heart attacks? Hypercholesterolemia is the health issue of
the 21st century. It is actually an invented
disease,
a "problem" that emerged when health professionals learned how to
measure
cholesterol
levels in the blood. High cholesterol exhibits no outward signs--unlike other
conditions
of the blood, such as diabetes or anemia, diseases that manifest telltale
symptoms
like thirst or weakness--hypercholesterolemia requires the services of a
physician to detect its presence. Many people who feel perfectly healthy suffer
from high cholesterol-- in fact, feeling good is actually a symptom of high
cholesterol!
Doctors
who treat this new disease must first convince their patients that they are
sick and need to take one or more expensive drugs for the rest of their lives,
drugs that require regular checkups and blood tests. The best predictors of a future heart attack
come from prospective studies that follow healthy people for a number of years
to determine which ones go on to develop heart disease, and then to figure out
why. Because these are expensive trials, very few of them are done. But those
that exist have indicated that cholesterol levels are, in fact, a very poor
predictor of future heart attacks.
A
heart attack is the death of muscle cells in the heart from a lack of oxygen.
This occurs when blood flow can’t reach the heart because of a blockage or clot
in the arteries caused by a clumping of blood platelets, or because of
inflammation that causes an unstable plaque to break off and block the blood
flow in the artery. Sometimes a spasm in the artery blocks the flow to the
heart, or the heart goes into electrical chaos and simply stops its synchronized
beating on its own. Heart attacks involve one or more of 4 key components:
1.
Clot formation
2.
Plaque instability
3.
Vasospasm
4.
Electrical chaos (sudden death)
None
of these four causes of heart attacks has much to do with increased cholesterol
levels.
HOLISTIC CARE
The
key for us all to remember is that our bodies have healing powers by using
natural holistic modalities which include: clear water, healthy foods, pure
sunlight, plenty of rest and regular exercise/movement.
Not
all grocery stores are created equal.
Each has products they are paid more to display. The “natural” grocers do the same! Again, read labels, be a smart consumer, user
and self advocate! I recommend:
REMEMBER:
ALL human beings are able to support the body’s
intelligence and our own healing powers by using the natural elements: fresh
air, pure sunlight, clear water, health foods, rest, and movement.
