Lipitor Side Effects
Are Far
From Rare
Lipitor side effects include
muscle pain, chronic fatigue, loss
of memory and liver and kidney
dysfunction...just to mention a
few.
And not one study has
shown that Lipitor (atorvastatin) does anything to lengthen a person's lifespan!
Newsmax Health recently
reported the following study results:
"According to recent
research, the benefits of statin drugs are highly
overrated, and the 13 million Americans using them may
get little, if any, benefit.
Although statins can be life-saving for those who have
high cholesterol and have already had heart attacks,
recent studies show no
reduction in deaths for people over the age of 65 —
regardless of how much the drug lowered their
cholesterol — and no benefit at all for women of any
age!"
University of California San Diego
Study.
The following study was put
together by a group of
scientists,
doctors and students at the
University of California San Diego
School of Medicine. It pulls no
punches in analyzing Lipitor side
effects and
those of other statin drugs.
Muscle symptoms are
common Lipitor side effects, but occasionally
something called “myopathy”
occurs, involving actual damage to
muscle tissue, which can be very
serious. For this reason, if you
develop new muscle pain, weakness,
or tenderness on the drugs you
should inform your doctor
immediately.
Memory
and Concentration.
Some people report changes in
memory, attention, or
concentration on statin
drugs. They may
have trouble finding the right
word; may forget tasks they
started to do; and may have
trouble following conversations.
Some describe "holes in
their memory" and others worry
that they are developing
Alzheimer's.
Depression and Irritability.
Many
people report depression and
changes in mood as Lipitor side
effects. Some also experience loss of interest in
activities and and become less
involved in social affairs.
Higher
rates of death from suicide and
accidents.
A number of studies have
shown that those on drugs to lower
cholesterol have an increase in accidents
that could be
the result of reduced
concentration.
Low serotonin
has been reported as another of
the Lipitor side effects. Cholesterol medications can lower
activity of the brain chemical
serotonin. Low serotonin activity
is known to relate to suicide and
depression in people.
Some people
report that when they are on
statins they are more irritable
and impatient.
Headaches, Joint and Abdominal
Pain.
Although muscle pain is a
well-recognized side effect of
these drugs other pain effects have
been reported by many people on
statins.
Other
Lipitor Side Effects Include Peripheral Neuropathy.
A recent
study has confirmed that
peripheral neuropathy (tingling
and numbness or burning pain) may
occur with statins. This can be
especially troubling for diabetics because of their reduced muscle
sensitivity.
Sleep
problems, sexual function
problems, fatigue, dizziness and a
sense of detachment are
also reported Lipitor side
effects.
The INTERHEART study,
which was recently
published in the
prestigious Lancet Medical
Journal, describes
the
primary risk factors that
lead to a heart attack or
stroke.
And guess what?
High
LDL cholesterol is not in
the top three!
 I'm
Gene Millen. About seventeen years ago a highly skilled heart surgeon, sawed open my
chest and stitched in bypasses to six of my favorite heart arteries.
Six heart bypasses isn't’ a
record but it’s not bad for a skinny 59-year-old non-smoker
with normal cholesterol and blood pressure and no family history of
heart disease.
Since my heart bypass operation in
1990, my passion has been to learn
exactly what
causes heart attacks and strokes and how we can avoid
them!
I've spent hundreds of hours sifting
through clinical research for the latest information you (and I) need to
know to keep our hearts as strong and vital as our Creator designed them
to be.
Are you confused by conflicting claims and media hype about heart disease? Who
wouldn't be? National author and fitness consultant, James Rippee says it
better than I could.
“We have too much
knowledge, too much media exposure to ‘breakthroughs and
controversies’. What we need is more
common sense!"
Fortunately there is one voice of reason crying in the
wilderness of main stream gobbledygook...Dr. Al Sears.
I discovered Dr. Sears about two years ago
and have been increasingly impressed with his knowledge and
his natural approach.
Dr. Sears has a very successful medical practice in Florida
and a remarkable track record. He has produced results for
thousands of people from around the world.
I've learned an amazing amount of information
from Dr. Al and recommend that you take a look at his book,
The Doctor's Heart Cure. Just

you can dramatically reduce your risks of having a heart
attack or stroke.
