Heart bypass survivor discovers the secret of lowering cholesterol without drugs
Dear
Friend,
If
your doctor has told you that your cholesterol is too high this may be
one of the most important letters you will ever read.
I'm
going to tell you about policosanol, an all natural product derived from sugar cane
that has been shown to be more effective in lowering cholesterol than the "statin"
drugs at a fraction of the cost...and without the side effects such as
liver dysfunction and muscle atrophy.
Now
I know this may sound too good to be true and that you may be skeptical. I certainly was when I first heard
about this amazing product. My
name is Gene Millen and for the last 10 years my wife Bernie and I have
owned and operated the Vital Life
Center, a health and
wellness center for the "over 40 crowd." Our exercise
and wellness program has been rated #1 in California 4 years in a
row.

Benefits
of Policosanol
- Lowers harmful LDL cholesterol levels
that clog up your arteries.
- Increases protective HDL cholesterol
levels. HDL-cholesterol removes plaque from arterial walls.
-
Lowers Lp(a) cholesterol. Many researchers say this is the
"baddest" form of cholesterol.
- Reduces platelet
aggregation (stickiness) which lowers risk of arterial blood clots.
- Improves intermittent claudication (pain in the leg muscles due to
inadequate blood supply).
- Reduces
the amount of cholesterol in the liver, heart and fatty tissue.
- Policosanol may prevent and reverse atherosclerotic lesions and
thrombosis (clotting).
- Policosanol also inhibits
the oxidation of dangerous LDL-cholesterol which promotes the
destruction of blood vessels by creating a chronic inflammatory
response.
- Policosanol has also been used to enhance sports performance and libido.
-
Policosanol's cholesterol-lowering effects continue and do not
lose their effect over time.
A recent randomized, double-blind
study of 437 patients showed that participants who took Policosanol once a day with
the evening meal for 24 weeks lowered their LDL cholesterol from 18%
to 25%.
The Policosanol group also increased
their HDL cholesterol from 15% to 28%. High levels of
HDL-cholesterol may be the most important factor in protecting against
cholesterol-induced arterial disease. It is the HDL molecule that
removes plaque from arterial walls. Scientific studies show that people
with the highest levels of HDL cholesterol have the greatest longevity.

Research shows that Policosanol may produce cholesterol-lowering
effects within the first six to eight weeks of use. A daily dose of 10
mg of Policosanol in the evening produced lowered LDL cholesterol levels
by 20 to 25 percent within six months. At 20 mg daily, LDL levels
dropped by 25 to 30 percent. HDL levels increased by 15 to 25 percent
after only two months.
“Owing
to the significant expense of statin therapy, as well as to the
potential for dangerous side effects that mandates regular physician
follow-up…a comparable regimen, in which policosanol is used in
place of statins, may represent a practical strategy.
Nearly
everyone using policosanol and willing to commit to health-protective
eating can either prevent coronary disease, or prevent pre-existing coronary
disease from progressing to a life-threatening event.”
Mark. F. McCarty, Medical Research Journalist
Policosanol is the most
thoroughly researched natural
cholesterol-lowering agent.
Over 30,000 patients have been
involved in clinical trials and more than 20 double blind clinical trials
have been completed. Policosanol has compared favorably to several
cholesterol drugs in direct head to head trials. See partial list of
research below.
Policosanol is exceptionally
safe
Numerous clinical trails show that elderly
persons, diabetic and those with liver damage can safely take
Policosanol. Currently, studies show that Policosanol does not affect
blood thinning and there is no interaction between Policosanol and
blood-thinning medication such as warfarin. Policosanol is not
recommended for pregnant and lactating women.
Dosage
Since cholesterol synthesis increases at night, the recommended
starting dose is 10 mg of Policosanol after/or with the evening meal. If
the response is not adequate after two months, the dose can be doubled
to 20 mg.
Caution:
Lesstanol™ Policosanol
is extremely effective and should only be taken by people who have high serum
cholesterol levels. It is a good idea to have your cholesterol checked
after 8 weeks of use and reduce your dosage of Lesstanol™
Policosanol if it
causes your cholesterol to drop below 150 mg/dL.
Some
people who do not adequately suppress cholesterol with drug therapy may
choose to add
Lesstanol™ Policosanol to achieve better cholesterol control.
Pregnant or nursing women should not take this product without
consulting with a healthcare professional.
Policosanol Research (Partial list)
- American
Heart Association notes significance of Policosanol
- Am Heart Journal, 2002 Feb;143(2):356-65
- "At doses
of 10 to 20 mg per day, Policosanol lowers total cholesterol by 17%
to 21% and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol by 21% to 29% and raises high-density lipoprotein
cholesterol by 8% to 15%"
- Policosanol
more effective than statin drugs. New
Hope Natural Media, 6/6/02 -
"In a six-month study,
10 mg per day of Policosanol reduced total cholesterol by 16% and
LDL
cholesterol by
24%, and increased
HDL cholesterol by 29%. Several other studies have compared Policosanol
with some of the conventional medications used for lowering
cholesterol and the results have shown Policosanol in the amount
of 5 to 20 mg per day to be more effective than
Lovastatin (Mevacor®), pravastatin (Pravachol®), and Simvastatin
(Zocor®), with fewer reported side effects. While some
prescription drugs used to lower cholesterol may cause liver and
muscle problems in rare instances, people taking Policosanol have
not suffered any serious side effects"
- Policosanol
study of menopausal women. In another
recent study, the effects of Policosanol were measured on menopausal
women in a randomized, double-blind, multicenter placebo-controlled
trial. These women showed elevated total and LDL cholesterol despite
a six-week standard lipid-lowering diet. Eligible patients were
randomized to receive placebo or policosanol 5 mg/day for eight
weeks and the dose was doubled to 10 mg/day during the next eight
weeks. Policosanol (5 and 10 mg/day) significantly
decreased LDL-cholesterol (17.3% and 26.7%, respectively) and total
cholesterol (12.9% and 19.5%). HDL-cholesterol levels were
raised by 7.4% at study completion. No drug-related adverse
effects were observed.
- Study Links Statins to
Risk of Nerve Damage. Doctor's Guide, 5/13/02 - "Compared
to a "control" group of people who did not have neuropathy,
people who had taken statins were 4 to 14 times more likely to develop polyneuropathy that did
not have a known cause ... Any side effects of the drugs must be
weighed against this "very substantial benefit," ... the
study shows that polyneuropathy occurs in 1 out of every 2,200
patients who take statins"
- Nutrition Science News,
11/01 -"Policosanol
is similar in function and potency to some statin
drugs ... After using 10 mg/day Policosanol for two years, study
participants tripled their treadmill walking distance. The
placebo group experienced insignificant change"
- Effects
of policosanol in older patients with type II hypercholesterolemia
and high coronary risk - In still
another new study published in the Journal of Gerontology and
Biological Science-Medical Science, the effects of policosanol in
older patients with high cholesterol and more than one other
atherosclerotic risk factor was investigated. After six weeks on a
lipid-lowering diet, patients randomly received a placebo or
policosanol.
- Policosanol (5 and 10 mg/day) significantly
reduced LDL-cholesterol (16.9% and 24.4%, respectively) and
total cholesterol (12.8% and 16.2%, respectively), while
significantly increasing HDL-cholesterol by 14.6% and 29.1%,
respectively. Triglyceride levels remained un-changed. Policosanol,
but not the placebo, significantly improved cardiovascular capacity,
which was assessed using the Specific Activity Scale. No serious
adverse experiences occurred in the policosanol patients. The
conclusions of this study were that policosanol is effective, safe
and well tolerated in older patients with high cholesterol.

Cramps - A long-term study of Policosanol in the treatment of intermittent
claudication
Angiology 2001
Feb;52(2):115-125 - "After
6 months of therapy, Policosanol significantly increased (p <
0.01) the initial claudication distance from 125.9 +/- 8.7 m to
201.1 +/- 24.8 m and the absolute claudication distance from 219.5
+/- 14.1 m to 380.7 +/- 50.2 m. These effects did not wear off but
improved after long-term therapy,
