Are You Aware of These
Side Effects From Lipitor?

If you are plagued by brain fog, and wonder if you are getting early Alzheimers disease, you should know about the side effects from Lipitor, Crestor, Vytorin and other statin drugs that the pharmaceutical companies would like to keep a secret.

The following article was recently received from Dr. Al Sears newsletter. Dr. Al is recognized one of the most highly regarded medical doctors in America.

A new study has just found a brain robber that over ten million people in the USA are exposed to every day.¹ If you’re one of them I think you should stop.

Today, I’ll tell you about some of the newfound dangers of these unsafe statin drugs, and give you healthy alternatives for your brain and heart.

Statin cholesterol-lowering drugs are Big Pharma’s biggest windfall for past several years running. Twelve million Americans are now taking Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Vytorin and generic statin drugs at the constant urging and heavy pressure of a misinformed mainstream medical establishment.

But I find that if I track the big bucks in medicine, I often find secrets, distortions or even outright deceit that the people making the money would prefer that you didn’t know.

Case in point - An important study out of U.C. San Diego has gathered conclusive evidence of statins’ profoundly destructive impact on the brain and could be causing you serious memory problems. They also found links of  Lipitor and muscle pain.

It turns out they can provoke brain fog symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s Disease.1

In fact, some of the San Diego study's subjects reported memory loss to the point where they couldn’t recognize people they’d known for decades.

Others found that side effects from Lipitor, Crestor, Vytorin and other statin drugs had stripped them of their ability to concentrate, work, think clearly or even talk.

In most cases, their mental powers returned once they went off the drugs. But for some, the damage was lasting.

The fact is, after muscle pain and weakness, brain fog and short term memory loss are the most common side effect of statin drugs. But most people don’t know this. I’ve never heard of a single case of a doctor warning a patient of this potential when they discuss the decision to begin the drug.

From a medical point of view, it’s not at all surprising that they cause brain fog and other disorders. Cholesterol is crucial to brain function and memory.

It protects nerve cells and literally speeds up your brain’s operation in all areas, including your thought processes, recall, and speech. It’s also the building block for synapses, the areas between nerve cells that transmit messages.

Statin Drugs sap your body of an important building block with cholesterol. For some folks, the loss is so great that their bodies – and minds – begin to break down.

Still skeptical? An ongoing heart study in Framingham, Massachusetts demonstrated definitively that older folks with low cholesterol levels actually have lower brain function and more brain fog than those with higher levels!²

Older people with low total cholesterol (under 200) were much more likely to perform poorly on tests of brain function than those with high cholesterol (over 240).

For many years now, we’ve known that very low cholesterol levels are linked to increased risk of stroke, suicide and violent behavior. New research has even found a link between low cholesterol levels and increased risk of death from cancer.³ Not to mention muscle weakness, fatigue, and low sex drive...

Now we’re learning that low cholesterol has a brain fog, stupefying effect as well.

Bottom line: far from being the Enemy that modern medicine claims, cholesterol is really an essential nutrient. Modern medicine’s obsession with it is misguided.

As I tell my patients almost every day, don’t try to lower cholesterol; it’s your HDL or "good" cholesterol level that you should focus on.

As long as your HDL count’s high – say, around 75 to 80 – you are not at any higher risk of heart disease if your cholesterol is 350.

So how can you boost your HDL? One, exercise weight loss and two eat naturally occurring fats.

Get your fat from free-range or grass-fed animals, eggs, nuts, and unprocessed vegetable oils. These are some of the healthiest foods you can eat. (As with all foods, look for organic or minimally processed options whenever possible.)

I'm Gene Millen, and I'm here to be your advisor, help you avoid the pitfalls and false starts that I have made, and guide you to the cure for heart disease.

Dr. Al Sears says, "Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) works wonders for the heart."

Dr. Sears, MD is a board-certified physician with over 20 years experience transforming the lives of over 20,000 patients in 23 countries.

Dr. Sears is the author of over 6 books and 500 articles published in the fields of alternative medicine, anti-aging and nutritional supplementation. Following are his comments:

"Many people are suffering from the lack of one single nutrient: Coenzyme Q10.

"It might shock you to find out that government health advisors don't even consider it "essential", yet it's impossible to live without Coenzyme Q10 and the benefits it provides.

"If you don't have enough of it, you leave yourself open to muscle weakness, seizures, heart failure and cancer. In fact, CoQ10 is the primary source of energy for the immune cells that get suppressed by cancer.

"CoQ10 also works wonders to energize the heart, reduce oxidized fat in blood vessels, and destroy free radicals lurking in the heart.

"And did you know that the majority of people with heart disease are deficient in CoQ10?

And The best thing is that a new study confirms that this vitality booster can actually double your energy!

The old "tried and true" natural remedies are often more effective than the man-made concoctions brewed up in the chemist's laboratories...and they don't have the side effects caused by most prescription drugs.
