Beta Blocker Side Effects

Beta Blocker side effects can increase risk of heart attacks, strokes and diabetes!

Up to 2 million Britons could soon be "easing off" of their beta blockers. And for some very good reasons.

U.K.'s National Institute For Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) researchers have recently reported that Atenolol, the most frequently used beta blocker, increased the risk of heart attack, stroke and type 2 diabetes. The new guidelines advise patients to ease off the drugs and switch to other "therapies."

Of course the news release was couched in terms much more acceptable to the pharmaceutical companies. Call me cynical if you like but Atenolol is the fourth most prescribed drug in the US, with more than 44 million prescriptions written per year. The announcement stated,

"The decision not to recommend beta-blockers for first-line therapy was based on evidence that suggested they performed less well than other drugs - particularly in the elderly."

That's like saying that people who have heart attacks are less well than those who don't.

During the past several years several doctors have recommended that I include a beta blocker in my "preventive medicine" regimen. I have respectfully declined their well meaning advice.

In most people beta blockers slow down the heart rate...which makes it more difficult for them to improve their physical fitness and to lose weight.

I'm in some very good company in believing that the beta blocker side effects are worse than the disease.

In a recent interview with WebMD's HeartWire, Dr. Norman Kaplan, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas voiced his concerns about beta blockers.

"Beta blockers slow you down, but we want to make our hypertensive patients more active. In addition, they have a whole panoply of adverse metabolic effects—lowering HDL (cholesterol) and insulin sensitivity."

Note: HDL cholesterol is protective against heart disease. HDL's protect you like a guardian angel by removing plaque that has been accumulating in the arteries of your heart and brain. People with the highest live the longest.

And lowering your sensitivity to insulin is the first step down the path to devastating type 2 diabetes.

The Texas Heart Institute Compilation Of
Beta Blocker Side Effects

Drowsiness or fatigue.
Cold hands and feet.
Weakness or dizziness.
Dry mouth, eyes, and skin.
Wheezing, trouble breathing, or shortness of breath.
Swelling of the hands and feet.
Depression.
Memory loss, confusion, or hallucinations.

Beta-blockers may make your allergic reactions worse.

They also provide a list of "cautions" to consider before beginning beta blockers.

You have heart disease or poor circulation to your hands or feet.
You have a slow heart rate or heart block.
You have asthma, hay fever symptoms, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema.
You have diabetes or hypoglycemia. Beta-blockers may hide the symptoms of low blood sugar.
You have kidney or liver disease.

Dr. Franz Messerli, St Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital, New York, describes the new British guidelines as "dawn breaking in the UK," and he is urging the US to follow suit.

Dr. Messerli pulls no punchers when he relates his experience with beta blockers.

"In the US, millions of patients are still exposed to the cost, inconvenience, and beta blocker side effects without harvesting any benefits.

Beta blockers as a class have never been shown to reduce heart attacks or strokes in hypertension. This is particularly true for Atenolol, the most common beta blocker."

Health experts remind us that it is dangerous to stop beta blockers "cold turkey". You need to consult with your health care practioner on this.

I'm Gene Millen. In 1990 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.

Does Your CoQ10 Really Work?

Dr. Sears says, "If You’re Taking the Wrong Kind You May Be Wasting Your Money!"

"The many health benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10 are already well established… Yet many patients I talk to in my practice tell me they don’t feel any different after they start taking CoQ10.

"When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why.

"As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking never makes it to their cells where it can do the most good.

"In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion’s share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme disappears – making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need.

"Fortunately, I’ve found a simple way to solve this problem forever …
