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.
Lipitor
and other statin drugs can
rob you of
Co Q10 (coenzyme Q 10)!
In addition to statin
drugs, beta blockers and some antidepressants, also interfere with Coenzyme Q10.

a new Co Q10 that is
8 times more powerful than
conventional CoQ10.
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.
Another
heart
supplement
that you
need is
Resveratrol!
Among the many benefits of resveratrol is its ability to
turn on good genes and turn off those that destroy your
health!
Now you can play an active role in your own future by
turning on the genes that promote longevity – and turning
off the genes that tell your cells to die.
For the first time in medical history you decide which
genetic code gets played out.
How do you visualize your "golden years?" stuck in a nursing
home watching bad TV or living a high quality independent
life?
The difference may be as simple as switching on the genes
that keep you young and active…and turning off those that
accelerate poor health and aging.
New research uncovered a gene that increases lifespan
dramatically. Every living thing on earth carries this gene
– including you. And there’s a nutrient that actually “turns
it on.”
You can activate it with a simple nutrient. It’s called
resveratrol. Here are some of the benefits:
* Enables insulin to assist glucose uptake into cells
(normalizes blood sugar)
* Ramps up the good HDL cholesterol that actually reverses
heart disease.
Some of the bad genes that get “switched off” with
resveratrol are genes that:
* Boost production of potentially harmful LDL cholesterol
that can clog arteries when accompanied by inflammation and
oxidation.
* Override normal patterns regulating cell division (cuts
off your body’s ability to regulate healthy cell
production)
* Promote excess production of insulin and inflammation
(causing fat gain, swelling and joint pain)
* Allows the bad or cancerous cells to grow without limits…)
Resveratrol shifts your cells into high gear, stimulating
them to perform a variety of activities that promote health
and longevity.
Its heart health benefits are significant as it can reduce
many risk factors of heart disease. It also has the
remarkable capacity to halt cell “malfunctions” that can be
lethal, like tumor growth.
Resveratrol is found naturally in grapes, blueberries,
cranberries, and other plants also make it. But it’s
difficult – if not impossible – to get enough of it to
create an anti-aging effect from food alone.
Dr. Al Sears, who has a very successful medical practice and
research center in Florida, says this about resveratrol.
"When I first discovered the benefits of resveratrol years
ago, I started using it with my patients. And it didn’t take
long before I saw results. Using their blood tests as a
guide, I measured improvements in blood sugar, heart health,
mobility, arthritis pain and inflammation – I even recorded
a general slowing of the degenerative problems that come
with aging.
"Resveratrol is a major breakthrough. There’s no doubt about
it… But there’s more to antioxidants. In fact, when you
combine resveratrol with two of its most powerful siblings,
you get a formula capable of real transformation."
And that’s exactly what Dr. Sears did.
He matched Resveratrol with two powerhouse
antioxidants...EGCG (green tea extract) and SOD (the most
potent antioxidant your body makes on its own).
Together, they form the power-trio behind his newest formula
RES-3.
* Is 25 to 100 times more potent than vitamins C and
Vitamin E.
* Wards off the problems that come with aging like cataracts
and autoimmune disorders.
* Like resveratrol, EGCG activates the genetic pathways that
allow for a younger, healthier body.
SOD – the third element in Dr. Sears' super-antioxidant
formula – is the most powerful antioxidant your body has.
Antioxidants that come from vitamins and food sources pale
in comparison. SOD is the “master guardian” of your body’s
immune system and is your number one primary antioxidant.
It’s so vital, production of SOD starts when you’re in the
womb. In one study, genetically engineered mice whose bodies
couldn’t make their own SOD died in just days from massive
free radical damage.8
Antioxidants come from two places, your body and your diet.
The ones your body can make – like SOD – are the primary
antioxidants and the most powerful. Secondary antioxidants
are the ones you get from your diet or supplements like
CoQ10, Vitamin E, etc.
With RES-3, all you need is a glass of water and two small
caplets. That’s it. It takes less than two minutes a day and
you’re done. Your body does all the work for you. It’s that
easy.
It’s Your Choice…If you do nothing, you leave your future to
chance and heredity. In that case, it’s very possible your
family history will take over and become a reality.
When you take RES-3, you have the opportunity to make a
difference. By taking RES-3 everyday, you give your body the
ammunition it needs to pull the right switches and shut down
the problem areas.
RES-3 may be the most affordable “insurance policy” you’ll
ever find. What better way to prevent a tragedy? And unlike
most insurance policies, RES-3 pays big dividends.
These heart supplements will reward you with better health, longer life and best of all…
freedom, strength and mobility as you age.
