Lipitor Side Effects
Do You Have Any of These?
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!
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.
Lipitor
and other statin drugs can
rob you of
Co Q10 and drain your energy!
In addition to statin
drugs, beta blockers and some antidepressants, may
also block Coenzyme Q10 absorption.
"CoQ10, is energy on
call," In addition to energizing
your heart, CoQ10 has also been shown to support the immune system, blood
pressure and healthy cholesterol levels.
If you are taking any of
the statin family of drugs such as Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor
or one of the generic statin drugs to lower your
cholesterol you should not be without CoQ10. These drugs can literally “kill”
synthesis of CoQ10.
CoQ10 is a notoriously
bulky nutrient that's quite hard for your body to absorb.
 My name is
Gene Millen, your guide and the
owner of this website with my wife Bernie. To avoid a heart attack, in 1990 a heart surgeon, sawed open
my chest and stitched in bypasses to six of my favorite
heart arteries.
This got my attention... and
for the last 21 years I have been researching ways to keep my heart ticking for a long, long time.
So far it's working great! I recently celebrated my 80th
birthday and feel great!
I want to help you and my
other readers learn
exactly what
causes heart attacks and strokes.
I've spent hundreds of hours sifting
through clinical research for the latest information
we need to
know to keep our hearts as strong and vital as our Creator designed them
to be.
I'd like to introduce you to
Dr. Al Sears, MD.
Dr.
Sears graduated from the University of South
Florida, College of Medicine with honors in Internal
Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry and Physical Medicine.
Dr. Al is Board Certified in Anti-Aging Medicine a member
of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine
He also has been a lifelong advocate of nutritional
supplementation and exercise programs. He is an ACE
certified fitness trainer, has a thriving practice in
Florida and has written thirteen books on health and
nutrition. Here's an announcement from Dr. Al about an
exceptional new form of Coenzyme Q10 that is eight
times more powerful than normal formulations!
 "I want to tell you
about a meeting I had with the most respected CoQ10
researcher in the world. Dr. Mae from Japan stopped by my
offices to talk to me about his latest breakthrough. It’s a
new form of Coenzyme Q10 that’s 8 times more powerful than
conventional formulations.
"Being 8 times more
powerful doesn’t just mean that it’s 8 times better. The
truth is more remarkable. This new form of CoQ10 will give
you the opportunity to make gains on a scale that defies
comparison.
"Conventional CoQ10
works wonders, but the problem I’ve had is keeping my
patients’ blood levels high enough. They often require high
doses, and that sometimes means taking 4 to 6 capsules a day
of at least 200 mg. That’s expensive…
"But this new form,
which I call Accel,
has the best coenzyme Q10 absorption rate, which
lets me give a single 50 mg capsule to the patients who used
to need half a dozen. And that’s just the beginning…
The best
thing is that a new study confirms our "secret" vitality
booster...this
space age pill can actually
double your energy!
