We encourage you to read the article below very closely, since so
many people use Lipitor or similar drugs every day. It contains some
excellent information on the necessary role cholesterol plays in
your health and how getting enough vitamin C keeps your cholesterol
recycling properly in your system.
Do you really need to lower your cholesterol, regardless of how
high it is or do you just need to keep it flowing properly and
prevent it from backing up in your blood vessels by: 1) getting
enough vitamin C to keep it recycling, and 2) neutralizing the
homocycteine that causes the backed up cholesterol to glob up and
begin forming plaques -- with adequate folic acid (B-Complex,
Vita-Lea), coenzyme Q10, and resveratrol (found in Shaklee
CoQHeart).
The many dangerous side-effects of Lipitor and other similar
drugs could in part be the result of removing cholesterol from your
system that your body desperately needs.
Lipitor: Side Effects And Natural Remedy Serious side effects have been reported for Lipitor
and other cholesterol-lowering drugs - the so-called statins -
prescribed to millions for preventive purposes. The prescription of
these drugs is based on the discredited hypothesis that high cholesterol levels
cause heart attacks. The cholesterol myth has been one of the most
long lived falsehoods around - probably because it has been
excellent business, both for large pharma producers as well as for the food
multinationals, who introduced margarine telling us how much
healthier it is than butter.
There is an easy, widely available nutritional solution to heart attacks: Vitamin C.
Needless to say, taking more vitamin C has been opposed by big
pharma and its mainstream medicine followers for decades.
When a "preventive" medicine causes severe muscular degeneration
as a "common" side effect, something must be awfully wrong. Jonathan Campbell examines
the side effects and postulates a mechanism - proposing an
astonishingly simple remedy.
Lipitor - Reports of Neuromuscular Degeneration by Jonathan
Campbell, March 16, 2004
Numerous adverse side effect reports have implicated Lipitor as a
possible cause for severe neuromuscular degeneration. Some people
who have been using Lipitor for two years or more report symptoms
similar to multiple sclerosis or ALS - Lou Gehrig's Disease - in
which they are losing neuromuscular control of their bodies.
For instance, in an article entitled "Life After Lipitor" that appeared in the newspaper
Tahoe World on January 27, 2004, Tahoe City (California) resident
Doug Peterson began having serious neuromuscular problems after
taking Lipitor for two years. He began losing muscular coordination
and slurring words when he spoke. Then he lost balance, followed by
loss of fine motor skills - he had difficulty writing. He went from
doctor to doctor, trying to figure out what could be happening.
Finally one doctor suggested that he stop taking Lipitor, and the
downward health spiral stopped and his health is now slowly
improving.
These adverse effects have begun appearing in peer-reviewed
medical journals, and numerous people have reported similar
symptoms at public adverse effect reporting websites such as
medications.com. People have reported "trouble swallowing, trouble
talking and enunciating words, feeling fatigued all the time, neck
aches," "motor neuropathy which mimics ALS," "Blinding headaches,
nausea, vertigo, disorientation, memory loss, extremely dry eyes,
pain and stiffness in my neck and calf muscles, abominal pain," and
"Muscle pain, weakness, spasms, buzzing in right leg. Can't hold
arms or head up in vertical position for 2 minutes without extreme
pain and weakness."
How could Lipitor potentially cause this kind of harm to so many
different parts of the body? Lipitor is a "statin" drug which
inhibits the production of cholesterol in order to lower LDL
cholesterol counts. By limiting the production of cholesterol,
Lipitor may be indirectly causing membrane degeneration in neural
and muscle tissue.
The problem is this: cholesterol is essential in your body for many
functions. It forms part of what is called the cell membrane - the
outer layer of every cell in your body. It helps transport and pack
the major components of the cell membrane, called "phospholipids,"
that are made from essential fatty acids (EFAs). Without sufficient
cholesterol we would die, because our tissues are constantly being
repaired and replaced with new cells.
Our body produces several thousand milligrams of cholesterol per
day to carry out these essential functions, and each day the excess
of cholesterol is supposed to be naturally recycled. If your body
doesn't have enough new cholesterol each day, you cannot repair and
replace your cell membranes and they will eventually
degenerate.
The continual recycling of cholesterol happens naturally when you
have sufficient ascorbate, another name for vitamin C. Excess
cholesterol is naturally converted to bile acid and then excreted.
But if you don't consume enough vitamin C (about 2000-3000
milligrams per day for an adult), cholesterol builds up in your
bloodstream. It is here that doctors make a critical error: instead
of telling you to take more vitamin C, they prescribe Lipitor.
If Lipitor and other similar statin drugs are in fact indirectly
causing neural and muscular degeneration, this is a very serious
matter indeed.
There are twenty million people in the U.S. on Lipitor alone, and
probably millions more on other statin drugs (Zocor, Pravachol,
Mevacor, Altocor, Lescol, Crestor, etc.). Are they all going to
become victims of cell membrane degeneration and nervous system
problems? There are few long-term studies that bear out the safety
of these drugs, and side effects such as "muscle pain or weakness"
are just classified as a reason for some to stop the medication
rather than an indication of something very wrong with the drug.
What is most horrifying about this problem is that cholesterol
balance can be achieved without drugs, simply and safely by taking
2000-3000 milligrams of vitamin C per day for an adult.
Unfortunately, vitamin C was misclassified as a micronutrient in the
1930s and 1940s, rather than an essential nutrient involved in
dozens of body processes. Our health authorities recommend that
we take only 60 milligrams per day, barely enough to prevent
scurvy.
It is my hope that people on Lipitor and other statins learn that
they do not need to take these potentially harmful drugs.

"Aspartame"
Do you know it exists in over 7000 products most of us use
everyday? Are you aware of it's side effects? Are you aware of
the "Profit before People" mentality that made it possible for you
and your children to digest on a regular basis? Are you giving it to
your children? If I told you our government is well aware of it's
dangers but allow it to be used, would you believe me? Chances are
you would say, this guy is crazy.... Or maybe ask yourself, what's
in it for him?
Here's the answer, NOTHING, I have no "Healthy Options Listed
Below" just a link to hopefully educate you on the risks that exist.
As I have tried very hard to give people a reason for taking control
of their health by designing and promoting this website worldwide, I
am giving you yet another reason to hopefully understand,
"Profit before People" is very real and although you won't see
this on your evening news tonight, please know it's a reality and
could make a huge difference in your health. I hope you will take
the time to investigate the dangers that I feel most of you never
realized until now?
It's my opinion, your health isn't by chance, it's about the
choices you make....I hope you will make the right choice?
