Most Notorious of Statin Induced Symptoms
If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans taking a statin
drug you should know that yet another study was released yesterday, this
one published online in the venerable Journal of the American Medical
Association, implicating these best-selling billion-dollar babies in
the development of muscle weakness and pain.

Now if anyone is surprised by this kind of finding which mimics the
results found many other studies and corroborates the information on the
drug company own insert that’s included in all statin drug packages,
they’re clearly not paying attention to biochemistry, medicinal
mechanisms or for that matter the news.
Even mainstream media outlets
like Fox News http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/06/05/statins-linked-to-muscle-pain-sprains/ and CNN http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/statin-side-effects/MY00205.html
have weighed in on this most notorious of statin induced symptoms.
At
this point, a quarter century after their release on an unsuspecting
and unfortunately sometimes gullible public, no medical practioner worth
his salt can plead ignorance to the muscle pain and weakness that is
clearly associated with long-term statin use.
Now when most of us think of muscles we tend to think of biceps,
triceps, quadriceps and other body structures connected to the skeleton,
i.e. what is generally referred to as the musculoskeletal system. What
is often forgotten however, is the fact that that one of the largest,
strongest and certainly the most important muscles in the body is ...
the heart!
How ironic that a drug that is a supposed to be used to protect
against cardiovascular disease boasts as a primary side effect toxicity
to the heart, the very organ the poison (medicine) is supposed be
treating!
What’s even worse, last month in an article published on the
website Medical News Today, researchers from the British Medical Journal
reported on evidence that statin use can increase the risk of developing
Type 2 diabetes. And the most notable system affected by this serious
life-threatening disease? You guessed it, the heart. Again the supposed
structure that statin drugs are supposed to be supporting.
Look, it’s not complicated: the human body cannot function in a
healthy fashion unless it can make cholesterol and a lot of it. This
important raw material for hormones and cells is arguably the most
critical chemical in the body and the molecule that singularly
distinguishes animal life from plant life. Put another way, cholesterol
is the quintessential molecule of animal life. If you mess around with
the body’s ability to make this stuff you are playing with fire and the
longer you poison cholesterol manufacturing bio-machinery the more
likely you are going to be to be dealing with toxicity and side effects.
If you’re concerned about cardiovascular disease or if you’ve had a
heart attack and want to prevent another one there are numerous
non-toxic, non-pharmaceutical strategies that you can use to keep
yourself out of the cardiologist’s office and out from under his knife.
Magnesium Glycinate, Essential Fatty Acids, Taurine, Arginine and
Sulfur (MSM) are just a few gentle, benign and multi-functional
nutritional supplements that you can use to keep heart healthy and
strong. And Niacin is a great supplement that can reduce cholesterol
production just as effectively as any statin drug without the side
effects. Perhaps the most important cardiovascular health strategy is
to stay away from insulin spiking foods. Excess ingestion bread, pasta
cereal, cakes candies fruits and fruit juices and many other mainstays
of the Standard American Diet (SAD) are a sure fire way to mess up your
heart and circulatory system. Staying off of these foods is way better
heart-healthy strategy than taking a poison anti- cholesterol drug. You
won’t have to worry about side effects and you’ll lose weight too.
You’re likely to lower your blood pressure and increase your longevity
to boot. And unlike the deadly drugs dispensed by your doctor you’ll
actually drop your risk of diabetes.
