Statin Drugs May Not Be Good For Your Health

Since arterial plaque is a major indicator of cardiovascular disease and increases your risk of mortality, a study published in Artherosclerosis found that statin use caused a 52% increase in calcified coronary plaque compared to non-users. None of the 6,673 had any known coronary artery disease at the time of getting a CT scan.

Another study, which was published in the journal Diabetes Care, found that people with type 2 diabetics and advanced atherosclerosis who were frequent statin users had significantly higher amounts of coronary artery calcification compared to less frequent users of statins.

Statins have also been shown to significantly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 48% in postmenopausal women. Finally, just in 2009 there were over 900 studies proving the adverse effects of statins.

So…if you are going to take statins, then there is one thing you must add to your diet which is 100 to 200 mg of the supplement CoQ10 in the form of ubiquinol. What statins are doing in the body is keeping CoQ10 from binding to the cell’s receptors, which prevents CoQ10 from being used by the cell. Taking CoQ10 as a supplement allows you to get the supplement into your cells.

There is also one thing you can do physically which is to exercise. Researchers at Harvard and Stanford Universities compared the effectiveness of exercise versus drug interventions on mortality outcomes for diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure and stroke. The researchers analyzed 305 studies with 339,300 people and they found that exercise was more effective than drugs after a stroke.

 The Power Of Mushrooms

A study published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that dogs with hemangiosarcoma, an aggressive, malignant cancer that develops in the cells of blood vessels, that were given a compound derived from mushrooms lived the longest ever reported for dogs with this type of cancer.

The mushroom is a common one found around the world and goes by several names including Coriolus versicolor, Trametes versicolor, Yunzhi mushroom and turkey tail.

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine conducted their study with 15 dogs that had this disease. The dogs were split into 3 groups and received different dosages of the mushroom. In the past, dogs with this disease survived tended to get no further treatment after 86 days since there was nothing else to be done to treat them. The dogs in this study lived over a year with just the mushrooms being used for the treatment. There was no statistically significant difference in the length the dogs lived between the groups taking the different doses.

  Study Proves Chelation Therapy Helps Cardiac Patients

In case you are not aware of chelation therapy, it is the injection into a patient’s blood stream of organic chemicals which can bind with and remove heavy metals from the blood stream. While integrative medicine doctors have been using chelation therapy, convention docs have been against the use of chelation therapy.

A seven-year study funded by the National Institutes of Health called the Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy compared, in a randomized, double-blind study, heart attack patients who were treated with medication and intravenous chelation therapy to those receiving just medication. This study found that the patients who received both the medication and chelation had fewer subsequent surgeries than those who just received the medication. The chelation patients had a reduction in deaths from heart attacks by 18% and over 39% from diabetes.
So…if you are a heart attack patient or know someone who is, consider using chelation therapy in conjunction with medication.
