One of the best selling and most profitable drugs for over 2 decades are cholesterol lowering,
“statin drugs”.
Technically speaking, they’re the biggest selling “class” of pharmaceutical compounds
of ALL time!
Making multiple pharmaceutical companies BILLIONS of dollars in profits, year after year, decade
after decade.
The first “commercially” available, FDA approved statin was introduced over 30 years
ago (lovastatin 1997) and this was formulated based on a natural substance, that I’ll
reveal to you in a minute.
The most popular ones that you’ve probably heard of are Lipitor (Atorvastatin), Crestor
(Rosuvastatin) and Zocor (Simvastatin).
These drugs work by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme...a key to the biosynthesis
of cholesterol within your body.
Okay… so that’s it for the boring, medical jargon.
I won’t even talk to you about all the political “junk” and false clinical studies around
these drugs.
That’s all in the past and you can do your own research about “Statin Side Effects”
if you’d like.
And when you do, you’ll also find that these most popular and best selling drugs, ALSO
have the most side-effects out of all the drugs as well.
I’ll just report to you some of the ones I believe to be the worst:
Muscle pain AND damage.
Just keep in mind that your body, including your HEART is functional ONLY because of your
muscles.
Permanent damage to them done by statins means permanent damage to your health, fitness and
longevity.
Liver Damage 80% of your cholesterol is made within the
liver, NOT from the foods you eat.
These drugs go inside your liver, prevent the formation of cholesterol and in the process,
DAMAGE your liver.
Keep in mind that the weaker you liver, the weaker your body and EVERY organ in your body.
It’s your natural filter of toxins.
Elevated Blood Sugar and Type 2 Diabetes One of the worst things for again and every
problem in your body is high blood sugar and insulin levels.
It’s the #1 cause of aging.
And, these statin drugs accelerates this process.
You do the math!
Neurological Problems Yes, it screws up with your mind.
Sure, it causes depression, anxiety, panic attacks, worry, etc., etc.
But that’s nothing compared to Alzheimer's, Dementia, memory loss and other neurological
illnesses.
Right?...
I’m not even going to get into arthritis, elevated blood pressure and probably the WORST
problem of all - hormonal imbalances.
And I’m familiar with all of these problems because about 20 years ago my parents were
prescribe statin drugs, both BOTH their doctors at separate doctor visits.
I thought it was odd, but back then, we didn’t know any better.
To make a long story short, within a few months I noticed all of these negative side-effects
and I got them off of these toxic drugs (against their doctor’s advice) and put them on natural
alternatives, which is what I’m going to quickly discuss today.
It took a year to find the best, safest and most effective combination of natural herbs,
extracts, vitamins and minerals.
However, the good news is that it’s been 20 years and they have health cholesterol
levels and do not take any drugs and are still alive and healthy.

Fortunately, they take NO medications!
Natural Alternatives
So let’s get right to it, I’ll make this quick.
First, your goal is NOT to have “low” cholesterol, you want HEALTHY cholesterol
levels.
Additionally and more importantly, you ALSO want optimal ratios of your HDL (“good”
cholesterol/lipoprotein) and LDL (“bad” cholesterol/lipoprotein).
Remember how I told you the first FDA approved drug was in 1987 called Lovastatin, based
on a NATURAL ingredient?
Well, that’s from Red Yeast Rice, which is a common food in Asia.
The natural form of this extract, in small doses, has all the positive “cholesterol
lowering” benefits, but without the negatives of the synthetic drugs.
However, you MUST get the correct form of Red Yeast Rice, at the proper extract dosage,
with the “toxic” by-product, Citrinin removed.
Other Cholesterol Optimizing Herbs Other clinically proven, natural herbal extracts
that promote health cholesterol levels and balanced lipid levels, which are:
Artichoke Leaf Extract (15% Chlorogenic Acid, 5% Cynarin)
Phytosterols Complex (40% extract from non-GMO pine tree extract)
Garlic (Extract 5% alliin) Policosanol (from Sugar Cane - Saccharum species)
Improve Your Thyroid Here’s something interesting, before doctors
were handing out statin drugs like candy, the more efficient and effective way of lowering
your cholesterol was by optimizing your thyroid hormones.
Now, instead of taking thyroid drugs, I suggest taking
Guggulsterones (10% Pure Extract; E and Z) Iodine (Kelp Extract)
Cleanse Your Liver As stated earlier, most people don’t know
that 80% of your cholesterol is created within your body, by your liver… and NOT from the
foods you eat.
This is why many times, the change in your diet doesn’t make dramatic improvements
in cholesterol levels.
Thus, the stronger your liver, the easier your body will eliminate and detox “excess
cholesterol” from your blood.
The irony is that ALL drugs, especially statins, cause liver damage and thus, will eventually
increase your cholesterol levels and this is why you keep having to increase the dosage
of these drugs.
So make sure you try to eliminate anything that stresses your liver - this includes all
drugs, including alcohol and caffeine.
But, since this is almost impossible for most people, I suggest you take
Milk Thistle (80% Extract) NAC (N-Acetyl L-Cysteine) - which also boost
your immune system.
R+ Alpha Lipoic Acid (r+ ALA) - which also helps lower your blood sugar.
Reduce Homocysteine Levels All doctors are so focused on improving cholesterol
to help you avoid heart disease, a heart attack or stroke -- that they forget (or don’t
KNOW!) about something super important and that’s your Homocysteine Levels.
In fact, researchers now believe that testing homocysteine levels is over 47% more accurate
at predicting heart disease, than checking cholesterol.
The cool part is that you can easily and quickly improve Homocysteine levels by simply taking
a specific ratio of certain B-Vitamins
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCL) Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)
Folate (as 5-Methyl-tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF)) Vitamin B5 [Pantesin® d-Pantethine (special
form of B5)] Reduce Inflammation
Finally, one of the leading causes of many illnesses and diseases is inflammation.
And there are a few ingredients that’ll help reduce it, 3 of my favorites are:
Turmeric (95% curcuminoids Extract) Ginger (10% extract)
Mixed Vit.
E - Tocotrienols (90% Delta &10% Gamma Tocotrienols)
Putting It All Together
Of course, taking all of these natural ingredients is a great idea, but obviously time-consuming,
not convenient and very expensive.
This is the exact problem I faced with my own parents 20 years ago when I got them off
of the statin drugs.
However, the good news for all of us is that there’s already a clinically research proven
remedy that contains all of these ingredients in the correct dosage and form.
And the best part is that it’ll cost you about $1 day - something very affordable,
with numerous heart-healthy benefits.

So I highly suggest you get OFF of the toxic statin drugs, improve your health and take
natural alternatives.
So that’s it for today.
