STATIN®

Vitamin C is the original HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor

 

I've not only read Alice in Wonderland, I've been there...

 

The hot selling statins, such as Lipitor® and Zocor®, lower

cholesterol by blocking the coenzyme HMG-CoA reductase. The first

statin drugs were released to the U.S. in 1987, and the

manufacturing and promotion of these drugs has grown into a huge

business; statins are the most widely prescribed class of drugs in

history.

 

In the 1960s, research began of the mechanisms on which animals and

humans rely for the synthesis of cholesterol, the enzyme HMG-CoA

reductase. After years of study, in 1985, scientists made the

important discovery that ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is the human

body's natural HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor.

<http://www.jbc.org/cgi/content/abstract/261/16/7127>[*]

When vitamin C levels are low, the body compensates and manufactures

more cholesterol; when vitamin levels are high, vitamin C inhibits

HMG-CoA reductase, lowering cholesterol -- naturally.

 

The problem with the artificial statin drugs has been identified.

These drugs concurrently reduce circulating levels of ubiquinone,

aka coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?

cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=14695926 & dopt=Abstract>[*]

and raise levels of the lipid Lp(a)

<http://www.mercola.com/2003/aug/13/statin_drugs.htm>[*] . A decline

in CoQ10 -- attributed to artificial statins -- has been linked to

muscle pain, muscle myopathy and congestive heart failure;

<http://www.redflagsweekly.com/features/2002_july08.html>[*]

elevated Lp(a) is linked to the 70 percent higher probability of

heart attack or stroke

<http://www.internetwks.com/pauling/lpa090400.html>[*].

 

Vitamin C at the proper dosage (6000 mg or higher), lowers Lp(a) and

promotes the natural production of CoQ10.

 

Vitamin C is Nature's Perfect Statin.

 

Supplement Facts

 

Linus Pauling informed the world that vitamin C deficiency is the

root cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and that taking more of

the vitamin lowers cholesterol, and that when combined with lysine,

effects the cure for CVD.

 

Yet, rather than promote vitamin C, drug companies invented statin

drugs. While it's true that vitamin C is the top selling nutritional

supplement, earning its makers roughly $180 million per year, the

statin drugs are sold to 25 million people worldwide, earning more

than $20,000 million dollars (20 billion) annually.

 

One wonders, what did the drug companies know, and when did they

know it? Was vitamin C used as the model for the statin drugs, and

they simply forgot to mention it?

 

It just gets curiouser and curiouser...
