Statin drugs can cause devastating side effects statin drugs and LipitorStatin drugs, which promise to reduce the levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol in the body while improving the levels of good (HDL) cholesterol, are the fastest-growing class of prescription drugs in the world, but increasing evidence shows they may not be safe, and Canadian health officials are warning that statins can cause serious muscle damage. Health Canada is now requiring manufacturers of statin drugs such as Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Mevacor and Crestor to include warnings and information about the potential for muscle damage on patient safety information sheets, according to the Toronto Star. General muscle pain is a side effect frequently experienced by patients on statin drugs. The drugs may also lead to a potentially fatal muscle-wasting disease called rhabdomyolysis in patients with certain pre-existing medical conditions. In this potentially deadly disease, muscle cells are destroyed and released into the bloodstream and can cause patients to suffer kidney failure. Other possible side effects of statin drugs include nausea, diarrhea and constipation, and they have even caused severe memory and mental awareness problems in some patients. Most people concerned about their blood cholesterol levels can improve cholesterol naturally by making changes to their diet and exercise regime. In fact, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed adding foods like tofu, almonds, cereal fibers, plant sterols and soy products can lower total cholesterol more effectively than statin drugs. See Mike Adams' NewsTarget article " /Healing foods beat statin drugs for lowering high cholesterol for more information on that study.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I just wanted to tell you all about a great alternative to Statin drugs. My husband suffers from high blood pressure as well as a genetic predisposition to early heart attacks. We started him on the Heart Health Pack and what an amazing difference. His cholesterol and bp lowered and in general he just feels a much greater sense of wellbeing (he is also taking a high quality multivitamin for men). The pack contains a tasty fibre drink, High quality essential fatty acids and phytosterols and an antioxidant formula to fight free radicals. I strongly feel that drugs have become the mainstay of our health care system and it really isn't necessary. Sure, sometimes they are helpful to get things under control but i have seen amazing results with vitamins and supplements that not only correct health problems but support health in general. Something drugs can't do!
