Cholestrol Treatment

[Guest guest]

I need some ayurvedic treatment /advise.

4 years ago I had a stent placed in my heart artery. it was an elective surgery

( I had some tiredness etc and upon stress test they discovered that my artery

was partially blocked. after a few months of medications I decided to eliminate

drugs and decided on life style change ( some exercise and diet more heavy on

fruits and vegetables).

My cholesterols became stable as total about 175, LDL 113, HDL 42 and

tryglesrides about 100.

My doctor has been insisting that I take statins to reduce cholesterols. Six

weeks ago I started taking the medicine on the lowest dose( 10mg) and my

cholesterols have become what I consider to be too low, total 100 LDl 50 HDLl

38 .

 

I feel tired and feel that I should stop taking the medicine.

any advise or suggestions?

thanks

In my experience as a nurse i have found the Statin drugs to be the most

harmful group of medications available to man. If you were my relative I

would beg you to stop taking them immediately. There is a heap of info to

back me up - you only have to do a " Statin Side-effects " google search and

you would never touch them again ..... sunshine and carrots help lower

cholesterol and besides there is a heap of other natural dietary change you

can do if your cholesterol is really high but I doubt that it is too bad at

all - views of cholesterol levels change as the fashion scene - how do you

feel - rather did you feel = before you started the statin drug? By the way

you can stop immediately without further harming yourself.

 

Best,

 

Jane

These levels seem quite close to those of many 21 km marathon

runners. Lifestyle changes seem to have helped you.

Is this not an indicator that health is a personal experience and

not some machine generated numbers. the reason for tiredness need

not be again a blocked artery, it could be many others. Meet nearest

ayurvedist. If you go to old model, the tiredness may lead to

another stent. Or perhaps the conclusion that " you should not have

eaten fruits and vegetables, they are wrong diet for heart

patients " . while fatigue tiredness has been traced to

triglicerides/toxins clogged liver/parasites/insulin resistance by

this author in 99 cases out of hundred, each individual is unique.

modern medication may slow down liver function, heart rate, ejection

fraction, hundred other conditions occur as side effects.

The Statin Scam Marches On

The researchers tested statin-taking humans who were complaining of severe

muscle pain. Muscle biopsy found that the atrogen-1 gene was activated,

compared to people with severe muscle pain not on statins and controls. They

went on to show through various experiments that statins activate the gene.

This is extremely bad news for any person taking a statin.......

I feel the way you do. I live in USA near Washington DC and ayurvedic

practitioners are not available.Fortunately ( or unfortunately) my son is a

young doctor and he is also of the opinion that statins are great.

 

I felt energetic before I started to take statins. I do not have significant

muscle pains, just general lack of energy. I am 60 years old and some times the

comments are made, well at your age tiredness is expected and that a stroke will

be lot worst than tiredness. these kind of arguments from people who love you

and have your best interest at heart are hard to argue against and overlook.

 

at the same time I agree that health is not numbers and that my cholesterols

before the statins ( 175 total, 113 LDL 42 HDL ) were not bad at all. If i had

not had stent put in , these will be fine. all these well wishers which includes

my wife who is an RN believe that getting LDL in the 80-100 range is the goal.

 

It is with good intentions that they insist that I continue with the medicine

and it makes it hard to say no to all of them. Mt wife now seems to feel that

may be i should take this medicine every other day.

 

any recommendations of who I can see near Washington DC or any suggestions with

respect to diet ayurvedic treatment

I thank you for your assistance and response.

statins deplete CoQ10 and i would put this on the top priority list for

immediate

supplementation: http://www.townsendletter.com/FebMar2006/coq100206.htm

 

statins promote cardiomyopathy and muscle damage - it's a VERY dangerous drug

that

should be banned, but it is also the number 1 selling drug _in the world_

 

let me explain to everyone the very basic idea behind statins

 

1. an atheroma, or the arterial plaque of atherosclerosis, AKA " heart disease " ,

is mostly

comprised of cholesterol

 

2. therefore we must stop the body from producing too much cholesterol

 

did anyone notice a logical step missing here? like maybe WHY is there a

cholesterol

build-up?

 

although much maligned, cholesterol is an amazing waxy substance that confers so

many

benefits to the human body that it is beyond comprehension how it could be

viewed so

poorly

 

the primary function of cholesterol is to achieve stable plasma membranes, the

slippery

fatty shell that surrounds the contents of each cell

 

having more cholesterol in the membrane achieves greater stability, greater

resistance to

inflammation, in contrast to the other much more " explosive " lipids found in the

membrane like polyunsaturated fatty acids

 

in areas of inflammation, cholesterol can be used to achieve stabilty, to

displace the

" exploding " fatty acids, and thus reduce the tissue damage and instability

mediated

through the products of this explosion, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes,

etc.

 

in otherwords, in the atheroma, cholesterol is a stabilizing molecule, to help

stabilize the

inflammatory process: the chewing gum in the dam

 

doctors treat the SYMPTOM of inflammation, i.e. cholesterol, the very same

molecule that

is actually trying to help you!

 

they do this by using a statin, the holy grail of CVD, which functions to

inhibit ALL

cholesterol synthesis in the body (and not mention, the antioxidant CoQ10, which

is

synthesized in the same pathway)

 

to make matters worse, they then put you on a low cholesterol diet, which never

really

makes a big impact on serum cholesterol anyway, since about 80% of all

cholesterol in the

blood is _synthesized_)

 

and ALL this, despite the real evidence that having lower than normal

cholesterol

INCREASES the overall mortality of cardiovascular disease, and will make you

feel _exactly_

the way you are feeling now

 

check out the Honolulu Heart Study in the files section

 

in some ways i think of cholesterol as a physical representation of ojas, as the

binding-

connecting-strengthening principle --- which also explains its role as a

regulatory

molecule, from which is manufactured vitamin D, progesterone, estrogen,

testosterone,

cortisol and mineral-corticoids

 

also, i found this interesting study, which suggests that people with higher

serum

cholesterols have a much lower risk of severe stroke

Why are you advertising or suggesting Allopathic medications on an Ayurvedic

list? They do nothing but harm - they all have undesirable side-effects -

if not in the short term then in the long term when it may well be too late

to reverse such effects - this is not the way most people on this list wish

to go .........

I would like to know from Dr. Mukesh Jain whether Omnicor that he

suggested is a an Ayurvedic substitute for the statins that the OP

talked about. A web search on Omnicor did not give me any results.

 

Thanks
