Heart and Cholesterol Drugs Can be Effectively Replaced by Natural Remedies

 

We now know that cholesterol contributes to heart disease ONLY when

it is oxidized, or subjected to free radical damage!

Cholesterol damaged by free radicals is taken up by white blood

cells called *macrophages* and deposited in fatty *streaks* on the

artery walls. This fosters plaque buildup in the arteries and is key in the

development of heart disease.

Prescription Drugs:

 

Beta blockers and calcium channel blockers are the mainstay of

conventional treatment for heart disease, angina, and even cardiac

arrythmias for millions of people.

Calcium channel blockers are supposed to relax artery walls and lower

blood pressure by blocking the entrance of calcium into cells!

However---

they also block essential *functions* of the heart and blood

vessels.

 

In numerous studies, patients taking large amounts of calcium channel

blockers had a 60% higher death rate!

 

One " alternative " to calcium channel blockers is MAGNESIUM!

 

Magnesium accomplishes essentially the same *results* as prescription

drugs;- relaxation of the smooth muscles of the arteries and reduced

stress on the myocrdium--but in a natural way!

We recommend increasing your daily intake of potassium and

potassium-rich foods.

Beta blockers are often given to treat high blood pressure:

 

They work by blocking the ability of your heart to respond to

epinephrine and adrenaline, which stimulate your pulse rate and

blood pressure, elevating both.

 

They are meant to *weaken* the heart so that blood pressure is *lowered* and

heart pain reduced.

Beta blockers can be beneficial for temporary relief, but that's not how

they're used! Virtually every doctor I know prescribes them indefinitely!

 

 

Anti-hyperlipidemic drugs are given to lower cholesterol levels.

 

These drugs all have dangerous side effects and again, there is

little evidence that they reduce the risk of heart attack!

Statin drugs such as Mevacor and Zocor are the most popular

lipid-lowering drugs.

They reduce the " production " of cholesterol in the liver and *alter* the

way LDL cholesterol enters the cells.

 

According to the " Physician's Desk Reference " (PDR), side effects

include liver toxicity, muscle inflammation, gastrointestinal symptoms,

and an increased risk of cataract formation.

 

A significant side effect of statin drugs not mentioned

in the PDR is a reduction in your body's " production " of Coenzyme Q10.

CoQ10 is essential for healthy heart muscle.

Co-Q10 is more prevalent in your heart than any other muscles in the

body!!

 

Colestid and Questran (resins)--

absorb bile acids from cholesterol in the intestinal tract and cause

them to be excreted, lowering cholesterol levels circulating in the

blood.

 

Resins have considerable side effects---

 

constipation, nausea, bloating, and, more seriously, reduced absorption

of vitamins A,D, E, and K.

 

In the long run, these deficiencies may cause bleeding, disorders and

vision problems!

 

Atromid-S actually INCREASED deaths from non-cardiac causes primarily

CANCER!

 

 

A Safe Natural Approach:

 

We now know that cholesterol-lowering drugs have dangerous side

effects and there is scant research that they lessen the risk of

heart attack!

 

There are safe alternatives that address the CAUSES of

heart disease, not just the symptoms! They work to prevent and in

some cases even reverse heart disease.

 

A low-fat moderate protein diet abundant in fruits and vegetables, a

high-potency, antioxidant-rich multivitamin regimen, *essential* fatty

acid supplementation along with moderate exercise greatly reduces your

risk.

Every patient would benefit from this program, not just those with heart

disease!
