High Cholesterol Medications and Why You Should Avoid Them

Posted by sleepyguy in Prescription Sleep Medicine on July 01st, 2010

There is an increasing body of evidence that shows the serious dangers of high cholesterol medications like statin drugs. Although they are effective at lowering cholesterol, they also lower other crucial substances that keep you healthy.

These high cholesterol medications have been touted as "wonder drugs" but only by the pharmaceutical companies that make them and the doctors that profit by prescribing them!

They have two major problems - they reduce the production of an essential enzyme called CoQ10 and can also lower your cholesterol too much.

CoQ10 is essential for producing energy in all the cells in your body, destroys harmful free radicals and is crucial for the health of all tissue, cells and organs. A lack of this can set you up for long-term health problems.

As they are not a natural substance, they can force your cholesterol down too much which is bad as you need a certain amount to function properly. Low levels can lead to brain malfunction, memory loss and depression.

Other known side effects are sleeplessness, nausea, extreme muscle weakness, breathlessness, sickness, weight gain and impotence.

With the risk so high, why take the chance on high cholesterol medications?

Some of the best natural cholesterol remedies have proven to be more effective than these statin drugs and work with your body rather than against it.

What they help to achieve is the right balance between your good (HDL and bad (LDL) levels. The best ingredients come in a liquid capsule form for maximum effect and absorption and will lower your LDL while increasing the HDL levels significantly.

The best ingredients are policosanol, phytosterols, D-Limonene, rice bran oil and theaflavins which all combine synergistically to maintain a natural ratio and help to reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke.

I hope you can see the dangers of using high cholesterol medications and how a natural remedy can be more effective and much safer.
