Cholesterol drug fails again

Did you know that ancient Rome didn't crumble merely due to its cultural decline. They fell because they used lead pipes in their aqueducts. Their leaders and populace became stupid and crazy.

Today we face a similar threat, we're being made sick and stupid by the medications so many of us take. The latest evidence is the widely used Zocor.

Zocor, a cholesterol drug, can ruin your sleep, according to the latest study.

Sleep problems are associated with contributing to both weight gain, and diabetes.

So let's do the math here. Zocor is supposed to protect you from a heart attack (har har) but it can lead to diabetes which causes heart attacks, blindness and kidney failure, along with severe nerve pain, and gangrene which can lead to amputations.

Something doesn't add up.

Does this mean you should switch from Zocor to another cholesterol drug? No. All statin drugs block CoQ10, a vital energy producer in the heart. This means all of them promote heart attacks.

There is further evidence that they also lower testosterone and promote amnesia and memory loss. Stay away from these drugs.

68% More Gen X'ers Risking Erectile & Libido Dysfunction

You might be wondering what cholesterol has to do with killing our enemies.

Forgive me for hammering on the many problems of cholesterol lowering drugs of late. But the news keeps piling up on them. The news is really serious in its implications for both our nation and to the young men and women who could be seriously harmed by these problematic drugs.

Recent news reports indicate more men and women between the age of 20 and 44 could be losing their sex drives, if other medical reports are to be believed. The news is that sales of these drugs has increased by 68% to that age group.

In previous articles, I've noted how the popular cholesterol drugs can hurt patients in different ways:

  • Memory loss, and amnesia
  • Heart atttacks
  • Erectile and libido dysfunction
Can the US afford to have a bunch of Gen X'ers & Gen Y'ers suffering from memory loss and reduced testosterone levels? Are we femininizing our society, turning men into wishy washy wimps?

We are at war, in case our already wishywashy wimp society hasn't noticed. Lowering our testosterone doesn't help when we are faced with millions of fanatics who want to destroy the US.

With Alzheimer's Disease already a grave worry, what happens if we add to that a large number of Cholesterol-impaired brain-addled young adults?

Men need testosterone to maintain their masculinity. Women need a tiny bit to maintain their natural sex drive. All of us need fully functioning brains for as long as possible.

I fear for our future. There are so few voices crying out to stop this madness, with millions of prescriptions being written each year, destroying brains and vitality.

This is no joke. Physicians are becoming more aggressive in prescribing 'Limpitor' and the other statins. Meanwhile, medical bodies keep reducing the mythical number as to what is a safe level of cholesterol.

If you're concerned about your cholesterol, a much safer and effective solution would be fish oil and arginine. Neither will mess with your testosterone or your brain except to help them.
