19 April 2011 Dear Reader, So you've had your cholesterol levels tested and you're in the doctor's office to discuss the results. Before you know it, you're being handed a prescription for a cholesterol-lowering statin drug with the promise that everything will be fine in no time... Sure it will be! The doctor is banking on you being blissfully unaware that this dangerous pharmaceutical drug can cause horrendous side effects... A paper, published in the American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs, co-authored by Dr. Beatrice Golomb (associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and director of UC San Diego's Statin Study group) cites nearly 900 studies on the adverse effects of statins. One of the most concerning side-effects linked to statins is that they lower your body's levels of co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Ironically, CoQ10 is an essential heart nutrient and depleted levels can increase your risk of heart disease… the very condition statins are supposedly designed to prevent! According to Dr. Golomb, low levels of CoQ10 increase the risk of congestive heart failure and chronic fatigue, hepatitis, myopathy, rhabdomyolysis and neuropathy (loss of cell wall integrity). She believes there is powerful evidence to suggest that statin-induced injury to the function of the body's energy-producing cells underlies many of the adverse effects that occur to patients taking statin drugs. If you're currently taking a statin drug you should supplement with CoQ10 to help ensure your levels remain intact. Be sure to take it in its most potent form: ubiquinol… which offers eight times more heart protection than standard CoQ10. Kind Regards Rachael Linkie Editor Health Sciences Institute P.S. CoQ10 doesn't just offer heart protection. Read more here about its amazing qualities essential for a healthy life.
