Lower-Your-Cholesterol's Reward? A Heart Attack! Or Amnesia!



If you want to increase your risk of a heart attack, make sure you
take your statin drug every day.

Of course, you might not even know you're having a heart attack
because those statins can give you global amnesia, too. Just ask Dr.
Graveline, a retired physician and former astronaut, who got hit with
global amnesia twice while taking Lipitor. Lipitor is the #1 selling
drug in the US with sales of $6.6 Billion a year.

He wrote a book about it. The second time he had no memory of
attending medical school! He couldn't remember his wife and children.
His wife had to use milk and cookies to entice him to come into the
house...he had no idea who she was at the time!

Many others have experienced faltering memory. In some cases, enough
of the amnesia persists that the victim has to quit working.

Statins lower cholesterol. Well guess what...our brains need
cholesterol to function properly.

And as is noted in Canadian inserts for statins, they significantly
lower CoQ10 levels. Our hearts slurp up CoQ10 to keep up its high
requirements for ATP. When you don't have enough, your heart can quit
on you. It happens all the time.

And if that isn't enough...men need cholesterol to make testosterone.
Without enough testosterone, men can lose libido and lose their
erections, too.

So let's recap: heart attacks, total or partial memory loss, and no
wood.
