Every half minute a person dies of a heart attack in the U.S., making heart attack the number one cause of death for adults in the U.S. (National Hear, Lung and Blood Institute Fact Book: Fiscal Year 1995). But our common conception of the cause of heart attack – that it is caused by high cholesterol – cannot be further from the truth! To lessen your risk of heart attack, we need to understand ”The Low-Down on Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs,” from Sherry A. Rogers, M.D:

1. Statin drugs work by poisoning a liver enzyme that makes cholesterol. That enzyme is HMC  COA reductase (3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase). The problem? The fact that cholesterol is needed to keep the brain from aging. Aging brain = Alzheimer’s, senility, amnesia, depression, and nerve, heart and muscle damage..
2. Turning off cholesterol production fuels the Viagra epidemic, because you need cholesterol to make your sex hormones like testosterone, estrogen and progesterone. Impotency and low libido are common side affects, including fatigue or exhaustion, irritability, road rage, hostile aggression.
3. We need cholesterol in the cell membranes so that they can properly release cytokines. Only healthy cell membranes with sufficient cholesterol can release chemicals that we need to make inside of our cells to kills cancer cell.
4. Statin drugs create a coenzyme Q10 deficiency. Statin drugs inhibit or poison the same enzyme, HMG COA reductase, that the body uses to make the fat-soluble vitamin, CoQ10. A deficiency often caused fatal cardiomyopathy, heart attack , congestive heart failure, exhaustion, cancer, myopathy (muscle diseases), fibromyalgia, depression resistant to anti-depressants, high blood pressure, gum disease and tooth loss, hair loss, liver disease, sudden complete memory loss or amnesia, cataracts, anigina, folic acid deficiency, damaged cell membranes, fatigue, accelerated aging and much more. Without sufficient CoQ10 levels, you are likely to die within 6 months (pg. 6).
5. Cholesterol drugs deplete nutrients and invite cancer, which is why statin drug users have a higher rate of cancer. As well as lowering CoQ10, statins deplete vitamin E and vitamin A precursor, beta-corotene, as much as 22%.
6. Statins damage the good effects of vitamin E, instead making it easier for cholesterol to stick in blood vessel walls causing coronary artery disease, heart attack, and death.
7. Statin cholesterol-lowering drugs decrease the ability of insulin to metabolize sugars. Which means the body makes more insulin, which promotes arteriosclerosis, which promotes diabetes, which accelerates aging.
8. Taking statin drugs increases the risk of developing polyneuropath (neurological disorder) 14-fold. Symptoms include numbness and tingling to impotency or paralysis.
9. Statins can cause amnesia, within minutes. (Hopefully your taxi driver or airplane pilot isn’t on a statin!)
10. Cholesterol drugs cause miserable people. “One out of three people have low energy, does not feel content, is no longer happy, and has other subtle and affective changes” (pg. 10). The brain receptors for the hormones to plug in in the brain to make us feel good are malformed when there isn’t enough cholesterol and other nutrients. So regardless of how much Prozac you take, you won’t feel better because there is no dock for the “happy hormones”.
11. Cholesterol drugs guarantee an avalanche of new symptoms, especially caner and more serious heart disease.
