Default LIPITOR: THE POISON THAT CAUSES CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

LIPITOR: THE POISON THAT CAUSES CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

I stopped by the friendly, neighborhood Borders bookstore this morning
in order to enjoy a cup of coffee and to count books. I was
specifically interested in the books that were written by medical
doctors and that had as their primary subject matter the prevention
and/or reversal of heart disease. This particular Borders store had
forty-nine different books that met the criteria.


After counting the books, I then went to the index of each book,
located the pages associated with the use of cholesterol-lowering
statin drugs such as Lipitor, and then I read what each of those
physician-written books had to say about the use of those drugs. It
was a highly enjoyable way to spend a morning, and the morning would
have been perfect had it not been for an anal-retentive bookseller
hovering around me and fussing over the books being placed back on the
shelves in correct order. He ignored my assurances of my understanding
of the term "alphabetical by author." Maybe he just had too much time
on his hands.


If a physician has been successful in publishing a book about heart
disease and that book is being marketed at Borders, then I think that
it is safe for us to assume that the physician-author is something of
an expert on the subject of heart disease. So it may interest you to
know that not one of the forty-nine expert physicians that I consulted
this morning would recommend the use of Lipitor or any other
cholesterol-lowering statin drug in treating or preventing heart
disease. One of the physicians did admit that she prescribes Lipitor
occasionally, but only after the patient has demonstrated no ability
to maintain their own health.


And so the presumed experts in heart healthcare do not recommend the
use of Lipitor and yet it is the most prescribed drug in the U.S. and
it continues to grow in popularity. What is wrong with this picture?



I have worked in the medical field for a number of years. There is a
joke that my colleagues and I would ritualistically tell each other
after dealing with a particularly obtuse physician. One of us would
ask the question, "What do you call the guy who graduates last in his
class from medical school?" and everybody would respond with, "You
call him 'Doctor'." The point is that there are numerous physicians
out there that provide an inferior brand of healthcare to their
patients. I plan to discuss in a later article on this site the many
reasons why physicians provide inferior healthcare, but for now we
will discuss just the biggest problem associated with the prescribing
of Lipitor.


I am convinced that if a conscientious physician would just take the
time to become fully educated on the science behind how Lipitor works,
then that physician would immediately curtail or eliminate the
prescribing of Lipitor to their patients. The myriad of side effects
are well-documented but we should review them here so that we can
discuss the real issue.


1.) People using Lipitor have a 7% greater risk of cancer mortality.

2.) Lipitor increases the risk for depression.

3.) Lipitor causes rhabdomyolysis, a severe degenerative muscle
diseases that can lead to kidney failure and death.

4.) Lipitor commonly causes mild muscle aches and pains, flu-like
symptoms and back pain.

5.) Lipitor causes memory problems and joint pains.

6.) Lipitor causes impotence, abdominal pain, dizziness, and
constipation


All of the foregoing side effects are serious enough and certainly
demand consideration, but I believe that they are all secondary to the
most serious and fatal consequence of prolonged consumption of
Lipitor: congestive heart failure. In order to understand why Lipitor
causes congestive heart failure, we need to understand how it works,
so let's review that now.


Lipitor works by inhibiting the work of an enzyme that produces LDL
cholesterol in the liver. This enzyme is known as HMG CoEnzyme A
reductase. Inhibiting this enzyme reduces the body's synthesis of
cholesterol, but unfortunately this same enzyme, HMG CoEnzyme A
reductase, is required for the body's production of the critical
enzyme CoEnzymeQ10. Without HMG CoEnzyme A reductase, synthesis of
CoEnzymeQ10 is greatly depressed.


CoEnzymeQ10, also known as ubiquinone, is found in virtually every
cell in the human body. CoEnzymeQ10 plays a critical role in energy
production and performs powerful antioxidant activities. So when a
person takes Lipitor, they are very likely to lower their LDL
cholesterol, but at the same time they are depriving their body of a
critical life-sustaining enzyme. This would be similar to a person
adding water to their gas tank in their car in order to make sure that
their gas lines stay clean. While the water may very well clean the
gas lines, it will also rob the gasoline of it's ability to produce
energy, and the car won't run. Sure, Lipitor may keep your arteries
clean, but it will do it at the expense of energy production, and the
place where the energy-producing qualities of CoEnzymeQ10 are most
important is the heart.


The correlation between heart failure and CoEnzymeQ10 deficiency is
well established. If a person is suffering from congestive heart
failure, they will be shown to be deficient in CoenzymeQ10. One of the
books that I read at Borders was a book by a cardiologist named Dr.
Sinatra, and his book is The Sinatra Solution. In his book, Dr.
Sinatra states that cardiologists "must think of congestive heart
failure as an energy-starved-heart." The heart is energy-starved
because it is deprived of the CoEnzymeQ10 that it needs.


If you take Lipitor, you are starving your heart of energy, and if you
deprive heart of energy for a long period of time, you will eventually
hear your physician state that you have congestive heart failure.
There are only two options available to a person with congestive heart
failu eventual death or a heart transplant.


My first article concerning Lipitor discussed the marketing of Lipitor
by using the inventor of an artificial heart, Robert Jarvik, as a
pitchman. Is it coincidence that the inventor of an artificial heart
would be pimping a drug that destroys your God-given heart? I find it
difficult to believe that Jarvik or Pfizer would be so evil, but large
amounts of money can strangely influence people. Actually, the massive
ego of Jarvik probably allows him to believe that his artificial heart
is actually better than the one that God created.


Over the past year I have heard from a number of physicians who are
now treating patients for congestive heart failure secondary to use of
Lipitor. The number of cases of heart failure due to the use of
Lipitor will continue to grow until somebody, either the lawyers or
the FDA, notices and does something about the problem. But nobody
needs to wait for the lawyers or the FDA. You can take control of your
own healthcare. Rather than taking the poison, Lipitor, you can eat
right and exercise in order to reduce your cholesterol. We will
discuss the many choices that are superior to Lipitor in our next
article.
