Alzheimer’s ‘n Parkinson’s Connection You May Find Alarming
© Lena Sanchez
More people are being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s, having heart attacks and strokes per capita
than ever in the history of mankind.
What is the connection?
Tens of thousands are taking cholesterol lowering
medications out of fear of having a heart attack,
stroke or heart disease if cholesterol isn’t lowered.
What is the truth?
Is it good to lower your cholesterol?
According to studies published in the last four years“…
low LDL cholesterol levels may actually increase
your risk of Parkinson's disease.” The study involved
236 people -- 124 Parkinson's patients and 112 controls.
The researchers measured all the participants' cholesterol
levels and gathered information regarding their smoking
habits and use of cholesterol- lowering drugs among
other factors.
Their findings; subjects with the lowest LDL levels had a
3.5-fold higher occurrence of Parkinson's than the
participants with higher LDL levels were less prone.
Conventional Medicine keeps saying that millions of growing
Cases of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s cases exist, yet they
say they haven't a clue why... The clue is there but it’s
being ignored! Doctors seldom ever study what happens
when they prescribe a drug, they depend on their drug
rep to fill them in... What I’ve watched happen tells me
that doctors, who never check things out, aim for an
LDL below 200, shown to cause the Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s
increase! No mystery there if they looked!
Is Alzheimer’s mistakenly being diagnosing?
Here is what Mayo Clinic Cardiologist Dr. Thomas
Behrenbeck stated: “Rare cases of memory loss have
been reported in people taking cholesterol- lowering
statin drugs, such as Lipitor. But these reports were
anecdotal and have not been substantiated by formal
testing of cognitive function. In most of these cases,
memory improved after the individuals stopped taking
the statins.”
The numbers are up in the thousands now!
“Not substantiated?” His statement tells me that further
testing is not necessary when the proof is with the
patients reaction to the drugs.
Advertisements pushing statin drugs to prevent Alzheimer’s
disease? TV ads state these drugs will prevent? How?
Another problem with statin drugs!
Your doctor will tell you that lowering your cholesterol will
stop your risk of heart attack, stroke or heart disease.
REALLY? Have you read the small print in the insert that
came with your cholesterol lowering drug? If not be sure
you do so now… The pharmacy must give you that insert
with your prescription. Go to the small print usually at
the last part of that information sheet and see what it
the drug company knows… Their drug does not work
for that purpose! Insert states; “This medication
has not been proven to prevent heart attacks,
strokes or heart disease.”
It is a known fact that statin drugs decrease the CoQ10 in
people taking them. Importantly, the heart as well as the
brain must have sufficient CoQ10 supplies to function
properly. Tests testing for CoQ10 found; after 8 weeks
of taking a statin drug the CoQ10 levels drop off 40%.
This fact alone starves the heart and brain of necessary
CoQ10!
An article published in the journal Biofactors,
cardiologist and researcher Dr. Peter Langsjoen says,
"The depletion of the essential nutrient Co q10 by the
increasingly popular cholesterol lowering drugs, HMG
CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), has grown from a
level of concern to one of alarm. With ever higher
statin potencies and dosages and with a steadily
shrinking target LDL cholesterol, the prevalence and
severity of Coq10 deficiency is increasingly noticeable."
The body manufactures cholesterol because it needs it
and only when the body’s ability to do that is interrupted
does it not produce effective amounts. Your body requires
certain amounts of cholesterol. Nobody know what his/her
body requires so what may be high for one body could be
exactly what another body needs to work correctly. One
size does not fit all as we are led to believe!
Who set the so-called normal numbers anyway?
When the first cholesterol drug came on the market I was
working as a medical office nurse for a very smart internist.
The average cholesterol numbers to aim for then was 350.
Good number, but that didn't sell enough drugs for the
pharmaceutical company - because the majority of people
have numbers from 250 to 350 - so they have gradually
lowered target levels until now the numbers are bordering
on death for most patients.
An Osteopath doctor, I worked with, when the first lower
numbers were given to the doctors, told me that with that
lower desired number - 250 - we would be seeing many
more heart attacks and strokes in the future due to such
a low target number. He explained to me that you cannot live
with cholesterol lower than 250 or 300 for very long without
the body going into some type of revenge and overworking
trying to produce more cholesterol thereby taxing the heart
and blood vessels throwing the rest of the organs off. We
are there now as the target killer number is 100 to 150.
I'm sure he wasn't aware of the brain damage happen at
the same time or he would have mentioned it.
How to prevent becoming a statistic?
Be strong! Stand up to your doctor and say NO to taking
cholesterol lowering drugs. High cholesterol does not kill
nor does it build plaque in your arteries, even though the
drug industry is selling that crock to the doctors of the
world. Inflammation and bad diets build up plaque and
cause heart attacks.
There are many independent studies that have been
done showing that inflammation kills, not cholesterol.
But for the most part you will not hear about them as
they are not released to the news media or doctor’s
and are suppressed by the drug industry. I have
managed to read two or three that you can find, if you
look really hard, that scientists have published but
only in medical science journals.
