Do You Really Want To Take That Statin Drug?

It is reported that 86% of Americans over the age of 65 are taking statins.  

YIKES!

Your heart health and those of whom you know and/or care about is very important to me.

The benefits of nutrition for the heart are remarkable.  

The non-drug approaches to reducing risk factors for heart disease are possible with the right nutritional supplement program.

Do you really want to take that Cholesterol Lowering Drug Lipitor?

Did you know that the design of the cholesterol lowering drug Lipitor is for those who can’t lower their cholesterol with diet and exercise alone??

Yet, often when someone is diagnosed with high cholesterol they are just given the drug without attempting first to educate about eating right and exercising more?

Did you know that people with liver problems should not take Lipitor? Yet, blood tests are often done on Lipitor patients because of liver issues actually caused by Lipitor ??

Side effects of Lipitor include: muscle problems including severe muscle pain, kidney problems, including kidney failure, liver problems, headaches, diarrhea, gas, rashes, constipation, upset stomach and pain.

Did you also know that Lipitor depletes the nutrient CoQ10?

CoQ10 is a remarkable nutrient that is actually essential for heart health.

My company produces an absolutely superb CoQ10 with resveratrol and 3x more CoQ10

Every single cell in your body requires CoQ10 to create energy, especially in the heart and the brain, resveratrol are the heart protective properties found in red wine, CoQ10 recycles and regenerates vitamin E, prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol up to 80%, reduces platelet aggregation and helps maintain proper blood viscocity.

Should you have these health issues CoQ10 can benefit you: history of heart disease, smoker, angina, arrythmia, peridontal disease, hypothyroidism, lowered immunity, chronic fatique syndrome, fibromyalgia, schizophrenia, alzheimers, mental decline, mitral valve prolaspe, kidney failure

Benefits of CoQ10 include: anti-aging benefits, helps control body weight, protects heart and blood vessels, loweres blood pressure, protests from cholesterol and chemo therapy, important for prevention and treatment of congestive heart failure, helps with macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, also assists treatment of MS, Parkinsons, Huntington’s disease and hereditary ataxia

Our company has announced an improved CoQ10 just for the heart of it!  This nutrient is impressive for the health of the heart and in all that it does for the energy of each and every cell in our body.  It is of particular significance if someone is medicating with Lipitor.  Lipitor and other statin medications deplete CoQ10 by up to 50%!

The Center For Nutrition shares why statin users should know about CoQ10

Get Your Vitamin D On – Dark Days Of Winter Can Be Lightened By…

The Dark Days of Winter ( however balmy – goodness, is it really January? ) can be lightened by:

B Complex – essential for brain and nervous system and happy moods

Stress Relief Complex – blunts cortisol that can cause anxiety reactions

St John’s Wort — helps balance serotonin in the brain

Vita D-3 — helps prevent depression

A little word on the street regarding Vitamin D:  

You may be aware of the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D … especially during the winter months

(not to mention how it contributes to prevention of bone loss, cancer, strengthening the immune system,  cardiovascular health and promoting good cholesterol !) 

What you may not realize is that there is a big difference in quality and the body’s ability to absorb Vitamin D.

In the testimony below,  a couple in Ohio – where they celebrate sunshine days perhaps 1/2 of the year tackled raising their Vitamin D levels.  The gentleman taking our Vita D3 (1000 IU per day) had better improvement than his wife taking megadoses from a prescription source, which are often very hard for the body to handle … AND he saved a whole lot more money too.  Our D is less than $8 per bottle ! After one year on mega doses her Vitamin D levels decreased. His on the other hand increased by 11 points!

Which Vitamin D would you rather take?

1.  Tom’s wife, Cathy, used a prescription amount of 50,000 IU daily, yup – that number is correct.

2.  Tom’s Vita D amount = 1,000 IU Vita-D per day = 7000 per week.

PLUS Vita-D in his Multi – Vitamin = 800 IU per day = 5,600 per week.

Tom’s Total Vita D per week = 12,600 IU per week

Another testimony shared the expertise of Dr Bevacqua and a therapeutic dosage approach:

My levels were at 23 which is pretty low.  Dr. Sandra Bevacqua had suggested that I take 20 Shaklee Vita-D3 for 2 weeks then go down to 10 daily for another 2 weeks and stay at 5 for a long time.  I did this for 6 weeks and my vitamin D level went up to 59.  Dr. Bevcaqua feels that everyone’s Vitamin D level needs to be minimum 70 for optimal health.

Take Care Of Your Liver. It’s The Only One You’ve Got!

I am your liver.

You only get one of me. Detox me once in a while will you?

Do you know how I benefit you?

OR

HOW to take care of me?

I store the iron reserves you need as well as lots of vitamins and minerals - without me you wouldn’t have the strength to carry on

I make bile to help you digest your food - without me you’d waste away to nothing

I detoxify poisonous chemicals you give me, alcohol, beer, wine and drugs; those prescribed, over the counter or illegal - without me your bad habits would kill you

I store energy like a battery by stock piling carbs, glucose and fat until you need it - without me your sugar levels would fall dramatically and you’d go into a coma

I made the blood in your system before you were born - without me you wouldn’t be here

I manufacture new proteins that your body needs to stay healthy and grow - without me you wouldn’t grow properly

I remove poisons from the air you breath,the exhaust smoke, pollution indoors and out – without me you’d be poisoned

I make clotting factors that stop the bleeding when you accidentally prick yourself - without me you’d bleed to death

I help defend you against germs that constantly enter your body - without me you’d be a sitting duck for every infection known to man.

Do me a favor and take care of me will you ?

I can’t tell you that I am in trouble until it’s too late

I scar easily – those scars are called “cirrhosis”.

Those scars come from the drugs and chemicals you take that actually harm me

Don’t drown me in alcohol.

All that touches your skin absorbs into me – be mindful of the toxins you put on your body

Everything you breathe I breathe too – don’t use aerosols

Don’t eat fatty foods

Detoxify me every once in awhile OK?

I actually have the ability to regenerate!

Remember, I do these things JUST for you:

metabolize fat
manage cholesterol levels
control your weight
cleanse your blood
destroy toxic chemicals 
remove unhealthy cells from the blood
improve your immunity
