			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This month&#8217;s heart health focus had me working on a childhood obesity project.  I had watched a <a title="PSA - childhood obesity" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUuu5CODEmg" target="_blank">series of Public Service Announcements</a> while surfing the net. One video had a child talking about how her Dr had told her she had hypertension. The PSA&#8217;s were touted as controversial. They should be. Childhood obesity is really alarming.  Since, I have been wondering what do they do for these kid?  Medicate them?</p>
<p>I did more net surfing and found this <a title="weighty matters" href="http://www.weightymatters.ca/2010/07/chewable-lipitor-candy-for-kids.html" target="_blank">article</a>, which led to more <a title="kid friendly chewabl lipitor" href="http://vigorchiropractic.com/kid-friendly-chewable-lipitor/" target="_blank">articles</a> and I found myself rather mortified</p>
<p>A CHEWABLE Lipitor??   Really?</p>
<p>Lipitor is the BIGGEST selling drug in the world.</p>
<p><strong>A comment was made on one of the above blog posts that said,</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>parents who medicate a child on predatory marketing and virtually no science should be investigated for child abuse.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote>
<p>I thought, I have to agree.</p>
<p>high cholesterol is not a disease.</p>
<p>side effects of lipitor include:</p>
<p>muscle problems, some of which can be extreme</p>
<p>anemia</p>
<p>acidosis</p>
<p>sexual dysfunction</p>
<p>immune depression</p>
<p>liver dysfunction</p>
<p>not to mention:  cognitive problems and memory loss</p>
<p>and we give that drug to 10 year olds?</p>
<p>Statin drugs commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol reduces levels of the nutrient <a title="CoQHeart" href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20685" target="_blank">CoQ10 </a>by 50%.  Think of <a title="CoQHeart" href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20685" target="_blank">CoQ10 </a>as the much needed energizer bunny for each and every one of your cells. Reduced cell energy can actually compromise the function of your heart.</p>
<p>Remind me again how Statin Drugs are good for heart health?</p>
<p>If someone is choosing to be on the medication Lipitor it&#8217;s my role to <a title="CoQHeart" href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20685" target="_blank">at least offer a quality CoQ10.</a></p>
<p><a title="CoQ10" href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20685" target="_blank">Our CoQ10 </a>has tripled its dosage after preliminary research shows that 100 mg of CoQ10 reduces muscle aches, often associated with statin drug users by 40%.</p>
<p>Our product also offers anti-oxidant protection and an olive oil based delivery system.</p>
<p>Order retail <a title="CoQ10 w/ resveratrol " href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=20685" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Just a thought,  <a title="membership gets you discounts" href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/join.html#/member" target="_blank">a membership</a> saves you 15%</p>
<p>and keep in mind that one can put this product on auto-ship and save an additional 10%.</p>
<p>We also offer a <a title="Heart Health Solutions" href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/products.php?sku=82075" target="_blank">three pronged heart health solution</a> that includes CoQ10, Fish OIl and a product that can reduce cholesterol naturally.   One can do this lower their cholesterol thing with medication.</p>
<p>Who do you know that is taking statin drugs?  Will you share the above information with them?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>It is reported that 86% of Americans over the age of 65 are taking statins.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>YIKES!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Your heart health and those of whom you know and/or care about is very important to me.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The benefits of nutrition for the heart are remarkable.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>The non-drug approaches to reducing risk factors for heart disease are possible with the right nutritional supplement program.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do you really want to take that Cholesterol Lowering Drug Lipitor?</strong></p>
<p>Did you know that the design of the cholesterol lowering drug Lipitor is for those who can&#8217;t lower their cholesterol with diet and exercise alone??</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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 ??</p>
<p><strong>Side effects of Lipitor include:</strong> muscle problems including severe muscle pain, kidney problems, including kidney failure, liver problems, headaches, diarrhea, gas, rashes, constipation, upset stomach and pain.</p>
<p><strong>Did you also know that Lipitor depletes the nutrient </strong><strong><a title="Our NEW CoQ10" href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/welcome.html#/pop_new_coq10" target="_blank">CoQ10</a></strong><strong>?</strong></p>
<p>CoQ10 is a remarkable nutrient that is actually essential for heart health.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Our New CoQ10" href="http://karen-hanrahan.myshaklee.com/us/en/welcome.html#/pop_new_coq10" target="_blank">My company produces an absolutely superb CoQ10</a> with resveratrol and 3x more CoQ10</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Should you have these health issues CoQ10 can benefit you</strong>: 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</p>
<p><strong>Benefits of CoQ10 include:</strong> 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&#8217;s disease and hereditary ataxia<br />
