Side Effects of Lipitor
=======================

The side effects of Lipitor and other cholesterol lowering medications
(called statins) have been the subject of much controversy in recent
years. For this reason, many people are now looking for natural
alternatives to statins to avoid the possible Lipitor side effects.

What is Lipitor and how does it lower cholesterol?
Lipitor and other statin medications are prescription drugs that lower
LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Some of the other more popular ones are
Pravachol, Zocor and Mevacor. Some doctors recommend statin drugs even
for patients who don't have high cholesterol as a precaution.

Liptor and other statin drugs work by blocking the enzyme that your
liver needs to produce cholesterol. Although Lipitor has limited
effect on HDL (good) cholesterol, it does succeed in lowering your LDL
cholesterol. However, side effects of Lipitor can be very serious, and
doctors should be more cautious when prescribing it for their
patients.

What are the side effects of Lipitor?
In addition to the side effects common to most prescription
medications such as headaches, nausea and fever, other problems with
Lipitor can be much more serious.

FACT: An FDA approved statin called Baycol was recently pulled off the
market due to serious side effects and even deaths.

Two of the most troubling potential side effects of Lipitor include
extreme muscle pain and muscle disease (statin induced myopathy), and
serious liver problems.

Take a look at the following excerpts taken directly from the official
Lipitor web site:

"Lipitor is not for everyone, including those with liver disease or
possible liver problems". "Your doctor may do simple blood tests to
monitor liver function before and during drug treatment."

"Tell your doctor about any unusual muscle pain or weakness. This
could be a sign of serious side effects."

Other potential side effects of Lipitor:

In addition to serious muscle and liver problems much research has
shown that side effects of Lipitor could include sexual dysfunction
and performance problems, as well as memory loss, personality changes
and irritability.

Other concerns regarding prescription cholesterol lowering drugs:
1) While cholesterol lowering drugs do lower LDL (bad) cholesterol,
they have limited effect on HDL (good) cholesterol, and no effect on
triglycerides (fats), an equally important heart disease risk
indicator.

2) Statin medications decrease your body's supply of CoEnzyme Q10
(CoQ10), which is an essential nutrient for heart strength and
function.

3) There are natural cholesterol lowering ingredients, some of which
have been shown to outperform statins in lowering cholesterol, without
the possible side effects. Take a look at these natural ingredients to
the right.

Natural alternatives to Lipitor
Although Lipitor and other statin medications can lower cholesterol
levels, there are natural alternatives which may be a better, safer
option for you. There are natural nutrients that have been shown to
not only lower LDL cholesterol, but also lower triglycerides (fats)
and increase the good HDL cholesterol.

Some of these nutrients have actually been proven to outperform statin
medications, without the potential Lipitor side effects. Take a look
at some of these nutrients below:

Policosanol - a natural extract from sugar cane which has been shown
to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels as well as raise HDL (good)
cholesterol. More importantly policosanol has been proven to be free
of side effects, unlike the statins.

Guggulipid Extract - an ancient herb from India recently shown to
lower cholesterol levels and can also reduce triglyceride levels,
another risk factor for heart disease.

Green Tea Extract - green tea is widely used for many medicinal
purposes, and has been shown to reduce triglycerides as well as LDL
cholesterol, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. Green tea also has
antioxidants that can prevent heart disease, cancer and other
illnesses.

Tumeric Extract - much evidence points to the fact that tumeric may
lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, in addition to its
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

As with all health supplements, make sure you consult your physician
or other qualified medical professional before taking any cholesterol
lowering nutrients or supplement to avoid the many negative side
effects of Lipitor.

It is very important to remember that all pharmaceutical drugs,
although they can be beneficial, also come with possible adverse
reactions. Lipator side effects are no exception.

A natural alternative can offer similar cholesterol lowering results
without the side effects of Lipator and similar statin medications.
