Just another reason why people should question what they are told by commercials and the pharmaceutical companies that produce them. Not only do the statin drugs prescribed to lower “bad” cholesterol have serious side effects, the drugs may only have an effect in 1 out of 100 users. It would be extremely interesting to see the double blind study on the short and long term health results of the 99 users that the drugs had no beneficial effect. The fact that drug companies are now targeting children with these same drugs is even more alarming.

The fact that drug companies are now targeting children with these same drugs is even scarier.  Hopefully parents will wake up before it’s too late.

“My doctor recommended that I start medication for high blood pressure, why I asked?  I was already on medication for cholesterol!  In 2002 my blood pressure was 196/108; the cholesterol medicine had caused my levels to go from 235 to 265.  I decided to change my medication.  By doing so, I started having severe muscle aches.  I refused to take my cholesterol medication any longer as I was at 217.  I always felt extremely tired in the early afternoons and needed naps!

I started the Nutrition Response Testing program and my cholesterol level has dropped to 195 and seems to be staying there!  I no longer take high blood pressure medications and my blood pressure has dropped to 105/72 – 118/81.  I no longer feel the need to take an afternoon nap.  I have also lost several unwanted pounds and I have started eating healthier!”
