I am 74 years old. 4 months ago I<br />

suffered a stroke that left me partially<br />

paralysed and unable to speak <strong>for</strong> a<br />

few hours. Since <strong>the</strong>n my memory<br />

hasn’t been <strong>the</strong> same. I´ve noticed<br />

that I´ve become more <strong>for</strong>getful and<br />

have a harder time recalling recent<br />

events. For <strong>the</strong> stroke, I was<br />

prescribed amlodipine, statins, and<br />

aspirin.<br />

You may be surpr<strong>is</strong>ed to hear that <strong>the</strong><br />

medications you’re taking are doing very<br />

little to prevent <strong>the</strong> recurrence of ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />

stroke, nei<strong>the</strong>r are <strong>the</strong>y helping in your recovery.<br />

These medications are still prescribed based on an<br />

outdated model of <strong>the</strong> body which compares <strong>the</strong><br />

blood vessels to pipes. Today we understand that<br />

what goes on in arteries <strong>is</strong> more complex than what<br />

happens with clogged pipes.<br />

Strokes occur when a brain artery becomes blocked<br />

from plaque build-up on <strong>the</strong> walls of <strong>the</strong> arteries.<br />

The main source of plaque on artery walls <strong>is</strong> clotting<br />

cells that migrate to injuries on <strong>the</strong> walls of<br />

arteries, gradually building up and eventually<br />

causing blockages. The cause of injuries to <strong>the</strong> walls<br />

of arteries <strong>is</strong> inflammation. Inflammation <strong>is</strong><br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r name <strong>for</strong> cell injury.<br />

Contrary to popular assumption, cholesterol <strong>is</strong><br />

one of <strong>the</strong> most useful compounds in <strong>the</strong> body and<br />

<strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> no such thing as good or bad cholesterol.<br />

Cholesterol <strong>is</strong> like a drug produced by <strong>the</strong> body <strong>for</strong><br />

fighting inflammation and repairing t<strong>is</strong>sue damage.<br />

Cholesterol <strong>is</strong> not <strong>the</strong> cause of blocked arteries.<br />

The medications you´re taking may be causing more<br />

harm than good especially <strong>the</strong> statins <strong>for</strong> lowering<br />

cholesterol. Statins are without a doubt one of <strong>the</strong><br />

worst drugs prescribed today.<br />

Statins not only lowers cholesterol but also lowers<br />

one of <strong>the</strong> most vital chemicals <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> heart<br />

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 <strong>is</strong> needed by all<br />

cells in <strong>the</strong> body <strong>for</strong> generating energy, especially<br />

<strong>the</strong> active cells such as <strong>the</strong> heart. Low CoQ10 levels<br />

in <strong>the</strong> body <strong>is</strong> associated with chronic heart<br />

d<strong>is</strong>eases including heart failure and heart attacks.<br />

Some of <strong>the</strong> common harmful effects of Statins<br />

Q & A<br />

include muscle and joint pain, chest pain, nerve<br />

damage, liver and kidney d<strong>is</strong>eases. Cholesterol <strong>is</strong><br />

essential <strong>for</strong> normal brain function, and it comes as<br />

no surpr<strong>is</strong>e that statins cause many brain<br />

d<strong>is</strong>orders, including memory loss, depression, insomnia,<br />

irritability, irrational violence and<br />

aggression.<br />

Thinning <strong>the</strong> blood with aspirin while <strong>the</strong> arteries<br />

continue to block <strong>is</strong> a poor management strategy.<br />

The damage caused by aspirin far outweighs any<br />

likelihood of thinning <strong>the</strong> blood to prevent strokes.<br />

The long-term use of aspirin causes severe<br />

damage to <strong>the</strong> stomach, liver and kidneys. .<br />

The aim of stroke management should be to<br />

identify, treat, and control <strong>the</strong> sources of<br />

inflammation. There´s also <strong>the</strong> need to d<strong>is</strong>solve<br />

already <strong>for</strong>med plaque on arteries. Unhealthy<br />

nutrition <strong>is</strong> a major cause of inflammation in <strong>the</strong><br />

body, especially <strong>the</strong> consumption of vegetable oils<br />

such as sunflower and canola oils. O<strong>the</strong>r important<br />

causes of inflammation include toxins from industrial<br />

chemicals and everyday household items.<br />

Plaque in Arteries can be removed with a natural<br />

enzyme called serrapeptase (See Page 2)<br />

People worried about high cholesterol such as those<br />

with a strong family h<strong>is</strong>tory should check <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

cholesterol levels every 3 to 4 months and if high,<br />

should take a natural cholesterol regulator such as<br />

policosanol, <strong>for</strong> a few months.<br />

My advice <strong>is</strong> to stop <strong>the</strong> statins and aspirin but to<br />

keep an eye on your blood pressure and<br />

cholesterol levels.<br />
