The NIGHTMARE statins could cause in your EYES
There’s been so much bad news about statin drugs lately… that I’m absolutely FLOORED anyone’s still taking them.
Seriously… from pain to sex problems to memory loss… you pretty much have an ENDLESS list of reasons NOT to fill the prescription.
Yet MILLIONS do, every day.
And many have NO IDEA of the true dangers – because as a new report shows, conventional medicine has been working overtime to COVER THEM UP!
These cholesterol-lowering drugs have been on the market for years now… yet the risks we should have known from the beginning have emerged only slowly.
And the perfect case in point is VISION LOSS… particularly due to the lens-blurring condition known as cataracts.
Didn’t know that was a risk? MOST people don’t!
So, allow me to share what’s REALLY going on here… as well as another better option for cholesterol!
Here’s one of the DIRTIEST secrets of the cholesterol meds known as statins…
They’re pretty much GROWTH SERUM for cataracts!
You could have crystal-clear, perfect vision BEFORE you take the meds.
But after? All bets are off!
You could go from ZERO hint of cataracts at all… to URGENTLY needing surgery in a flash.
And the new report shows how EVERY major authority in conventional medicine has known about this danger for years.
But they’ve DRAGGED their feet when it comes to alerting YOU.
The new report from The People’s Pharmacy finds that studies began showing signs of cataract risk almost immediately — the very FIRST year the very FIRST statin was approved.
That was back in 1987… and the risk has NEVER gone away.
One report in 2013 found statin users have a 27% increased risk of cataracts… while a study the previous year found the risk jumps to 50% in people with diabetes.
Bear in mind that while these drugs DO lower cholesterol levels… they DON’T always cut heart risk.
And they’ve NEVER been proven to significantly save or extend lives, either.
But they’re pretty good at growing cataracts and causing other problems… including diabetes!
Here’s my take…
Don’t stress LDL cholesterol if it’s a little high… especially if you have NO other signs of health risk or heart problems.
Despite what you’ve heard… it’s NOT the most important factor when it comes to cardiovascular health.
Heck, it’s not even the most important factor in cholesterol!
That distinction goes to triglycerides… which truly ARE dangerous and SHOULD be controlled.
Statins won’t do a thing about them, but one of my favorite natural therapies… called policosanol… could help gently lower serum cholesterol AND slash triglycerides.
I like taking it in combination with niacin (a.k.a. vitamin B3) for maximum protection.
