Dr Whiting on Dangerous Drugs

September 6th, 2010 -- Posted in cholesterol medications | 10 Comments »

Dr Whiting on Dangerous Drugs. Modern medicine has sadly, become almost totally drug driven. Many of these dangerous drugs are over-prescribed. This has and will continue to cause many problems for patients. Many drugs have dangerous side effects and when combined with other drugs, they can be deadly. Some of the most common drugs that have been or should be removed from the market include the digestive drugs prilosec and nexium. Prilosec and nexium so completely destroy stomach acids that protein digestion and mineral absorption are almost impossible. Prilosc and nexium, among other similar prescription and over the counter ant-acids solve the digestive problem in the worst possible way. Prilosec and nexium destroy natural stomach acids, which in turn prevents the formation of key enzymes needed for the digestion of foods. There are natural alternatives to these dangerous drugs. Athritis drugs such as Celebex remain on the market in spite of the overwhelming evidence that it greatly increases your risk of heart disease and gallbladder disorders. Celebrex, like Vioxx and Bextra, which were removed from the market, should also be gone. Celebrex, Vioxx and Bextra all greatly increase your risk of heart disease and other disorders. Taking Celebrex, Vioxx or Bextra have already caused thousands of potentially deadly health problems. Since there is a natural alternative to drugs like Celebrex, Vioxx and Bextra that can regulate inflammation, the use of these dangerous drugs is unwise. Statin drugs, a group of drugs designed to regulate cholesterol levels in the blood are also one of the most dangerous groups of drugs. In fact Statin drug users are required to take routine blood tests to check for permanent liver damage. Since the liver is responsible for regulating cholesterol in the first place, taking Statin drugs makes little logical sense. The Statin drug Crestor, like many others, can greatly increase your risk for heart disease. In fact Crestor at just 200 mg per day, a low dose, can increase your risk of heart disease by 50 percent. A dose of Crestor at400 mg per day increases your risk of developing a heart problem by over 100% !!! Natural alternatives that help detoxify and nourish the liver, make the use of these dangerous Statins unnecessary in most cases. Diabetes is the number one epidemic disease in the world, with a new case being diagnosed every 30 seconds!!! Drug companies have worked overtime to find drugs that will treat the diabetic but not cure them. Dangerous Drugs like Avandia and Januvia are among those new drugs. Januvia one of the newest, has serious side effects already and Avandia has proven to be far more dangerous than any potential benefit. Drugs such as Avandia and Januvia can increase insulin production, the very last thing most type II diabetics need. By using Avandia and Januvia you put further stress on the beta cells of the pancreas as well as the insulin receptor site cells. As long as doctors continue to prescribe such dangerous and ineffective drugs like Avandia and Januvia, diabetics will never gain control over their disorder and will certainly never get well. Our natural alternatives to these dangerous drugs have helped thousands of diabetics to lead a normal, healthy life with normal blood sugar and insulin levels.

You are probably going to use this forever, of course there is no laws saying you HAVE to take them, that’s a personal choice but you need to make an informed decision based on the pros and cons of taking vs not taking.

Cholesterol medication and red yeast rice not working for my father – any natural suggestions?

September 3rd, 2010 -- Posted in cholesterol medications | 8 Comments »

Hi, my father recently had his second stent put in; he had gone off his lipitor and the doctors said he’d better get back on it. The side effects were so bad (weakness, pain in limbs) he had to stop taking it. I did some research and told him to take red yeast rice and Co-Q10, but he’s still having bad effects. I’m wondering if there are other ways (besides diet – he’s been on a pretty lean diet for a while & exercises 30 minutes/day) to reduce his cholesterol? Thanks.

That would probably be the reason Red Yeast Rice didn’t work for him… he’s allergic to the Statins (which are naturally occurring in RYR). The muscle pain/weakness is a semi-common allergic reaction to the Statins that can contribute to liver and/or kidney problems if they aren’t stopped.
He should stay off the Statins and RYR unless he wants to contribute more to his liver/kidney problems that they have been contributing to.

That being said, some of the most beneficial natural products for Cholesterol health are Policosanol, Beta Sitosterol, Omega 3 and 9 Fatty Acids (typically in Fish Oil, Flax Oil, and Olive Oil), Guggul, Niacin, Lecithin, Garlic, PhosphatidylCholine, and any good soluble fiber. Each of those help with different aspects of Cholesterol health, so you may need a variety of them… try one or two of them out. Aside from that, there’s always the standard plan of diet and exercise, but that’s normally just increasing soluble fiber (veggies, fruits, grains, etc) and decreasing bad foods (some sugars, certain fatty foods, etc). Good luck!
