68% More Gen X'ers Risking Erectile & Libido Dysfunction

Forgive me for hammering on the many problems of cholesterol lowering drugs of late. But the news keeps piling up on them. The news is really serious in its implications for both our nation and to the young men and women who could be seriously harmed by these problematic drugs.

Recent news reports indicate more men and women between the age of 20 and 44 could be losing their sex drives, if other medical reports are to be believed. The news is that sales of these drugs has increased by 68% to that age group.

In previous articles, I've noted how the popular cholesterol drugs can hurt patients in different ways:

• Memory loss, and amnesia
• Heart atttacks
• Erectile and libido dysfunction

Can the US afford to have a bunch of Gen X'ers & Gen Y'ers suffering from memory loss and reduced testosterone levels? Are we femininizing our society, turning men into wishy washy wimps?

With Alzheimer's Disease already a grave worry, what happens if we add to that a large number of Cholesterol-impaired brain-addled young adults?

Men need testosterone to maintain their masculinity. Women need a tiny bit to maintain their natural sex drive. All of us need fully functioning brains for as long as possible.

I fear for our future. There are so few voices crying out to stop this madness, with millions of prescriptions being written each year, destroying brains and vitality.

This is no joke. Physicians are becoming more aggressive in prescribing 'Limpitor' and the other statins. Meanwhile, medical bodies keep reducing the mythical number as to what is a safe level of cholesterol.

If you're concerned about your cholesterol, a much safer and effective solution would be fish oil and arginine. Neither will mess with your testosterone or your brain except to help them.

What Do ALL the Statin Cholesterol Drugs Have In Common?

They can flat out kill you, that's what. By flat out, it means you could be standing up one second and be laying flat on your back, or face down, the next. As Dr. Samuel Weigle told me one afternoon, "They lower cholesterol and cause heart attacks." he also told me that statin dugs are "the worst class of drugs out there."

It doesn't matter if it's Lipitor, Mevacor, Pravachol, Zocor, Crestor, or whatever. Each one blocks the spark plug to your heart. In as little as 3 months, you heart could be 25% less efficient. Keep taking the drug and the efficiency of your heart can keep dropping.

In one study at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, Lipitor significantly reduced CoQ10, the spark plug, in just 14 days.

Conclusions Even brief exposure to atorvastatin causes a marked decrease in blood CoQ10 concentration. Widespread inhibition of CoQ10 synthesis could explain the most commonly reported adverse effects of statins, especially exercise intolerance, myalgia, and myoglobinuria.

If you're cholesterol is a concern for you, you might start taking fish oil and arginine, instead. The fish oil cuts down any inflammation and arginine increases your good cholesterol. Your good cholesterol scubs your arteries clean.

Your good cholesterol also helps your brain, memory and libido (in men and women.)
