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.

These Drugs Pose Brain Fog, Impotence and Heart Attack Risks

If you want to increase your risk of a heart attack, make sure you
take your statin drug every day.

Of course, you might not even know you're having a heart attack
because those statins can give you global amnesia, too. Just ask Dr.
Graveline, a retired physician and former astronaut, who got hit with
global amnesia twice while taking Lipitor. Lipitor is the #1 selling
drug in the US with sales of $6.6 Billion a year.

He wrote a book about it. The second time he had no memory of
attending medical school! He couldn't remember his wife and children.
His wife had to use milk and cookies to entice him to come into the
house...he had no idea who she was at the time!

Many others have experienced faltering memory. In some cases, enough
of the amnesia persists that the victim had to quit working. Picture a cross-country tractor trailer driver suddenly not knowing where he is!

Statins lower cholesterol. Well guess what...our brains need
cholesterol to function properly.

And as is noted in Canadian inserts for statins, they significantly
lower CoQ10 levels. Our hearts slurp up CoQ10 to keep up its high
requirements for ATP. When you don't have enough, your heart can quit
on you. It happens all the time.

And if that isn't enough...men need cholesterol to make testosterone.
Without enough testosterone, men can lose libido and lose their
erections, too.

So let's recap: heart attacks, total or partial memory loss, and no
wood.
