Adverse Effects of Various Heart Drugs

Adverse Effects of Various Heart Drugs www.udoerasmus.com

We now know that cholesterol contributes to heart disease ONLY when it is oxidized, or subjected to free radical damage!Cholesterol damaged by free radicals is taken up by white blood cells called *macrophages* and deposited in fatty *streaks* on the artery walls. This fosters plaque buildup in the arteries and is key in the development of heart disease.http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/FreeRadicals.htmlPrescription Drugs-Beta blockers and calcium channel blockers are the mainstay of conventional treatment for heart disease, angina, and even cardiac arrythmias for millions of people.Calcium channel blockers tend to relax artery walls and lower blood pressure by blocking the entrance of calcium into cells!However---they also block essential *functions* of the heart and blood vessels. In numerous studies, patients taking large amounts of calcium channel blockers had a 60% higher death rate!One "alternative" to calcium channel blockers is MAGNESIUM!Magnesium accomplishes essentially the same *results* as prescription drugs; i.e. relaxation of the smooth muscles of the arteries and reduced stress on the myocrdium--but in a natural way! I recommend increasing your daily intake of potassium and potassium-rich foods. Optimum potassium levels assist in correcting sodium imbalances leading to high blood pressure. http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Magnesium.htmlBeta blockers are often given to treat high blood pressure-They work by blocking the ability of your heart to respond to epinephrine and adrenaline, which stimulate your pulse rate and blood pressure, elevating both.They are meant to *weaken* the heart so that blood pressure is *lowered* and heart pain reduced. Beta blockers can be beneficial for temporary relief, but that's not how they're used!Virtually every doctor I know prescribes them indefinitely! Anti-hyperlipidemic drugs are given to lower cholesterol levels. These drugs all have dangerous side effects and again, there is little evidence that they reduce your heart attack risks!Statin drugs such as Mevacor and Zocor are the the most popular of lipid-lowering drugs.They reduce the production of cholesterol in the liver and "alter" the way LDL cholesterol "enters" the cells.According to the "Physician's Desk Reference" (PDR), side effects include liver toxicity,and muscle inflammation, gastrointestinal symptoms, and an increased risk of cataract formation.A significant side effect of statin drugs not mentioned in the PDR is a reductionin your body's production of Coenzyme Q10.CoQ10 is essential for healthy heart muscles. Co-Q10 is more prevalent in your heart than any muscle in the body!!Colestid and Questran (resins)--absorb bile acids from cholesterol in the intestinal tract and cause them to be excreted, lowering cholesterol levels circulating in the blood.Resins have considerable side effects---constipation, nausea, bloating, and, more seriously, reduced absorption of vitamins A,D,E, and K.In the long run, these deficiencies may cause bleeding, disorders and vision problems!Atromid-S actually INCREASED deaths from non-cardiac causes,primarily CANCER! A Safe Natural Approach:We now know that cholesterol-lowering drugs have dangerous side effects and there is scant research that they lessen the risk of heart attack!There are safe alternatives that address the CAUSES of heart disease, not just the symptoms! They work to prevent and even reverse heart disease.A low-fat moderate protein diet abundant in fruits and vegetables, a high-potency, antioxidant-rich multivitamin regimen, *essential* fatty acid supplementation along with moderate exercise greatly reduces your risk. I recommend this program to all patients, not just those with heart disease!

Elaine,

I just wanted to let you know that I've really appreciate the articles you post. I'v been learning alot. Some of it I already knew.

There is a product I want to tell you about it's called E7. I've been taking it for a while now and I quite impressed with it. I have taken many dietary suppliments with ok results, but none of them compared with this stuff. I'm including the website address, let me know what you think.

Hi --I don't know about this blocker ---or that blocker-------BUT

Just to let you know what works for me---Coq10---bigtime (at least 60MC/day)--Hawthorne (extract) big time.

For heart palpitations ---or irregular heartbaet--Ginko extract (always have on hand)Vandy <sdoceanbeach wrote:
