Why People Can't Lose Weight

Why
People Can't Lose Weight Part 3
What Are Statin Drug Side Effects?
Concern about high cholesterol levels has resulted in millions of people being prescribed one or more of a group of drugs called "statin" drugs, such as Lipitor, Zocor, etc., to lower their cholesterol levels.
Statin drugs chemically interfere with the normal operating basis of the body and this often results in serious side effects! Here are a few:
1) Statin drugs are known to cause muscle pains and inflammation around the muscle cells.
2) People using statin drugs experience muscle weakness and fatigue. In fact, statin drugs have been shown to break down muscle tissue which can be fatal if not caught soon enough.
3) Studies have also shown that patients placed on statins have experienced a measurable decrease in cognitive function (mental awareness and judgment) after only six months.
4) Statin drugs have also been shown to cause nerve damage (neuropathy).
The FDA requires that the pharmaceutical companies tell you about any possible side effects that a medication may cause. The pharmaceutical companies do this by providing you a booklet which has all this information when you get your prescription.
When referring to neuropathy, or any of the many terms used to refer to the various forms of this condition (see below), the booklet may read something like, "..possible numbing and tingling" or "...pins and needles."
Please review your prescription information and see whether it may be a cause and/or contributing factor to your neuropathy.
NEWLY UPDATED LIST OF CHOLESTEROL LOWERING DRUGS (STATIN DRUGS) KNOWN TO CAUSE NEUROPATHY AS A SIDE EFFECT:
Advicor, Altocor, Atorvastatin, Altoprev, Atorvastatin, Baycol, Caduet, Cerivastatin, Crestor, Fluvastatin, Lescol, Lescol XL, Lipex, Lipitor, Lipobay, Lopid, Lovastatin, Mevacor, Pravachol, Pravastatin, Pravigard Pac, Rosuvastatin, Simvastatin, Vytorin, Zocor.
These are the various terms for neuropathy that are found in the side effects listed for these statin drugs:
paresthesia: an unusual or unexplained tingling, pricking, or burning sensation on the skin.
neuritis: inflammation of a nerve, accompanied by pain, loss of reflexes, and muscle shrinkage.
neuralgia: an intermittent and often severe pain in a part of the body along the path of a nerve, especially when there is no physical change in the nerve itself.
vertigo: a condition in which somebody feels a sensation of whirling or tilting that causes a loss of balance.
dysesthesia: a condition in which light physical contact of the skin causes pain; abnormal sensations on the skin that can include burning, prickling, numbness, or pain.
hypoesthesia: an unusually reduced sensitivity to touch; numbness. Also called hypesthesia.
hypalgesia: reduced sensitivity to pain. Also called hypoalgesia.
hyperalgesia: increased sensitivity to pain or enhanced intensity of pain sensation; excessive sensitiveness to pain.
hyperesthesia: a heightened sensitivity of a part of the body such as the skin, or of any of the senses.
NOTE: If you're taking any of the above medications, you need to speak to your doctor about getting off of them and replacing them with a natural supplement.
Minimally, your doctor should put you on a medication that does not cause neuropathy.
Studies have also shown that patients placed on statins have experienced a measurable decrease in cognitive function (mental awareness and judgment) after only six months.
The trouble with using drugs to lower cholesterol is that they are man-made chemicals that are an unnatural and alien substance in the body.

Tired of Being Medicated? Build Healthy Nerves
So many people have nerve damage,
neuropathy and a host of other nerve problems which are painful and
lower the quality of one's life. What is the common
solution? There are many medications on the market that
attempt to cover up the symptoms. I recently saw a commercial for
Lyrica and Diabetic Neuropathy on TV. I've also heard from many people
regarding the side effects of this particular drug and in fact had to
work with someone who had a lot of trouble getting off the drug (she was
taking if for another reason) - the side effects of withdrawal for this
person was as bad as the side effects of taking the drug.
Any kind of nerve problems
indicates that the nerves are unhealthy. Giving the body the
nutrients (vitamins) it needs to build health nerves seems is a long
term solution. Yes, it doesn't cover up the symptoms of some of
these health problems and it takes a bit of time, but in the long run,
the nerves are healthy. Healthy nerves don't burn, aren't numb,
don't tingle, aren't painful, don't feel cold or hot when no reason to
do so. Healthy nerves don't make you lose your balanced or
coordination.
