If you or someone you know has elevated cholesterol, chances are your doctor will prescribe a statin medication such as Zocor or Lipitor. As patients we trust our doctors and are compliant, oft times asking few questions. We fear the effects of high cholesterol; a heart attack or stroke.
As many as 60-70% of people taking a statin drug will discontinue their treatment due to side effects, most which are preventable. Most of us are probably unaware that medication side effects are the 4th leading cause of death in America. As patients we have the right to questions our physician and we have the right to be advised of alternative natural therapies.
The usual statin dosage given to a patient is very likely to be too strong, especially if given to a woman, senior, or those with medication sensitivities. Plainly, the dosage of this medication is not in sync with the individual patient.
Jay Cohen has written a book that has been meticulously researched and documented from a myriad of sources. What You Must Know About Statin Drugs & Their Natural Alternatives provides sound evidence- based knowledge on proven strategies to reduce cholesterol by using a combination of traditional and alternative therapies.
There lies much uncharted territory in the studies of cardiovascular disease both in causes and prevention. Patients need to take an active part in their healthcare and they need to be educated consumers. We all need to assert our rights as patients and ask more questions. We deserve to get honest answers. My Rx to anyone who is concerned about their cholesterol, statin medications, and alternatives to conventional treatment is to read this book and recommend that your doctor read it also.
