- I have often wondered if Bill Clinton's doctors had him
take the powerful heart nutrient, Coenzyme Q10, in addition to Lipitor
after his quadruple-bypass heart episode. This is serious.
-
- See, Statin drugs, like Lipitor (to artificially lower
cholesterol) will not only block the production of cholesterol, it will
also block the body's production of the CRITICAL nutrient Ubiquinone, more
commonly called CoQ10. Both cholesterol and Ubiquinone are found down
the same chemical constructional Pathway: "the Ubiquinone Pathway."
And it follows that when you reduce one... well, reader you, at
the greatest peril, reduce the other!
-
- Submarine "DIVE" klaxons should be going off
about now!
-
- See, Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) and/or the other, much
better absorbed, "Reduced" active form of Ubiquinone, called
Ubiquinol, are found -and used- in every cell! I don't exaggerate when
I advise that CoQ10 just may be the most important nutrient we consume
or produce in our body! This becomes essential knowledge when you remember
that both the production of CoQ10 and its conversion to Ubiquinol decreases
with age.
-
- FYI: Ubiquinone comes from the word ubiquitous - which
means "It's everywhere-It's everywhere"...because it is everywhere
in your body. This point, as we find out later, is not oversold.
-
- To continue, this extremely potent anti-oxidant (CoQ10)
is the #3 selling supplement behind Multi's & Fish Oil! This is saying
something because it is also an expensive supplement... especially the
more digestible "Reduced Ubiquinol" form. However, you should
only buy the Ubiquinol form because as you get older you stop producing
the enzyme necessary to metabolize the cheaper "Oxidized Ubiquinone."
More on this in a moment. The consensus in regard of this critical enzyme
is that it dramatically starts to disappear as young as age 20!
-
- FYI : If an advertisement just calls their product "CoQ10,"
it is the cheaper oxidized Ubiquinone form. Conversely, if it is the more
expensive Ubiquinol, they will call it "Ubiquinol" CoQ10 to let
you know it's the "good stuff." They want their "credit"
for value added, right? So remember, if it just says "CoQ10"
it's the cheaper stuff that you DON'T want... well, unless you're a teen-ager.
-
- There is also an even better -if more expensive- form
called "Hydrosoluble," a process which can be applied to Ubiquinone
or to Ubiquinol. This process makes the normally fat-soluble Ubiquinone
or the Ubiquinol, also Water-Soluble! This increases absorption considerably.
-
- Hydrosoluble Ubiquinol, though, is as much as twice the
price of regular Ubiquinol... so, if money's no object (...right...) then
get the Hydrosoluble Ubiquinol. If money is tight? Then get the regular
Ubiquinol; however, I would not buy the Hydrosoluble CoQ10 (Ubiquinone),
again, unless you're a teenager... but I must add, teenagers shouldn't
need supplemental CoQ10.
-
- What's the big deal about CoQ10? Quite simply, the nutrient
is critical for "energy production," so naturally it is concentrated
around the energy producing organelle in each and every cell, the Mitochondria,
plus several other cell organelles. Oh, and this is forgetting - all around
the heart of Bubba Clinton (remember him?).
- In fact, back to the heart, there is considerably more
CoQ10 found in that never relaxing organ as there is found in all other
organs! Unfortunately, as we age, remember, and produce less CoQ10, the
greatest and fastest decrease of same... is in the heart! In fact from
age 20 to 40 you will likely lose twice as much CoQ10 from the heart as
opposed to the liver or lungs!
-
- This deficiency in CoQ10 must almost surely lead to heart
disease... because you see, people who live to age 90 near invariably have
unusually high levels of CoQ10 measured. That this is not more common
knowledge provokes me to further suspect the duplicity of governments,
agencies, and institutions enthralled with corporate dollars and betraying
or abandoning their charge to do no harm.
-
- Don't misinterpret my tone... I love big corporations;
they can provide quality jobs and solid careers. I just insist they be
ethical - mammalian preferred to reptilian.
-
- Consider. Isn't it strange that a thing you take to
"avoid heart disease" can dramatically contribute to having that
same heart disease? This is especially disconcerting when you consider
that high cholesterol is not even a disease to start, though it can be
a reaction to a disease! See, cholesterol is actually trying to help you
and protect you when it responds to a real disease like arterial inflammation
(caused by crap consumed!) or, it may be some other very natural condition
which will never lead to heart disease!
-
- Yes! Isn't it strange how a saturated fat, blubber-eating
Traditional Inuit (Eskimo), even one with a very high total cholesterol
of 300, or so, will likely never have heart disease; however, a thin Marathon
runner with normal cholesterol can have a clogged-artery-heart-attack if
he does some or all of the wrong dietary things. 40 to 50% of the folks
who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol, fuh-God's sake! CNN's
Doctor Gupta doesn't tell you that, eh?
-
- This incongruity can easily be explained with the 1994
finding by the prestigious British Medical Journal, 'Lancet', proclaiming
-as I have written before because it bears repeating- that 75% of the crap
blocking your arteries is oxidized Unsaturated Food oils, like Soy &
Corn oil, which are commonly labeled "Vegetable Oil." This does
not include the unjustly maligned, healthful, and biologically important
Cholesterol... ...Additionally, you know what? I'd be willing to bet a
sizable sum that the remaining 25% of blockage material would not even
be there, but for the preceding 75%!
-
- What?! YeahYeahYeah... you're right, Lancet didn't call
the blockage material "Crap."
-
- Anyway, this Marathon guy with normal cholesterol, alluded
to earlier, eats the following...
-
- ... Insulin producing, inflammatory-causing sugar &
refined carbs
-
- ... Artery-clogging Polyunsaturated food oil like Soy,
Corn, Cottonseed, etc. -and don't confuse with healthful MonoUnsat oil
like Olive oil or the magical Coconut oil- ...gee Al, you mean all of the
thousands of "Registered" Dieticians are lying when they say
that Coconut Oil is bad for your heart because it is 90% solid Saturated
fat. Yes, actually I think "Registered" means they have a 666
tattoo "Registered," somewhere, under their hairline.
-
- ... Mineral-binding Phytates & Oxalates in Soy, bread,
cereal, pasta
-
- ... Mineral-binding, highly Indigestible Gluten in wheat,
barley, rye
-
- ... Heart-stopping TransFat found in Margarine &
Crisco and in virtually all commercially baked goods like Eric Cartman's
"Cheezy Poofs" & "Snacky Cakes"
-
- ... Oh yeah, and lots & lots of sweet fruit juice
to produce the insulin leading directly to Fructose Induced Insulin Resistance
and the associated Type II Diabetes and your garden variety arterial inflammation...
resulting in heart disease & strokes!
-
- ... And... let us not forget the sweet juice by-product
of fructose metabolism, uric acid, providing for that crippling Gout we
love so much. Ummm, hurts so good!
-
- Back to bad-diet "Marathon Guy? Well, like Jim
Fixx -and a host of other high performance athletic types who don't eat
right and eschew any form of supplementation- he keels over into a scurvy
skin-sack of over-exercised meat! That's the long and tall!
-
- Moreover, if Bubba Clinton's MD's did not tell him about
CoQ10, then SHAME ON THEM because, Jeez, he was the president of the United
-freakin'- States! They should pull out all the stops and recommend Ubiquinol
even if the Pharmaceutical industry -I'm guessing- discourages doctors
from mentioning this Ubiquinone issue at all!
-
- I mean, would doctors really keep this info from the
President just because they themselves have dropped to their knees for
the "Satanistas" of the Pharmaceutical Industry by keeping the
CoQ10 connection under the radar?
-
- On the other hand, if they did the right thing and put
Bubba on 2 or 3 hundred mg of CoQ10 daily, it might get noticed and then
folks might ask, "Hey, why did you tell Bubba and not tell us?"
Perhaps they told him but refrained from telling us... Perhaps they both
refrained from telling us! Conspiracy is FUN, eh?
-
- The Lipitor web site, by the way, only goes so far as
to tell you that a possible side effect might be muscle weakness (also
called "muscle-wasting")... but never mentions the cause is a
CoQ10 deficiency, brought on by the Lipitor! Though, more importantly,
it is that they don't mention that you yourself can do something about
it... like take Ubiquinol. More "diving Klaxons" are appropriate?
You bet!
-
- On reflection, I would really like to know why Statin-makers
don't just go ahead and put a couple of hundred mg of Ubiquinol in every
tablet. I can think of several wholly evil and nefarious reasons, but
it would just be speculation so I'll keep it to myself. Uh-huh...
-
- Regarding Lipitor-induced Muscle Weakness, here's an
illustration: My co-writing buddy Lehmberg's now deceased mother, Twyla,
who had COPD, could not raise her arms above her head after being on Lipitor
for a couple of years. Her MD assured her it wasn't the Lipitor.
-
- I recommended she become more adamant with her doctor
because I felt that for sure it was the Lipitor causing the problem. Predictably,
her MD was intractable. She decided to stop the drug on her own.
-
- Well, guess what? That's right!
-
- Within 2 weeks she could easily raise her arms above
her head. Her cholesterol went from 150 (WAY TOO LOW) to 220, which is
perfect for 76 year old women, in the aggregate, even though it was 20
points above the silly max total of "200" set, I'm betting, artificially
low... why? To sell more Lipitor!
-
- Yeah, that's right, reader. This is the dangerous chicanery
passing for "best practice" in an obviously psychopathic and
reptilian motivated "corpocracy"!
-
- Think about it, Reader! If the Statin induced muscle-wasting
is so bad you can't raise your arms - what's it doing to that other, single-most
important, muscle? Your Heart!
-
- As an aside, I was encouraged when months later Twyla
went to a different heart specialist and volunteered that she had stopped
taking Lipitor against her doctor's orders after experiencing muscle-wasting
and he'd said "Good, you didn't need it anyway"...so hey, there
may be some honest MD's out there.
-
- See, it is natural for old folk's cholesterol to increase
as they age; it protects them and, in fact, actually makes them feel better.
Low cholesterol has the potential to cause or exacerbate a host of diseases
and mood problems as I have shared with you many times.
-
- Constructively, then, here are my top 3 heart disease
prevention supplements:
-
- 1).. Ubiquinol --- take 50 to 400mg of Ubiquinol or the
Hydrosoluble form.
-
- 2).. Complex B-50 --- take one B-50 daily...you're taking
the whole B-50 (they're cheap) to primarily get the "Big 3 Heart B's"
(B-6, B-12 & Folic acid). These 3 will dramatically reduce the #1
heart "bad-guy"...the artery-corrosive amino-acid, Homocysteine.
-
- 3).. TMG --- take about a gram or so daily (it's cheap).
TMG works in synergy with the 3 B's above to reduce inflammation causing
Homocysteine...plus it does great things for your liver.
-
- FYI : Please read about the great & brave Harvard
MD, Dr. K. McCully who did the research that showed this connection between
reduced heart disease (caused by caustic Homocysteine) and taking adequate
B-6, B-12, Folic acid & TMG...it cost him his career and was the subject
of my very first NewsLetter & the name of his book "The Cholesterol
Myth" found at: http://www.alienview.net/ALLT1.html#CholesterolMyth
-
- OK, remember, all the supplements in the world won't
do as much good as cutting out the crazy crap that you eat, like Sugar,
sweet juice, refined carbs, Poly-Unsaturated Food Oil, Soy Isolate and
Trans-Fats like Margarine & Crisco.
-
- Closing, you must think, reader, that I hate America
because I expose how we are advised by registered Dieticians from the Government's
"New Food Pyramid" that several of those things we just identified
as harmful... are touted as "Health-Foods," according to them.
These include things like fruit juice, Soy & PolyUnsat Food oils...
-
- Yes that's right; and what is our ever-expanding "Nanny-State"
government but entirely trustworthy... Somebody better reset that popped
Sarcasm Circuit Breaker, eh?
-
- ...So, let me leave you on this cheery note. As you
assume the "position" before "The Man", thank Him profusely
for His loving protection, eh? Thank him when he imposes his imperialistic
CODEX on us: we, the out-classed, wholly disrespected, but unvarnished
and overpopulated masses...
-
- CODEX, remember, is a handy little mechanism -in our
best interest of course- which will require a doctor's prescription to
buy substandard vitamins or minerals at unnecessarily inflated prices...
but, oh yeah, don't forget to smile subserviently as he... "shows
you the instruments of your torture," eh?
