For years, more than a dozen at least, I have been covering the statin drug issue. My focus has been to educate people about the serious risks of this drug class and to help them realize that what they are being told is not always correct.
Now, again, we have a new report on the fact that statins can raise your risk of getting diabetes.
In light of all the serious risks from this drug class perhaps you might wish to consider natural care approaches to the cholesterol conundrum.
In a related Atlantic article the writer says: "Long prescribed to reduce levels of cholesterol in the blood, high doses of statins might even end plaque build-up, according to researchers."
Why would you want the risk and expense of a drug when natural health approaches will do the job for you. Remember that arteriosclerosis did not appear on the scene until the beginning of the use of homogenization of milk in the 1950s.

In light of all the serious risks from this drug class perhaps you might wish to consider natural care approaches to the cholesterol conundrum.
An increased risk of diabetes among statin users was first seen in 2008, in a randomized controlled trial of the drug Crestor, says Vivian Fonseca, the American Diabetes' Association's president for medicine and science. A 2011 analysis in the Journal of the American Medical Association and a 2010 analysis in The Lancet also found an increased risk of diabetes among statin users.Complete article

Where do you go when you need womens health specialists? Do you rely on womens health magazines, or do you just ask your friends whenever you have a question that you don't know the answer to? Many women avoid either and prefer to use the internet instead as their sole source of information that deals with their health. There are a lot of great sites out there that you can search through to find more information on whatever health problem you may be experiencing.
"Why would you want the risk and expense of a drug when natural health approaches will do the job for you." I'm on your side. But, these "Big Pharma's" said that exercise and healthy diet alone won't work. I know they just said it because they will lose lots of money.
