Because pharmaceutical firms have been flooding the popular press with information about the statin drugs, the comparison of Policosanol and Statin drugs becomes very important. A newly fact is using Policosanol to reduce our cholesterol without statin drugs side effects. After comparing Policosanol with statin drugs, we will know that the best available natural product to protect against high cholesterol is Policosanol. Policosanol is a very compelling alternative to statin drugs because not only statin drugs have been documented to produce many undesirable side effects, but also there have been more trials conducted on Policosanol than for other prescription drugs. Policosanol performs equal to or better than simvastatin, pravastatin, lovastatin, probucol, or acipimox. The efficacy of Policosanol is indisputable.
All statin drugs have different side effects. They might be lipitor, zocor, pravacholÂ…etc. However, all the side effects are almost the same. Statins can result in muscle pain, weakness, and the impact on brain and central nervous system. Although having so many side effects, the statin drugs are still the most popular class of drugs prescribed to lower cholesterol. There are more than 13 million people taking statin drugs. In the statin study of Dr. Muldoon in Pittsburgh, after only half a year on the statin drugs, 100% of the participants suffered obvious declines in cognition.
A story on August 20th, 2002 from CNN reported that the anti-cholesterol statin drugs were found to cause nerve damage (polyneuropathy) in one in every 2200 patients. And for people over 50 using the statin drugs for over 2 years, the chances of nerve damage were 26 times higher than the normal population. Averagely, there are 6,000 people at risk for nerve damage each year. Besides, in the story, Dr. Gupta also mentioned that the same class of statin drugs had earlier been implicated in the myopathy problems and to the worst situation, there were dozens of deaths resulting from rhabdomyolysis.
In spite of the variously dangerous stain drug side effects to people, there is still a tremendous population taking statin drugs. Some people advocate that we should stop using all statin drugs immediately once we found those serious side effects
However, there is a tremendous population taking statins, and it is not common knowledge, even among prescribing physicians, that there can be very dangerous statin drug side effects in some people, and that the drugs must be stopped immediately at the first sign of those serious side effects.
After presenting the numerous side effects of statin drugs, we will ask what the best alternative is to lower blood cholesterol effectively as well as efficiently without having so many side effects. The answer is Policosanol. Policosanol is a novel ingredient extracted from sugar cane wax or beeswax. Policosanol is clinically proven safe, effective, and well-tolerated. It helps our liver control its production and breakdown of cholesterol. With specific clinical trials, Policosanol is safe to elderly people, diabetics, and the people with liver damage or high blood pressure.
In addition, Policosanol is much more cheaper than any other cholesterol lowering drugs. It only costs less than US$30, not like other cholesterol lowering drugs that cost about US$100.
