I have an interesting little story for you:
Back in the 1960's the Japanese discovered a substance that inhibited cholesterol production...so they decided to study it further.
And they were horrified at what they saw.
Animal studies showed that this substance was SO deadly and toxic that the Japanese concluded it had no viable medical use.
So what did they do?
Sold it to Merck, the American drug company of course...
...who ignored the risks, pursued using the substance anyway for use in humans, and sold us all down the river telling us that it was safe with flawed studies sold by paid doctor endorsements.
And they've raked in hundreds of billions of dollars.
This deadly substance became known as a class of drugs called statins.
This poison now goes by the names Mevacor, Lovastatin, Pravastatin, Fluvastatin and Simvastatin.
Here are the documented side effects in humans of this substance that was so deadly to animals:
Liver damage
Reduced libido
Slowed reactions
Cancer
Stroke
Intestinal diseases
Depression
Antisocial behavior
Accidents
Suicide
...and much more
These drugs "work" by blocking your body's production of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)...
... which is needed for normal functioning of your heart!
How's that for a kicker? Lower cholesterol is "supposed" to mean reduced heart disease risk, but these drugs destroy your body's ability to produce an essential heart enzyme!
To the tune of over $60 billion dollars spent on statins each year.
That's effective marketing for you.
But isn't cholesterol BAD?
Thanks to expensive, effective drug marketing efforts, many people are completely terrified of cholesterol and see it as an automatic increased risk of heart disease.
But that's not true.
Amazing what advertising will do...it can get people to believe a complete falsehood is actually true. Even if it's the exact opposite of the truth.
Here's the REAL truth about cholesterol:
==> Cholesterol serves some vital needs in your body -- most notably it's used to make hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenaline and cortisol; it acts as a healing salve for injuries and tears in your blood vessels; plus it makes up the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects your nerves.
Contrary to we've been led believe, LDL cholesterol (low density lipoproteins) is not the bad guy people think it is.
We've all been lied to. Because LDLs carry cholesterol through the bloodstream and deliver it to your cells that absolutely need it....
Cells in our blood vessels. Cells in our livers, our brains, our hearts, our sexual organs...cells all over our bodies rely on it, in fact.
Because HDLs circulate through the bloodstream, pick up any excess cholesterol and bring it to your liver to be recycled.
So the truth is both HDLs and LDLs are GOOD guys.
What CAN spell trouble (and a heart disease risk) is when you have an unhealthy ratio of them. A good healthy ratio of HDL to LDL is about 4:1.
Safe, effective cholesterol solutions
Luckily, there are safe, natural ways you can keep your cholesterol ratio in line.
Unlike deadly statins, these options are free of side effects and are an itsy bitsy, teeny weenie fraction of the price!
Talk about a win-win.
Here they are:
1- Great tasting foods that get cholesterol in line
Refined carbs and saturated fat can both contribute to elevated cholesterol.
Plus, since fiber acts like a broom in your body to help sweep away excess cholesterol, a diet low in fiber can add to a cholesterol problem as well.
So it's crucial to minimize refined carbohydrates and excess saturated fat and maximize natural dietary sources of fiber.
The Great Taste No Pain system can guide you the entire way to normal cholesterol levels and ratios.
The straight-forward GTNP manuals show you ALL of the dangers of eating too much saturated fat and refined carbs, and help encourage a more balanced diet including lean proteins, plus fiber-rich fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and legumes.
And the best part is Great Taste No Pain truly lives up to its name -- every single dish in the recipe book is mouth-wateringly delicious.
2- Get a healthy essential fatty acid for balanced cholesterol
When you eat too many Omega-6 EFAs and too few Omega-3s (like most people today), you're encouraging inflammation. You're asking for pain and disease.
And you're not able to eliminate cholesterol as well as you should.
But when you bring the balance closer to the ideal 3:1 range, the Omega EFAs act together in harmony to keep inflammation low in your body and help you get rid of excess cholesterol.
VitalMega-3 can help you achieve this optimal balance.
Based on recent studies, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported decreases in cholesterol of up to 20% in just 10 DAYS by boosting Omega-3 EFA's through diet and supplementation.
According to scientists at the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL), the recommended daily intake of Omega-3 is at least 650 mg/day of EPA+DHA combined for health maintenance and to prevent deficiency.
VitalMega-3 is a pharmaceutical-grade molecularly distilled fish oil that delivers a giant 1,200 mg of medical-grade Omega-3s in each and every daily serving.
3- Probiotics help reduce blood cholesterol, too
Probiotics can help reduce blood cholesterol by creating acids that counter cholesterol production, by breaking down bile acids so excess cholesterol is used up to make more, and by actually eating cholesterol!
And when it comes to a probiotic that's up to the cholesterol-lowering job, there's no better choice than Super Shield multi-strain probiotic formula.
One of Super Shield's strains of bacteria, Lactobacillus Acidophilus DDS-1, is a powerhouse when it comes to fighting cholesterol.
L. Acidophilus DDS-1 eats cholesterol like I mentioned above, plus it also helps digest proteins and carbs, and produces B vitamins, folic acid, and lactase (which reduces lactose intolerance).
Don't think for one minute longer that liver destroying statin drugs are your only option for elevated cholesterol.
They are NOT.
Let Great Taste No Pain, VitalMega-3 and Super Shield help reduce your cholesterol safely and naturally...for a tiny fraction of the cost of expensive statin drugs...
...and do it SAFELY.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS: Peter lowered his own cholesterol better than the drugs did:
Hi Sherry,
I am well past 70 years old and in earlier years I could eat most things and large meals without any problems.
Over the last year I started to experience stomach pains, pain in the back and in the right shoulder. Ultrasound tests showed no evidence of gall bladder trouble.
I had also been on statins for a year (cholesterol reading of 7.0). My Doctor prescribed the antacid Lansoprazole 30mg which I took for a short period, but the stomach problems persisted (along with now slight dysentery).
I changed my diet myself to a low fat one. The symptoms improved but still persisted.
I went back to the Doctor and he prescribed doubling the dose of Lansoprazole to 60 mg. a day, but also in view of my diet change to low fat he said to stop taking statins as they could contribute to my stomach problems.
The double dose of Lansoprazole did not work--it completely upset my bowel movements as well as not improving the abdominal pains, so I stopped taking it.
It was then a few months ago I sent for your Great Taste No Pain. I must confess that after reading it, I did follow your advice and make up my own diet combining all the good foods that I like, bearing in mind your few "Golden Rules."
If I stray from your rules my stomach aches return.
Also I had noticed when I drank several pints of tap water per day they gave me a bellyache (probably because of the impurities and the chlorine). I now filter all my water through a Brita filter/jug and presto, no more aches.
All of what you say basically comes down to common sense.
Thank you once again for your invaluable advice.
Peter A.
P.S last week I went for a Cholesterol check--the result was 4.6 (down from 7.0) after eating my healthy diet!

As we age, our supply of digestive enzymes decreases. This is especially true for people who eat lots of processed food and hard to digest meals. Foods such as these require LOTS of enzymes to break them down and over time your body's ability to produce enough enzymes is diminished. Nothing can make you feel older than gas, bloating, heartburn and constipation from ineffective digestion and too few enzymes. Give your body the support it needs and feel great inside with Digestizol Max natural digestive enzyme supplement. Learn more about Digestizol Max and all the ways it can help you here.
