Rethinking Statins!

Some of you may have seen the recent Dr. Oz show with his guest Dr. Joseph Mercola. While Dr. Oz may represent a more "open-minded" mainstream (allopathic) medical doctor, Dr. Mercola has been researching and supporting more natural approaches to health for years. Although they are not always in full agreement, there is no denying Dr. Mercola's ability to stretch the brain of Dr. Oz even further!  

In a recent episode, Dr. Mercola discussed the three drugs he'd like to see us taking a lot less of, or avoiding all together, and statins made the list! Statins are prescribed for those with heart disease and high cholesterol to help thin the blood, thus preventing or decreasing heart attack risk. Statins are loaded with side-effects and risks. What's more, they are increasingly being prescribed to younger patients. Diet and exercise are still the safest and most effective ways to combat heart disease risk. There are also natural supplements, such as Coenzyme Q10, which have been shown to reduce risk. Be a careful evaluator of all prescription drugs-and supplements too. If you are under 45 with no family history of heart disease, you may want to try other alternatives before resorting to statins for your cholesterol. Always consult your licensed physician before implementing any changes to your healthcare routine.

From an emotional-spiritual perspective, heart health involves the ability to freely and openly give and receive love-including self-love! Our vein and artery health deals with living authentically-- our ability to openly express what we feel and the ability to release and resolve (dissolve!) anger. Working on such personal issues is one of the healthiest low-risk ways we can improve not only our health, but the quality of our lives and relationships as well!
