How to Lower Cholesterol Naturally, Without Drugs
Will You Be Joining the Drug Stampede?
 edical spending to treat high cholesterol and other lipid disorders, increased 350% from $4 billion in 1996 to $18 billion in 2003. Statin drugs accounted for about $16 billion, 90% of this cost, (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality).
By 2003, almost one in three of Medicare patients was using a statin, a drug that has to be taken for the rest of the patient's life. Since the marketing budget for statins is at least one billion, this is just the start of a stampede to statins.
What is worrying is that the long-term effects of statins are unknown. What is known is that statins deplete the body of co-enzyme Q10, necessary for the functioning of the mitochondria present in every cell, particularly in muscle cells. Depletion of co-Q10 may be especially important because mitochondria make up 50% of the heart muscle.
Can you avoid this stampede to drugs?
The free e-book describes an alternative approach to lowering cholesterol recommended by an editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, (JAMA, July, 2003).
How to Lower Cholesterol Naturally, Without Drugs
How about this: to control cholesterol, the Portfolio Eating Plan doesn't tell you what foods not to eat. You already know what not to eat! The Portfolio Eating Plan tells you what foods you need to add to your diet to reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol. The four food groups in the Portfolio Eating Plan have long been known to improve the cholesterol profile.
What is new is the combination of all four food groups in one clinical trial to measure their combined impact on cholesterol. This trial was financed by the Canadian Government and carried out by a research group led by David Jenkins, M.D. at the University of Toronto.
Dr Jenkins and his team discovered that most people can control cholesterol just as well by eating common foods as by taking a prescription drug.
