Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the Number 1 killer in the world (killing more people than cancer, Alzheimer’s, AIDS and accidents combined).

Here are some chilling facts:
• CVD kills 3,500 Americans every day or 1.3 million every year - equivalent to the entire population of Philadelphia or Phoenix!

• 1 in 3 Americans will die due to cardiovascular disease.

• Women are 4 to 6 times more likely to die of heart disease than of breast cancer.

• The leading cause of cardiovascular disease is high cholesterol.

• 105 million Americans suffer from high cholesterol.

• Improving HDL, LDL, and triglycerides at the same time is the most effective way to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Doctors normally prescribe medication to help patients lower their high cholesterol levels. These medicines, called statins (like Lipitor and Zocor) are somewhat effective at lowering LDL (the bad cholesterol) but they also introduce dangerous side effects such as memory loss, sense of imbalance, muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis), kidney failure and liver failure, which of course results in death.

Bios Life is a patented, clinically-proven, natural solution to total cholesterol care.

Many doctors, after discovering Bios Life, have switched their patients from statin medications to this natural product.

Some of these doctors share their testimonies in this video, which was filmed a few years ago.

Since then, the Bios Life 2 which is mentioned in this video has been upgraded to Bios Life Complete. Whereas the older Bios Life 2 had one mechanism to lower bad cholesterol, the newer Bios Life Complete has four!

The new Bios Life has been clinically proven to do the following:
Lower LDL (bad cholesterol)
Increase HDL (good cholesterol)
Lower Triglycerides (fat in your blood)
Help control Diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels

Apart from all these life-saving benefits, Bios Life has one main “side effect” - weight loss - so this is really a “side benefit”!

A recent study presented at the American Heart Association Annual Conference concluded Bios Life reduced the post-prandial glucose levels 28% and HbA1c levels 15%; indicating Bios Life provides a natural option to improve diabetes management.

Cholesterol isn’t inherently “bad,” but too much of it can cause a plethora of problems! Keep watching for the cholesterol basics.

This accessible study about the collusion between medical science and the drug industry emphasizes how drug companies market their products by either redefining problems as diseases (like female sexual dysfunction) or redefining a condition to encompass a greater percentage of the population. Moynihan, a health journalist for the New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet, and Cassels, a Canadian science writer, note, for instance, that eight of the nine specialists who wrote the 2004 federal guideline on high cholesterol, which substantially increased the number of people in that category, have multiple financial ties to drug manufacturers. Physicians now routinely prescribe cholesterol-lowering pills (statins) that may have perilous side effects, when many people could lower their risk of heart attack with less costly and dangerous steps, such as exercise and improved diet. Through aggressive merchandising, funding of medical conferences and expensive perks, drug companies win doctors over to diagnosing these “diseases” and prescribing drugs for them.

Science and medicine writers Moynihan and Cassels conjecture that most Americans believe, based on information gleaned from a deluge of pharmaceutical-company advertisements, that conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, menopause, and chronic constipation are bona fide diseases. They quote reputable medical experts, however, who refute such understandings. What’s more, they suggest that billions of precious and diminishing health-care dollars are squandered treating those nondiseases of healthy, wealthy Americans and would be better spent treating the legitimately sick poor and fighting the international AIDS epidemic. Quoting former Merck CEO Henry Gadsen–who, in a 1976 Fortune article, confessed that “it had long been his dream to make drugs for healthy people. Because then, Merck would be able to ’sell to everyone’”–they lay the blame for the misdirected billions at the feet of just such pharmaceutical giants as Merck. Finally, they counterpoint glossy pharmaceutical ad campaigns with alternatives that consumers may consider before asking their doctors for prescription drugs they saw touted on TV. Donna Chavez

Serious side effects have been reported for Lipitor and other cholesterol-lowering drugs - the so-called statins - prescribed to millions for preventive purposes. The prescription of these drugs is based on the discredited hypothesis that high cholesterol levels cause heart attacks. The cholesterol myth has been one of the most long lived falsehoods around - probably because it has been excellent business, both for large pharma producers as well as for the food multinationals, who introduced margarine telling us how much healthier it is than butter.

There is an easy, widely available nutritional solution to heart attacks: Vitamin C. Needless to say, taking more vitamin C has been opposed by big pharma and its mainstream medicine followers for decades.

When a “preventive” medicine causes severe muscular degeneration as a “common” side effect, something must be awfully wrong. Jonathan Campbell examines the side effects and postulates a mechanism - proposing an astonishingly simple remedy.

Lipitor - Reports of Neuromuscular Degeneration
by Jonathan Campbell, March 16, 2004

Numerous adverse side effect reports have implicated Lipitor as a possible cause for severe neuromuscular degeneration. Some people who have been using Lipitor for two years or more report symptoms similar to multiple sclerosis or ALS - Lou Gehrig’s Disease - in which they are losing neuromuscular control of their bodies.

For instance, in an article entitled “Life After Lipitor” that appeared in the newspaper Tahoe World on January 27, 2004, Tahoe City (California) resident Doug Peterson began having serious neuromuscular problems after taking Lipitor for two years. He began losing muscular coordination and slurring words when he spoke. Then he lost balance, followed by loss of fine motor skills - he had difficulty writing. He went from doctor to doctor, trying to figure out what could be happening. Finally one doctor suggested that he stop taking Lipitor, and the downward health spiral stopped and his health is now slowly improving.

These adverse effects have begun appearing in peer-reviewed medical journals, and numerous people have reported similar symptoms at public adverse effect reporting websites such as medications.com. People have reported “trouble swallowing, trouble talking and enunciating words, feeling fatigued all the time, neck aches,” “motor neuropathy which mimics ALS,” “Blinding headaches, nausea, vertigo, disorientation, memory loss, extremely dry eyes, pain and stiffness in my neck and calf muscles, abominal pain,” and “Muscle pain, weakness, spasms, buzzing in right leg. Can’t hold arms or head up in vertical position for 2 minutes without extreme pain and weakness.”
