Exposing the Great Cholesterol Con with the Help of Dr. John Briffa

Have you ever asked yourself why doctors, surgeons, hospitals, drug companies — or anyone else in the medical profession — don't tell you the shocking truth about statins?

Why wouldn’t they want you to know that these cholesterol- lowering drugs come with an agonising list of side-effects — including myopathy, dermatomyositis, rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure and liver dysfunction!

Statins destroy the spark of life in every cell of your body

Ask yourself why Big Pharma also don't want you to know that statins seriously deplete your body of Coenzyme-Q10 (CoQ10) – the vital heart nutrient that naturally PREVENTS heart attacks and strokes?

CoQ10 stops cholesterol from blocking arteries, it helps lower blood pressure and rejuvenates heart cells...

Yet statins destroy this essential ‘life spark’... diminishing it to such an extent that it reaches dangerously low levels. This increases your risk of serious side-effects like the ones mentioned previously as well as, confusion, forgetfulness, disorientation, fatigue, migraines, nausea and diarrhoea, to name but a few more...

One simply needs to look at all the known side-effects of statins to realise that any possible benefit from taking these drugs comes at a massive price to your health.

Scratch beneath the surface and you’ll find there’s a lot more at play when it comes to statins (and the companies that manufacture them) than you could ever possibly have imagined...

The real kicker when it comes to the truth about cholesterol is that 75 per cent of people who suffer a heart attack actually have NORMAL levels of cholesterol!

These are just some of the reasons why we decided to launch a dedicated blog, The Cholesterol Truth, to help all those who are suffering side effects as a result of taking cholesterol-lowering drugs - and for those people seeking safer, more natural solutions to maintaining a healthy heart.
