Lower Cholesterol Naturally – US Doctors’ Testimonies

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 ociation 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.

Paul Rosch, MD Talks about the Dangers of Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs and the myths of Cholesterol.
Dr. Rosch will focus on the subtle yet serious and unappreciated dangers of cholesterol-lowering measures using statin drugs based on current guidelines due to confusion about the mechanisms that mediate their cardioprotective effects.
PAUL ROSCH, MD, is a clinical professor of medicine and psychiatry at New York Medical College and President of The American Institute of Stress. He has been involved in stress research for over 50 years. Dr. Rosch has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the Outstanding Physicians Award of the New York State Medical Society. For the past decade, his interest and research has focused on subtle energy communication pathways in the body and the clinical applications of magnetic fields. He is the editor of Bioelectromagnetic Medicine, (Marcel Dekker), a 50-chapter volume that explains why certain electromagnetic therapies are likely to replace drugs in the next decade because of greater efficacy and safety.

Cholesterol Cleaner
August 26, 2009 by admin
Filed under High Cholesterol
People who have abnormally high cholesterol levels are treated with medication, a healthy diet and regular exercise to bring their cholesterol down. But for a rare group of individuals, these standard treatments do not work. Now, a new life-saving therapy at Emory can actually wash away the bad cholesterol in these people and return cholesterol levels to normal.
Background
People who have abnormally high cholesterol levels are treated with medication, a healthy diet and regular exercise to bring their cholesterol down. But for a rare group of individuals, these standard treatments do not work. One in 1000 to one in 10,000 individuals inherits a gene for unusually high cholesterol called familial hypercholesterolemia. Now, a new life-saving therapy at Emory can actually wash away the bad cholesterol in these people and return cholesterol levels to normal. The therapy is the first of its kind in Georgia.
This VNR features a patient who tried for years to lower her cholesterol through all of the normal means, but was unsuccessful — until she tried LDL-apheresis. The so-called “cholesterol cleaner”cleans out the bad cholesterol from the blood. But this treatment isn’t for everyone who has modestly elevated cholesterol levels.
Soundbites include: Dr. Laurence Sperling, Co-director of the Apheresis Program at Emory and Peggy Vardeman, Patient.

The hoax of modern medicine: 7 facts you need to know
August 20, 2009 by admin
Filed under High Cholesterol
http://www.encognitive.com
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
