If your doctor understood that there is an epidemic of heart failure threatening the lives of most of the clientele he/she sees everyday …
Your doctor would be careful to give you more options for heart disease prevention.
Take a look around you.
Are the people you care about dying from heart failure, stroke and other cardiovascular related issues?
Of course they are. Heart disease is killing us more than everything else.
Do you know that cholesterol lowering medication will NOT reduce your risk of death?

If you take it you should be aware that scientist now say that Statins appear to cause “exercise intolerance”.
It seems your muscles can’t restore and recuperate after exercise, so if you are drugging your cholesterol levels you are better off sitting on the couch.
Being more active will certainly improve the health of your heart, but evidently NOT if you take Statin cholesterol lowering medication.
Did your doctor tell caution you about this concern when he/she wrote your prescription?
Sedentary Death Syndrome will kill you prematurely no matter what eventually causes your demise.
You will need to accept that fact if you choose to take cholesterol lowering medication because you are choosing to accept exercise intolerance as a side effect of drugging.
Years ago a small group of doctors worked together to warn us about what was then called “inactivity related disease”. They decided to rename the condition “Sedentary Death Syndrome” to get the attention of the public and really highlight just how important it is that you MOVE your body!
Cholesterol lowering drugs are a trillion dollar per year money maker, so your doctor may not hear about what the long term studies of these drugs are showing for a while.
But think about it. Isn’t exercise intolerance going to contribute to heart disease rather than prevent an epidemic of heart failure?
Unfortunately, if you wait until you are retaining fluid and experiencing significant shortness of breath before you take action to get off the couch, you could find yourself a whole lot worse before you ever see any signs of improvement in your health!
- Your doctor won’t drug your fluid until it drives your blood pressure up or threatens to drown you.
- Addressing cause is the only way your doctor can help you address shortness of breath.
- Shortness of breath may not alarm you enough to seek help until your situation is life threatening!
Waiting for your doctor to address the cause of your shortness of breath is the equivalent of watching the water rise without reaching for a bucket to bail the ship.
Calling it Asthma and drugging your shortness of breath with inhalers and steroids is not addressing the cause.
Do you know how to address the cause of chronic inflammation?
If you don’t then you need to seek wise counsel sooner than later because living with shortness of breath is living with a time bomb.
