hey i’m back with another video today we’re  going to talk about statins okay it is very very  

essential for you to understand this information  now statins work by blocking a certain enzyme  

that blocks your production of cholesterol your  liver cells make a good amount of cholesterol  

in your body so the cholesterol in your body is  not just coming from the diet it’s coming from  

your own cells and it has some very important  purposes number one it’s a precursor for making  

bile salts which is involved in digesting fats  absorbing fat cypo vitamins like vitamin a  

e d k omega 3 fatty acids etc etc cholesterol  is also necessary in making bile salts  

so if you don’t have enough bile salts your risks  for gall stones go up your risk for pancreatitis  

increases because if you have bile sludge  that’s going to block the pancreatic ducts  

and causing a back up into the pancreas so there’s  so many side effects of statin but the big one  

is myopathy now that’s a gentle term for muscle  disease because statins have a direct effect  

on the muscle they can create necrosis of  the muscle which basically kills the muscle  

they can cause muscle cell apoptosis which is  another term for the muscle cells dying you can  

get all sorts of inflammatory muscle  problems weakness of the muscle pain  

in the muscle stiffness in the muscle and even  an autoimmune condition of the muscle as well  

another side effect is high levels of something  called creatinine kinase which indicates muscle  

wasting and that can increase by 10x now there’s  also the topic of why your cholesterol is high  

in the first place and let’s say it even goes up  is there any problem with having high cholesterol  

i’m going to leave that for another video but in  this video i want to talk to the person who’s on  

statins and what you can do to reduce the symptoms  of myopathy now there’s something else that  

a statin will deplete and that is something  called coq10 it’s an enzyme involved in giving  

your muscles energy and you may have seen it  at the healthy store mainly for heart problems  

if you’re deficient in coq10 you get muscle  wasting muscle weakness low back pain  

again a problem in the muscle um heart failure and  the list goes on and on and on so the more statin  

you take the more deficient in coq10 you’re going  to be and it just happens that if you take coq10  

you can greatly diminish the symptoms of myopathy  when someone’s on a statin drug so this video is  

mainly about those people that are taking statins  that apparently for some reason have to take it  

they’re getting side effects and they might not  know how simple it is to relieve the complications  

from this medication so start taking coenzyme q10  and if i were you i would double or triple the  

dosage if you’re taking the statin and as you’re  coping with statins i would highly recommend you  

also learn more about cholesterol how to keep it  in check and what diet you need to be on if you’re  

new to my channel i put the links down right there  check it out before you go if you have a question
