The answer to childhood obesity? Ayurveda! Statins NOT

I could not believe my eyes when I read

believe in the New York Times that the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued new guidelines to “aggressively screen and treat high cholesterol in children” and they intend to manage the cholesterol-lowering drugs – called statins – to kids as young as 8 years! 8!

WHAT’S NEXT – PUTTING your newborn on anti-depressants, because there are not enough smiles, no?

But before going into this, let me remind you of the simple facts on cholesterol. . .

Do not complain, did not commit a crime, cholesterol!

Back in April I posted an article that the cholesterol-myths have been removed so that you allow me to repeat a number of things: in Ayurveda are not “bad” and “good” cholesterol – c is all good. High cholesterol is the informant, a sign that something is wrong with your body – not the criminal. Do not blame the cholesterol!

The use of cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins, also known as Lipitor – Pfizer Pravachol – Bristol Myers Squibb, and Lescol – Novartis) rose 156% (8 million people 15-29 7 million people) between 2000 and 2005. Spending on these drugs catapulted from $ 7. 7 billion to $ 19. € 7 billion and prescriptions rose by almost 90 million dollars to nearly 174 million during the same period.

In 2004, the government informed the United States, the National Cholesterol Education Program, which reduces the risk of heart disease with their LDL (“bad” cholesterol) level ridiculously low of less than 100 (or 70). If you want to meet these objectives is dangerously low, you have to take a rule on multiple statins in combination.

Big Business is not to dictate how we treat even and especially our children, and statins are not the solution to the “problem” with cholesterol. They not only on my word. Dr. Joseph Mercola, DO, (www. Mercola. Com) spoke against the use of statins in children.

“I find it particularly gratifying that these drugs safe for children as well as adults, since it is very dangerous for adults with” the article by Dr. Mercola beginning, “Where are they now want to treat children with statins. “

Dr. Mercola also lists some of the known dangers of statins (Crestor and other statins are they really worth the risk? “), Which” increase the potential of liver enzymes … muscle pain, weakness, weakening the immune system, increased risk of cancer and rhabdomyolysis severe degenerative muscle tissue called. “

OUR CHILDREN deserve better!

Hugs (and Ayurveda) no drugs: the weight and treat disorders of childhood obesity and how SAFE non-toxic. . .

Choosing the right labels: Vata, Pitta or Kapha – no fat “or” lazy. ” . .

There are three main types of digestive imbalances and trends after the body type of the child:

First “Visnagni” – the appetite irregular, stomach and intestines overworked. A child with a stomach “nervous” have problems with indigestion, nausea, stomach pain, and may want to eat at odd hours. Johnny or Susie’s stomach hurts and refusal to eat for hours at a time can be an indicator of body type Visnagni tract. Thus, their emotional stress, anxiety, agitation and insomnia. In severe cases it can even dark circles around the eyes. Is not the recipe for a happy child, balance!

2nd “Tiksnagni” – or stomach acid. ” If Johnny or Susie is cranky when not fed on time, or if they show skin hot and red, there is nothing improper digestive fire of the child. Instead, they could upset because the stomach acids overcook food, which are absorbed to a shortage of nutrients. The key of this kind is the regular meals: same time every day.

3rd “Mandagni” specified – by a heavy, slow and clogged digestive system. Too because of gastric mucus, undigested food clogging of channels of fat and other tissues. Johnny or Susie is lethargic, always hungry and vulnerable to colds and mucus problems. With their toxins UN food metabolized clogging their channels of the body, it is easy to gain weight and lose slowly.

Each of these can cause indigestion track to obesity in children and identifying children in the class of your game is, you take the first step in creating a wellness program weight loss of your little one. Copyright 2008-2012 Dr. Helen Thomas M
