it be that everything we think we know about cholesterol is wrong?
Current conventional wisdom assumes that we obtain too much
cholesterol inour diet or produce too much in our liver. A shocking
finding by two LifeExtension medical advisors reveals that the
underlying cause of excess serumcholesterol is a multi-hormone
deficiency. Since cholesterol is theprecursor to steroidal hormones,
when we become deficient in pregnenolone,DHEA, testosterone,
progesterone, etc., our body responds by overproducingcholesterol in
an attempt to restore healthy hormone balance. To confirm their
findings, Drs. Arnold Smith and Sergey Dzugan conducted aclinical
study on 41 patients with high cholesterol between years 1997
and2003. The astounding result from this study was that by properly
replacingthe steroidal hormones lost to normal aging, 100% of the
subjectsexperienced a significant reduction in blood cholesterol
levels.Today, cholesterol-lowering drugs are the most commonly
prescribed medications in the United States. These drugs induce side
effects and failto address the underlying reason (hormone deficiency)
for why the body is over producing cholesterol. This article
describes how a deficiency in theseyouth hormones (pregnenolone,
DHEA, testosterone, progesterone, etc.) is theunderlying cause of
many disorders associated with normal aging,
includinghypercholesterolemia. It then goes on to discuss ways that
aging humans cansafely restore their hormones to healthy levels.The
findings you are about to read could radically alter the way
aginghumans with high cholesterol are medically treated. It also
confirmsprevious findings showing that hormone imbalance is the
culprit behind manyage-related disorders.
