We obviously don't trust big pharma.

This was hugely helpful as I am always around 230 on my cholesterol and have argued with my doc for years about not taking statins. Now I know my cholesterol is essentially in the normal range. These lying sob medical people. It's all about the $
When I worked for a corporation we had periodic health screenings. My numbers were high. I consulted a doctor and over the phone without EVER seeing me AND without asking me a single lifestyle question he wanted to prescribe me statins. This was several decades ago before we knew much about them. My question was how long would I have to take them? His answer; for life. I said no thank you. So very, very, very glad that I knew better.
Well done honestly!
Statins are one of the more horrible drugs out there, and like more recent examples (clotshots of course come to mind now), seemingly have had an uptick in bad health outcomes in perfect correlation with their use.. statistically undeniable that their use goes hand in hand with dementia, alzheimers, and other degenerative brain illnesses.
Since statins dissolve cholesterol, and the brain is largely made up of cholesterol.. what other outcome could really have been expected, given a huge proportion of blood flow goes to that organ? Its not as though it can selectively dissolve only from specific areas. And look at all the additional drugs and pharma profits that then flow from all the brain-related treatments! A disgusting industry.
To get back on topic, more meat-based fats, full milk and none of the 'diet' brands of cheese, yogurt, and other dairy based products. Cutting out rubbish grain-based carbs that arent needed, seed oils, sugars as much as possible are the things to get rid of. And then of course, daily exercise to go hand in hand with this.. the ketogenic approach.
