Cholesterol has been unfairly vilified. The argument that is causes heart disease is like saying that firemen cause fires because they are always at the fires.
The reality is that high cholesterol is a giant red flag warning you that something is wrong in your body. Either your body isn't removing the excess cholesterol as it should (for example, thyroid issues) or your body is making too much (ie some kidney diseases).
Taking a statin masks the problem, allowing the problem to get significantly worse before it is detected.
In my opinion, the purpose of the American Medical Association is to ensure that people develop chronic illnesses that require daily drugs and monthly doctor visits to keep their employees working. Statins are one tool utilized to ensure that people are not diagnosed early enough that the illness could be naturally reversed. The fact that statins cause illnesses in and of themselves are the cherry on top.
I’m 46 and never been on prescriptions, except to treat my Hashimoto’s, which I’m in remission, so my doctor told me to stop. That was 4 years ago. I take a drop of iodine every day. My endocrinologist also wrote me an exemption for the clot shot so I am unvaxxed.
I recently had an echocardiogram, which came out perfect. I was worried that my total cholesterol was too high, but my doctor says he doesn’t pay attention to Total. My HDL is high, which is good. The only thing he said was quit eating fresh pork sausage every day with my farm eggs. 😂. He said I can have it three times a week.😝
We process our own food, eggs, beef, venison, and I eat fresh fruits and vegetables. We rarely eat processed foods. I also do Crossfit and ride my horses.
Oh, I think pharmaceuticals do you have their place in treatment but a lot of people are over medicated to keep the machine running.
Agreed that some pharmaceuticals are necessary and helpful. But I believe that the AMA guidelines are to deliberately not diagnose some diseases in the early stages, when it can be reversed naturally. Instead, they wait to diagnose until it is too late to be reversed and the drugs are a necessity.
There is zero evidence that eating cholesterol has any effect on your body's cholesterol levels. That is something they made up. You poop out the cholesterol that you eat via food. The body makes its own cholesterol.
