My mom went on cholesterol pills and now she has diabetes.
Statins can cause diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and many other side effects including memory loss, brain fog, muscle pain and more. It is well documented statins can increase blood sugar levels but most of the sites I looked at say “benefits outweigh the risks” which is total BS. So you may not have high cholesterol but you could still have a heart attack (many people who have “normal” cholesterol have heart attacks.) I was going to link to some sites to show the risks and side effects, but I don’t trust any of them. But, I would suggest your mom go on a low carb diet and get herself off this poison.
High cholesterol can be hereditary and also can be elevated from having high cortisol levels. That’s the stress hormone. It is so much better to focus on lowering inflammatory conditions and a big cause of this is having a diet high in carbs or more plainly, sugar. There is a high association between insulin resistance and heart disease. Again, I don’t know who to cite on here because I don’t trust much of the health community but an interesting and very informative person to follow is Dr Eric Berg on YT. He helped me change my diet and chronic pain and my metabolic profile is now optimal. It bothers me your mom directly got a condition from taking statins but now know she can be helped.
My mom is from a generation when you never question what a dr says. Plus she’s a foreigner (US citizen now) who puts drs on a pedestal. So getting her to change is a challenge but she did listen to me about not getting the vax 🙏🏼. I also told her to stop getting the flu shot and she listened. So there’s been progress. Yes high cholesterol is hereditary . My dr wanted me to go on statins. I’ve been changing my diet instead of taking meds. I’m due for blood work soon. Cutting sugar has been a big challenge. I’m sticking with apples, berries, bananas to curb my cravings. No breads, pasta or rice. Will definitely look up Dr. Berg. Thanks
Yeah, I hear ya. So many people are like this. But all you can do is try to inform. You’re doing the best you can.
Take a look at dr Berg and see what he says about it. Loads of good videos. Cutting bread, pasta and rice is huge. That’s probably been the hardest for me but there are alternatives and I don’t miss it anymore. Cutting out beer was a game changer, as well. Anyway, good luck on your journey. It’s a very positive one.
