My high cholesterol was found at 3yo. At that time in my life I was allergic to milk and eggs, supposedly 2 of the most high in cholesterol foods. Around 5yo, I overheard my Dad tell a friend that if they didn't get my numbers down, I would have a heart attack. That stuck with me my whole life.
By 7yo, I was reading ingredients labels. I can't remember tasting a real egg yolk before the age of 16. I went to have blood taken every 6 months my entire life. My numbers never got below 200, and usually stayed around 250-280. My drs. wanted me to try statins, and I did briefly, but I had the side effects of severe body aches, so I stopped them. My drs. were not happy. I began researching cholesterol and what it means for the body, and tests began to be able to differentiate between good (hdl) and bad (ldl) cholesterol. Turns out I had extremely high good cholesterol.
I brought this to my Dr's attention, but it seemed to hold no weight and I only got more doom and gloom. But I knew for myself and I mostly trusted in my own instincts. Recently, I was sent for this CTA scan due to my age and my most recent cholesterol numbers of 241. I was glad to do it because I would finally know the condition of my heart and arteries.
LOOK AT THESE RESULTS! I'm done. I have been eating whatever I want for the last few years. Lots of butter and bacon and eggs, because of my research. I try to stay away from a lot of processed foods and do my own cooking. Stopped using seed oils. My hdl is still extremely high. I've never felt a bit of trouble with my heart in 57 years.
I got a follow up call from the cardiologist. I'm thinking they need to do a case study on me, but nope. They want me to start an injectable cholesterol medication to get my ldl below 70. I refused. I was really disappointed in their response to such good scan results. SMH.
I am at peace, finally, not just with my health, but with my discernment and trust in my own instincts. Trust the science? Science is made up of theories which are supposed to be tested to prove or disprove, but that isn't happening and medicine is based on faulty test results being published in some medical journal and then followed by AMA as THE STANDARD. These Dr's do not question, and they don't like it when you do. They are lemmings and it's a fucking shame.
It's always been a huge scam because they want everyone on statins for the rest of their lives. Prior to the COVID death jabs, statins were big pharma's biggest money makers. And statins permanently destroy your liver, so eventually they get to sell you a bunch of expensive drugs to treat the symptoms of your failing liver or your liver transplant.
Graveline also wrote "The Dark Side of Statins" --
The full range of statin side effects includes cognitive dysfunction, behavioral and emotional disorders, chronic nerve and muscle damage and an ALS-like neuromuscular degenerative process, as major categories of damage.
Thousands of statin users, like myself, have been afflicted with peripheral neuropathies with a tendency to be resistant to all traditional medical treatment.
Statins inhibit not only dolichols, corrupting our DNA damage correction, but CoQ10 as well, increasing our damage load. Predictably the inevitable effect is increased mitochondrial DNA damage — considered by many authorities to be the mechanism of our aging process as well as that of many chronic diseases.
Many of the statin side effects are permanent and weakness and fatigue are common complaints. Many statin victims say that abruptly, almost in the blink of an eye, they have become old people.
Statins block the synthesis of CoQ10 and dolichols, thereby contributing directly to the premature common chronic ills of aging. Since this involves normal physiologic processes, it is silent. By the time we become aware of it, it is already far too late and the damage has been done to those susceptible. This, in my judgment, is the truly Dark Side of Statins.

Statins are also a main cause of Alzheimer's.
