STATINS are IMO of NO real benefit & the public has been lied to and deceived, be very careful! Analysis by Byrne & Demasi et al. suggests (n=21 trials, 144,000) no consistent relationship between
lowering LDL-C with statins and death, heart attack or stroke; did not necessarily translate into a meaningful benefit for the patient; RRR of 29% becomes ARR of 1.3%, doctors are deceiving patients
I took statins for 15 years, always had side effects. Tried three different types. Have not taken them since early 2020. Fired my doctor. I take a supplement and cleaned up my diet. Limited triglycerides. All the reading I’ve done it’s- hoax. I ended up with taking metformin for high blood sugar probably cause by bad diet.
I don’t take metformin anymore just a supplement. A1c is 5.2.
I’ll never trust a doctor again. I often wonder what damage taking those two drugs did to my joints etc. I gained weight the whole time on the drugs. Never once did the doctor tell me to change my diet. I’m down 65 lbs slightly overweight. Our health care system is worthless.
I remember years ago getting my annual physical. Doc said I had high cholesterol. Wanted to put me on Lipitor. I said I wanted to try some things first. I had heard an infomercial on a high quality Omega 3. I made sure to keep my same lousy diet for the next 3 months, only changing taking therapeutic doses of DHA and EPA Omega 3's. I went back and had my blood checked. Total cholesterol dropped from 210 to 140. LDL went from 140 to 70. Triglycerides dropped in half. He was amazed at the numbers. I asked him if he wanted a Dr medical info packet the company made to help doctors get people off statins by taking pharma grade Omega 3's and other supplements. He said "No thanks." That is when I realized that the "Big Harma" industry, as I call them, controlled a lot of doctors. From that point on I took control of my health, not relying on something just because a doctor said so. I learned how to read pharma trial and research notes like Dr. Alexander often links to. I got familiar with FDA stage trials. That is what saved me early on from ever considering the bioweapon jabs. Over the years I've helped others get off taking statins. Since then there has been a lot of real science showing the harm that inflammation does. By taking the high levels of Omega 3's, a natural anti-inflammatory, my body didn't need to produce as much cholesterol to 'spackle the insides of the arteries'. So instead of treating a symptom (via statins) I addressed the underlying issue. Do your research people. Don't just rely on doctors to spout what the pharma marketing department tells them. It doesn't mean all drugs are wrong, but one has to understand pharma loves getting people on life time medicines. Better for their revenue projections.
Yes. Agreed. People need to see how the pharmaceutical industrial complex takes advantage of us every chance they get. Once they see, they will start to think more critically and stop feeding the beast.
I'm 71 and my cholesterol has been considered "high" for years (vegetarian since 1965 & vegetarians tend to have high HDL, for one thing). LDL is high, too, but triglycerides are low and the ratios are low risk (one. average risk), optimal numbers. I've read about tests measuring LDL being unreliable, as well.
Recently, my cholesteral and LDL really shot up and my doctor (a D.O.) wanted me to take cholesterol drugs. I refused, saying I knew why it had happened: I had been eating 2 eggs every other day for a long time, but had stopped eating steel-cut oats for quite awhile and had also increased butter and cheese substantially. I knew all I needed to do was make some dietary changes.
I was asked to sign a AMA (Against Medical Advice) form (BIG letters in BOLD at the top... oooo, scary...). As usual with these forms, I changed it by crossing out the bold-lettered title, and changed the text so that it not only "covered" the doctor in terms of liability, but didn't reflect badly on me (i.e., didn't give insurance company any opportunity to refuse payment for some condition in the future). I crossed out words like "refused" and similar accusatory terms, and wrote in that I had been advised to take cholesterol drugs by the provider, period. I was okay with also signing the statement that "risks" of not taking the drug had been explained, but I also wrote in, "Potential risks of taking cholesterol drugs was not addressed." (Of course not, because it's all one-sided lunacy.)
In short, I then changed my diet for three months (omitted eggs, cheese and butter and ate steel-cut oats every day) and my total cholesterol dropped by 86 points (LDL by 76 points). I have to wonder how many people just agree to take those poison statin drugs without even trying to go the natural route. But my doctor, following required "protocol", would have immediately prescribed a very harmful pharmaceutical.
Oh, and I resumed eating eggs, butter and cheese, just a bit less, and am eating organic steel-cut oats regularly, too. Moderation is still a thing.
30 years ago I did some digging on this subject when my GP wanted to put me on statins. I declined after finding a lack of definitive correlation. A few years later I had a full neck, body & organ scan done to check for blockages & the cardiologist who analyzed my results was shocked to find perfectly clear arteries & healthy organs. He said with my numbers he expected to find at least something & that he wished his own scan looked as good as mine...& HE was taking statins! He also said that normally with numbers as “bad” as mine he’d prescribe taking them at least every 2nd day, but since my scans proved the highly promoted theory absolutely wrong on me, he didn’t see any reason why I should.
Drs are typically shocked that I am on zero Rx at close to 61...they also can’t believe my age & do a double take because I look so much younger than that, with no cosmetic injections or surgeries. I’ve stayed away from typical medicine most of my life, other than urgencies, emergencies & a few infections that truly needed antibiotics. My parents opted out of vaccines for me, too. Lucky me! It’s served me well. I go to integrative medical doctors & alternative healers for most everything...& absolutely no jabs for anything, no matter what they spring on us next!
You and I think alike - Dr. Paul Alexander, and yes, I emphatically agree that you are 100 percent CORRECT.
Truly STATINS like the best known 'Lipitor' as the best example, make MULTI BILLIONS for big Pharma each year. Doctors STILL recommend Lipitor despite much cheaper generic brands.
Why? Lipitor is over 10 billion IN PROFIT annually and that is likely a low estimate.
Worse, and also highly CORRUPT doctors (brainwashed and whom seldom take the time to read the studies ) are also heavily paid off and given huge monetary incentives. The more prescriptions they write, the bigger the bonus
And they can be BIG$ for some.
This alone means some less than ethical DOCTORs really push hard to get people to swallow this TOXIC drug.
Meanwhile, NOT only does the science SHOW zero real proof or benefit, just look at the RCT ENDPOINTS, CI, P value etc. (endpoints are predefined goals of the study) and this will allow you to see these lies more clearly.
But, here is the GOOD NEWS and huge secret...!!!!!
What if I TOLD YOU there was a VITAMIN Solution, for a tiny fraction of the cost WITH ZERO ADVERSE effects. and it WORKS far superior to any statin
Its TRUE....
verifiable, and yes it has been KNOWN FOR DECADES by the savvy, but again, due to outright corruption and fraud of big pharmacy lies and suppression of medical solutions that don't offer profit, , this secret was buried.
In fact this secret is DECADES OLD.
And yes, my family are predisposed to heart disease and I too use this secret DAILY.
You can THANK a man, who I usually call the GREATEST CANADIAN DOCTOR that ever lived.
His name was "Dr. Abram Hoffer" from Saskatchewan (there is a town there named after him called HOFFER Sask.).
Hoffer did ALL the pioneering work and studies, on Vitamin B3 (flush Niacin is the BEST form and smallest molecule by far helping absorption ) and literally taking it daily has CURED thousands.
Yes, that is the CURE word but of course, no cure is 100% universal.
Along, with his friend (they met at a conference) Dr. Linus Pauling (two Nobel prizes and the doctor who made Vitamin C a household name) they founded today's modern ORTHOMOLECULAR Medicine.
For those that don't know the term it is similar to naturopathic and somewhat integrative medicine.
Moreover it only deals with molecules NATIVE or built into the human body via evolution.
Assuming I one day get my blog going, I will write a lot more on this topic of Orthomolecular medicine.
Without further adieu, here is a Link for your verification - and yes I have witnessed hundreds use this simple therapy very successfully whom all wrote their experiences in B3 Niacin Discussions Group on FB.
I use to write and contribute a lot in that and other groups, but left FB, which I called a criminal group led by Zuckerberg, when they started censoring doctors and life saving information. (Hint IVERMECTIN)
I saw this as making FB an ACCESSORY to murder and torture.
If you are on FB, you need to realize that you are supporting the torture and millions of deaths of adverse effects globally of the toxic jab.
Here is one LINK.
Hint - B3 as flush Niacin literally often completely cures DYSLIPIDEMIA, and has zero side effects for probably 99.9 %
Some don't like or tolerate the flush, which last minutes because the biological half life of flush Niacin is just 45 minutes.
Note - Use the FLUSH FORM of Niacin for best results. Aka 'Nicotinic Acid' which is a vasodilator.
I worked in the cardiovascular surgery department at the Cleveland Clinic for 13 years. I retired 6 years ago.
Right before I left the general consensus amongst heart surgeons was shifting away from cholesterol as a marker for cardiovascular disease and the emerging focus was on inflammation.
I believe the surgeons because unlike cardiologists they have no skin in big pharma’s game.
The basic idea is, everyone’s body goes through daily inflammatory cycles. A certain amount of inflammation is good and necessary for healing. But too much stresses the inside of vessels and over time roughens their smooth linings causing plaque buildup and calcification.
Excess carbs and processed foods increase inflammation. A Mediterranean diet rich in (real) olive oils decreases inflammation. The thinking is, we’ve been focusing on reducing cholesterol for decades and heart disease is still the number one killer. So we are barking up the wrong tree.
Fat chance convincing big pharma though. Statins are a huge cash cow.
Been reported already by several other truth tellers! Reflects the fact that medical research is no longer objective but manipulated to push patented chemicals as the primary way to treat disease states! Now they want to injected cell manipulating RNA as the the method that is immensely profitable, proprietary and patentable to give a 19 year lock! Expose the perpetrators now and stop the injections now!
My doc prescribed me 40mg atorvastatin April 2022. I haven't been taking it. Had my gallbladder out Oct 2022. Gonna get back with y'all and see if gallbladder removal lowered my cholesterol. I've read it does.

Statins are a real benefit to Big Pharma’s profits.
Also taking them for decades can extend life by about 4 days, though perhaps increasing the chance that those days will be accompanied by Alzheimer’s.

Right before I left the general consensus amongst heart surgeons was shifting away from cholesterol as a marker for cardiovascular disease and the emerging focus was on inflammation.

Welcome to the Statin Denial Cult.
Over the age of 50, “high” cholesterol is actually beneficial for all cause mortality.
Rogan interviewed Dr Maholtra (?) on this. Big lies on a huge scale
Been reported already by several other truth tellers! Reflects the fact that medical research is no longer objective but manipulated to push patented chemicals as the primary way to treat disease states! Now they want to injected cell manipulating RNA as the the method that is immensely profitable, proprietary and patentable to give a 19 year lock! Expose the perpetrators now and stop the injections now!
Thanks for this. The side effects of Statins are considerable. I’m glad I was able to use a similar analysis to get my wife off of them.
My doc prescribed me 40mg atorvastatin April 2022. I haven't been taking it. Had my gallbladder out Oct 2022. Gonna get back with y'all and see if gallbladder removal lowered my cholesterol. I've read it does.
4/6/24 haven't been back to the doc yet 😄
fluoride, COVID shots, antidepressants, and now statins?!? oh, no..... what will be next?
(I left a few out...)
The question the patient should ask the doctor is “ if I take a statin how long will that increase my lifespan?”
