Try Ezetimibe ; recommended us a better alternative by my sisters doctor, instead of the standard statin.

This video just solidified the information that I have gathered over the years not to ever take statin drugs. I am so convinced that all statins are nothing but poison to the body. We all know it and how i wish that my own personal doctor will listen to this video and stop trying to convince me to take the drug which i will never take. I refused to take it since 25 years ago and I am convinced I made the right choice not to take it. As you stated that it is the quality of one’s cholesterol that matters (I totally agree), and if I may add that it is also the particle size that matters. … just my personal opinion. Thank you for this video. I do appreciate it.

I agree I was on statins for 2 months . Statins gave me severe muscle pain in my legs. I have never taken them since. This was over 10 years ago. I control my Cholesterol by diet and exercise.

The statin drugs was the most horror in my life. I was about buying wheel chair and got to sit, sleep with memory cushions! both shoulders almost fell apart. Almost no legs or arms, back bone. Came back to normal health after 3 weeks! WHY they make medicine like this and praise like miracle.

I am 64yrs old. And currently not taking any medication. I eat everything in moderation and nothing to excess. I am 6 ‘ tall, weighing in at 90kg and my cholesterol HDL is 6. I train 5 times a week most weeks both cycling and weights and can ride 20 miles in 1 hour. My heart rate is around 46 at rest. I have my bloods done every year and they seem normal. I went for a my yearly check up and the nurse said I needed to loose weight. I am a solid unit. I ignored the advice. I then subsequently received a phone call from my GP offering me statins I was 14.5 like to die and she wanted me to be a 10. Talk about high pressure sales. So I went through my numbers and said “why would I need to do that when I am as fit as an Ox. The call ended with her saying to contact the surgery if I ever changed my mind. I’m still here nearly 5 yrs later doing my thing. By the way I didn’t take the jabby thing either🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Some strength training. I also don't take any meds. I never even had a headache, thankfully. My worst thing was drinking coffee but I quit now. Not eating sugar now, but a little honey. I wonder since I have some how escaped the drug industry if that's why I am healthy. My heart rate is 58 laying down. I feel terrible for those suffering with side affects from drugs.i didn't take the jib jab either. So sad where I went to college UCCS a girl only 23, just suddenly died last week while working out at the school gym. I was 47-50 when I ran in the treadmill, never had any issues with my heart.

49% blockage in carotid artery!!! Doc wanted to put me on a statin, because wouldn't take statin she said," no need to see u again if your not gonna listen to me!!! 😊

My brother had a heart attack at 43. He was a heavy smoker. After his stent, he quit smoking. They put him on statins immediately and he took them for 30 years. At 73 he became quite breathless doing normal yard work. He had not seen a cardiologist in 10 years, just family physician who kept his meds current. Luckily, he made an appointment. His stent was like 98% blocked- tremendous calcification. He had the less evasive open heart surgery where they go in through the back. He is doing better but not back to full health. My question is this- did the statins give him 30 good years or did the statins,in stabilizing plaque, cause the calcification to create the 98% blockage? It is a known fact that use of statins increases CAC score. Are we damned if we do or damned if we don’t?

I’m so glad I found this channel! After getting my cholesterol labs with a new doctor, it was high as usual. She tried to immediately put me on statins based upon LDL, and as always, I refused. She was shocked at my refusal and asked me why, and if I had read something. I stumbled trying to explain to her that I didn’t feel my higher cholesterol was an issue, especially since my HDL is always high in the 90s and my Trigs are low. But I did not know how to explain it to her. I decided to look for articles that would help me explain my beliefs on cholesterol and statins. I am going to print out the free e-book and take it to her next time I go.

I was diagnosed with Fatty Liver high Cholestral. Luckily I had already read up on Statins long before diagnosis dr didn’t break it down into HDL Trigs or LDL. Just overall 6.2. Now I am also a genetic Bullous Emphesema patient, chronic with heart failure. Therefore on Oxygen Therapy. Now, I discover that people with Empysema and other COPDs have higher Cholestral levels. Also that Statins can aggravate lung disorders, cause mental issues and Alzheimer’s disease along with all the other problems. Honestly. Don’t I have enough issues? Now they are loading me with taking that final luxury off me of eating a normal healthy diet. Gosh. Almost hoping I succumb to my Emphysema sooner as I have been fighting it to live a somewhat normal life. What for? huh! No. I won’t take STATINS. No I am not diabetic.

My LDL number was 36 points above the top range on my last medical test. This was the first time in my life and is likely caused by my low carb way of eating over the last 3 or so years. Her response was to immediately try to push statins on me. Not a word about side effects. I refused and told her I would never take a statin. Good thing !

Dreamer and full of shit

A very good and informative presentation. I was asked by my doctor twice whether I wished to take statins and I refused. It has been printed in the Straits Times newspaper that the Government will be aggressive in prescribing statins. This is because much money is derived in taxes from companies that sell foods and oils that raise your triglyceride levels.

I can't thank you enough. Very informative

Most everyone has both damaged & undamaged LDL, the damage caused by inflammation and the like. Statins reduce the amount of undamaged LDL and don’t do anything about the damaged LDL. Patients therefore have a false sense of better health.

I have been vegan for 10 years and though my total Lipid panel did come down, I decided to start doing 10,000 Steps which is a walking daily challenge. 10K Steps equals approximately 4.4 miles. But the sweet spot for weight loss for me I’ve found is 5+ miles. Since I had my last bloodwork done, I have been doing this walking for 6 months. I’ve also brought my weight down to a normal BMi so I went from 155 lbs. to 125 lbs. All my Lipid panel numbers are perfect, ideal in fact. Our health should be in our own hands primarily. So many people go carnivore or Keto. I worked it the other way, looking at who lives the longest and how they eat. That is why I chose Vegan over other diets. And the combination of the walking with the low-fat Vegan diet has worked well for me, I feel well and I am wearing the size clothes I wore in high school, size 7/8. When I first turned Vegan, I was 200 lbs. It took me a few months to get down to 144 lbs. Then I broke my ankle and had to stop my walks. The ankle took longer to heal and had to have Physical Therapy. Put on more weight over Covid, when up to 165 lbs. Got that down getting the junk out of my diet, and got down only 10 lbs. Went back to walking. I am 70 and the walking is brisk but never running as I have a lower back injury from when I was 40 and a disintegrating disk. Running is out, but walking is good for my back. Started Physical Therapy for my back. The trio of diet, walking and doing daily indoor home exercises has made me feel great.

My doctor suggested i take them too. When headaches ensued i stopped . They are so unaware that bad instruction comes with consequence.

Maybe this will help someone. They first started measuring cholesterol when i was 37 and it was about 237 which was considered normal then. Every year it was the same and then in my early 50s they said 237 was high (pharma reduced the safe numbers, more sales) every 10 years they reduce it 50 points. I think it is now 120? Anyway I am still 235 to 50. 77 yo and still take no statins. Healthy. My doc leaves me alone about it. My choice. Point being in 1980s it was normal but now its considered high. Suspicious that pharma keep lowering the safe numbers. Also when they started the HDL, LDL stuff my good C is high. Whatever that means. I do believe you have to do your research and br wary of meds. A med has to be out for about 12 years before they start seeing all the bad side effects and it is too late for some.

Your gp gets paid for prescribing statins

Finally, a video that has given me more confidence to cement the info I have gathered over the months that statin will do more harm than good. After six months, I urged my doctor to allow me to stop taking it and he permitted me since my blood works showed normal result. During the course of taking it, I observed severe muscle pain in my chest and back. My deep voice changed and I didn't like the way I sounded. It was weird. Now, I know it's part of the side effects in the long run.

My doctor prescribed statins for me and my feet and lower legs swelled until I could barely walk. I no longer take statins and happily have a new doctor. There are good doctors out there, look for one.

You tell your doc what you want, you don't ask permission.

I am an insulin dependent diabetic and also have PAD with a Stent in each leg. My lab was all within normal limits. I also have a fatty liver. My cardiologist put me on 10mg Crestor daily all because my LDL was 86. My HDL is 54 and triglycerides 116 and overall cholesterol is 153. I don't think my LDL being 86 justifies being on a statin. 3 months ago my LDL was 69. Stains can mess up my other lab work such as liver enzymes kidney function etc. Will Crestor help or hurt the plaque buildup? In other words will Crestor cause more problems with my atherosclerosis or improve it?

I’ll never mess with my liver or mitochondria.

When recommending vit K2 it should be pointed out it must be mk7

I can’t see any benefit whatsoever to taking a statin it lowers your cholesterol according to doctors, but they don’t know what they’re talking about apparently because lowering cholesterol does not prevent any kind of heart issue, this is very significant because the whole idea of a Staten is to improve your ass with heart, attack, stroke, and a fib it doesn’t help at all. We can do your muscles though and damages other parts of your body so the only people benefiting are the pharmaceutical people who manufactures these drugs and also they’re the biggest contributor to medical hospitals teaching another brainwashing sources.

@@fatimamelo3858 well…. To begin with a cholesterol of 210 is good in my opinion. You can reduce it through a healthy diet and exercise if you want to lower it.

Twice I stopped taking statins, first when the news said it causes Alzheimer's disease. Then I took it again after so many years. I was diagnosed pre diabetic, so I read that one of the side effects of it is diabetes, and I stopped taking it for good. Still, my doctor is trying to change my mind. Can you imagine that?

I was diagnosed as having high cholesterol and needed statins. When I said I wasn’t sure and needed to research it, the doc’s secretary screamed at me and said I will die without statins. Needless to say, last time I visited that doctor. I started walking more, and eating healthier. It has been over 20 years since then and knock on wood, I am alive, no major illnesses, and feeling fine.

Yes I can imagine that, it is quite normal unfortunately. Drs assistants can be even worse. Someone once asked me if I thought all drs were corrupt. I thought for a long time and said no, although I was far from sure. Then I had an experience within my tiny circle of friends that at least partly answered the question. I was eating with 4 friends and one commented that she had been asked to help an elderly friend who could not reach her bed. Waste bags full of statins turned out to be the problem. Then I admitted that I had cupboards full. Then the first lady said that she also had stopped and finally the third person was also building up a substantial Statin collection. So that was 4 out of 5 people had stopped taking Statins. 4 different families and 4 different doctors. None had dared to tell their doctors, so perhaps many doctors just do not know the extent and severity of the side effects? I did tell my doctor eventually that I had stopped, that was a mistake!

My husband lost his memory after he was put on a large dose of Zocor. It was irreversible and devastating. Use diet,exercise instead and avoid the statins like the plague.

We're very sorry to hear about your husband's experience. Diet and exercise are indeed important for managing cholesterol. Always consult with a healthcare professional for the best approach to your health. 💔🏃‍♂️🍎

The (stable) Ca lattice in coronary lesions may theoretically break down with Vit K, creating a coronary thrombus when that Ca lattice fragments. Statins stabilize that lattice.

Don’t tell your doctor you have stopped them. However is best to change your doctor. Get a copy of your blood work yourself and do some Research your self. I told my cardiologist that I had stopped statin’s due to controversy of the drugs he was fine with that. However in my case I have altered my diet to get reasonable HDL/HDL. my family does have a history of heart issues and have 90 year old relative that has taken statin’s for 40 year she is the only one alive the other lasted to 55 to 67 years old. One thing for sure the professionals for every one doctor that says good you will find one doctor says bad . So in the end it’s up to you. But be careful your own doctor may have a very good reason to keep you on statin’s. EG you told him all your family dies young from heart disease. Or your race is particularly venerable to heart issues. Black/White/Spanish/Japanese//Chinese all have the doctors working overtime as each race of the has different issues. What is safe for one person may not be safe for another. Example Women from Papua New Guinea can survive on extremely low iron levels, Where in the western world a European woman would be put on blood transfusions

You have to be ultimately responsible for your own health...

WHAT THE HEART PATIENTS USE IN PLACE OF STATINS ??? PLEASE SUGGEST SUBSTITUTE.

I have to take it--no choice. I have familial hypercholesterolemia and no other health problems, yet I've had two strokes. Until there's a better solution, this is it. I don't have high blood pressure and my A1c is 4.9. Go figure.

Thanks for the great explanation! There are a lot more adverse effects, which doctors call rare. But with millions of statin prescriptions, the number of even "rare" conditions can number in the hundreds of thousands or more.

I was under the impression that the brain makes its own cholesterol as the blood brain barrier prevents it getting in, on the other side statins can pass this barrier,this could be contributing to dementia

At least it extends your life by 4 days

Its a dilemma if you take it cause you so many problems, if you don't your life could be cut short.😢😢😢😢 i stop taking it and my cholesterol getting very high again even dough i eat very health.

Doc raised my does to 40gm then my blood sugar went up

Don't take them full stop, fix your diet..

I have a Hyundai instead of a “Cataract “

control ur eating so that u control cholesterol , no cholesterol no statins

What is a statin!!

No, they are not.

Its interesting that statins have remained controversial after all these years. I have a feeling that the voice reciting this vid is a bot. So much for controversial.

UNTIL THE MEDICAL BODIES OF THE WORLD, SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE, THE PUBLIC WILL ALWAYS BE UNABLE TO MAKE A DECISION. SADLY, YOUR OPINION IS IRRELEVANT

More than 200 million people around the world are taking statins currently and statins have been in use for about 30 years and yet people are not dropping out like flies. The opposite is true actually. It extends life for those at risk significantly. Those are scientific facts and not some hearsay or anecdotal evidence.
