When I told my doctor I wasn't taking the statins anymore, she made a point of putting that in my medical record. My health is my responsibility and I take care of myself with healthy diet, exercise, don't smoke, don't drink, don't take drugs. Why should I be berated by my doctor for not getting on the big pharma bandwagon?

Last year I had a well man checkup which was basically a lifestyle questionnaire, at the end of the consultation I asked can I have a PSA blood test as I’m over 60 the “nurse practitioner” said why do you want that ? I replied because nearly every male and several female members of my family has died of some form of cancer ! She agreed and the blood test was done, a week later I get a call from the “doctor” saying he’d like me to come in and discuss my blood test, I asked “is there anything wrong ? “ He replied “no I’d just like to talk to you about your cholesterol levels,” I said are they high ?” he said “no but I’d like to discuss with you about going on statins”, my response was “no thank you !” I just knew from the start of that conversation where it was going, “Do no harm” no moral compass where drug money is concerned.

In the late 80's I worked in a doctors office and normal Cholesterol levels were 400. When I left normal was 275. So how did we get to 200? Big pharma raking it in again. So many people on statins with artificially lowered much needed cholesterol and people are getting more obese and unhealthy!

I know it's weird but I feel better, not perfect, after all, I'm 73, but the pain in my body ... arthritis, etc.. is lessened. I don't feel like I am 20, again, but I don't feel like I'm being tortured by the inquisition, either. I'm trying to stay as far away as I can from the medical community because I want to try to fix myself. I wasn't going anywhere listening to my nurse-doctor. .. I lost all faith in the medical community when my husband died of cancer. He kept his cholesterol low, he exercised he obeyed the doctors and all it got him was death at 66 of spreading pancreatic cancer.

Their dementia returned when they began taking the statins again during the experiment. This was a side effect noted during the experiment testing for lowering cholesterol levels of a big name statin. The mechanism is obvious, as the brain needs a vast amount of cholesterol, statins lower this, so the brain doesn't have enough to function properly.

My 2 biggest problems over the years was way too much sugar and extreme levels of anxiety.

I am nurse in cardiology since 25 years. ALL patients on statin therapy become heart infarctions, we never had even one who was not on statin. The conclusion is simple: statins don’t prevent heart attacks.

This year I attended two funerals of women over 100 years of age. One was 107, the other I believe 104. They ate what they wanted, when they wanted, including lots of meat, processed meats, cheese, dairy, cooking oils, chocolate, desserts, potatoes, pasta. They walked when they felt like it (but not far), but preferred to drive (or, near the end be driven). They did their own shopping and cooking and baking and kept a clean house. They did crossword puzzles, read books, took classes. They stayed in their own homes till the end. They avoided propaganda, diets, fads, toxic people, and mainscream media. They were loving and generous by all accounts, and were Christians who attended church regularly. One survived her husband by over 50 years. The other left a husband behind who was several years her junior. Each woman had children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Each lady has left a huge gap in their family. Each lady died suddenly, with no illness or issues. They came from different backgrounds and, as far as I know, never met.

Thank you Doctor Philip. I was prescribed Statins 4 years ago. Did not take them and I am in good health. My doctor wanted to scare me. I told her I am not afraid of dying, but she said: "You might have a stroke, sitting in your car and killing a bunch of pedestrians und you end up in a wheelchair." This made me think, she is desperate to sell me something. So I avoided it.

When I told him that I refused to take them, he told me to find another doctor if my cholesterol levels didn't drop in 3 months.

Retired UK cardiac rehab nurse here. Happy to see your video today. I was fighting the narrative on cholesterol for the last few years of my employment. I retired a decade ago. It seemed utterly obvious to me but mostly it fell on deaf ears.. the old narrative and constant bombardment on tv etc was too much to enable people to question their doctor’s decision. As with so many things nowadays the “consensus” argument is so adhered to it is almost heresy to question it. But we must constantly question and reevaluate when necessary. According to the conventional idea , my decades old diet of fresh food, plus loads of traditional saturated fats and few carbs should have seen me off years ago and yet here I am, slim, healthy and zero medication at 75 yrs.

A number of years ago, my previous GP told me to try a low dose of statins. One week later I had to stop because of liver pain. When I told her this, she said stick with it or take a week off and try it again. Now my new Doctor wants me on statins and I refused. My triglycerides are 71, HDL 61, LDL (the so-called bad cholesterol) is 149 - total cholesterol 222. Big pharma has ruin medical care.

The health organization ( big pharma ) have changed the numbers on many tests. Blood pressure used to be normal at 140 but now it’s high and needing medication

A a nurse I was told years ago that the original study was likely flawed and that we really don’t know if elevated cholesterol levels lead to heart disease or are the body’s natural response to a damaged heart. After hearing this and seeing how many physicians are quick to put patients on cholesterol, I determined never to take statins. In my mid sixties, and for the first time in my life I had an abnormal HDL during a recent checkup. It was low as was my LDL. My physician immediately sent a script to my pharmacy for a statin which I did not fill. Subsequent tests have not shown any abnormal results. I wish that the general public could understand that every medication we take is also a poison and we should not be so quick to consume them.

Wait, he wanted to put you on statins for having low cholesterol? They will realy use any excuse to push that-poison

From my perspective as a diabetic, my logic runs like this. Sugar damages blood vessel walls. The role of cholesterol is repair of blood vessels. The body is good at producing what's needed, so when blood vessels are damaged, cholesterol is appropriately dispatched. So naturally, where you find blood vessel damage, you find cholesterol - and of course where you find that cholesterol, you find blood vessel disease. A mistake of cause and effect. I observed something interesting in myself. As part of my restriction of carbs, I went to full fat dairy, heavy creme for coffee, Irish butter, full buttermilk, creme cheese, etc. as well as plenty of bacon. Those forms have little or no carbohydrate. The next month, my total cholesterol had dropped markedly. I believe that was simply because I had less circulating glucose and lower spikes, so less cholesterol was needed. But medical dogma dies hard and always has.

@@retrotek0409 First of all, this is not scientific certainty. Most of medicine is informed guessing. Professional guessers are called physicians. And every field has its deeply embedded dogma, which is long-lived. Part of my suspicion is because the sugar industry years ago paid two professors to produce study results that demonized fat and absolved sugar of all blame. One of those professors went on to be head of a federal nutrition agency. And out of that grew the cholesterol notions and the very profitable statins. Physicians were just applying what they were taught and what studies seemed to confirm, especially when the statistical methods were biased. And they are very attracted to a therapy in a bottle. Once the idea takes hold, then other studies tend to confirm the findings. Yes, where there's obstruction, there also is cholesterol. Denying the dogma can be just like a priest who denies dogma - your faith is questioned, and you may get cast out, in science meaning that your papers don't get published. Now, this is not willful lying or an ongoing conspiracy. Everyone does believe in what they're doing. But I spent many years working with expert witnesses, and they all believed in their conclusions. If the conclusions were palpably absurd, it didn't mean they were being dishonest. They were simply letting bias rule. Busy physicians do not have the time to do deep critical reading in the specialized journals of every field. And they are not divine and are therefor limited by their own natural abilities, and they are not particularly more able to properly apply proper scientific practice. What do you call someone who finished med school with a D average? Doctor. (Actually some have a higher threshold, and many do only pass/fail. Pass/fail is safe. It doesn't leave numbers lying around for malpractice attorneys to harp on.) And as in most things, it likely not so simple. No matter whey the cholesterol was dispatched, there may be good reason to worry about how it's working at the site where it is used. Plus, offer someone options of permanent and dramatic lifestyle changes and all the effort that goes with it or a pill, and see what happens. It is indeed a debate. But today, at least there is debate. Just because high cholesterol is not necessarily an evil, trans fats may still be bad for you. There are reasons to worry about LDL's. But most olf the things that raise LDL levels are lifestyle and environmental issues. Here's what an expert who rejects the dogma says. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4684135/ I like this line: "I told him in no uncertain terms that elevated cholesterol was not the problem. Rather, the problem was a measure of his unhealthy diet and lifestyle, which the drugs could not fix." The patient took the pills and was dead in less than ten years without reaching 60. You won't find any pat answers, but be careful not to create your own answers to suit your own biases. It's not simple.

Several years ago, I was so sick of hearing about older people who lived to a ripe old age due to being a vegetarian, I did a search on the oldest person alive, which at that time was a 116 year old Italian lady who ate the same thing every day. Three eggs, a plate of raw meat and some fresh pasta. Virtually no vegetables or fruit. She had been told as a young lady that she was anemic and this was the diet that was prescribed. So, she stayed on it her entire life. You will never her about her in the medical press or mainstream media. Wonder why??

Yes, just look on the cemetery. Those generations who lived longest have been those born in or short after the second world war. Their diet was everything that is considered a bad diet today. And besides this, everyone knows that heart attacks and strokes are more a genetically thing. There are people where it runs in the family and for generations people die around the same age, though they lived in completely different times and environments.

I'd heard about some of these findings several years ago when my doctors started hounding me about having what the textbooks considered to be "High Cholesterol" levels. I was just at a routine doctor's appointment yesterday to go over my latest blood tests focusing on my cholesterol levels. Virtually every doctor I've ever seen who had ordered cholesterol testing on me all rattled off almost verbatim, the big-pharma warnings of not getting my cholesterol levels down. My latest blood tests showed that my cholesterol levels had "Improved" by a few points compared to the previous tests. I had already researched the information presented in this video so, I didn't really care what my latest blood testing indicated. The sad irony here is that at least three of the doctors from my past that warned me adamantly about lowering my cholesterol levels are now no longer among the living. They're dead, and I'm still alive. Go figure. I'm going to have to forward this video to my doctor, even though I know that she'll most likely side with big pharma.

@@davidrockefeller2007 cost would depend on where you live and the access you have to farm meat and eggs/bacon vs store bought. I eat mostly red meat and eggs. Skin on chicken and pork added in once or twice per week. However, I started out on what’s known as BBB&E (beef, butter, bacon, eggs) until I lost the excess weight that has crept on as I approach 60 yo. My husband had a mild stroke in Sept 2023, and I purged our home of all junk, and carbohydrates. The only dairy we use is heavy cream. At this point we’re both healthier and actually eat less than when we ate a standard American diet. If I crave crunchy, I eat spicy pork rinds, or bacon chips (bacon I’ve cut up and cooked in a covered pot). So, living in NY, if I had to guess at a daily cost of eating for both of us (hubby still eats low GI veggies that don’t create a huge insulin response), I’d estimate about $20 per day for everything both of us consume. That would include about 8lbs of bacon, and roughly 8 dozen eggs per month. Meats I get from Omaha steaks (found a deal I subscribed to that gives me a variety of steak burgers made from sirloin, rib, filet mignon…68 count, and some pork for $130./3 mos), and White Oak Pastures meats which cost me about $250 for 50lbs of different red meats. However, they are a fresh farm and their meats aren’t aged. There is also a company I tried recently called, ‘Just Meats’ which gives you precooked meats in a variety of dishes. My first subscription was for 13 different meats/recipes for $110. For the two of us it worked out to be 26 meals. There are so many different meat delivery companies out there, so you’d have to look at them and see if they fit your personal budget. I will say, our groceries average $500 or less for two people per month. Which is much cheaper than what it was with all the excess chips, dairy, snacks etc… The plus is, we don’t have the munchies, we feel better, no bloating, gas, mental fog, tiredness, and when I eat the occasional veggie, I have been able to tell if they cause any type of inflammation or off feeling with my body.

Thanks a lot. It's really sad that so many health care professionals appear to be unhealthy in ways that are avoidable (not referring to conditions outside their control). It also really demotivates patients, since it reinforces the false idea that poor health is just inevitable.

Because bigger criminals are at the top running things.

In the late 80's when my gynecologist started testing my cholesterol as part of the "exam", I thought that was weird and refused to get on meds. My dad, who was in his late 70's; he was always in great shape, had cholesterol levels in the high 200's. Around that same time, he was tested for irregular heart beats (which turned out to be nothing) but his test results showed all his valves were clear. At that point, I saw absolutely no correlation between high cholesterol numbers and blocked arties. If his levels were "dangerously high" yet no blockages existed when he was in his late 70's, what did it all mean? To me, it meant it was all BS.

I’ve had high cholesterol for years. No amount of exercise or change in diet seemed to make any difference. I just had a CAC scan to see if I had any plaque so I could make an informed decision about statins. My score was 0 so I’m not going to take statins. My parents are in their mid eighties and they both have high cholesterol so I guess it’s just normal for my family as all my siblings have high cholesterol too.

My elderly mother felt dizzy sitting up and again when standing. She had a SIGNIFICANT (BAD) drop in blood pressure upon standing, BUT she was ALSO told her blood pressure was too high and was given the "appropriate" drugs for that. We stopped them and she has borderline-ish high blood pressure but she sure as hell doesn't get dizzy anymore! The doctor says she's with this more-elevated level, AND at least she now gets up and moves since she's not dizzy.

Hubby & I started changing our lifestyle last March, from SAD to a form of KETO, but we still eat beans of every kind. I make my own: butter, salad dressings; cook everything from scratch; no sugar, flour, pasta, white rice/potatoes; no eating after 7:30 pm; no processed foods; olive, coconut, or avocado oil, increased flax, psyllium husk, chia seeds, and no eating out. Use raw milk to make homemade Greek yogurt, and buy free range eggs from a friend. And we fast lots ... maybe eat 10-12 meals a week, with our longest fast being 72 hours! The savings allow us to buy veggies/ meat from an organic farmer, plus I can/ pickle/preserve everything that comes off my huge garden. We started in March, 2023, I'm no longer insulin resistant, hubby was taking 60 units a day of insulin, and is now down to under 60 units/week! We walk 30 mins a day, and do weights 2x a week. And we're each down 80 pounds in weight ~ to put that in perspective, we were feeding 160 pound person between us ... think of the money we've saved! Spring forward to May of this year, and my cholesterol was up. Overall was egads 250, and LDL was 190. Of course the doc does what a good doctor soldier should and ordered me up some statins, which I have no intention of taking ever. I’m never going back to the SAD diet, and will continue eating what we’ve been eating. There’s no heart disease or cancer in my immediate family, I’ve NEVER smoked, and have not drank for years. So, really if taking statins increases my lifespan by hmmm 10 years, but I might up unnecessarily demented what’s the point? We get on our tread everyday for 30 minutes and work out with weights 2 hours a week. I wish I could find a real doctor who appreciates what my hubby and I have achieved and have maintained for over a year. But that’s like trying to find a unicorn.

I worked with a cardiac consultant when I was in nurse training (early 90s) He told us that it's inflammation that causes plaques to form in blood vessels, the vessel's lumen becomes rough due to constant inflammation, reduce the inflammation and the atherosclerosis stops. This was proven in myself an overweight, high LDL cholesterol, hypothyroid older woman with chest pain. Having a heart scan with dye they found zero calcium build up even in the tiniest vessels. Why? Because I have auto immune disease for which I take ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory medication on a daily basis.

I found some good advice many years ago and it's been pretty successful. Stay away from your local GP as much as possible. We refused the jibby jabby and haven't seen a doctor since 2020. Exercise, positive thinking and fasting have left us two feeling fantastic.

Cholesterol is a vital. We need lots of it. Women entering menopause need vast amounts of it. There is a reason your body makes varied amounts at different times in your life. The worst diet is low fat, seed oils, synthetic sugars, processed factory foods. If your bread is wrapped in plastic it isn't bread despite the label. If your bread lasts longer than 48 hours it is not bread.

I have stopped taking statins. My cholesterol has gone up slightly, but i dont care. The Dr. Told me if I take statins it reduces the chance of a heart attack or stroke by 10%. He had no answer when i pointed out that his statement meant that i had a 90% chance of not getting either.

The problem (for me) is that if you see a doctor and they send you for a blood test and the LDL comes back even slightly high, they instantly bang on about statins, even when told that you won't take them, and if you go against their advice and don't take them, what's the point of going to to the doctor? How do you get an honest and, more importantly, up-to-date opinion without going to the doctor?

True story … about 15 years ago, my sister (who’s a Canadian) would winter in Palm Springs. One day one of her American friends was over to her house, and asked her where “all her medications were?” My sister said she’d been to many America’s homes and noted the myriad of medications for 2 people, literally filled card tables! So, when one of them asked her about her medications, she opened her cupboard and handed her the only bottle of anything she took. It’s so common to go to the doctor, sick, and their answer is ALWAYS the same, “I’ll call a script in for you!” The LAST thing they want to do is figure out the root cause of anything! It’s like a car wash, in/out as fast as possible, doc collects his100.00, everyone’s a winner but us.

Half of the GPs I have seen did so, when I presented them with evidence from their colleagues working in research or epidemiology. A burn-out rate of 30-40% is surely an indicator that GPs don't have the time to keep up-to-date.

Nice to know that not all drs are controlled by non medically trained beurocrats and the pharma industry. Unfortunately there are very few like you in Australia. I'm guessing you have come across Nicholas Norwich, a medical student in the USA who's motto is to " stay curious". While drs stay curious then we can have some form of protection against the bone headed beurocrats. Another of your British compatriats Dr rasheed malhotra is also worthy of note for standing up against said beurocrats, who proposed lowering the cholesterol threshold for recommending statin prescription. Happily the beurocrat was overruled on this occasion.

I have refused to take statins after they said i had high LDL. I eat mostly raw veggies - with a little meat, fish, eggs here and there. I eat no carbs or sugar. I don't drink. I think they just don't understand the way i live.

I've given up seed oils (corn, vegetable, Canola) and gone to Lard, Tallow, Butter and Olive oil. After switching, my cholesterol has been within normal range for a full year now, when before it was very high. Not telling you what to do, just what I did and the effect.

Kudos to my cardiologist. He took me off them. He said it destroys leg muscles.

2 years ago one of my GP insisted that I should take statins as my cholesterol level is slightly high and in 10 years time I will have some diverticular disease and I replied I’ll wait and I know that , that’s why I change my lifestyle for the last 5 years I don’t drink, smoke , and I don’t eat meat , I was borderline diabetic and I managed to reverse it for 4 years now, I do yoga 5 x a week, walk everyday and on Sunday I do my 2 hours walk routine .

Came by chance on your video on KZread and finely as an ex nurse I hear some sense. Not being from the States but from Europe I can assure you that here it is the same thing ( not only for the statins medics prescribe also for their own profits) over the years working in that field one finds out certain things are not ending up. Shall follow you for other topics. I am 73 and still having my books and at hand every day and do my research in medical magazines. The times I clash with medics opinion about medication is enormous some are so stubborn or willing to understand certain facts and figures not to believe. Too many medics are superficial once they have their doctorate. And the thing is it is not only about cholesterol but many other things. Here in Italy was nearly jailed for refusing Covid vacin a few years ago because I always been a person who would contest certain medicine or treatment not only for myself but also for patients and one can understand where this leads to. Keep up the good work and inform people as much as you can.

I had such a terrible reaction to statin for cholesterol even my doctor was in awe when I went back to let her know what was happening to me. I have stayed away from it ever since. I can recall meeting a cousin of a friend of mine who was a young German Doctor and in a conversation about food and cholesterol came into the conversation, he brushed it aside and stated, " we need cholesterol " boy was I elated 😄 however, I do believe in managing our health.

Why does cholesterol go down when these patients were on vegetable oil? Why does any resource go down? Thats not a tough question, and the answer is obvious. Resources go down WHEN THEY ARE USED. One of the most important jobs of cholesterol is healing. Damage control. When people intake vegetable oil, cholesterol goes down, as it repairs the damage caused by vegetable oil. Why would vegetable oils cause damage? One reason might be because they are not natural. They are man made. How do you get oil out of something? Squeeze it. Olive oil can be squeezed to give you olive oil. Avocado oil is gotten the same way as well as coconut oil. One might call these fruit oil (that term just came to me, I dont like it). But you cannot squeeze corn and get the oil out of it. You need to use chemical extraction. They use HEXANE to extract the oil. Hexane is a by product of petroleum distillation. Used to make gasoline, kerosene, propane, hexane. Those tall skinny smoke stacks at the oil refinery, that often has flaming vapors coming out the top. At different levels in this smoke stack are condensation points (my term, I dont know what they are really called) that collect each type of gas. The heavier stuff at the bottom and lighter stuff as you go up. But hexane is one of these. Hexane draws oil out of the corn. Any vegetable has oils or fats in it that can be drawn out. Simply flow the hexane over it, it draws out the oils, bottle it. Tada! You have corn oil, or safflower oil, or palm oil, or non-virgin olive oil. The stuff you can no longer squeeze out can be extracted using hexane. But here is the catch… these oils need to be heated to a certain temperature to remove the hexane from the oil. So besides being a plant based oil, if thats not damaging enough, and it is damaging, you need to deal with the petroleum by products. Sorry about all of that, but its good to know where vegetable oil comes from, as well as seed oils, these are made the same way. Hexane extraction. So back to cholesterol… the patients getting vegetable oil are getting damaged. The cholesterol goes down as a result of being used. When the damage is repaired, it goes right back up to where it was before. You can see this take place in the “Oreos vs Statins” experiment. I forget his name. Smart guy, figures shit out. He ate a sleeve of Oreos a day, and his cholesterol went down A LOT. He did this for several weeks. He then let levels rise back up to normal, and did the test again, this time taking statins. It went down, but no where near the amount of drop from the cookies. Again, drop can come from healing damage. Any carbohydrate will probably cause this. Sugar damages the body. Cholesterol heals it. This always gets overlooked in these “studies”. Which are epidemiological studies. Which can not inform on risk. The guy in the video kept saying risk of death, but instead he should have been saying “the incidence” of death. Because when you use epidemiology, you can not asses risk. The data just isn’t there.
