If cholesterol is a nutrient essential to life and health, to building new cells and to repairing damage caused by inflammation, what do you think the outcome of blocking cholesterol would be?
Thank you so much for this article! I did not know cognition is dependent on cholesterol, and many other things mentioned here. I learned in 1991 that I could take a drug, alter the number in my body, and still have the condition. It had to do with an excruciating dislocated clavicle injury which no one could diagnose and a sed rate of 90, which I was told was 3x the norm. After 1mo. my sed rate was 30, and still I was in horrible pain. So, I was later told I had connective joint tissue disease for which I required meds for life. I rejected that idea as the pain was in 1 spot only and consistently awful. I finally, after 18 months, found someone who correctly diagnosed my clavicle was out of the socket. So many years later when I was told my cholesterol was high and statin was recommended, I didn’t go for it. The part I still don’t understand is the mechanism by which the numbers get altered and reflected in the bloodwork.
If you search “how do statins work,” it is explained like this: “Statins, also known as HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, work by reducing the amount of cholesterol the liver produces and helping the liver remove cholesterol from the blood. Statins do this by blocking an enzyme in the liver that's important for cholesterol synthesis.” So they really do lower cholesterol, but that is a bad thing, not a good thing.
I was at a small convention and a cardiologist was talking about the medication pathway he put all his patients on... statins were #1. Another charlatan.
I was prescribed statins by my doctor to lower my cholesterol. My nerves and brain were damaged and I couldn't stand up properly. When I researched and found out these are caused by statins I stopped taking them, and my symptoms were eased and then disappeared.

Thank you for the explanation. I trust the enzyme is there for a good reason so blocking it sounds counterintuitive.
Unbelievable 🙄. Glad you figured that out!

It’s also very likely he’s blind. I estimate that most doctors are unknowing rather than evil.
Phenomenal information! Thank you.

Thank you so much for this testimony.

Excellent collection!
Great Part 2. To be safe, take as little medication (if any) as possible.
Excellent article. Thank you.
Statins killed my Mother and I will never forget how awful her last years were.
😭 I am so sorry to hear! 💔
I remember reading advocacy some years ago by doctors to add statins to the water supply.
