There is one scientifically-proven FACT about cholesterol that is beyond question: we NEED it and we need LOTS of it. All else is rumor and false science. It’s marketing twaddle, in fact, not science at all.
When I was at med school, a “normal” cholesterol was about 265 mg. You’d think that was terrible today, due to constant brain-washing and propagandizing. But that’s just an altered emphasis, not altered human physiology.
Over the years, lower became “better” and there were people (Mike Adams comes to mind) boasting they had got their cholesterol down to 165mg or so. You cannot be healthy with a cholesterol so low. You’d be unable to make healthy testosterone and estrogen, with all the complications that implies.
Now all this is beyond scientific question: a major study in a major (prestige) journal has shown that cholesterol levels are not related AT ALL to cardiovascular risks. Meaning cholesterol levels were NEVER related to cardiovascular risk.[1]
And that means the entire multi-billion dollar edifice of statins from ‘Big Pharma’ is a pack of lies and was always a pack of lies.
I’ve been howling for decades that statin drugs have no proven benefit for any woman, ever, and also have no proven benefit for any man who has not had a heart attack. Add to that: the “evidence” of benefit for a man who has had a heart attack is scanty to nothing and the scale of the con game that Big Pharma has being working can be seen and it is staggering.
Not only do statins have no proven benefit, STATINS ARE PROVED TO BE HEART-TOXIC. These drugs tear up your CoQ10, one of the most vital substances your heart needs, to go on pumping, day in day out, month in, month out, year after year after year.[2]
Statins slowly kill the patient but the finger of suspicion never point to pharmaceuticals. “The patient died of a heart attack,” they make sure it’s written up that way. It’s a perfect blind…
And it’s sickening.
The New Study
In a sentence, so-called “bad cholesterol” does not accurately predict future cardiovascular events and is not a good indicator of the underlying causes of heart disease. In other words, statins are irrelevant to health.
Yet statins have been a billion industry for decades: in 2017 it was estimated to be around $20 billion.[3]
The media and scientific literature go on and on extolling the virtues of this class of drugs, over major diet and lifestyle changes. “Safe and effective” is the phrase I read over and over. This huge lie has been repeated so often that I think a lot of doctors actually believe it.
That’s the power of a slogan. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister understood it well. “Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it,” he is reputed to have said.
Well, as I said, statins are proven worthless, not effective. There are around 300 side effects been reported, many of which are life-threatening. STATINS ARE NOT SAFE AT ALL.
“Safe and effective” is a Goebbels-sized lie.
A New Idea
There’s a magical (shouldn’t really use that term) nutraceutical from a member of the citrus family, called Bergamot. It grows in lots of places but the best of the best comes from the Calabria region of southern Italy.
