Put everyone over 40 on cholesterol-lowering meds, but be prepared for side effects like dementia, muscle wasting, Alzheimer's, memory loss, and now breast cancer. A couple in their 70s stopped the wife's Lipitor after 10 years due to memory issues. Within 3 days, her memory returned, preventing her move to aged care. Many in aged care with memory problems may be due to cholesterol meds, which the speaker finds almost criminal.

It was perfectly fine for a cholesterol of 300. We considered a cholesterol level of 350 perfectly fine. What are you told today? It can't go over 190. What do they want you down to? 150? Do you know the fattiest organ in the body is the brain? And cholesterol is used to protect the brain against chemicals, heavy metals. The cholesterol lowering medication, its side effect is dementia, muscle wasting, Alzheimer's, breast cancer, vitamin D deficiency because our sex hormones are made from cholesterol. And if we don't have enough vitamin D, we can't get the minerals into our bones to have strong bones. So what do we got now? Osteoporosis. Framingham Heart Study been going for forty years, set up to prove that cholesterol causes heart disease still hasn't forty years later. But you know what it did show? People with high cholesterol levels don't get Alzheimer's.

Cholesterol is not linked to heart disease. Ancel Keys, a researcher, committed scientific fraud by falsely claiming a connection between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. Despite evidence of this fraud, cardiologists and primary care physicians continue to prescribe statins based on outdated guidelines due to malpractice concerns. In the past, cholesterol levels of 300-350 were considered normal, and people were generally healthier without the focus on cholesterol management. The real cause of cardiovascular disease is damage to the glycocalyx, a crucial but often overlooked organ in the body.

The speaker claims they have elevated cholesterol but do not need a statin because they eat a significant amount of saturated fat from animal meat and avoid seed oils, which raises LDL cholesterol. They believe a classically trained doctor would recommend a statin, but elevated cholesterol does not mean increased cardiovascular disease risk. The speaker claims that eating in this way means they are metabolically healthy, or insulin sensitive. They assert that medical literature shows elevated LDL is not a significant cardiovascular risk factor in healthy individuals with high HDL, low triglycerides, and low fasting insulin. They also claim there is no evidence that statins lower cardiovascular risk in healthy individuals like themselves, but statins will increase the risk of negative side effects.

People with high cholesterol levels purportedly don't get Alzheimer's because the brain loves fat. A good cholesterol level is suggested to be 200-250. It's claimed that many people are on cholesterol-lowering medication and fat-free diets, leading to increased carb consumption due to a lack of satiation. The speaker alleges cholesterol levels have been lowered to get more people on medication and that people are eating margarine. Despite these changes, heart disease is purportedly still the number one killer.

40 years ago, a cholesterol level of 300 was considered fine, but now it's not. Cholesterol protects the brain and is crucial for hormone production. Medications that lower cholesterol can lead to dementia, muscle loss, and other health issues. The Framingham Heart Study aimed to link cholesterol to heart disease but found no connection after 40 years. Surprisingly, high cholesterol levels may protect against Alzheimer's.

Millions of healthy Americans are taking statins due to corrupt cholesterol guidelines. In 2001, the National Cholesterol Education Program lowered the threshold for high cholesterol, and again in 2004, qualifying millions more for statins. Eight of nine panel members writing the 2004 guidelines had financial ties to statin manufacturers. In 2013, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology updated guidelines, removing the LDL threshold and qualifying over 70% of healthy Americans for statins. Many panel members had financial ties to statin manufacturers; Jennifer Robinson received over $3 million from statin companies after the 2013 guidelines. Studies used to make recommendations were designed and funded by statin companies and are not publicly available. Statins have side effects like liver dysfunction, renal failure, and dementia. Dr. Jon Abramson suggested focusing on diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking instead of converting millions into statin customers.

"Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease. Zero." "Here's the thing. Ansel Keyes was a researcher. He committed scientific fraud." "He lied on the papers that determined them saying, oh, look, cholesterol is highly implicated in cardiovascular disease." "Turns out he lied. They've proven there was fraud, but yet all the cardiologists and all the PCPs, because the standard of care guideline is still if the cholesterol is this number two zero one, you better prescribe a statin." "And if you don't, we will not defend you in the court of law if you get sued." "My grandmother was alive, the normal cholesterol at my age was 350." "So everybody used to walk around with 300, 350, and it was very normal." "They have not educated you on what really is causing it." "What's causing cardiovascular disease is damage to what's called the glycocalyx." "The glycocalyx is probably the largest organ in your body, and none of you have even heard of it."

Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease, zero. Ansel Keyes was a researcher who committed scientific fraud, lying on the papers that determined them, saying cholesterol is highly implicated in cardiovascular disease. They know he lied; we’ve proven there was fraud. But yet all the cardiologists and all the PCPs, because the standard of care guideline is still if the cholesterol is this number “two zero one,” you better prescribe a statin, and if you don't, we will not defend you in the court of law if you get sued. That’s why they all do it, because of their malpractice. I’ve had physicians tell me this. They’re like, of course we know they’re bullshit. When my grandmother was alive, the normal cholesterol at my age was 350. So everybody used to walk around with three hundred three hundred fifty and it was very normal and they were all skinny and nobody worked out. Nobody was fat in 1950, 60, 70, they were thin. Three twenty, three fifty, that was normal. In the labs, two physicians, that’s normal. Nobody was treated. Three fifty is not high. I’m sorry they have not educated you on what really is causing it. What’s causing cardiovascular disease is damage to what’s called the glycocalyx. The glycocalyx is probably the largest organ in your body and none of you have even heard of it.

- You do not die of too much cholesterol. You die of not enough. I will say this one more time. You do not die of too much cholesterol. There is no such thing as too much cholesterol. - You die only from not enough because we know only cholesterol builds healthy cells. Every single cell in your system, 87% of the new cell is built from cholesterol. It's completely artificially made up. I have patients that have cholesterol of 600. They're the healthiest people, never been sick. - Statin drugs are dangerous, and please remember your brain is built from cholesterol. Ninety ninety two to 99% of the brain is built from cholesterol. The brain shrinks first. With every statin drug, you start shrinking your brain. And this is what people need to understand. - It's mass murder. It always leads to hardening of the liver. It always cuts off at least twenty years of your lifespan.

Statin drugs are considered mass murder and always lead to hardening of the liver, cutting off at least twenty years of lifespan. The claim is that you do not die of too much cholesterol, but from not enough, as cholesterol is essential for building healthy cells. The idea that 250 is the ideal cholesterol level was made up without scientific basis, based on testing people with poor diets. Some patients with cholesterol levels of 600 are healthy and have never been sick. Statin drugs are the most dangerous, useless drugs ever invented. Statin drugs shrink the brain because 92-99% of the brain is built from cholesterol.

The speaker discusses the role of cholesterol in the body, emphasizing that it is not the enemy. They explain how cholesterol is essential for brain function and repairing damaged cells. The speaker criticizes the overprescription of cholesterol-lowering medications, citing harmful side effects like memory loss and dementia. They share personal stories of individuals who experienced positive changes after stopping these medications. Additionally, the speaker questions the lowering of cholesterol level standards over time, suggesting it may be driven by profit rather than health concerns. The harmful effects of margarine and the misconception surrounding cholesterol and heart disease are also highlighted.

Your brain is made of cholesterol, and statin drugs lower cholesterol. Do you want a brain the size of a marble? Keep taking them. You don't die from too much cholesterol, but from not enough. There is no such thing as too much cholesterol. Burn units use many eggs for patients because cholesterol builds healthy cells, about 87% of a new cell. The 250 cholesterol number is made up with no real science. Some of my patients have cholesterol of 600 and are healthy. The issue comes from table salt, which contains glass that cuts arteries, causing internal bleeding. Cholesterol then saves your life by stopping the bleeding, but it is then blamed for narrowing arteries and raising blood pressure. Statin drugs are dangerous and useless. They shrink your brain because your brain is built from cholesterol. Eat bananas on an empty stomach in the morning to help your liver. Just help your body; it cures itself.

The speaker states they would never take statin drugs because cholesterol is not the cause of plaque in arteries, claiming cholesterol is our friend. They cite confirmed statin drug side effects including muscle symptoms, abdominal issues, skin rashes, hair loss, decreased platelets, sexual dysfunction, mental and emotional problems like depression and suicidal thoughts, inflammation, cognitive issues, diabetes, and ineffective exercise. The speaker suggests that instead of focusing on lowering cholesterol, the focus should be on preventing plaque by addressing the actual causes: sugar and seed oils. They claim that eliminating these will avoid many health problems. The speaker also mentions natural foods and supplements can help with cardiovascular health and lower cholesterol.

An integrative doctor with 15 years of experience argues that cholesterol is not the villain and that money heavily influences the medical system. In the 1970s, doctors weren’t aggressively screening for cholesterol because it wasn’t seen as a villain; cholesterol is something the body makes and it is necessary for many bodily functions. By 1984, the government launched the National Cholesterol Education Program, a move the doctor says was largely funded by pharmaceutical companies that were introducing their first statin medications. The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology also contributed to these guidelines, and the doctor claims both organizations were heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies. Based on this, the doctor suggests that if you’ve been told to take a statin or have been shamed for having high cholesterol, you should revisit the issue because cholesterol is not the villain; our bodies produce it and we need it for everything in the body.

A lipidologist comments on the dynamic variability of cholesterol levels, criticizing extreme fasting and exercise as abnormal and dangerous. The speaker argues that such practices are consistent with human history and physiology, challenging conventional medical beliefs. The lipid energy model is discussed, highlighting the body's ability to adapt to energy demands. The speaker criticizes modern medicine's reliance on pharmaceuticals and lack of understanding of human biology. The absurdity of the lipidologist's comments is emphasized, with the speaker questioning the necessity of constant eating and sedentary behavior. The speaker concludes by inviting feedback on the topic.

Forty years ago, a cholesterol level of 300 was considered fine, but now anything above 190 requires cholesterol-lowering medication, which can cause Alzheimer's, dementia, muscle wasting, memory loss, and breast cancer. The Framingham Heart Study, intended to prove cholesterol causes heart disease, instead showed that people with high cholesterol don't get Alzheimer's because the brain, the body's fattiest organ, thrives on fat. Depriving the brain of fat is a disaster. If someone is on a fat-free diet, cholesterol-lowering medication, has mercury fillings, and eats fish daily, it's a recipe for brain damage. If you are on cholesterol-lowering medication, you can stop immediately and your memory will return.

The speaker claims the American Heart Association fabricated evidence to support the idea that cholesterol causes heart attacks, and that some scientists agree there is no evidence. They assert that when people cut out vegetable oils and eat healthier, their cholesterol may increase, leading doctors to recommend statins, which the speaker calls dangerous. The speaker advises listeners to become more knowledgeable than their doctors, who they believe are miseducated. They mention having a chapter in their book, "Dark Calories," about this topic.

Your doctor says your cholesterol is too high. "What was considered acceptable cholesterol in 1960 was 300, then two forty, then 200." Every time they lower that number, another fifty million Americans need drugs. "Pfizer made a $125,000,000,000 selling Lipitor, the best selling drug in human history." For every one thousand healthy people who take statins, they prevent exactly one heart attack. The other nine hundred and ninety nine just get side effects. "Up to twenty nine percent of them develop muscle soreness so severe they can't exercise, which actually prevents heart disease." "Nine percent of them develop diabetes, which actually causes heart disease." "Eight out of nine members had financial ties to statin manufacturers. The chairman was paid by five different pharmaceutical companies." "Your brain is 25% cholesterol. Every single hormone in your body needs it." "Those with higher cholesterol lived longer, not shorter." The guidelines are written by Big Pharma's payroll. "Forty million Americans are on statins right now." It's a "$20,000,000,000 annual market" for a drug that helps "zero point one percent" of the people who take it. Share this before your doctor prescribes you a solution for a problem you don't have.

The speaker outlines the historical changes in blood pressure guidelines and raises questions about what is considered normal or target. - In 1970, the criteria for high blood pressure was 160/90, at which point doctors began discussing medications with patients. There was also an age-based rule of thumb: the systolic number should be “100 plus your age,” so a 70-year-old could have a blood pressure around 170/whatever and still be considered acceptable. - About thirty years ago, the teaching in medical education shifted to a threshold of 140/90 for initiating medication, meaning patients with high blood pressure were typically sent to their primary care doctor to consider treatment. - In 2017, a study prompted another change, suggesting blood pressure should be lower than 120/80. The speaker describes this as a “pretty lofty goal,” noting that it is a level “that almost hardly anyone can pass.” - The speaker highlights real-world factors affecting readings: arriving at a doctor’s office stressed or caffeinated, being rushed, taking measurements with the cuff over clothing, and other situational issues that can push readings above 120/80. - The question is raised: is the push for lower targets driven by corporate greed from pharmaceutical companies, aiming to lower margins so most people would require medication, or by altruistic motives to prevent heart attacks or strokes? The speaker asks viewers to share their opinions in the comments. - The speaker acknowledges the hypothetical possibility that, regardless of age, blood pressure could be below 120/80, and notes there may be ways to achieve a normal reading for an individual. The central question remains: what is normal blood pressure? - The discussion shifts to whether blood pressure targets should differ by age, asking what the ideal blood pressure should be at ages 20 versus 80, and noting that research may support different needs across ages. It is pointed out that for many elderly individuals, some research suggests higher blood pressure targets might be appropriate, with the observation that people with low blood pressure due to multiple medications may have worse health outcomes or shorter lifespans than those with higher readings. - The speaker poses these as important questions to reflect on, mentioning that there is research suggesting varying recommendations for the elderly and that questions about historical patterns remain open. The transcript ends with leaving these issues for readers to ponder rather than asserting definitive answers.

I can't really help someone that's on stabbing drugs. These are the cholesterol meds that came out in 1987 and screwed up an entire generation. Cholesterol is not the problem. If cholesterol was the problem, then heart disease would've went way down, but it hasn't. In fact, heart disease is the number one killer in America. Yet, there's millions and millions of people on statin drugs, which is a cholesterol lowering medication. It directly inflames the liver and creates a cholesterol deficiency. This ultimately leads to brain conditions like Alzheimer's. If you check the stats, it peaked in the nineteen nineties.

The speaker claims the American Heart Association fabricated evidence that cholesterol causes heart attacks, and that this evidence is nonsensical. They assert that when people cut out vegetable oils and eat healthier, their cholesterol may rise, leading doctors to recommend statins, which the speaker calls dangerous. The speaker advises listeners to become more knowledgeable than their doctors, who they believe are miseducated. They mention a chapter in their book, "Dark Calories," that covers this topic.

Statin drugs are considered mass murder and always lead to hardening of the liver, cutting off at least twenty years of lifespan. The claim is that you do not die of too much cholesterol, but from not enough, as cholesterol is essential for building healthy cells. The idea that 250 is the ideal cholesterol level was made up with no scientific basis, based on testing people eating trash. Some patients with cholesterol of 600 are the healthiest people. Statin drugs are the most dangerous, useless drugs ever invented. Statin drugs shrink the brain because 92 to 99% of the brain is built from cholesterol.

To make someone chronically ill and dependent on drugs, one should have them eat the standard American diet, lower their cholesterol below 200, and give them proton pump inhibitors. This creates nutrient and vitamin D deficiencies due to lack of cholesterol, as well as testosterone and estrogen deficiencies. The result is a lifetime of illness requiring multiple drugs, as additional medications are needed to mitigate the side effects of the initial drugs, leading to polypharmacy. The FDA is supposed to protect us, but is influenced by big pharma, due to the large profits made from drug therapy.
