The speaker criticizes the healthcare system, advising people not to get sick or go to the hospital because they believe it will lead to death. They suggest focusing on a healthy lifestyle instead. They mention that Americans have the lowest life expectancy despite spending the most on healthcare. The speaker also questions the effectiveness of cholesterol medication, stating that it increases the risk of diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. They mention a study showing that high cholesterol levels in elderly patients are associated with better survival rates. The speaker highlights the backlash faced by doctors with dissenting views on COVID and emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's own health through lifestyle choices. The transcript ends with an advertisement for a supplement called Meta Radiance.

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.

A cardiologist discusses statins, cholesterol-lowering drugs prescribed to prevent heart attacks. He analyzed data showing that for most Americans taking statins who are not at high risk, the benefit is a 1% chance of preventing a non-fatal heart attack or non-disabling stroke over five years, without prolonging life. This is based on drug industry-sponsored data. Between 20-50% of patients experience quality-of-life-limiting side effects like muscle pain, fatigue, brain fog, erectile dysfunction, joint pain, and stomach issues. Some patients diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's have seen memory return after stopping statins. The speaker advises patients to discuss this information with their doctors and suggests the website theNNT.com for more information on drug benefits and harms. He also mentions his book, "A Statin-Free Life," for further details.

- The speaker claims cholesterol is one of the most important things in the body and asserts, from “the scientific literature in cardiology,” that “everything that you hear in the advertisements for lowering cholesterol is fraudulent.” They say, “Cholesterol You betcha.” - They claim, “25 to 30% of the brain's made out of cholesterol,” and pose, “How many people need brains? Nobody in politics.” - On arterial plaque, they state: “What does it turn out to be? 1.5% of the plaque is fat, and of that, point 5% is cholesterol.” - They conclude, “90% of it's calcium. So where's the problem? Calcium or cholesterol? Calcium. You bet.”

Here are eight reasons why this board-certified cardiologist does not prescribe statin drugs: 1. Statins lower CoQ10 levels, which is critical for mitochondrial function. 2. Statins inhibit the production of heme A, a vital component of the electron transport chain. 3. Statins inhibit dolachol, a molecule found in the substantia nigra in the brain; depletion can cause Parkinson's. 4. Statins lower cholesterol levels, which is critical to produce vitamin D, hormones, and for digestion. 5. Statins can cause liver damage. 6. Statins can cause muscle damage. 7. Statins can cause brain damage. 8. Statins do not address the cause of cardiovascular disease and may increase the chances of people over 65 dying (JAMA 2017). Even studies that show benefit reveal only a tiny risk reduction.

I will discuss eight reasons why I do not prescribe statin drugs, despite being a board-certified cardiologist. 1. Statins lower CoQ10 levels, essential for energy production. 2. They inhibit heme A production, crucial for the electron transport chain. 3. Statins deplete dolichol, linked to Parkinson’s and other brain disorders. 4. They lower cholesterol, which is vital for vitamin D, hormones, and digestion. 5. Statins can cause liver damage. 6. They may lead to muscle damage. 7. They can also harm brain function. 8. Statins do not address the root causes of cardiovascular disease and have been shown to increase mortality risk in individuals over 65. Even studies showing benefits indicate minimal risk reduction, leaving many at risk unnecessarily.

"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."

- 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.

Speaker 1 challenges the idea that lowering LDL with statins reduces cardiovascular risk, saying: "The only problem is you're looking at that so myopically... It's not that simple." He asserts, "In fact, there's no correlation between elevated LDL cholesterol on its own as an independent risk factor and cardiovascular disease. None." "Cholesterol does not cause atherosclerotic plaquing or narrowing of the arteries. Damage to the arterial wall does, the inflammatory cascade does." He frames cholesterol as "a construction material"—"the liver makes 85% of the cholesterol in your bloodstream"—used to build cell walls, membranes, hormones, and "to make vitamin d three, cholecalciferol." Pushing LDL low allegedly leads to consequences: "joints start aching" and "memory starts to go," with "Cognitive decline is one of the fastest accelerants of aging." He notes, "not one death claim" on a centenarian lacked elevated LDL at death. "High LDL... is a market for longevity" and "the standard of care was killing people."

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.

Eating a diet high in cholesterol is not linked to heart disease, contrary to common belief. Cholesterol is vital for the body, and the idea of good and bad cholesterol is a myth. Statin drugs lower cholesterol by causing liver inflammation, potentially leading to brain issues. The rise in Alzheimer's disease cases correlates with the increase in statin drug prescriptions. It is crucial to prioritize brain health by avoiding statin drugs.

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 discusses the misconception that a cholesterol level of 300 is normal and emphasizes the importance of giving the body the right conditions to heal itself. They highlight the dangers of altered fats found in vegetable oils and recommend using olive oil in dark bottles. The speaker mentions the Framingham Heart Study, which has not proven that cholesterol causes heart disease but has shown that people with high cholesterol levels are less likely to develop Alzheimer's. They explain the role of fats in protecting nerve cells and suggest basic remedies for preventing heart disease, such as getting sunshine for vitamin D and consuming plant fats. The speaker also discusses the ineffectiveness of aspirin and the benefits of water and cayenne pepper as blood thinners.

The Crestor package insert states the drug lowers cholesterol, though cholesterol may not be the cause of cardiovascular disease. Warnings include myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, and hepatic dysfunction. The insert also notes statins can increase hemoglobin A1c and fasting serum glucose levels, potentially leading to a diabetes diagnosis. The speaker claims statins can lead to type 2 diabetes, while the primary cause of cardiovascular disease is metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance and diabetes. Animal studies suggest statins may cause hepatocellular carcinoma and problems affecting fertility. The speaker claims about 30% of patients discontinue statins due to side effects, and statins may extend life by about two or three days.

The speaker argues that “Bad cholesterol” is a misnomer and claims it is “the biggest fraud.” They state they have spent countless hours researching cholesterol and that “None of it says anything about cholesterol being bad.” They assert that “The only bad thing about cholesterol is not having enough,” and claim that “One of the biggest defenses against stroke is cholesterol.” They further connect depression to serotonin levels, stating “Depression is directly related to how much serotonin is in the body,” and conclude that “Who controls the amount of serotonin that's manufactured? Cholesterol.”

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.

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.

Did you know that statin drugs have saved millions of lives? No. You probably didn't know that because it's not true. Statin drugs have not saved millions of lives. Statins have actually killed millions of people. Three reasons why: Number one, they don't work as well as they say they work. Number two, they have tremendous amount of side effects, including death. Number three, they lead to a false sense of security. Just take a statin drug, and you can eat whatever you want. Live however you want. It doesn't matter. You're safe and protected. We know statin drugs allegedly lower your risk of dying from two percent to one point eight five percent on an annual basis for most people. That means one point eight five percent of people die annually because they didn't change their lifestyle, the way they eat, the way they think.

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.

Speaker 0 argues that the American Heart Association used money to spend decades fabricating a huge pile of evidence to support the idea that cholesterol causes heart attacks, and that this pile of evidence is nonsense. He notes that some very smart scientists who have sifted through it have come to the same conclusion, that there is nothing here and no evidence. He adds that when you cut out vegetable oils and eat healthier foods, very likely your total cholesterol levels will go up, and your doctor will tell you to stop following this diet that’s improving your health and transforming your life. He warns it may scare you into taking a statin drug, which he calls one of the most dangerous drugs out there. He mentions that there is a whole chapter in Dark Calories about this so you can fortify your knowledge, and that you have to know more than your doctor because doctors are miseducated.

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.

Did you know that statins interfere with the production of coenzyme q 10? They weaken the immune system. They're linked to muscle and neurological problems, including Lou Gehrig's disease. They block the benefit of exercise. They're associated with nerve degeneration, pain, memory loss, confusion, depression, and a higher risk of ALS and Parkinson's? This is according to doctor David Williams and his research he did in 2014. And also, did you know there's no connection between high cholesterol levels and heart disease? A 2018 review published an expert review of clinical pharmacology said there's, quote, no association between LDL cholesterol and heart disease. The Minnesota coronary experiment from 1968 to 1973 revealed that lowering cholesterol did not reduce heart attack deaths. A JAMA study in 2014 says, quote, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is essential for protecting brain function. If you're on a statin, I'm not a medical doctor, but talk to him or her about this because this is critical information that could save your life.
