Every patient cured is a customer lost

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?

Healthy patients are not profitable.

Am I the only one tired of being lied to?

My great-grandfather had bacon and eggs every morning. He ate a lot of red meat. My great-grandmother used lard to fry *everything*. He didn't take any statins and lived to be 96 years old with his mind intact.

My husband was on kidney dialysis and therefore on a lot of necessary medication. The renal doctor wanted him to try out a new medication for cholesterol. I queried this and the Doctor assured me he had a problem. I had someone check his levels and they were normal. I phoned the Doctor and informed him of this, he slammed the phone down on me. I later discovered that the hospital was getting a large fee for every patient who was naive enough to fall for this.

About 15 years ago my blood results showed high LDL and I checked out three books from the library on the subject and read everything else I could find. I was already practicing a good diet and exercise. I decided the whole thing was rubbish. I'm nearly 58 now, feel great with no health problems. So glad I skipped the side effects from Staton drugs. Maybe I'll drop dead tomorrow, but something will get us all eventually. Trust in Jesus for salvation.

My Grandfather said: “We never needed the doctor, cause there wasn't one around to tell us we did.”

Now, let's also get rid of the industrial processed seed oils from our diet

My friend has always said “If you want to stay healthy, stop going to the doctor” I am leaning towards his advice these days😂😂😂

Philip - ever sceptical 66 year old retired Aussie orthopaedic surgeon here. GREAT presentation. I’ve been following the cholesterol and statin bulls$&t for years. Spot on. Looking forward to your next video. Good stuff 👍

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.

this needs to be shouted out to the roof tops. As a RN during 80s and 90s I saw the push for getting everyone on drugs and how they kept changing the numbers to get more on drugs.

I can’t help but think that all this cholesterol reduction is feeding the increasing levels of dementia.

I have suspected that statin use could be a culprit in the dramatic rise of dementia over the past several decades......

Thank you for this video. I had the misfortune to have to a so called 'health check' by my GPs practice nurse after I had some bloods taken. The very first thing she said was about cholesterol. When I said that I disagreed with her she went ballistic and said that she had a degree in nursing and that she knew better. I immediately left the room. Needless to say I will not be taking advantage of this service again.

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!

At age 34 l was diagnosed to have high levels of bad cholesterol, prescribed statins. Decided not to take them .At age 77 I still have high levels of bad cholesterol and enjoy overall excellent health

I'm experimenting on myself. For years I accepted everything medicine has said, but now, I am trying to actually improve my health on my own. Still having trouble with exercise. It still hurts, but I am seeing some slight improvement. I've always had pain in my legs and the doctors always just shrugged when I told them how much pain I was in.. they didn't seem to even care - they just wanted me to get a mammogram, a blood test and take pills. I'm on a low carbohydrate diet, high fat, meat, no wheat and alcohol, some fruit, vegetables.... very typical. 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. I'm still having stress problems, no doubt, but I was profoundly in love with my husband, and even 4 years afterwards, I am grieving. Medicine by the numbers isn't fixing anything. I want to garden again. Live a meaningful life until my last breath.

My 2 biggest problems over the years was way too much sugar and extreme levels of anxiety. Quit the sugar as much as possible and have concentrated on not giving a damn on the craziness going on around the world. So much of my physical problems have disappeared, or lessened greatly. Inflammation was killing me.

5 years high fat carnivore. Best decision of my life.

Many years ago I was told by my doctor that my cholesterol was a little high and would increase my risk of heart/stroke problems. I asked what were the chances of me dying in the next twelve months and he agreed it was very unlikely. I then pointed out that taking statins would therefore only change it from very unlikely to very very unlikely. Refused them and have survived a further ten years and am now healthier than I was then!

There’s too much money at stake to believe pro-statin research! Even my gout went away after going back to a high saturated fat diet against medical advice. Great video!

If you want to find the reason for anything... just follow the money! Truth, reason, and fact will never be allowed to stand in the way of making money.

My anatomy professor in 1985 was saying the same thing: is not just as simple as the cholesterol number. He saw plenty of cases of people with "normal" cholesterol and heart attacks, and "high" cholesterol but healthy, just like these studies reported! WAKE UP, LEARN REAL SCIENCE, AND FOLLOW THE $$$!

I can't wait until the covid vaccine research gets released in 70 years😢

Hi from South Africa, many yeara ago I was much younger my doctor ran tests and told me I had high cholesterol, what he said next shocked me... he said you're too young for statins as statins will kill your liver before the cholesterol kills YOU 😮 I really appreciated his candour and never took them as chronic medicine.

After switching from a vegan diet to keto, my cholesterol spiked, and my doctor prescribed statins. 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. I referred him to the research I had been reading and had a follow-up appointment in 3 months. My cholesterol levels were still high, but he changed his mind about me finding another doctor and said it was my call. He still doesn't like my cholesterol levels, but after I told him I refuse to take any meds, and do not want to talk about it again, he relented.

My unbelievably, strong, active, 86 year old mother called me and said she felt terrible. When I went over to check on her she said her doctor gave her Zocor. I told her to stop taking it. She asked me if she could do that. I told her that the doctor works for you, not the other way around. She had only taken the statin for 6 days and it took two weeks for her to feel good again. She lived by herself in great health until she died at 94. Her cholesterol? 313 was standard. They would have killed her with that crap. Instead she was active and happy until the end. Do NOT worship this quack doctors that would have you take statins or the vaccine. If they suggest you take either one, run for your life.

My GP was left in despair after I refused taking interventions to reduce my cholesterol. I asked her what we have cholesterol for, what do statins do and in conclusion what would reducing my cholesterol level would do? Think about it!. I was then asked where I got my information from, which I replied ....medical books. There was no answer to that.

All of these studies are still ignored by those pushing the cholesterol hypothesis. Money talks :(

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.

My mother in law was 92 when she passed she ate red meat used lard to cook and make pastry and smoked drank brandy

I've been telling my doctor for years that my brain needs cholesterol, therefore refusing to take a statin

I took these Statins in 2017 and was paralyzed in my legs with extreme pain, couldn't even get in a car. I stopped them and within a couple weeks, I could walk again.

Preach it Bro! 69 years old with Lipids off the charts and a mild TIA 5 years ago. I do not care where my blood markers are these days. I care about my diet & lifestyle. Three years of Ketovore + OMAD & walking + weights and No Statins.

Absolute truth. Goes against the medical model which is obsessed with continuity drugs. The older we get, the more cholesterol is crucial to our well being

Very interesting. My LDL is about 190 and my HDL is 60 with my triglycerides being about 75. My Primary care provider has never put me on medication. She offered it to me if I wanted it, but I refused. My parents both had elevated levels but lived to be in their 90's, neither ever had any heart conditions.

My daughter moved to Australia almost a year ago. She is now 41 and a type 1 diabetic. Her drs there took her off 6 or more medications that Drs here in US put her on. They said they don't understand why the sea here put us on so many meds. My daughter feels and looks amazing now. We need to do better in the US.

Forget all the "scores" of this and that. Exercise daily, eat good food, not too much (you know what that is), don't smoke or drink. Relax. And live your life.

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.

I knew about the myth in the 90s. I told my doc I need my cholesterol for my libido among other health concerns.

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.

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.

@ 0:05 Good oils vs bad oils. BAD (any oil that's been overpriccessed, overheated), & margarine (faux butter). GOOD (oils that are first cold pressed).

If the pharma industry actually CURED , THEY would be out of business and no more million dollar bonuses

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

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.

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.

Outstanding video. Clear, concise and evidence based. Subbed. I’ve been on keto for two years and and my recent blood tests sent my GP into panic mode over LDL levels. This led to me being invited to an appointment to discuss taking statins. I was never going to take them, but what was most amusing was being spoken to about cholesterol and general health by a woman who was twice the size she should be. Irony really doesn’t cover it.

Turns out that much of what doctors have been telling us to do is in fact bad for our health, but great for the doctors standard of living (trips, cars, flash homes).

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??

I wouldn't want to be Ancel Keys upon his final judgement. How many lives have been ruined and lost from his machinations?

Thank you for your efforts. I recommend adding your medical bio to your YT description. An MD that can think is a rare thing indeed. God bless you.

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.

Also of note, vegetable oil by itself is extremely unhealthy & should not be eaten by humans but rather only used as a machine lubricant. I'm a big believer in (and consumer of) saturated fats, but I'd like to see if this study could be done with something other than vegetable or seed oils.

New big fan! Should have seen look on face of Cardiologist, when I told him where to stick the Statins. Tiny Back-story. this was the 6 months checkup after heart attack @ 58, and 6 months of Dr. Berry advice. AND he just told me I was the biggest Turn-Around he has ever seen in 35 years. He was not interested in why. Not even a little...

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.

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.

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.

Why can't such scientists who lie in their research and puts people's life at risk be arrested or made unaccountable.

And don't believe for one minute that facts will change the doctors mind.

Thumbs up from a medical doctor with 52 years of experience

I have also been told my cholesterol is high. I will not be taking statins. I’m an OR nurse sometimes working in Cardiac. One day during a long case I had a look back at the previous twelve coronary bypasses we performed - yes, they all had low cholesterol numbers on their pre-op blood tests.

My mother had a heart attack @52. Her cholesterol was fine, but her triglycerides were a bit high. She didn’t smoke. She ate healthy for the most part. My father ate bacon and eggs daily, plus other fat laden foods. He also smoked for about 30 years. No heart attacks and lived to 100.

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.

Post-covid ,the medical industry is less interested in helping people become well or stay well and are more focused on more billable hours. It is truly a travesty. I miss the old time family doctors, the ones that really wanted to make a difference, the ones that made house calls, the ones that listened to you and saw you as a human being and not a number and billable number.

Aren't the levels recommended influenced by the pharmaceutical industry?

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.

In Canada the Federal Government cares so much about peoples health it ads Palm Oil to Dairy feed. Compare grass fed butter to corn and palm oil fed butter, the grass fed out of the fridge is nearly as soft as the palm oil fed butter sitting on the table. In a warm summertime room, the grass fed melts into a puddle while the palm oil butter remains a solid block. Wounder why your arteries are clogged?

Could you please do a video about Familial hypercholesterolemia, thank you.

Inflammation is probably the main cause of plaque , not cholesterol per se

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.

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?

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.

Came by chance on your video on KZfaq 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.

Bottom line is we all die no matter what, health is just the slowest way.

Thank you so much for pulling all this together. Absolute gold!

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.

Extremely well done video! Nice clear voice, easy to understand and very good graphs showing everything. Congrats! Thanks!

My relatives all had hyper lip. And they all lived to 83-100

Thank you, Dr. Bosanquet. Glad this was in my YT feed. My cardiologist took me off statins. He said it destroys leg muscles and it was terrible for someone with auto immune issues like me. In my case, the pain was all over my body and rendered me nearly totally disabled.

My husband and I are on the carnivore diet (he is ketovore) Our cholesterol numbers are off the charts. However, per a John’s Hopkins study and others on remnant cholesterol, (total cholesterol minus LDL and HDL) we are in the healthy range. My MD had no idea what remnant cholesterol was. We have an epidemic of Alzheimer’s and Dementia due to lack of fat which our brains need. We have an epidemic of obesity due to the total non food diet that people in America eat. Diabetes and or insulin resistance are the culprit of most statin drug takers. I literally had a cardiologist tell me that his job is to ‘keep people alive’. He scoffed when I asked about the quality of the life he’s providing to them. Enough said.

Let's look at homocysteine instead of cholesterol. Dr Kilmer McCully

Finally - some sensible truths being spoken and how lovely that these hidden studies have seen the light and been discussed openly - May many more stolen knowledge be released, in these days when more people may & can listen . In my nutrition study days, I was taught that cholesterol, also, plugged weak and leaky arteries. So rather than reducing cholesterol it would be better to feed the artery tissue nutritionally, or herbal, so it can heal. For great health I always start with the basics:- clean air, remember to breath deep; pure water, remember to hydrate; take time to pause and enjoy appreciating what and who’s around me, remember to relax & de-stress | I subscribed on this, the first video I saw and will share with my kids - so they know it’s not just me rambling - can’t thank you enough for your time of putting together something so many need to hear. 🙏🏻❤🇬🇧

The LDL and HDL are markers. HDL cholesterol is made for muscle and other important organs. LDL cholesterol is made for fat cells and related organs. So if you have high LDL and low HDL levels, you are probably a sedentary obese person, which happens to be unhealthy. If you try to change the levels instead of changing your body composition, you will just get more unhealthy, in different ways.

A man after my own heart! Thank you, I’ve known this for years but you have explained it well!

Excellent presentation!

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.

My father in law, now passed, was on a statin for decades and he, in his last years did not know where he was most of the time. When I was in my 40’s a cardiologist wanted me on a statin and I couldn’t have run away faster. Statins are one of the drugs good for the stock price but deadly for the human.

So happy to find your Channel.. I prefer to Think, read, learn and research rather than just Be told. Then make informed decisions! 🎉 Concerned that GP’s are Not Doing self study. And Research! 🎉 Thank you 😊

I gave up statins about 3 months ago, most of my aches and pains went away, i don't wake up sore now, also cutting carbs and my weight has dropped, eating more meat with the fat on, and my thoughts and maths skills have improved, I'm 54

I'm subscribed 🙂- great video, thanks. Wish we had GPs like you in NZ. I am a year out from a heart attack, - changed to keto, dropped 15 kgs, feeling fit - keeping actvie. I did have a small dense ldls showing, hopefully over time I can drive them away with my changes, but shortage of GPs here to support one on such a journey.

Excellent Video! Solid, factual, concise presentation. One of the best that I have ever seen.

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 .

Nice presentation, which sums up nicely how we've been mislead. Look forward to more of your concise Podcasts to refer to, to optimise my health. Thanks.

My brother and my mum were both on statins. My brother died of a heart attack and my mother died from heart failure. I have high cholesterol and have for many many years. I have refused statins. I know if I improve my liver health my cholesterol levels will go down accordingly. The body produces the cholesterol it needs to function. Interfering with that process using statins is what causes issues.

EXCELLENT report! Your information is spot on!

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.
