Your post has been SAVED to its own Excel File and I will read it carefully and absorb without having to worry about losing it in the mess of posts.
My first read, it sounds GREAT.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, that's why they always circulate bad nutritional/health data, etc., just to get people in the "shop". Then they can drain 'em dry then let 'em die. Very clever business model for maximum profits actually. There isn't any money in a healthy population.
“I think this is an awfully immoral job of ours. I do, really. Think how we spoil the digestions of the public.”
“Ah, yes—but think how earnestly we strive to put them right again. We undermine 'em with one hand and build 'em up with the other. The vitamins we destroy in the canning, we restore in Revito, the roughage we remove from Peabody's Piper Parritch we make up into a package and market as Bunbury's Breakfast Bran; the stomachs we ruin with Pompayne, we re-line with Peplets to aid digestion. And by forcing the damn-fool public to pay twice over—once to have its food emasculated and once to have the vitality put back again, we keep the wheels of commerce turning and give employment to thousands—including you and me.”
The model has merely been extended from the grocery store to the doctor's office.
There is a new drug named Repatha that doesn’t cause the muscle pains and brings the cholesterol levels way down although it’s very expensive. ****************************
It’s not how much cholesterol is in your system, it’s what is causing it to stick to your arteries = Inflammation caused by sugar and carbs
That piece reminds of the low salt intake they push all the time. They know full well that it is salt that makes the hydrochloric acid in your stomach in order to digest and extract the vital nutrients that you need. Yet they propagandize it as if it were a poison. No accident.
I remember that story but it is absolutely awful. Thank Gd you’re ok.
My mom takes a statin but she has Alzheimers so I am not really concerned. That should get her first. But you are too young! So glad you’re ok.
Good job with your fasting! Bravo! Stay healthy. You’ve got a lot of fun life ahead.
As few prescription drugs as possible for me. I went on the Wheat Belly diet and three months later my LDL cholesterol had DROPPED 40 pts. And 20 pounds dropped off, so I’m at my ideal wait. I know someone who lost 150 pounds on this diet quickly.
I eat steak a couple of times a week and use all the butter I want. No bread, no wheat cereal, NO WHEAT.
Read the book, WHEAT BELLY by Wm Davis, MD.
Dude, start taking CoQ10.
No “may” about it.
I only do 12-13 hrs but I am not trying to lose weight, just stay healthy. I do not like fasting longer than to noon the next day, from 11 or so the night before. If I skip eating after dinner, I lose a pound or 2. Then I am forced to eat more the next day, lol.
It is ok to eat more protein, from animal sources, and not to worry about getting more fat in. Fat is a natural part of healthy animal proteins.
A man can changed what he is. It may take a while.
They made me feel like I had ground glass flowing through my veins.
I have diabetic neorapathy issues though.
In my opinion it made it worse.
You will eventually die if you keep taking statins.
/s
It is suggested that statin drugs may cause painful peripheral neuropathy of the feet.
You’re a sweetheart you know that? :)
And tough and smart.
Great combination.
Ciao
I hear all the concern and see all the confessionals here, but it makes me feel bad that I have been taking Lovastatin for over 20 years now, as just one of the many drugs in my drug regimine I take for the treatment of my Multiple Sclerosis. It took several years of trial and error to find the right combination of drugs that worked for me. My cholesterol has been down perfect for years now and I’m in great health otherwise but you guys make me feel like I’ve done the wrong thing for all these year. That something bad is going to happen to me.
“People need to read the statistics. For example, if your risk of a heart attack is 3% per year, statins may reduce it to 2% per year. Thus your “risk” dropped 33%.”
yep. drug companies and many docs just love to quote those relative risk reduction numbers like 33% because they sound so impressive, but absolute risk reduction of 1% aren’t used because they don’t sound all that great ...
the problem is that all of the repatha studies were done on subjects already taking the maximum possible stains doses ... no studies have been done of repatha as a mono-therapy... my guess is that’s because repatha itself is useless ... it’s the same situation as with zetia, except they finally studied zetia as a mono-therapy and PROVED it was useless ...
