I was taking 2 prescriptions — a blood pressure medication and something for bladder problems. On those 2 medication I was fine and suffered no side affects at all.
My Doctor put me on a Statin.
About 10 days later, I almost died from LOW blood pressure. I quit taking anything and my Dr. had me drink tons of water and my blood pressure came back to normal in 2 days.
I will go to my grave knowing that the statins in that 3 prescription cocktail almost killed me from low blood pressure.
Meanwhile, they are nearly useless to prevent heart attacks in people who do not already have serious heart disease. They MIGHT make sense for people with heart surgery and with serious heart disease, but are a generally useless boondoggle for healthy people with no signs of heart disease.
What a scam. Just like “don’t eat fat or cholesterol.
Your liver converts between fat and cholesterol when there is an excess of either. Eating cholesterol doesn’t directly raise your blood cholesterol, and eating fat doesn’t directly cause body fat. There is a very complicated process going on and the American Medical Association acts like kindergarteners with their simplistic thinking.
Your brain is 1/3 cholesterol. You NEED cholesterol in your diet. When you starve yourself of cholesterol, your kidneys convert fat to cholesterol, most of it the Bad LDL cholesterol.
The AMA is killing us. Sometimes I think it is intentional.
It’s all about lowering Insulin Resistance, that is the root cause of many diseases, treat the IR, and it’s amazing how many issues will be alleviated.
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.
