Truth About High Cholesterol - Austin Wellness Institute

[hadsell1962]

MY ENDOCRINE SYSTEM ALMOST SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF LOW INTAKE OF SATURATED FATS. I BECAME VERY SICK AND STARTED LOSING BRAIN FUNCTION. LOWERING CHOLESTEROL HAS NEVER BEEN SHOWN TO LOWER ONES RISK OF HEART DISEASE. THIS IS A PROVEN FACT. STATINS STABILIZE PLAQUE IN THE ARTERY, IT DOES NOT LOWER IT.

[gyrate4]

You mention that the Inuits as an example well-being on an all meat diet, but that’s a myth. Their average life expectancy, minus infant mortality, is 42 years. They are riddled with arthritis and other degenerative and chronic conditions. They have a higher cancer rate than the Canadian population. 

[hupfernum]

@gyrate4. You know, I wonder if that's because their historical diet was more than 90% animal products; they may not have moved far away from their historical diet. In our modern society too, those with the highest percent meat diet suffer with the highest incedents of bone and cartillage degeneration and chronic inflamatory ailments. And today's food is combined with so many chemicals and genetic modifications, not to mention the hazardous metals we cook with and in the environment.

[gyrate4]

@hupfernum Although many continue to stress that cholesterol-heavy diets are "healthy," more than 80% of the people that go on the Dean Ornish program, which is mostly plant-based, reverse heart disease. That pretty much negates the idea that heart disease is “pre-destined,” and demonstrates that it’s dietary.

[mrclick0024]

very good video,very informative....you can take Gugul,Turmeric,garlic,red yeast rice,apple cider vinegar all these natural remedies are very effective without side effect........

[TheRosa63]

I wouldn't be surprised if they knew this stuff all along but went ahead to make statins because of profit and because they want to lower the life expectancy of people and to make money off new drugs to treat statin side affects. after all they complain there are too many people on social security and won't be enough for those growing up behind them. who knows what motivates evil people.

[zoopu]

This guy doesnt know wtf he is talking about. Red yeast rice works BECAUSE it has a STATIN in it (lovastatin). This guy makes a lot of baseless claims. His comments about using red yeast rice instead of a statin are just the tip of the iceberg. Take medical advise from REAL medical doctors, not youtube kooks.

[dinotx69]

@zoopu OTC supplements, such as Red Yeast Rice, have little or no Lovastatin in their ingredients. The FDA does not approve authorized drugs in vitamin supplements, especially statins. It will be against FDA policy or violation for any supplement supplier to list lovastatin in their ingredient. I have yet found any Red Yeast Rice supplements with lovastatin in the label. No supplier cannot claim this product as natural.

[dizzysfingers]

glad i came across video. thank you for this info. I was prescribed by my doctor to take crestor due to high bad cholesterol.

Was told about the dangers of the possibility of getting diabetes and stroke if I didn't take drastic action. I took the doctors advise but 2 weeks later , I was concerned about the bad side effects. It made me search for more information.

I found there are risks of liver and kidney failure associated with this "medication". My doctor didn't tell me that. :O

[Enedeliardz]

im 20 and i have high cholesterol and it runs up to 441 im in good shape im a healthy person and if its to high its heritage from my dad... do you still recommend me to take zetia? they gave me this cause lipitor didnt work..

[HandyBendyGandhi]

@Enedeliardz A few years ago I had my cholesterol level measured at a high 6.2 so I went on an almost total vegan low fat diet for 8 months before having it measured again. It had increased to 6.5!

There is a strong genetic component to the levels of cholesterol production in the body which varies between individuals . Seemingly my body was unhappy with the reduction in my dietary cholesterol & compensated by producing more. Refined carbohydrates are the real killers. Don't take their drugs.

[jannevellamo]

What you MUST eat is always what makes the most profit. What you NEED to eat is always whatever best suits your personal needs. And saliva is really good for you. Do salivate more.

[Lleanlleawrg]

Artillery problems? xD

[kooodeal]

Our parents doctors ,just didn't have the right info. So they died because it was the edge of medical dark ages.We will learn new things as they do more studies..

[bufferin]

Thank you so much, Dr. Bellonzi!

[randybrack]

What do you thank of the oral chellators that remove the heavy metals and clear up the plaque in the artery walls? Please comment on this subject. P.S. I hate the staten drugs that I have been taking.

[kooodeal]

They help clear the calcium that is in the plaque,letting the niacin burn the rest of the crap out.But you need Mag. supplements with Chelation.

[kooodeal]

And most important ,you need to walk or run every other day to stay healthy..L-Arginine to help you get your blood pressure down quick before the walk..

[jamisont1]

all my family on father's side have abnormal cholesterol levels (300~390) and they are well over 60+. (grand father and uncle lived over 80).

all of them had thick hair, lots of hair, finger nails grow very fast, muscular for their age. I think high cholesterol is bad when you have also high blood pressure.

[HandyBendyGandhi]

@jamisont1 I have genetically high cholesterol levels too. I'm 52 now but people generally estimate my age at around 36-42. My grandmother lived to be 100.

[Okeaola]

Your idiots! Cholesterol is NOT the cause of Myocardial Infarction. When did you see cholesterol plug into veins? Statins work by being an anti-inflammatory agent, that's how they can reduce risk heart disease still they're practically useless and talk about serious side effects! Oxidative damage is often the cause of atherosclerosis, never cholesterol. LDL & HDL are not "bad" and "good" cholesterol, they're lipoproteins. Cholesterol is Cholesterol, not Good & Bad.

[litebug12345]

Sterolyn has brought my triglycerides down to 145 mg/dl and my LDL down to 95 mg/dl! My doctor calls me "the freak of nature," haha. I plan to keep taking this forever. And hey, I'm enjoying my free subscription to Fitness magazine, it's part of an overall lifestyle change.

[clayfaidark]

Thank you for this information. i needed this info

[DiamondPaul2000]

I like this guy. Most people don't know that cholesterol is a necessity and your body will make it if you don't eat enough. The problem is not cholesterol but the blood chemistry that makes it turn solid. It is normally liquid. Eggs have more lecithin then cholesterol which helps liquefy fat. Eggs are great food but not eggs from sick chickens that live in a cage and fed garbage. Now you see more and more free range chicken. WalMart has free range organic eggs that are great.

[fatfist]

Doctors are NOW pushing statins on CHILDREN!!!!! People have become brainwashed idiots believing all this shit from the money-making medical community.

[fatfist]

The statin companies have started sending pamphlets to doctors suggesting to prescribe statins to obese children. There is an age limit of course, but still, cholesterol is not issue; bad eating habits is the issue.

[800665]

All the doctors are pushing statins on the over 60s. don't take them -take Benecol.

[pam0077]

If you find that you absolutely must improve your LDL/HDL/triglyceride ratio, get a bottle of SloNiacin (500mg/100 tab nicotinic acid) for about $12 at Walmart before deciding to use statins.

Take 500mg to 1.5g of the nicotinic acid daily. Tell your physician if you take more than 500mg.

Also, take 2000-5000IU Vitamin D3 gel-caps daily (not the hard tablet.) Dose depends on whether you use fish oil. Most everyone is deficient in D3. It will help stop coronary plaque growth in its tracks.

[pam0077]

Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is the real enemy. MORE VIT C -> MORE CO-Q10 -> LOWER Lp(a) MORE STATINS -> LESS CO-Q10 -> HIGHER Lp(a) Daily protocol to cure CVD: 1. 3-6g Vitamin C (for CA colligen repair) 2. 3g L-lysine (binds Lp(a)) 3. 2000mg Proline (lowers elevated Lp(a)) 4. Eliminate all trans/hydrogenated fats and heat processed veg oils 5. 14 grams (tbsp) fish oil 6. Eliminate all sugar & processed carbs 7. Exercise 30min/day 8. Eat fish, free range meats, vegetables & fruits

[Veetina]

Statistics show that People dont die of heart attacks anymore because of lipitor and beta blockers,, so yes drugs are necessary , who takes the risk and stop them

[GaterEby]

When I was put on Lipitor I had severe problems! Muscle weakness and pain, far worse than my "high chol" number (220ish) Turns out I am FINE with no statin drugs... years later my #'s go up and down and I am fine. I had a ultrasound of my arteries and they are CLEAN even with high chol #'s! Its not the #'s it is IF you have plaque build up in the veins!

[gouvyrock]

i don't think that high cholesterol is good for my health!!!!!!

[SFJane]

grats! You think exactly the way Big Pharma wants you to think, now step up and volunteer to get a corporate tattoo to show your support,faith and trust in the all knowing and compassionate Pharma Industry. They are always truthful with studies and they never conceal research that shows their stuff is ineffective or dangerous. Their drugs never have intolerable side effects and Big Pharma is never wrong! /sarcasmoff

[Veetina]

Me too Iam scared of high cholesterol ! it is not a joke to stop medication!

[Meowmie707]

My previous post was a response to one on page 3 or 4 where someone doctor told them if they didn't take it, it would ruin their liver... sorry it ended up here...

[twistedcharlie]

this channel blows my mind! not in a bad way....i'm just amazed; and overwhelmed with information at the same time; jeez

[tenfeathers]

Wow, I take care of my mother who had a stroke a couple years ago. She takes zetia, Lipitor, Atenenol. I wrote down the coenzyme Q10. So I'm going to look into that. How would I talk to my moms doctor on maybe helping get off some of these drugs and if its the right thing?

[psychetruth]

If she is willing, take her to clinical nutritionist.

[Arin322]

much appreciated!!

[c16467]

Thanks for the education. I have not had this as a "problem" but now I understand why you hear so much about it as it is an obvious money-maker for the drug companies. Self-knowledge is always the best beginning of Wisdom.

[jgelhaar]

Man I totally agree!!!

It's like when weightlifters say you have to eat protein to build protein (muscles).. What the H3LL do cows do? they're full of muscle and don't 'eat' protein.

Cholesterol is created by the liver. I think you should be a lot more firm AGAINST most drugs. They are all a blanket on an underlying cause. Fix the cause and the symptom(s) that the drug addresses will go away.

High cholesterol is ELIMINATED through fasting. YOU DON'T NEED DRUGS!!!

Great vid, Mike.

[BiggDaveyD]

Cows have a rumen.

[tylercj]

wow this guy is awesome!!!

thanks doc!!

[Braves300]

i take fish oils.

[realnoid]

I remember 2 yrs ago a "best selling" MD

wanted EVERYONE on statins as a preventative.

My cholesterol is actually too low along with

my blood pressure and all the doctors were

congratulating me. Even I knew they were

all freaking wrong.

[veganangel68]

low cholesterol has only been shown to dangerous in people who are very sick from cancer or who are starving/anorexic. low cholesterol from eating a low fat plant based diet and regular exercise is only ever a good thing. please stick to the facts.

[smokybrick]

Good video. I have had very high triglycerides and cholesterol at times. Diet and moderate exercise has brought me right into the target levels. Maybe some people do need the meds. I myself need to stick to healthy eating and exercise. It is hard to stick to, but for me I am lucky that I can control diabetes, triglyceride's and cholesterol by living healthy. When I am dieting, my doctors cant hardly believe what they see. It can work!

[jgelhaar]

Thanks for the honesty! You are 100% right! You should look into the "Lemonade Fast". Written in the 70's the fast (Stanley Burroughs, I think) - It can reverse so many of our current ailments... Not sure about the diabetes, but I know some individuals have proven that it can be cured... Your body wants to operate healthy..  It just needs to be given a chance...

[wildchildplasma]

A had a huch your next topic would be cholesterol.

I don't eat meat accept for bugs and maybe bone marrow later.

Not a problem for me.

[jasdecoy]

Where do you buy your bugs? I'm curious to try some.

[quarterduce]

Dude this doesn't help. You know my partner had cholesterol over 1200 triglycerides over 900. How does this happen when he exerices 5 days a week. Eats same diet I do (mine is under 150)?

[jgelhaar]

No two people are the same... Genetics, etc... Look into a fast for your friend. It will cure his high cholesterol. Stanley Burroughs, "The Master Cleanse" - of course consult your doctor, etc., but I can tell you they won't know a thing about it. do some research on the Internet about fasting and read that book... It will convince you of the benefits. If you don't believe it, one can continue taking drugs that don't work, except to benefit shareholder value.

[quarterduce]

Actually the drug he is taking has worked very well. The concern was not heart problems but inflamed pancreas, which is a very bad thing. Yes I do seriously doubt that not eating for a time is going to fix that kind of problem.

[jgelhaar]

Drugs mainly subdue symptoms of underlying problems.. They don't 'fix' anything. That was my main point.

Just because a perceived benefit is derived by ingesting a particular drug does not make it okay to consume.

[jgelhaar]

At one time, all doctors were taught that drugs, at their essence, are poison. The 'key', so they were taught, was to administer that poison for benefit while still understanding it's root is poison.

[jgelhaar]

This country needs to wake up to the insane over prescribing that is going on.  If one has a thorn in their toe, the best thing to do is remove the thorn so the toe can heal. In this country, instead, fancy wheelchair salesmen tell the physician that a wheelchair will relieve the pain to make the patient relieved. This is a bad example, I know, but in this country, it's even worse because the physicians are falling for it.

[quarterduce]

I have heard magnesium is a natural statin.

[Seabrook78in]

Wow. With the guilt and my own potential for denial I almost can't believe I watched the whole clip.

[CoolGuy64]

Cholesterol does NOT contribute in ANY way to heart disease. Cholesterol will only attach itself to the artery if the artery is damaged.

There are 3 ways to damaged arteries which will lead to heart disease and heart attacks:

Homogenized Dairy Products

Hydrogenated Oils

Chlorine in the Water

[quarterduce]

chlorine in the water?

[phatcrayonz]

like he said...chlorine in the water.

[Braves300]

Fluoride to

[CoolGuy64]

Oh yeah! Look up "Dr. Matthew bad cholesterol."

He explains the truth about cholesterol and he talks about how chlorine damages the artery. This is why I use shower filters and a reverse osmosis filter for when I cook.

[greatvideo2]

chlorine scars the arterie walls.

[Oddball16]

Great response greatvideo2! Get a shower and bath faucet filter to take out the chlorine, it DOES scar artery walls.

[blackberryjuice1]

what do you think of plant sterols?

[Fly4mebutterfly]

Please see "12" of Michalkow before you cut your new movie.

[EmCSpiteri]

Re Cholesterol I am being given treatment for that, my doctor said that I don't take medication my liver might fail.

[Meowmie707]

That is a NEW one! Your liver might fail? I would have laughed in his face! Statin Drugs can DAMAGE your liver! What a dumb doctor...

The usual line is "If you don't take this drug you will have a heart aatck and DIE!"
