So encouraginf to hear intelligent people explain simple things blown out of proportion by greedy medical and big pharma. Eating REAL food and exercising is a great way not to worry about any any of this

Drug companies are run by homicidal criminals.

Thank you for this. I was prescribed statins following a TIA and blood test showing high cholesterol. I was prescribed 40mg Simvastatin, I'd never even heard of statins. After all I have read about statins on the Inter, I have thrown the prescription in the bin. Of course I have changed my diet and am doing more exercise, none of this was mentioned by the dr who gave me these statins, which she told me I would have to take for the rest of my life. No thanks!

wow- I work on a ward with a lot of old people and almost every night the docs are ordering drugs ... that end with ...STATIN (hyperlipidemic medications)

But its not as easy to argue with the doctors and it's of no use telling old people to exercise and eat healthy. But thank you for the video, lot of info to process.

Thank you for this video Dr.:)

I rarely see my Dr. but every time he does see me, he wants to put me on a statin.

Yes, I do have high cholesterol but told him years ago that I didn't want to take any and he asks me anyway....even before we get into why I'm in his office to begin with.

I've had two friends tell me about pain in their legs when they were on statins, so they eventually stopped taking it/them.

So if following a high fat low carb diet for the past year resulted in a noticeable increase in my cholesterol, does it mean I'm probably more of a carb type in the metabolic / nutritional typing system?

I was just searching your videos about cholesterol the other day before you posted this. So cool! We must be on the same wavelength.

I love this man.
