  • Hilarious. Just about nails the medical obsession with cholesterol...and willingness to ignore any evidence to the contrary.

  • @fledertit Hey, thanks! I've got three on youtube and more to come. You can also see me on facebook: Pure Wellness Centers, and my books on Amazon. Best of health. tom ballard, ND

  • Wait, I'm supposed to adhere to a cartoon character's advice and not my doctor's? Can you point me to some research that supports these statements? My doc had been after me for 2 or 3 years to take statins which I finally agreed to 60 days ago...

  • @gsantoliquido I won't take you 2 minutes to find the research on the internet that your doctor should know. See recent articles by Michael Pollan and the book Overdosed America. Search "Statins and diabetes". My video is from the research. I am a doctor, if that helps, but better to read. And when you're told about statin's lowering cholesterol, ask "That's fine, but will they prolong my life?" What minimal benefit statins may provide are offset by their negatives.

  • Send me a postcard and stay healthy!

  • outstanding.

  • @spearthrowin : Thanks!

  • Sad to say, it's unlikely your doctor has read anything other than what the drug companies produce.

  • Do doctors actually think or do they just spout drug company information?

  • @gsantoliquido for the 3 years you resisted I am interested to know what alternative effort you made to correct this.Research on either side can be flawed but doing research and taking action helps. One size does not fit all Data is great, many Drs are paid by the drug company to promote their drug.The side effects of the statins would make your goal to not make taking this long term

  • This is great! I'm going to Switzerland!

  • @tomballardnd Excellent, yes I believe you. They want us confused so they profit!.

  • Doctors are So Robotic
