STATIN DRUGS...If People Read The Package Insert, No One In Their Right Mind Would Take Them. The Side Effects Are Endless & Statins Only Extend Your Life 3 Days. Statins Cause 46% Increase In 'New Onset Type 2 Diabetes.' Lowering LDL Below <70 mg/dL Causes 2.5X More Strokes. Statins Are One of The Most Dangerous Drugs In Today's Modern World. 💊Statins cause CoQ10 deficiency, resulting in muscle pain & Mitochondrial Dysfunction. 💊Statins inhibit Heme A, a vital component of the electron transport chain for energy. 💊Statins stop Dolichol, a crucial molecule in protein glycosylation in the brain, deficiency leads to Parkinson's & other brain disorders. 💊Statins cause liver & pancreas damage, leading to insulin resistance & type 2 diabetes. 💊Cholesterol should not be lowered, it's critical for Vitamin D & all hormones, digestion, every cell should be saturated with healthy cholesterol. Chronic & Deadly Conditions Caused By Statins: Muscle Pain Muscle Tearing Weakness Neuropathy Heart Failure Dizziness/Vertigo Cognitive Impairment Dementia Alzheimer's Disease Cancer Pancreatitis Liver Damage Kidney Failure Diabetes Depression Parkinson's Disease ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) Deficiency of all hormones Brain Damage Multiple Sclerosis There is Absolutely No Evidence That Shows Dietary Cholesterol Causes Cardiovascular Disease. Saturated Fats & Cholesterol Have No Effect on CVD Outcomes, Including Heart Attacks, Strokes, CVD Mortality & Total Mortality. The greatest myth in the field of medicine is that there is a relationship between high cholesterol & heart disease--it does not exist. There are no benefits to taking a Statin, yes they lower your cholesterol, but they do not lower Cardiovascular Risk or Disease. Lowering & Eliminating Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease Is Completely Within Your Control. A ketogenic low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, sugar & processed foods provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best biomarkers for cardiovascular health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be less 1.5 or less. 👇Crestor Statin Package Label Insert👇 👇Statins Extend Your Life By Three Days👇 👇Statins Cause New Onset Type 2 Diabetes👇 👇Low LDL Causes Hemorrhagic Stroke 👇 Speaker: Dr Jeffrey Barke, MD

"Cholesterol Lowering Statins Steal Your Health & Your Memory...They Also Steal Your Ability To Speak." Dr Bryan Ardis "Published Studies & The FDA Quietly Admit That Statins Cause Aphasia...The Disease Actor Bruce Willis Is Suffering From." The Truth Big Pharma Wants Buried... In 2012, The US FDA Changed Their Safety Information & Added Black Box Warnings To All Cholesterol Lowering Statins. FDA warning about potential neurocognitive effects of statins which reads as follows: "There have been post-marketing reports of cognitive impairment (e.g.,memory loss, forgetfulness, amnesia, memory impairment, confusion, speech impairment & language delays) associated with statin use." "These cognitive issues have been reported for all statins. The adverse effects are reversible upon statin discontinuation, with variable times to symptom onset (1 day to years) & symptom resolution (median of 3 weeks)." "Neurocognitive effects have been prospectively & retrospectively assessed in multiple statin trials. Assessment of cognitive function included testing in four domains: executive functioning, memory, language & visuospatial ability." All cholesterol lowering statins cross the blood brain barrier & induce neurodegenerative diseases of memory & speech. 8 statins are approved by the US FDA: atorvastatin (Lipitor) fluvastatin (Lescol) lovastatin (Mevacor) lovastatin extended release (Altoprev) pitavastatin (Livalo) pravastatin (Pravachol) rosuvastatin (Crestor) simvastatin (Zocor) There are no benefits to taking a Statin, yes they lower your cholesterol, but they do not lower Cardiovascular Risk or Disease. Statins are dangerous because low cholesterol causes deadly side effects: 💊Statins cause CoQ10 deficiency, resulting in muscle pain & Mitochondrial Dysfunction. 💊Statins inhibit Heme A, a vital component of the electron transport chain for energy. 💊Statins stop Dolichol, a crucial molecule in protein glycosylation in the brain, deficiency leads to Parkinson's & other brain disorders. 💊Statins cause liver & pancreas damage, leading to insulin resistance & type 2 diabetes. 💊Every Statin crosses the blood brain barrier & shuts off the enzyme of cholesterol production leading to Dementia & Alzheimer's. The brain is supposed to be 60% fat & 25% cholesterol. 💊Cholesterol should not be lowered, it's critical for Vitamin D & all hormones, digestion, every cell should be saturated with healthy cholesterol. Chronic Conditions Caused By Cholesterol Lowering Statins: Muscle Pain Muscle Tearing Weakness Neuropathy Heart Failure Dizziness/Vertigo Cognitive Impairment Dementia Aphasia Dysphasia Alzheimer's Disease Cancer Pancreatitis Liver Damage Diabetes Depression Parkinson's Disease ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) Hormonal Deficiency Brain Damage Multiple Sclerosis A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, sugar & processed foods provides the best healthy cholesterol profile.

New episode of HARD DRUGS! Should everyone be taking statins? Statins have revolutionised heart disease and they're one of many reasons for the long-term decline in cardiovascular mortality. Clinical trials suggest that the more you reduce LDL cholesterol levels, the more you reduce the risks of heart attacks and strokes, with no signal of harms even at the lowest levels. So scientists recommend the earlier they're taken the better, and the lower LDL levels you reach the better. Statins do have some rare side effects – such as muscle weakness and muscle loss in rare cases – but meta-analyses of RCTs find that most other side effects listed on statins' labels do not actually have higher risks than placebo. In this episode, Jacob Trefethen and I chat about all this and much more! - Why it took almost a century for scientists to come to consensus on "the lipid hypothesis": that higher levels of plasma LDL cholesterol causes higher risks of heart disease and that reducing it saves lives. - Drugs that effectively reduce cholesterol levels beyond the effect of statins, such as PCSK9 inhibitors, most of which are monoclonal antibodies, as well as newer siRNA drugs and the macrocyclic peptide enlicitide, which recently completed phase 3 trials, and Lp(a) drugs. - What the future holds for cholesterol drugs Timestamps: 0:00:00 Introduction 13:35 The decline in heart disease mortality 31:02 Surprising cholesterol trivia 55:40 The lipid hypothesis: 7 lines of evidence for the harms of LDL cholesterol 1:22:15 How cholesterol works 1:30:40 The discovery of statins 1:48:44 Should everyone be on statins? 1:57:10 PCSK9 drugs and beyond 2:22:56 Summary: how we got here and the future of cholesterol drugs Watch, listen, or read wherever you get your podcasts.

Ever wondered why the very meds prescribed to protect your heart might be quietly fogging your mind? Natural health expert Barbara O'Neill pulls back the curtain on statins—the blockbuster cholesterol-lowering drugs—and their surprising ripple effects on the body and brain. In a eye-opening talk, O'Neill explains how statins work by blocking a key pathway in the liver that produces cholesterol. Sounds smart for heart health, right? But here's the twist: Your brain relies on cholesterol to function at its best—it's essential for building cell membranes, producing hormones, and keeping neurons firing. Disrupt that supply, and trouble brews. O'Neill points to a cascade of potential side effects, including memory fog, heightened risks for Alzheimer's and dementia, muscle weakness (hello, rhabdomyolysis vibes), and even links to breast cancer concerns. And get this: If you've been on statins for a decade or more, O'Neill shares a bold nugget of hope—you might be able to taper off under guidance, with one "side effect" being... sharper recall. But she doesn't sugarcoat it: That same liver pathway? It also cranks out CoQ10, the powerhouse antioxidant that shields your heart from oxidative stress. Statins can deplete it, potentially raising your risk of the very heart issues they're meant to prevent. Talk about a plot twist! O'Neill's message? Knowledge is power—empower yourself with the facts before popping another pill. (Pro tip: Always chat with your doc before any changes; this isn't medical advice, just food for thought.)

Normal Total Cholesterol level used to be 300. Then Normal Was Changed 190. Now They Want It Closer To 150. Big Pharma Keeps Moving The Goalpost... Barbara O'Neill If Someone's On A Fat Free Diet & A Cholesterol Lowering Medication...That's A Recipe For Brain Destruction. 8 Reasons Why You Should NEVER Take A Cholesterol Lowering Statin: 1: Statins cause Brain Damage. Neuroinflammation & Mitochondrial dysfunction resulting in rapid cognitive decline & early onset Alzheimer's. 2: Statins stop Dolichol, a crucial molecule in protein glycosylation in the brain, deficiency leads to Alzheimer's, Lewy Body Dementia, Parkinson's & other brain disorders. 3: Statins cause CoQ10 deficiency, resulting in muscle pain & Mitochondrial Dysfunction, leading to heart attack & stroke. 4: Statins induce Type 2 Diabetes at the rate of 71%. By lowering cholesterol in the blood, Statins interfere with the body's ability to use insulin, thereby causing insulin resistance & high blood sugar levels. 5: Statins inhibit Heme A, a vital component of the electron transport chain for energy. Crucial for oxygen storage & respiratory function. 6: Statins cause Muscle Damage. Breakdown of muscle tissue & profuse tearing resulting in Rhabdomyolysis. 7: Statins cause Liver Damage. Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) with jaundice, acute & chronic liver failure & abdominal pain. 8: Statins increase the risk of brain bleeds. Hemorrhagic Stroke risk increases 3X when cholesterol lowering statins cause LDL to go below 70 mg/dL. Chronic Conditions Caused By Cholesterol Lowering Statins: Muscle Pain Muscle Tearing Weakness Neuropathy Heart Failure Dizziness/Vertigo Cognitive Impairment Dementia Alzheimer's Disease Cancer Pancreatitis Liver Damage Diabetes Depression Parkinson's Disease ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) Testosterone Deficiency Erectile Dysfunction Estrogen Deficiency Vaginal Atrophy Brain Damage Multiple Sclerosis There Is No Cardiovascular Benefit From Taking A Cholesterol Lowering Statin Because Cholesterol Does Not Cause Atherosclerosis Plaque, Arterial Stiffness, Heart Attack Or Stroke. Inflammation & Damage To The Arterial Wall Is The Cause Of Cardiovascular Disease, Not Cholesterol. Cholesterol Is There To Heal The Damage Done By Other Lifestyle Factors Such As High Carb/High Sugar/High Seed Oil Diet, Ultra Processed Foods, Smoking, Stress, Etc. The Research Is Clear. The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live. A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, sugar & processed foods provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best Biomarkers for Cardiac health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be 1.5 or less. 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇Low Cholesterol Is Deadly👇 👇High Cholesterol Prevents Atherosclerosis👇 Speaker: Barbara O'Neill Video: @health1solutions

Dr. Aseem Malhotra exposes statins: A 1% benefit with hidden costs—time for informed consent Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a renowned cardiologist, has raised critical concerns about statins, one of the most prescribed drugs globally, with 30 million users in the U.S. and up to a billion worldwide. In a recent discussion, he unpacked the shocking truth about their efficacy, urging patients to question the widespread use of these cholesterol-lowering medications. Drawing from industry-sponsored trial data, Dr. Malhotra highlights that for most people—those not at high risk of heart attack—taking a statin daily for five years offers just a 1% chance of preventing a non-fatal heart attack or non-disabling stroke. Critically, this comes with no evidence of prolonging life by even a single day. He emphasizes that this information, available at is rarely communicated to patients due to systemic gaps in medical training, where doctors are not taught to interpret and convey such data effectively. Dr. Malhotra advocates for informed consent, presenting patients with these facts without coercion. Many, he notes, are dismayed by the minimal benefit when weighed against potential side effects, which affect 20-50% of users. These include muscle pain, fatigue, brain fog, erectile dysfunction, joint pain, and stomach issues. Strikingly, he has witnessed elderly patients misdiagnosed with dementia or frailty regain memory and vitality weeks after discontinuing statins. This is not a call to stop medication abruptly, but a plea for patients to engage in informed discussions with their doctors. Dr. Malhotra’s book, A Statin-Free Life, available on Amazon, delves deeper into these findings, offering a comprehensive resource for those seeking clarity on cholesterol management and drug benefits. For evidence-based insights on statins and other medications, visit Dr. Malhotra’s mission is clear: empower patients with knowledge to make health decisions that align with their values and quality of life.
