Statins are one of the main cholesterol-lowering drugs and, statistically, one in four American citizens over the age of 45 takes them to lower their cholesterol levels.
This industry is worth approximately $30 billion, but it is also associated with countless side effects such as chronic fatigue, anemia, liver dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, acidosis, thyroid disorders, and cancer.
There is a film, "29 Billion Reasons to Lie About Cholesterol" by Justin Smith, in which he reported:
"Between 1994 and 2006, men aged 65 to 74 who faced an increase in cholesterol levels lowered them from 87% to 54%, but this same group began to suffer from heart disease, and the rate of coronary heart disease remained the same. There were also other groups where people with high cholesterol levels had decreased while the rate of heart disease had increased."
According to numerous studies, cholesterol-lowering drugs increase the risk of cancer, and in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there was a report dating back to 1996:
"The use of lipid-lowering drugs (statins and fibrates) only increased the risk of cancer in rodents. In a few cases, the animals were exposed to levels comparable to those prescribed for humans.
Careful post-marketing surveillance and long-term clinical trials were needed over the following decades to determine whether the drugs prescribed to lower cholesterol levels are actually the ones that trigger cancer in humans. During the research, it was quickly found that these lipid-lowering drugs, particularly statins and fibrates, should not be used in humans or animals, especially in patients at high risk of coronary heart disease."
Therefore, the use of these cholesterol-lowering medications can have many other negative consequences, such as:
- Statins increase the risk of chronic inflammation, cause type 2 diabetes, weaken our immune system and increase blood sugar.
- They often lead to anxiety, depression, memory problems, and neurological damage.
- Statins are capable of reducing testosterone levels in men.
- These drugs were associated with more than 300 negative side effects, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, thyroid disorders, chronic fatigue, neuropathy, and anemia.
In addition to all this, the presence of cholesterol in our body is essential for the proper functioning of the brain and also to ensure the optimal production of hormones.
Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a leading expert in the field of natural cardiology and a board-certified cardiologist, stated:
"It is a fact that our body needs cholesterol. When we look at the MRFIT (Multiple Factor Risk Intervention Trial) study, in which more than 180,000 men were examined for 13 years, men with a cholesterol level of 180 had more hemorrhagic strokes than those with a level of around 330. If we look at this figure correctly, the higher the cholesterol level, the lower the risk of hemorrhagic stroke."
We need cholesterol for many reasons. We need it for our sex hormones, our adrenal hormones, for our skin, to activate vitamin D3 from sunlight, for lubrication, our brain needs it for neurotransmitter function, and so on. It is therefore not surprising that LDL levels are too low, that some patients exhibit symptoms or memory problems predating Alzheimer's, or even global amnesia, which is the loss of all memory.
So, if you want to lower your cholesterol naturally, you need to train and exercise regularly, while maintaining a healthy diet!
Dr. Aseem Malhotra is a cardiologist, and he reported:
"As you can clearly see, a healthy lifestyle and healthy habits will give much better results than medication, which is also effective but has a much higher cost and many negative side effects!"
The former president of the Royal College of Physicians and former personal physician to the Queen, Sir Richard Thompson, said:
"The popular theory that diet and blood cholesterol are our enemies should be avoided, because sugar consumption is the main culprit and has a much greater influence on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. It's definitely time to take a hard look at ourselves, think things through, and make some changes to our diets. We should move towards a much healthier diet, such as a Mediterranean diet, and increase our physical activity, which is far cheaper and safer than medication."
The best and healthiest way to maintain your cholesterol levels is to consume a tablespoon of wheatgrass daily. This will cleanse your body of toxins and waste, reduce total and LDL cholesterol levels, and also lower blood pressure.
Start eating avocados every day. They are a rich source of many nutrients and are quite healthy for you, according to Health:
"In a study conducted as part of the Pennsylvania State University Study, participants were placed on a moderate or low-fat diet, with or without avocado. The low-fat diet reduced LDL by 7 mg/dL, while the moderate-fat diet produced even better, more unexpected results: those who did not eat avocado had an 8 mg/dL reduction in LDL, and those who consumed avocados had a 14 mg/dL reduction in LDL."
