Why Everything You’ve Been Told About Statins And Cholesterol Is Wrong.

for me keto and IF work or just keto with counted kcal, hungry works too.

I see some interesting posts here. The opening post coincides with more modern thinking on fat, cholesterol and salt.

I eat tons of good fat these days. I am losing weight. And my cholesterol levels are good.

And I eat loads of eggs and use plenty of salt.

all things ive been told to avoid for cholestrol--lol. i take rosuvastatin to control my chol--i make too much and no diet on earth will affect it.

I am trying to get off / avoid all of these medications. So far so good.

my condition is inherited. very high chol--but maintained around 4 with the statin i'm on. it was a new wonder drug..been on it a good few years now..other meds too.

does it cause bad breath--and do you fart a lot ?

i was 9 stone at 20--when i got married the first time. i was thin as a stick but tough with it.

No. I hardly fart at all now since reducing carbs.
Bad breath happens with Keto.

Good question I used to fart a lot before changing my diet @bigmac - it was actually a symptom though I didn’t know it at the time.

That was me at 21. At my age now my pancreas works poorly and losing weight is much harder.

This video is very good at explaining the relationship between cholesterol, fat, diabetes and heart disease. And statins. This guy is addressing GP’s at Oxford University.

The Fat Emperor, they call him. His stuff is modern and turns what we thought was correct, upside down.

Sadly BootsontheGround is correct here. Or his post is.

I have just halved my medication for blood pressure by reducing my body weight and blood sugar levels. My aim is to avoid medicine by bringing my blood pressure to within a more normal range. My GP has endorsed this approach.

Love him or loath him this post of Bootsontheground is spot on.

We will hear sometime soon when Dr Aseem Malhotra’s next book is released however today Dr Paul Mason explains further...

I just had my lipids tested and the results couldn’t be any better, despite eating a lot of healthy saturated fat these days.

This is also spot on. He has this exactly right.

What Dave E needed to do was alter his diet. If only he knew.

Out soon...

“A Book The Food And Pharmaceutical Industries Will Hate
10 years of my own research and investigation combined with my clinical experience with patients has gone into producing my best and most important piece of work to date.

Despite many obstacles in that journey of getting the truth out to the masses including ongoing and persistent attempts from various quarters to destroy my career, (more on that in my next blog) I’m delighted to share that my latest book, A Statin Free Life is now available for pre-order.

Released on August 19th it covers the real root causes of heart disease, saturated fat misinformation, a better understanding of cholesterol and why lowering it may be a very bad idea, the statin scam, what to do about side effects, familial hyperlipidaemia, heart stents, coronary calcium scores, and a better way to prevent and potentially reverse heart disease through specific lifestyle changes.

The book emphasises ethical, evidence based medical practice and is written to educate and empower patients, members of the public, doctors and cardiologists.

It’s undergone extensive peer review from independent medical experts in the field with descriptions such as “game changing”, “excellent” and “flawlessly written” but perhaps more importantly I’ve had very encouraging feedback from respected non-expert lay people too.

Author, TV Presenter and entrepreneur Liz Earle MBE wrote “A thought provoking and engaging book, backed by science for an enlightening read. Packed with detail and references, this is a riveting read for anyone with a heart. The pharmaceutical and food industries will hate it.”

Why take Statins when we can change what we eat instead?
