There is no evidence to support the notion that cholesterol is a cause of heart disease. Around the world there are populations with high cholesterol and low heart disease. Japan, Italy for example. No doctor can explain this fact.
Thank you! I was about to post my comment saying the same. It is frightening, honestly, that doctors don't study the medical studies with a critical eye, including checking the statistics for relative risk vs absolute risk. Cholesterol does not cause heart disease, but a diet full of low fat, high sugar carbs does cause the inflammatory damage that over time causes CHD. There are other doctors trying to get the message out.
@@tnprincess888 doctors are not clever as people think. They get their degree by memorize entire books. They have huge theoretical knowledge but they lack critical thinking.
Statins were discovered in Japan. In Japan they did a extence 3 year test, They found a high number of people on statins got dimentia. Statins are not prescribed in Japan.
My GP tried to put me on statins without ever talking to me about them. I just noticed they had been added to my normal diabetes prescription. I told my GP that unless a heart specialist recommends them, I won’t be taking them.
The same way they do it with antivirus meds. Bone density issues, lipodystrophy, muscle atrophy and very serious liver injury. They don’t know that I’m taking half dosages.
Doctors never told me about the side effects of statins I wondered why my muscles hurt I had brain fog and irritable farted and made a mess The next doctor that tries to put me on statins is getting punched in the head
@@SK-ne4bf deep fried foods are carcinogenic. That’s what makes them cancer linked. Eat healthy whole food sources of cholesterol like eggs or red meat
This doctor incriminates himself by listing true severe side effects from statin drug he prescribes. He actually admits he causes bodily harm to his patients.
Hmmm, yet my previous DR told me (with a cholesterol level of 160) that if i dont take my statin medication that i would have a heart attack within a year. And that all the horrible side effects ive been having are in my head. (terrible muscle pain, muscle cramps, Fatigue, weakness, groin pain and brain fog..) My new doctor said i shouldn't have been put on them in the first place.
I’m 60 and just started taking simvastatin, one tablet two months in. I cycle 150-200 miles a week, I’ve noticed I’ve a little less stamina however the internal side effects are more my concern. I’m 5’11” and 73kg and with respect very fit, I seem to be suffering more aches and pains from old sporting injuries than I used too. With respect it’s hard to monitor when you’re very active. My legs ache but they always do, they get one to two days rest.
80 days into taking 20mg Atorvastatin, my BLOOD PLATELETS DROPPED FROM 160 TO 94 (59%) and I have myopathy. My cardio took me off the statin 7-1-2024 and going to run a battery of tests to see what damaged has been done. Will update
Hi, my doctor prescribes statins rosuvastatin (Crestor) for cholesterol control.After a year I developed what could be similar to Alzheimer's symptoms. I had difficulty remembering things ( 15 minutes of memory ).I had been tested with the Montreal test and they said that I could have the beginning of Alzheimer's. After that I went to the internet google and CZcams and from there some CZcams doctors told in a video that statins were affecting cholesterol and that the brain made up with a lot of it. Guest what, I stopped taking those statins and 2 weeks after I didn't have any symptoms. A real miracle, I could have continue taking that medicine and have bad symptoms for the reste of my life. CZcams had made me realize what could have been the source of my problem. No thanks to my doctor and his staff. . LESSON : STATINE ARE NOT WITHOUT RISK!
Rosuvastatin is the one that messed me up bad, I stopped taking it for a couple of months and got feeling better, so the doc put me on Atorvastatin. I took 1 pill of Atorvastatin and it brought back all the things the rosuvastatin did to me. I will never take statins ever again.
I wish my Husbands Doctor had listened to him when he had severe muscle aches causing his mobility to be very poor. His kidneys and liver were also affected. Sadly nothing was done and he died in Hospital last year from what I believe was his Statin medication.
Is it really so hard for you to see the common denominator between all of the side effects you have just described? Statins cause X depletion (please guess what X would be, "doctor"), which in turn causes muscle aches, contributes to rhabdo, liver injury and diabetes. And this means you can prevent many of the side effects, by supplementing X. Having said this, it's a shame you prescribe statins and then start worrying. Try worrying first, and then come to the conclusion your patients can be helped without statins. Most people on statins don't need them, if only they had enough X.
Why do yiu not tell people to change diet ( less carbs and suggar) and eat clean healty foods , loose weight and exercise ? You are killing people with this so caled medicines

My personal experience with statins was horrible. I'll never take that poison again.

Cholesterol is an association not causation of heart disease. Doctors do not understand that.

Yes statins are prescribed in Japan .
Statins are prescribed in Japan but at lower dosage because East Asians have more side effects.
Why you people lies so much.
It's very true. They cause dementia like symptoms. I am dealing with this case right now at home 😢
My GP tried to put me on statins without ever talking to me about them. I just noticed they had been added to my normal diabetes prescription. I told my GP that unless a heart specialist recommends them, I won’t be taking them.
You can report him for medical malpractice. Statins is pure poison.
Me too. I didn’t pick them up
How can you look at yourself in the mirror in the morning knowing this, yet still putting people on this poison?
The same way they do it with antivirus meds. Bone density issues, lipodystrophy, muscle atrophy and very serious liver injury. They don’t know that I’m taking half dosages.
He also knows that 95% people who don't have ANY side effects have almost 10 years more life expectancy due to these meds
My dad took this med for 40 years and found no side effects
Completely agree🙏
It’s interesting in the comments that most are against statin use. The general public are not stupid.
I got off them i have fybromyalgia and arthritis which Statins tripled my pains.
The muscle aches never go away😢
Cause the statins are killing your mitochondria. You're wasting away.
They do If you stop taking them don’t they ?
23 years on simvastatin, 71 years old ,on no other med, still running, cycling and weightlifting.
Does not sound like you need them. ?

There is no direct link between cholesterol and heart disease
This is correct
There is a correlation between low cholesterol and heart attacks
Yeah.. you can eat more fries and 🍕 yaaaah.. heart is happy ❤❤

I went crazy through memory loss while on this poison. I had to convince my doc who wanted me to stay on it. I ignored his request and got better.
Did memory loss process stop and did it reverse after stopping taking this awful drug?

I was having cognitive and mood issues on Atorvastatin. Not having them on rosuvastatin. This is not a common side-effect, but does occur.

Con enzyme A12 does not cross the blood brain barrier but statins do reducing cholesterol and causing neurological issues
Thanks for such great information.

Hey doc, any relation between statin use and focal lesion?

What is X?
@@middleearth8809 Waiting for the doctor to answer that question. If he doesn't know it he should perhaps resign and find another job.
Suggest viewers look at David Diamond PhD and his statin research. There are several videos on CZcams.
My life with statins was hell, I couldn't live like that
I had it all the blood sugar that normally was 5 went to 8. I suffered rabdo my body had severe muscle and kidney pain. I hate this drug its dangerous
Can it affect joints too
Why do yiu not tell people to change diet ( less carbs and suggar) and eat clean healty foods , loose weight and exercise ? You are killing people with this so caled medicines
This is exaggerated to the point of being scaremongering and does not match the clinical evidence.

Maybe you should nt take statins

You can stick your statins where the sun don't shine.
