Most doctors do not manage a patient they manage the symptoms by prescription and no very little about nutrition or holistic treatment. In my experience.
Exactly
This is 100% true and that’s what happened to my Dad and cost him his life unnecessarily 😢😂
@@iamdrludmilla Polypharmacy/Prescription cascading... sadly.. and they don't realize that morphine withdrawals and heart failure has the exact same symptoms.. so they are drugging elders with morphine then stating its heart failure smh
Doctors don't really care about patients all they do is prescribe drugs every month they add drugs and that's not good
You didn't say weather statin is good or not
I was on statin in 2014 for about 10 months I went cold turkey. Its was my decision because more medicine is only band aid not prevention. I choose alternative options for my own health and with less side effects, not even every day meds that we buy at drug stores. I saw my mother and other family members going that route, it’s not what I want for my life. Our bodies make cholesterol and our brain needs it to function better. To say all that, we’re what we eat therefore eating healthy is very important. I make my meals daily from scratch, my health is very important so I try and treat it that way. I’m 75 years old, my mom at 72 years couldn’t do half of what I accomplished in a day. I say our health is important it’s our wealth.
I agree! Good health is the most important wealth.
I would love to know what you eat
@@andryiad9467 I’m sorry just getting back to you. Each morning on empty stomach I take 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. I do only have two meals daily. Very limited snacks only, to get my daily intake of what my body needs, I payed attention to what I’m buying. My first meal is my biggest, that always depends on how hungry I’m. My pantry has Teff,Amaranth,Quinoa, Mellet and Old fashioned Oat I like steel cut also some rice. I ❤️ my cheese but I mostly prefer goat’s and sheep’s cheese because it’s better my guts a small portion of cow is ok. I like kefir also goat’s some cow, kefir is good when having some granola with berries and apples. Hemp and flex seeds for my smoothie and porridge. I used a lot of mushrooms also dark leafy green, cabbage mixed of green some more other, onions, garlic, ginger and turmeric all fresh. Only I used are coconut, olives oils must be extra virgin olive & coconut oil’s. all my fish must be wild salmon, mackerel, fresh cod’s and tin tin sardines I can’t get enough them. Liver few times a month when I can find it at my health shops, beefsteak, ground beef, chicken and started eating bacon again and that’s my treat. I eats lot of eggs more than 2 dozen a month about 2-3 a day not every day it’s best protein for low income person. Here’s something I use is butter, my meats and dairy products are all grass fed and the rest are mostly organic. I enjoy my sweet potatoes and potatoes but sweet potato is first. The two nut I used is pistachios and Brazil nut, for eating Brazil nuts I have only two days it’s like taking meds too much is bad for the body. I make bone broth twice a month and freeze half for other meals. I do eat bread, and usually use almond butter for extra protein for my smoothies and cereal when I make them. How can I forget the good old avocados 🥑, I will put a piece into my smoothie with ginger and kale.🥬 Blessings always 🇨🇦🇨🇦
@@andryiad9467 I drink lemon balm , lemon grass and I use hibiscus tea for helping my blood pressure. I also try getting into leafy form instead of bags I founded them much stronger in quantity.
Great topic! I don’t like statins. My husband experienced side effects, elevated liver enzymes and high A1C. He had to take insulin for a short period of time. He was not diabetic but since then has be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. As a nurse, I had challenges with his provider because he was refusing to stop the statin. Even wanted him to continue with the insulin after I got his blood sugar to manageable levels. Needless to say, I stopped the medicine and found another doctor to care for my husband. People need to know more about the side effects. Thank you! I’m loving these presentations. God bless.
Your husband is lucky to have such a caring wife.
Dr. Montgomery, I appreciate your honesty about the fact that drugs can be harmful to us. We know you care and please continue to share your thoughts with us!
Thank you, Dr. Montgomery, smart, caring, and handsome.
Wow, thank you!

Hey! Dr. Montgomery do you’ll have in person classes on plant base diets?
Thank you⚘
You’re welcome 😊
Dr Montgomery can you please do a segment on Carvedilol and Entresto please. How do you feel about these drugs?
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll place it on the list.
I love your content but it would be helpful to break it down for us common folk. 😊
Great feedback, thank you.
Very important in knowing how to prescribe medicine but what's in Statin that can harm human cellular system is it toxic?
Thank you Dr Montgomery for your sharing. It seemed like Statin is commonly prescribed. A few of my friends here are taking Statin drugs....🙂
Interesting! It seems like they are distributed like candy.
They are very commonly prescribed. Too much in my opinion.
@@MontgomeryHeartWellness Yea, Dr Montgomery. This seems to be very commonly prescribed here. :(
@@MontgomeryHeartWellness Dr Montgomery, may i ask do you do consultation, advice , monitor and support the healing and wellbeing of patients who live overseas and are not able to fly all the way to Houston Texas to meet with you ? I am asking so that I can share your information with any of my friends who are in need and may be open to seek your professional advice.
Thank you.🙂🙏
What are the best supplememts for cholesterol and high blood pressure?
What are your thoughts on prolonged use of statins for hypercholesterolemia?
Appreciate you. I have a ? That no dr seems to answer for me. I had an angiogram and no blockages found. Not on statins but have high cholesterol . 69 yrs old. Left bundle branch blockage. Why would i need a statin if i dont have blockages. Not on statin now. Thank you
It's likely because of your risk factors for heart disease. I will plan a video on this topic. Stay tuned.
My sister took statins & she had every side effect..sad could not walk
Thank you, very informative. I tried statins twice, and each time I experienced muscle dysfunction. Not taking them!
Glad it was helpful!
i noticed i couldn't walk.. so i stopped my Statin .. in 2 days was walking perfectly. My Doctor then prescribed a different Statin .. i had bad knee pain .. i then stopped my Statin and feel better then i stopped all my meds. Completely drug free 7 weeks .. normal blood pressure. normal fasting sugar level. 98% oxygen level .. overall feeling better than when i was on the 10 meds.
I have very high Lipoprotein (a). My cardiologist wants me to go on a statin and anticoagulant. What are your thoughts around this?

@@MontgomeryHeartWellness Am I reading the study wrong or were the patients still eating animal products throughout the four weeks? Did it not mention that Lp(a) increased on plant only diet studies?
Lp(a) levels are genetically based. Diets won’t change it.
I changed my eating habits to vegan. 8 months now
I stopped taking blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds
I was 150 to 160 over 90 to 95.
Cholesterol was 240 last year
This year, it was 278.
I'm not concerned about the cholesterol.
The Doctor even said make sure you're talking your meds
He wasn't concerned about it
Blood pressure was 140 /85 at the doctors office.
It's coming down
I need to make an appointment with your office
I live in Houston
Yes, definitely make an appointment and come see Dr. Montgomery. You'll find our phone number on our website. Don't email. Please call.
Thank you
Doc I’ve recently met two persons whose cholesterol was close to 300 for multiple years and while statin drugs did not help, they were still asked to stay on them? Each of them has expressed frustration and interest in dietary changes. Your thoughts?
There will be a video on this.
Do you recommend doing a thorough detox of your body?
Yes
@@MontgomeryHeartWellness Do you recommend specific herbs or substances aside from using nutrition solely? Thank you for your valuable time.
I have eaten wfpb no oil no salt no sugar. I ate nuts and seeds...big mistake.. My tc has never been over 150. After dropping all overt fats it dropped to 115. My ldl remained 70 and has now gone up to 80. I have...despite all attempts to be as healthy as possible..W no cheating...yet I have still developed systemic atherosclerosis and have as shown by imaging. I am starting a low dose statin to reduce my ldl. I don't know what else to do.
Please if be so kind I’m on medication from a stroke almost 4 ago. Back in May I started experiencing nasal dripping from nose down In throat. Freeway is being re built there is a lot of dust, I’ve had a negative allergy test, and negative CSF, I’ve been given nose sprays. I do exercise, swim, lift weights, eat organic fruits and vegetables juice fruits. Don’t fry eat a clean fish, no breads, no rice, and i detox. I believe it’s the medication how can you help me.

Dr insisted my sister take it. She had a stroke afterward & heart problems & ended up in a wheelchair
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm very sorry to hear about this.
@MontgomeryHeartWellness I'm not sure how a patient is supposed to approach their doctor about taking medications that don't have studies or haven't been researched for long-term affects on their healh.😔😔😔😒
I take statins one week out of the month for inflamation check. Thats it. Is that good?
Dietary change can lower inflammation, too.
@@MontgomeryHeartWellness i do that as well.
@@MontgomeryHeartWellness i just need to take out wheat though. Been following your channel for a month now.
My dad takes statin, his legs are very weak, and he has a problem with dementia.
Hmmmmmmm!
Probably not the comment she/he was looking for
Come to the conclusion other doctors said that statin is good for cholesterol
H.I.M.
I refuse to take them.
Big no ofc, plants compounds are better with thus being said healthy people need animal foods like eggs and butter at least
I am taking 400 mg of metroprolo daily. Isn't that too much?
It depends. I will have a video on medications coming soon.
