for turmeric another Dr, Dr Abby Philips (the liver doc) had advocated that 96+% of it is not absorbed and that the tests favouring turmeric are only clinical trials and not entire body trials.....
Dr. Dhand, can you do a talk about relative risk reduction vs. absolute risk reduction numbers that are presented in journal papers extolling the efficacy of statins?
Chia seeds work.
The same has been done with Tamoxifen, the anti-breast cancer drug. I think we'll find it has been done with most medications.
While I agree with your approach of eating natural foods and exercising regularly, this isn't going to change much for people (such as most of my family) genetically prone to have high LDL. What to do in that case?
Apparently Dr. Dhand takes the Hippocratic Oath seriously which sadly makes him the exception instead of the norm.
Dr. Dhand is awesome!
Taking the Hippocratic Oath seriously makes Dr. Dhand an authentic caring doctor that is appreciated....by many people worldwide.
Ain't that the truth @ Mike Morris -
LMHR proves high cholesterol is good for us
I would Not be surprised if big pharma Goes Legal on Him! He is stealing their money Action!
High cholesterol is not a Statin deficiency.
"High Cholesterol" is an invention of PHARMA. Follow the $$. They even got the original level artificially lowered to make tens of millions of new customers, (victims).
priceless comment loaded with truth
nail in a sure place. Thanks
No its a mainly diet related, but dr.s don't also tell you that the liver makes it as well 😮
Thank you Doctor. Processed food, seed oils, massive amounts of sugar and carbs cause oxidative stress and inflammation. Since I went Low Carb (less than 100 grams a day) and eating clean, losing weight, skin has cleared up, brain fog is gone, and overall fell better.
A patient cured is a customer lost!!!😊
You nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Mum is 96. I asked her what she attributes her long life to. Whether she is right or not this was her answer. 'Well, I have never taken pills in my life - I have always avoided any medication'.
Treatments are FAR more profitable than cures.
That's it in a nut shell.
No money in cures.
Isn't that SAD but true? ALWAYS...follow the $$$.
No money in cures.
Absolutely!!🎉
80 to 100 yrs ago we did not have seed oils , processed foods and only the rich could afford sugar .
more like 200 years ago. 100 years ago we do not have seed oils and processed foods, but we did have sugar. He is the starting point en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Karl_Achard
The majority of people also physically labored many hours per day also.
Only part of it. If you read actual reports and studies from just pre and post contact (colonization) shows indigenous in gen were far healthier then Europeans. The food they ate depended on area and country etc. Some are alot of organ meats (not muscle), fish eggs, wild flowers stored in liquid animal oil, plus fermented corn. Others Euro indigenous ate homemade bread cake made from self grown grain or raw dairy and naturally very high vitamin butter oil harvested in spring and stored. Term ‘grass fed’ is mostly marketing now sadly. Not easy to find this is info but worth it.
but you still miss the ponit why? why ldl will get high? ldl getting high because our body need it . This is similar that you eat more when you hungry, when your body need it!
And everyone smoked
I took statins between 55 and 58 and decided to thrown them away. As a lifelong runner I wasted 3 seasons due to calf cramps. That were debilitating and would take 3-6 weeks of no running to heal. I stopped statins and have been running like a rabbit since. Now 60 and enjoying running as much as ever. Stopped blood pressure medicine too and learned to have the best BP ever with nutrition.
My DR gave me statins ,never filled the prescription. They are programmed to automatically hand out statins.
What did you do nutrition wise to come off of BP meds?
You’re doing what ? Like a rabbit!
@@girl_on_fire_x_x Keto, with an emphasis on everything homemade
Running is bad for the heart and joints etc.
Do your research.
This video was about me in every aspect. I eat hardly any sugar and carbs, weight train and eat real food since August of 2021 and you cannot believe the difference it's made in how I look and feel. I'm off all 4 prescribed meds also and living healthy at 61. Oh, and I'm also an antivaxxer they talk about on the news. Great video doc!
Wonderful to hear you are doing so well Mark!
So YOU're the antivaxxer I've been hearing so much about!!! 😁
@@booch326 Yeah, I'm the guy that's on the news and late night talk shows everyone's talking about. I am the reason the pandemic got so bad. There's another medical CZcams channel "Dr. Boz" that put out an hour long video last week reviewing Phizers own data when clinical trials were conducted. You might want to watch it but wear a helmet because you will fall over backwards. Again, not my numbers, not some CZcams doctor but Phizers own data showed before rollout that for every 100,000 doses, 2 lives will be saved however, in that same 100,000 there were 27 deaths from adverse events. Roughly a 14:1 ratio of death vs benefit. You can't make this stuff up.
Same here, the antivaxxer too, started keto diet and intermittent fasting on August 2021. I'm 58, never need meds but I had joint pain. The keto diet caused the pain to disappear. It came back when I cheated too long. So I have to be good lol.
It sounds to me like the people with the biggest brains decided not to get the Vax and searched youtube for the best Dr's health advice instead.
I have high cholesterol and my Doctor wanted to put me on statins. She sent me to a cardiologist, who tried to shame me into taking statins. Hoping to slam-dunk me, he suggested I get a cardiac calcium score. He was actually rude in his demeanor. I said sure! Cost me $100, out of pocket. Guess what? I aced it. ZERO build-up in my coronary arteries. Shut him up like nobody's business.
Good for you🎉
Charlatans
Love this! Thank you for sharing!
My GP has been pushing a statin too. I have high LDL but I have good HDL, low triglycerides, not diabetic, always have great BP, lost 40 pounds so normal BMI and not a smoker. So why would I take it for just 1 marker? He kept suggesting I go to a cardiologist and I said WHY? same thing; I won't take a statin! My GP finally ordered me the CAC scan and my was also a BIG, FAT ZERO😆
That's fantastic. Good for you!
I have high cholesterol , for 40 years. Refused statins. Recently had an cardiac screening to look for plaque in my cardiac arteries. It was zero.
Well done 😂😂😂
Praised be The Lord ❤❤❤
My elderly mother is the same as you but, I'm the opposite. Why is that? CAC score of 53. :(
my doctor is flummoxed by me. High cholesterol but no plaque in my arteries. Low BP, low heart rate, low blood sugar.
Same for me, high cholesterol but 0 calcium score. Doctors put you on statins without first sending you to get a CAC exam and Angiogram. Pill Pushers!
Can we all take a moment to thank Dr Sunell Dhand for being the awesome, caring, truth telling Doctor that he is!! All Doctors should be like him!! THANK YOU Dr. Dhand! We love you!! ❤️ 👨🏽⚕️
Here here❤❤
There,there
Same.... ❤
Amen, we are so thankful for you!!!!
Low cholesterol is more dangerous than high cholesterol.
Need to make a more specific statement. HDL, LDL-large buoyant okay in quantity it is the LDL-small dense that blocks arteries.
Cholesterol is needed to make hormones in the body. But we are being bombarded with xenoestrogens from all the
plastic exposure in our daily lives. I wonder if the high levels are a natural response.
@Tori1401, cholesterol doesn't block arteries. 87% of a plaque is fibrin. Basically a scab. Your liver makes exactly how much cholesterol that you need. Upwards of 5 GRAMS per day.
As the good doctor explained, oxidation is what injures the arterial lining. The injury is caused by constantly elevated insulin due to much too high of glucose levels. It's also the origin of Diabetes and alzheimers, same disease, different locations.
There are many good doctors unraveling the phony lipid hypothesis. In time it will be common knowledge, but I won't be waiting around.
The reason these diseases have surged, especially since the 70s, is due to the processed food lobby.
The western world drinks more carbohydrate in one sitting than should be eaten in a week.
@@zamfirtoth6441 yes I agree with that but too much low density lipoprotein does clog the arteries.
Like high BP
Cholesterol is essential for brain health and hormone production. Cholesterol also helps to heal tissue damage.
The high sugar high carbohydrate Standard American Diet raises insulin levels eventually leading to insulin resistance and systemic inflammation causing damage to the cardiovascular system. It is Cholesterol that is deposited to help heal that damage and other damage caused by insulin resistance.
Yes this is a simple explanation and as the good Dr explained it behooves us to look at the root cause rather than a bandaid.
frustose, sucrose, glucose
Yep. The book The Cholesterol Myth does a fantastic job of explaining why high LDL is not the problem. Saturated fat is not the problem. Insulin resistance is the root. I will never take a statin.
We make all the cholesterol we require. LDL is causal to atherosclerosis.
There's also evidence that the allegedly "heart healthy" seed oils, commonly referred to as vegetable oils, actually cause atherosclerosis and are a major factor in the declining health of Americans over the last several decades, especially since the revised nutritional guidelines were brought in.
"Cholesterol is essential for brain health and hormone production. Cholesterol also helps to heal tissue damage."
Oy.
Cells all over the body make cholesterol. We don't need to eat cholesterol or other garbage foods that upregulate our liver's production of it.
I am 5ft 2in and weighed 48kg(105.8lb) when I was 43. My doctor said I have high cholesterol and I need to get it down. Went on a restrictive diet and dropped to 43.5kg(96lb)
My cholesterol was still high, but he said that's lowered enough now.
I said ''I can't live like this. I'm starving!!!''
I eat what I want now and don't get it checked anymore and refuse pills.
Cholesterol levels are easily manipulated.
What was the diet?
@sandramorton5510 no meat, just fish and salads, or vegetables, no sauces or graveys, no deserts, no takeaways and it still only lowered my cholesterol half a point. It was ridiculous in my mind to live such a strict diet to not even get the result desired.
@@iamthatiam363 So it sounds like low calorie diet, which is what they prescribed to me. Is it high LDL?
Wooooow. High cholesterol supposedly runs in my dads side of the family. I don’t know if I have it, and don’t care honestly.
I am 5”3 and 45kg and I can only imagine what would happen to me if I ate a diet you described. I’ve been eating way more animal protein and fats recently and I haven’t even gained a kilo…. It’s a good thing you got off that diet but wow, fck that doctor for almost unaliving you..
My MD here in Oregon USA does not prescribe statins. He is not real concerned with high cholesterol levels. He stresses lifestyle changes over medication. He went to medical school in Europe. Thinks a little differently than standard American doctors.
I agree about people having diseases that were not as common as today or non existent. I had a large family, I'm 64 and we didn't have anyone with Alzheimer. Everyone seems to have Alzheimer's today. We only treat the symptoms, not the root problem.
Alzheimer's is now frequently referred to as a T3 diabetes, I agree.
Like all these cancers in children
Americans consume more glyphosates than ever before ever since the FDA approved spraying it on grains as a desiccant. Up 10,000 fold compared to use as pesticide only. The poisoning of America! Ignore the FDA food pyramid. It's FOS. Take your health back into your own hands. I buy no processed foods. I don't eat out either. Just carnivore diet. Never felt so good in over a decade.
All our 🆘✡️👺Fruits & Vegetables & Grains & Cows & Chickens HAVE BEEN Sadistically Abused & poisoned by 🆘✡️ THISE most promoted Big Undisclosed Corporates & Food providers .... undisclosed Ongoing Agendas ✡️🆘👺‼️
When the treatment is the cause?
I am a disability claims examiner and I agree with you 100%. I read medical records all day long and it seems like most doctors only address symptoms with Rx after Rx instead of addressing the cause. The longer I work, the less faith I have in the healthcare system.
Yes,I can well understand your view,and I totally agree with it.
Don't blame the doctors for all of that problem. Too many patients seem to want to hang on to the "junk" foods rather than make lifestyle changes, which leaves doctors with no choice but to prescribe medications to try and address the problem. There are doctors who don't seem to give a flip though.
I was given the choice, about 20 years ago, to either make dietary and lifestyle changes or go on meds. I chose the former. I tried to pass this info on to siblings in similar condition. None of them made any changes and now two have had major cardiac issues with one almost dying (and has NOW made the necessary changes). Two others are skating on thin ice.
Cholesterol is the building block to every cell in the human body,
The sooner people realise they have been duped the better,
When the allopathic system was invented by Rockefellers henchmen it wasn’t to help humanity but to eliminate it.
Truth!!
rustic......well said...bravo...
It's easier to pop a pill than make lifestyle changes.
Becky : You are So Correct , My Brother has always been Addicted to Sugar , and now he has T2D !
I have tried to get him to go Keto , Low Carb . He Knows he can keep eating Sugar and pop pills !
It is killing him slowly , But he is still getting his Sugar , so he doesn't care !
Another friend takes blood pressure pills so he can Keep Drinking Beer !
Humans .
@@jimmyhvy2277 I am able to maintain a healthy weight utilizing the ketogenic diet myself. If your brother would just give it a chance, he would reap all the benefits as well. His sugar cravings would disappear.
It's unfortunate that our food supply is loaded with high fructose corn syrup, in addition to other things that we should not be consuming. These ingredients are highly addictive.
I'm glad that you are staying healthy, my friend!
@@jimmyhvy2277
You are describing one of my relatives
@@jimmyhvy2277sounds like your describing my husband 😮
@@jimmyhvy2277 I know a relative which actually said, I can eat all the sweets I want, that is what insulin is for!
You are totally correct. Statins did not stop my husband from having 2 heart attacks and dying. There was no competent treatment of his high blood sugar. They just kept the pills coming and he paid the ultimate price.
Sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry 😢
Im so sorry
Diabetes is also caused by saturated fat.
Agreed 100%. Drs. prescribed all kinds of pills for various chronic conditions but told him that his "pre-diabetes" was nothing to be concerned about. He died within a year. Our medical system and food supply is disastrous.
My Healthcare provider called with some survey questions to better serve my health. The first 3 questions: what sex do you identify as, what is your sexual preference and what sex were you assigned at birth. 😂 This is how off the mark they are in their ideas about health care.
You're spot on with this. In the UK the NHS seems very keen to have as many people over 70 as possible on statins. They offered them to my husband. He asked "why - my cholesterol isn't high" - they backed off with "oh ok then". Obviously some member of staff had been tasked with ringing around patients of a certain age without even looking at their medical history. Ridiculous!
Dr Kendrick says in his book that doctors are incentivised to get cholesterol levels lower like they are incentivised to achieve a high level of vaccinations.
@@helenporter7584 True, they are paid Assassins.
Ridiculous,and scary.
Wow. That is crazy...
Dishonesty of medical stuff will qualify as misconduct. You can report it.
Maybe our obsession with cholesterol is the problem.
Dr Dehand, you are awesome! I wish you were my doctor!
Same here
Dr Suneel, I agree with you on everything, but on a diet of whole foods and organic vegetables I have high cholesterol, high LDL, low HDL, high triglycerides, high glicemia, high uric acid and obesity. I walk a couple of miles every day but at 80 can’t do weight training due to arthritis and tendinitis. Not an easy puzzle to solve! I won’t take statins - like most medicines they make me feel terrible. Maybe I should just accept the disadvantages of old age?
Dhand
DHAND!
Though I agree with most things you say, high cholesterol has never been proven to be a problem. It's worth noting, that the only significant outcome from the thousands of studies that were trying to prove that it is, is that people with higher cholesterol live longer. After close to 70 years of fraud, the lipid hypothesis remains a hypothesis. I know how ridiculous it is that they still insist on it, but at least they are still calling it what it is a hypothesis.
Keep it up, the world needs doctors like you!
I was a med technology for over 40 years and the reference range for cholesterol was lowered from 250 to 200 back in late 70s.Its interesting to see why that was done. $$$$$
That's very interesting. I was actually wondering if the reference range had changed. Thanks for the info!
I remember that. The pharma industry manipulates numbers all the time. It's sad that people just trust everything that is told to them.
I think they're lowering the range even more
Thanks for this info. Doctors had me try two dif statins , each with a negative side effect. So I stopped. But I am under the bar by the old reference range, which makes me feel better about my decision.
Because science changes
I've noticed the more butter i eat the thinner i get 😮 honestly
See the French Diet
Me too...
Love butter, especially goat's butter.
That’s because butter is real food, with only salt as an addition. Margarine is manmade in a factory, full of crap.
try cooking with grass fed/finished Ghee.. it will blow your mind😜
In so many areas, we're too focused on fixing symptoms rather than addressing problems.
So right Doctor. I’ve dumped my statin. Keto/carnivore has already fixed my blood pressure. Aussie Bob
Because they have lowered the cholesterol ratings...
Exactly. They needed more customers.
Well it Worked with lowering blood pressure rates 🤷🏻♀️
And will keep doing it.
I'm 74 and have no cholesterol problem and am on no meds
Lucky you....obviously your body is processing things well..
@@lindamckenzie6500its not luck, its being educated on the foods and beverages we consume,im ketovoire for 10 years,eat mostly fatty meats,lost 140lbs, and still ride my harley, im 72 and work at being healthy,but do allow myself OCCASIONAL goodies( 2 or 3x a MONTH❤
My mom took. Doctor wants to put her on statins. She's gonna change her diet, she doesn't want the pills, thank goodness
Same age , same here no meds but I do have 8.6 cholesterol. Has been that for 20 years or so
Not all people got high cholesterol.
Fasting also raises cholesterol levels. Sometimes you're asked to fast before having certain blood tests done. Next thing you're told you have raised cholesterol levels and must take statins when there is no need. Thank God for doctors like Dr Dhand. Keep up the good work.
I absolutely love the termite hole analogy! It’s so true, and appreciate your philosophy on medicine in general.
My Father lived to 88 by not seeing doctors.
Exactly, they chuck pills at you for anything and it's more money for them.
That's what I'm Talking about !
Same with my grandfather passed away at 101. Never seen a dr.
Our grand partners and great grandparents lived longer. Ate off the farm. Lots of meat and eggs. I never remember eating cereal or stuff like that.
Unfortunately, most of the health industry is promoting bandaids rather than actual solutions. Thank you, Dr Dhand, for providing reason. I hope that everyone is healthy.
"High cholesterol" is not a diagnosis, it is a marker. A marker of what? It's not necessarily a marker of heart disease, that's for sure. Thank you for truth, Dr. Dhand. x
Every health problem can be corrected with simply eating the right foods. And none of those foods are down any middle aisles at the grocery stores.
So what do you think the answer is for someone who is thin, eats low carb, very low saturated fat and still has high cholesterol? I exercise 6 days a week including weights and cardio.
That's only so if the right foods have the right quality. Think of glyphosate, DDT, PFOS, forever chemicals etc. etc.
@@kerrymeadows
I knew an older woman, living on a farm, her cholesterol was much to high doctors said, but she refuses to take statines, as her parents and grand parents never took it and got very old, without heart problems, eating everything fresh from the farm, vegetables, Meat, butter Milk eggs....so this lady got very old too... to in her 90th .....explain this to a doctor, what would hé say!!??
I just had blood work and I do have high cholesterol. Thank you Dr for sharing the truth. This was an eye opener for me.
Any creamer would do it, half and half as well.
So I did. All if a sudden my cholesterol became a 300 total. 42 years ago it was 240. Nobody can explain why it grew. I am a health nut and enjoy it. I for 38 years I ditched sugar. Just 2 Tsp of honey, no smoking not drinking alcohol no coffee. I am active live alone do al house work cooking shopping etc plus asking, Daily I eat berries, pineapple and apples. Juice of carrots, cabbagy etc.
I got Covid before the pandemic and it’s mutants. No vax. Got natural 8mmunity but this man made virus is not like the natural ones. Finds your weak points. Lately I find my finger joints painful. There you are inflammation. It just dawned to me. I will start curcumin with a dash of pepper and botswella. Can’t condroitin and the other I do not tolerate anything that grows in salted water but fish and kelp. I hope that will work plus alternate hot and cold epsom salt hand baths. Please tell others may be they need it
@lana11111 Oh! I drink coffee every am with half n half ! Even fasting diet ! Can't drive when sleepy to get test done! 😂
The only doctor who actually fixes problems is an orthopedic, the rest of them are all subcontractors for the drug industry.
Don’t omit Dentist.
@@teresasimms7801 even dentists, the new thing is pushing for root canals, I went to a dentist in Florida last year, they wanted to do 3! Big money! For no reason! I had no pain! They missed the cavity in my wisdom tooth that I had to have removed late last year and paid through the nose cuz it was an out of network doctor! This year I went for a checkup and they charged extra to clean my teeth then they wanted to do a root canal! They called me after the cleaning appointment to set up a date for the root canal! I said why? The dumb girl had no idea why it needed to be done.
My cholesterol a couple of weeks ago was 247, but my glucose was 68 and my triglycerides were 75, A1C 5.3, so I think I’m doing okay. I just turned 66 last week my weight is 130. Been doing keto and ketovore almost 6 years, because of severe back and joint pain, all over and my weight was almost 180. Keto made me lose weight pretty fast and it wasn’t expected. I just did it to stop my pain. I haven’t felt this great in years.
Is that possible? When they measure cholesterol they are actually measuring a lipoprotein. LDL is a lipoprotein that carries big amounts of fats at the same time, thus it has low density (because fat has low density, that's why oil floats in water). When they measure the triglycerides, they are measuring the size of the load of that LDL. Therefore there needs to be some proportionality between your LDL levels and triglyceride levels. How could you have lots of big bags full of lipids (fats), but small amounts of said fat? Either your bags are not all that full, or they are not that many. But if they aren't all that full they couldn't be LDL. I'm confused by your results and I'm starting to wonder how exactly LDL is measured.
Lean Mass Hyper Responders have high LDL, high HDL, and very low Triglycerides
I totally know how you feel after dropping my weight from 250 down to 160, and still losing! I feel better now than I have in my entire life!!! Keep on 🎉🎉🎉😊
My grandmother had cholesterol over eight, she lived to 101.5.
I was on statins for many years had cramps in legs muscle pains and inflammation everywhere,I have stopped them recently and some of my problems have gone away. I think you are right Doctor your conversations are very interesting. So far so good.
Thank you Dr.Suneel. Your information is very valuable. I wish there were more doctors that care about their patients. May the Heavenly Father protect you.🙏❤️
If you have high cholesterol make sure you get your hormones checked.
Lack of hormones can also cause high cholesterol.
Hormones are made from cholesterol, if the body does not have enough hormones the body upregulates cholesterol.
My cholesterol went up after march 2020 when suffered mild COVID then developed long COVID .No dietary changes. 2 years later I recovered from long COVID and my cholesterol went down without any changes in life..after 6 months unfortunately I got reinfected and developed long COVID again .. and cholesterol went up again .
I recall one ER doctor at the start of the pandemic who said most people who were more affected with COVID had lower testosterone levels men and women both !
This is true and many providers won’t order the tests/labs
Stop eating veg oils, they interfere with hormone production. Eat saturated fats instead...hormones need saturated fats! Please do your own research on this. We have been lied to for decades.
@@theancientsancients1769i too have been dealing with long covid, and i also noticed an elevation in my lipids. LDL went up a bit, total cholesterol was 222, LDL 148. yet i am not concerned, my triglycerides are low at 60, with HDL at 65. elevated LDL with a good triglyceride to HDL ratio is not a concern from the research i've seen on cholesterol. our bodies will naturally produce more LDL / cholesterol when necessary.
after covid there is a lot of inflammation. so the liver may be producing more LDL to aid in repair of our vascular system after all the inflammation. additionally, LDL / lipids / cholesterol also play a critical role in our immune function, without cholesterol our immune system cannot function properly. so it also makes sense that our cholesterol would be elevated for a time when our immune system is fighting an infection.
covid not only demands a strong immune response, but also a strong repair / cleanup response after the infection to deal with damage and inflammation. our body needs the cholesterol for all of these processes in order to heal properly. if we artificially block the livers ability to produce LDL cholesterol with a statin, we block the bodies ability to effectively fight infections and heal!
Never had any problems regarding high colesterol. They started since my peri menopause!!
Other examples of dietary antioxidant sources include:
fish and nuts
vitamin E
vitamin C
turmeric
green tea
melatonin
onion
garlic
Ginger and organic Vinegar should be on top of list
Hibiscus tea also
I was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol. My doctor told me that I had a choice of either taking a medication, or dealing with it by changing my diet. I chose changing my diet. I liked that he gave me a choice.
My Dr never mentioned diet when I was diagnosed only when I told her I was doing ketogenic diet she said "well its not working for ya!!" even though my triglycerides and HDL were good~ I didnt want to take her prerscription `she bullied me into it
We always have a choice no matter what❤
You are what you eat...and drink! Thank you Dr. Saneel Dhad.
The same problem I had with my doctor. I have heat rash in summer and the cause is blocked sweat glands. She prescribed antibiotics for the heat rash that I would NOT take. Instead I sent her a stinky email saying antibiotics will NOT unblock blocked sweat glands. I knew the heat rash was not a bacterial infection. It has happened this summer and the previous 2 summers. I fixed it by using an air conditioner almost 24/7 indoors and regularly putting ice cubes on the skin area keeping it cold and Instead of exercising in hot areas I did swimming so I could exercise and not worry about over heating.
I live in the Caribbean. A few years ago I developed that same thing. My doctor told me it's a type of prickly heat and to use an equal amount of peroxide and water, I use a cotton ball to dab the solution over the affected areas. It worked wonders every time.
Amazing how much research and strategic ingredients the "patient" has to do AFTER consulting with the "professional" 🙄
The brain contains the highest level of cholesterol. Are statins a cause of Dementia & Alzheimer's disease?
Yes, it is linked.
🎯
I had heard that cholesterol than ends up in the arteries is there for a purpose: to patch holes in the arteries. The issue is not the cholesterol: the problem is the hole in the artery.
Yep, I think that makes sense. Our body knows how to help us help heal ourselves.
Don't think so
1. You don't have colesterol in the blood!
I had to strongly encourage my nurse to have the doctor order a special test that breaks it down into HDL, LDL -large buoyant and LDL - small dense. After using Nattokinase off and on for a month I received a personal letter from the doctor saying keep up the good work. All this after refusing a statin.
What did the Natto do? Lower your numbers?
@@rebeccar1036 yes and no side effects when I took it. Has to be taken with a meal either breakfast or lunch but no later.

Without even watching the video, I'mma say yes.
Hygiene alone has improved so much, even since polio. Perhaps one of the biggest blows to polio. Public swimming pools had no treatment lol, oh my!
I am 59 years old and work out for two hours everyday in the gym.
I don't eat any processed foods and eat meat and vegetables and I am probably in the best shape I've ever been in.
Do not let age be a barrier or an acceptance of being sick and unhealthy.
Should we really lower the cholesterol or blood pressure with drugs when the body is naturally doing this for a good reason? Diet has to be the key factor along with being able to relax more and then we can see how the body responds to a better environment.
Thank you, Dr. Always appreciate and respect your thoughts and insights.
Taking your advice on swapping out what I thought were healthy oils to traceable olive oil (I found one at a local Persian store and it's affordable) significantly reduced the awful inflammation feeling I used to have. Be careful of brand loyalty, even whole foods we used to rely on have changed. In Cda, cheaper pesticide imported grains used in manuf foods and shelf flour, to prop up a foreign economy as in US, Merci aux agriculteurs de France et de Pologne. I went off statins 2023 after 3 yrs and feel a lot better, won't be going back, felt like an elephant was sitting on me. ❤Dr. Dhand, you're doing a great service.
Covering up the real problem by beautiful picture is very interesting and informative. Thanks Dr you are our leading god
My doctor told me I have stage 3 kidney failure. When I asked what can we do, she said she is just watching it! No treatment, no finding out what caused it, just watch it get worse! But we have to prescribe something for my high cholesterol, that has precautions for patients with kidney disease or liver disease, which I have both. How I wish you were my doctor!

My husband was told he had high cholesterol. He decided to eat a handful of walnuts everyday and eat less foods containing sugar and butter. After 3 months he got retested and his cholesterol was back in the normal range. There are studies that show walnuts do help.
Not addressing the root cause of disease is the problem with our medical system, but "high" cholesterol is not a disease. It's normal for some. "High" cholesterol doesn't cause atherosclerosis or heart disease. Something, not cholesterol, damages the arteries...like high sugar levels, high insulin levels, particles from smoking, etc., and the body performs a patching/repair mechanism which uses cholesterol. Its present in atherosclerosis, but not the cause. Various causes of arterial damage are the upstream cause.
Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
STOP EATING WHEAT and see what happens.
I did, and my inflamation went away. [After 20 yesars of suffering.]
Doesn't agree with me! Felt way better! I believe it's the roundup they use and the spray to separate grain from straw ! Never mind the GMO !
I wish I'd known about the negative effects of statins when my mom was put on one. She might have been able to enjoy more of her golden years. I have steadfastly refused to take a statin I see nothing to indicate they are having much if any effect on heart disease. If they work why are so many people having a problem that has supposedly "been fixed"?
I stopped the statin bs 3 years ago, but the Rx kept coming.
I just found out today that in all of the statin research, trials and studies , not one single women was used in any of the trials or studies. They were never tested on women, they don’t know if they work for women or even if they are safe for women. All of the trials and research were done on men. But yet, they are prescribed for women regularly. Something very wrong with this system.
The only honest and brave doctor on YT.
You are so right! I was eating too many sweets and had a cholesterol test. That was a huge wake up call. I said No to the statins. Then I changed my diet and next test dropped almost 100 points in total cholesterol. Just cutting out the sweets and reducing cheese in my diet and increasing veggies made a huge difference . Thank you for these informative videos.

Food has non or very little to do with your lipid levels, and you messure lipid particles not colesterol! It seems that people don't get this through their tick heads. You can have a total lipid count of 400 mg/dl and have far more healthy arteries then a person with 150 mg/dl.
The fact it's being treated at all is the problem. There is no link between high cholesterol and poor health - but low cholesterol IS dangerous, to the brain and to almost every cell in your body.
I see youre still based dr suneel. Very happy.
It's getting hard to find real food . 😢
10 years ago I took 20 mg Lipitor for six months. Stopped after experiencing pain and weakness in my legs. Have never regained that strength and still experience pain no matter how much I exercise. Statins should be outlawed.
I have slightly high cholesterol. One of my doctors wanted to put me on statins. My dad took them, but they didn’t save him from a heart attack and probably gave him diabetes. I said no thanks!
I love the idea of 'look upstream' for what is causing health issues.
Hello Dr. Dhand! Thanks so much. I follow & have learned so much! When first had BP high, because of kidney issues Lipitor was prescribed. I did not take. No meds! My bp is fine. Today 122/74 I'm exercising, eating right. My last blood work showed GFR 92! thanks for all you share, lifestyle makes all the difference!❤ God Bless You!
My husband had heart attack last year and. A stent put in. He's 74 it's genetic in both sides of his family, they put him on statins amongst other meds, which he had stopped taking. A pharmacist rang us and wanted to put him back on it I asked her where does the cholesterol come from she said the liver I told her we eat healthy no junk takeaways I cook and always have meat and vegetables, I asked her if it comes from the the liver what do we do about it she said 'your already doing it's I rest my case. They want you on these poisons
You don’t need excess cholesterol from your liver. Every cell in your body can make its own cholesterol. Heart disease itself takes 30-40yrs develop.
Agree with everything except that high LDL is a problem. I fixed my diet, lost weight, started weight training, built up muscle: all my health markers improved, but my LDL skyrocketed. I am 70. I understand that for older people high LDL is associated with better health and longer life.
Thank you!! Love your channel and your open truthful discussions about disease, illnesses and the medications, that may not be helpful or needed.
Thanks for the priceless info Doc.. Praying my Dad will be open to this info. He's been on statins for a long time and his mind is going more and more. 😔
Great video thanks Dr Suneel
Bottom line.. treat the root cause. Thx Doc!
My friend it is refreshing to hear a medical professional focus on the cause rather than the symptoms. Patients need doctors like you to help with our health.
My cholesterol was slightly raised, but by cutting out anything containing coconut oil has brought it back down to what it should be.
I exercise and am vegan.
Thank you for all of your very honest advice
Exactly my reasoning. If I have been diagnosed with something I want the cause treated not the symptoms.
In the last couple of years I have refused high blood pressure meds and high cholesterol meds. I had very bad side effects from metformin so I try to look after myself now. At 73 I would rather live the rest of my life happy and enjoying life rather than live with horrendous side effects.
Healthy people have high cholesterol. LMHRs the healthiest people in the population in most cases, lean fit muscular build, perfect blood sugar, no visceral fat, no metabolic syndrome etc but high LDL.
Makes a lot of sense. Need to send this info to all Doctors.
You are depriving the pharmaceutical companies of a financial windfall!! My cholesterol is a little high and when it was suggested that I take a medication I said "not over my dead body". I started walking daily and try to get 10,000 steps in. I have a hill behind my house to go over twice and I just realized that I'm no longer "sucking air" as I go up the hills so at least that is paying off! Thank you for all your wise advice and keep up the good work! I enjoy your videos!!
Thanks, Dr, Dhand!
Yes, statins are carelessly prescribed.. I was given some few years ago, because I was "getting on" in age. Needless to say that the consequences were not pleasant. I don't have colestrol issues, never had. But I believe the food industry needs serious intervention. Both the food growing and the processing. The amount of chemicals poured in at both ends in out of control. Still, it is about the money these industries make...
Great info! Thank you! Love ur videos
Thank you for all you do!
Brilliant Suneel thank you!
Agree completely with you, great information.
Thank you so much! This gives me some information to share with my doctor next week.
Great work Dr Dhand👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Having had a stomach disorder since I was 3, I was eventually diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. I now have an Ileostomy and my kidney and liver function aren't the best. Unfortunately I have become sensitive to most fruit and vegetables but I eat any I can and cook from scratch every day so that I know what is in my meals. I recently received a text message from the NHS saying looking at my history I would benefit from taking statins, did I want them yes or no! As I haven't seen a medical professional for a year I asked to speak to someone. I am now 68 I lost 60 pounds 5 years ago and I exercise for about an hour every day doing a combination of walking outside, kettlebell, hand weights, step exercises, Pilates, Qigong and cardio indoors. The person I spoke to was very dismissive about my efforts but couldn't say anything to convince me that statins would be of any real benefit to me. I would rather make lifestyle changes than take any medication.
I’m so glad you’re proactive and have a sound mind.
@@nancythornburg7538 Thank you
I know a few people who have been on statins for a long time because of heart issues , they still had heart issues years later with blocked arteries and needed more stents.😮😮 HELLO😢
Thanks, Dr.Dhand from OZ.👍🏼🙏🏻
God bless you! Please keep educating through these videos. I’m a biochemist going for my masters in nutritional science…love all this info!
If statins lower cholesterol would that not lower the cholesterol in the brain and cause Alzheimer's
No, the brain makes its own cholestrol, independently.
