One thing has always puzzled me. Malhoutra was known widely as Mr anti-statin. In this regard, one would expect him to be sceptical of the covid vaccines - shouldn't he have recognised the cognitive warfare and medical manipulation? He didn't have his 'a-ha' moment until his own father died apparently?
It has been very weird seeing so many doctors who are awake on some issues fall to the covid scam.
What's more weird is people still not connecting all the dots. My friend is a great example as it happens. Totally awake with respect to the COVID jab but last week asked if she should have the flu jab! It takes time. There are decades of brainwashing that have to be undone here.
Compartmentalised thinking seems to be a protective mechanism. At one point it may have been advantageous but when the cognitive warfare is total we cannot think like that anymore. The future likely rests with those who can think laterally.
Case in point: I know a molecular biologist of academic esteem who wore an ill-fitting mask outdoors in the searing Australian summer.
One would imagine a molecular biologist would understand the size of small objects...
As others already mentioned, excellent summary, Joel. (AMD is a treasure!)
On the point of "connecting the dots" I have a pet theory. It always struck me that people tended to connect the dots in the wrong direction. Consider, in the case of the great covid dumpster fire, once one suspected the mRNA vaccines might not be the panacea they were marketed to be, he could begin to doubt previous vaccine marketing as the same type of scam. Or. Or. He could retreat to thinking, "I KNOW previous vaccines, like the polio vaccine or the MMRV saved civilization. Ergo, given that the same apparatus produced those wonder treatments, how can I now accuse that apparatus of being FOS?"
Either you realize that the "new truth" invalidates your previous positions, or you conclude that the "new truth" cannot be actually true. The latter is way easier, on both your mind and your ego. And here we are...
Hello there! I am ok thank you, I think I can truthfully say I am slowly getting my energy back.
I hope you are ok down under. It concerns me how stressful things have been for you.
I still have Albanese in mind but he does not inspire a post so much as requires hard work. He seems rather dull which probably makes him the more dangerous!
Nail on the head Joel. It is a lot easier to believe you have been deceived or conned about one thing but if you accept that you have been deceived about virtually everything it is, in my daughter's words, a 'life shattering realisation' so not many are ready to venture down that path.
Personally, I found it easier! Given my love of Ockham's razor, being able to reduce it to "everything is poison" makes my decision-making simpler - I'm not taking any of it!

I was prescribed a statin 5 years ago. I read one line in the literature and said no. The man I had been married to came down on me very hard. (complicated)
My body has always said no to any drug ever. Either before trying one or after briefly trying one.
I am outside the system now and have also simplified the question. As you said "everything is poison".
Um, no. A lot of good supplements come in pill and capsule form. It is the contents, not the shape that matter.
Who has the time, or resources to get the best foods will all of the needed molecules? Dietary supplements make it possible. Vitamin D at 40 ng/ml is essential. In modern society it is the one most likely to be deficient.

Flu shots don't do much at preventing a flu, that's even well documented in scientific literature.
I was amazed a few months ago when I watched an old episode of a game show on youtube where contestants where asked 'how much does the flu shot protect you from the flu'. Peoples responses were 80-90%.
An aside: I caught a cold last year around Easter. I had been home alone for a few days and wondered how the heck I could get a cold with no exposure to anyone. Then it hit me: I hadn't been sleeping well nor was I eating my usual health diet for about 2 weeks prior. We all have all kinds of stuff inside of us but it only is a problem when we let our guard down.
Amusingly we have been told for decades to wash our hands etc etc... to prevent catching cold...
Obviously this is just as ridiculous as wearing a mask...
Viruses are everywhere... the way to reduce the chances of catching colds is to strengthen the immune system... quality food ... vitamin supplements... exercise.
But most people will recoil and reach for some KFC rather than do any of this
Flu shots like all vaccines will cause disease to greater or lesser extent.
My wife only told me the other day that when she was first employed at a small private school in 1989 she had a 'flu shot. She promptly fell ill for three days. She has not had another. She felt she was doing the right thing at the time for her students.
That term of 150 boys 80 went down with what was called the 'flu and were sent home (it was a full boarding school then).
My wife had the shot at the school and so presumably the boys were vaxxed too, those that were ill. Parents would have been asked for permission of course.
Whether records exist of what went on remain I don't know but logic insists that poisons in via vaxxes means sickness.
I just today read an article on how the current resistance to cannabis' therapeutic benefits has similarities to the witch hunts of old and the war on drugs. As I was reading it, I couldn't help but think you could replace the church and the villagers with pitch forks with modern pharmaceutical companies - many of the same methods employed against 'witches' and anyone engaging in natural or holistic behaviours during the dark ages are still being used today in a modern day witch hunt against anyone who bucks the mainstream worship of pharma.
Neural detoxification, synapse cleansing, can take a very long time or "happen overnight"- to say nothing of an unwillingness to look very hard and long in the mirror; meanwhile how does one deal with the Catch 22 dilemma of where to go for help with a - new - health issue arising - back to the Well of Ineptitude and Easy Money who originally sundered your health by slavish following of diktat? (Rhet...)
and then there are those who knew and still did nothing, guess neonatologists get paid very well to carry out an order of force separation for 10 days for a PCR + test and no maternal symptoms
I think it is the "herd" mentality and "do what we are told" until... Doctors bought what they were told, and did not use enough skepticism and did not ask enough questions... and those that did got shut down, had websites shut down, and it is still happening now. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny license in Maine has been under fire, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Mercola - all spoke out. It's hard to blame the docs. The ah-ha and stepping up is what we need more docs to do.
The problem is that if they do admit that pharmaceuticals are p-harmful in general their whole life and raison d'etre as doctors will fall apart. They will also lose all status and related income.
with electronic medical records and no trust in HIPAA to keep my personal info private, and with employer mandates and de facto vaccine passports (i.e., no proof of vaxx, no admittance to entertainment venues or restaurants), and with threats of refusing to give medical care or charging more for insurance to people who are "noncompliant," and also with spending time researching and learning about such things as fluoride harms, over the past decade I have developed a distrust in our medical system and honestly don't want to have my private medical information shared with anyone -- not an employer, certainly -- not anyone who has the power to take away my freedom based on the informed choices I wish to make for myself for my own physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. None of their business!
And, I hate this so much, because no -- I am NOT a doctor - -but I hate it so much that I have realized I know more than many "experts." (and I know how to research and understand many, many things.) Of course there are also many "good" doctors who will buck the system and provide individualized care to their patients' benefit.
I am fully aware that I have zero credentials, but surely I should have authority over my own body. The misguided and insistent coercion by authorities is beyond appalling.
I have biomedical “credentials”, but don’t put much stock in mine or anyone else’s. My true education happened after I graduated university and started doing my own research. The things I’ve learned (and experienced) contradict most of the dogma and propaganda I was exposed to in school. There are more than a few Ph.D.’s and M.S.’s among my friends and acquaintances - almost without exception they are the most ignorant people I know. I have seen many highly intelligent people with advanced degrees be completely bamboozled by the propaganda and psyops. And they still haven’t woken up. Conversely, I have seen many highly intelligent people with no background whatsoever in science or medicine know intuitively when things are wrong, and educate themselves to a degree that puts the so-called experts to shame.
I always say what’s currently anecdotal will eventually be proven true. At one time it was akin to insanity to suggest there was such a thing as microorganisms or that physicians should wash their hands between patients. Ignaz Semmelweis was mainly ridiculed even though he proved that handwashing virtually eliminated puerperal fever in post-partum patients. It took decades for it to be adopted as common practice in medicine. What will future generations look back on as barbaric that we currently practice (or don’t practice)? I am all about empiricism. Most scientific/clinical research is invalid since it is agenda-driven.
Big pharma runs conventional medicine, which is why I see a functional medicine practitioner (who is also an MD). I reject pharmaceuticals and am certain everything we need for healing and good health can be found in nature. If we take appropriate steps to restore and maintain proper immune system function, there is not a single threat it cannot defeat, including cancer. (Improper function also creates illness, with chronic inflammation driving most disorders.) The human body has innate healing processes, if we would simply provide adequate support via diet modification, stress reduction, appropriate supplements, physical activity, reduced exposure to toxins, and adequate sleep.
As for coercion, because I work in medicine I was subject to a “vaccine” mandate. So, I uprooted my life and moved 1,000+ miles from my home, family and friends to continue practicing in my field without surrendering my bodily autonomy or God-given rights. It hasn’t been easy. I try to be thankful that I have a job at all, but I make far less money while working more hours, have less paid time off, fewer benefits, and I am SO angry over the many injustices. I am, however, happy to have found a community of like-minded people. Keep doing what you know is right!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned elsewhere that I’m in FL after leaving NYS. No doubt TPTB know who I am despite my attempts to remain anonymous, but I still need to keep my current employment!
Anyway, FL seems to be the best thing going right now, though I had no guarantees when figuring out where to relocate on short notice 2 years ago. There’s a lot of debate about DeSantis - is he uniparty, is this all a ruse? The only thing I know for certain is what he’s done to preserve liberty in this state and it’s substantial, including making CBDC’s illegal. I admit I’ve had some anxiety over supposed “proof” about him not being what he appears to be, but I’ve decided to apply the Biblical standard: you will know them by their fruit. So far, the fruit he’s producing preserves Constitutional rights and individual liberty.
Still no guarantees, but I believe I am meant to be here, and scores of people seem to feel the same way since they are literally flooding into the state. I see more patriotic displays here on cars and homes than ever before in my life. The grassroots efforts to ban “covid vaccines” as biological weapons is making tremendous headway. My primary “like-minded” community is online, but the mindset of so many people I meet here is WAY different than in NY. I’m happy to be here and the weather is lovely! (I live in a low-storm part of the state.)
My own experience with resisting the pressure to take a statin primed me and my family to avoid the injection. But it was a close one. If it wasn't for hearing Steve Kirsch's raw expression of outrage on the May 2020 Darkhorse podcast I fear I would have wavered.
And like peeling an onion, I find that sugar in and of itself is not the culprit for heart disease. It is poor energy metabolism. Yes processed sugary foods are bad but the polyunsaturated fatty acids PUFAs are worse. Eating keto can be helpful but doesn't solve the problems. This comes from the Ray Peat principles. Dr. Mercola recently discovered this. Check out Jay Feldman's web page and his "Energy Metabolism" podcast.
I am grateful to people like Malcolm Kendrick, Robert Lustig and Gary Taubes for countering the pharma and food industry narratives. But there's more to learn about optimal mitochondrial function.
I wonder if Kendrick has recovered from his cancer.... sadly he caved to the mandates and took the Rat Juice and was not long after stricken with this disease.

I have always had high cholesterol (runs in my family...and lots live to their 90's)...but I watch what I eat in terms of processed food (although I cannot give up french fries...bread is a downfall for me, and I make my own ice cream)...But I try and eat only protein up unti 5 pm...and then a small amt of carbs at dinner (the aforementioned fries or bread with ice cream for dessert, sigh) ...and my ratio has always been good, so I can't worry about it.
There are worse ways to go than to die peacefully in your own bed...which is all any of us can hope for ultmately.
The Big Fat Lie is well worth reading if you have any doubts about cholesterol NOT being the baddie!
In the last couple of years, I have changed my diet radically. It's dishonest to preach about the harms of Big Pharma and Big Food without actually practicing the solution. My daily regime is now full of essential vitamins and minerals that are no longer so abundant in food but I also only eat organic meat, veg and fruit from my local farm shop. Basically, nowadays, if it comes in a packet, it's not going in my body! I also do 20/4 intermittent fasting and get to somewhere sunny as often as I can! Never looked or felt so healthy!!
Fermented food and anything that helps replace bifida bacteria in the gut is helpful too . Sunshine and infared saunas also . Power is in the mitochondria.
I always liked "How to Cook a Wolf" by the inimitable mfk Fisher..my copy was a reprint way too small for my aged eyes...gotta go find an old one on ebay or something.
My husband can’t give up French fries, so I make them, cut up russet potatoes, coat them in a small amount of olive oil, and cook them in an air fryer.
I was just gifted with an oil fryer for one. I am now indulging in a riot of chicken wings and French fries....I am using peanut oil however....olive oil can't survive the high temp...but hand cut russet fries (using as much tallow as i can make) are wonderful. Now I gotta make Mayonnaise for them...and I think I found the perfect olive oil !
I was unaware of the effects of statins on brain function. Thank you for this clear exposition. I'm relieved to have avoided these things, if only by accident!
I've come to believe that we have an epidemic of convenience. All the technology that we surround ourselves with is justified on the basis that it 'makes life easier'. Phones, transport, entertainment, drugs - this example of statins shows just how seductive and dangerous this can be.
My wife has early onset Alzheimer's and is now at the end of the final stage 7. When she first became ill she still was taking care of her medications. At that time I was totally naive about doctors, medicines, and big pharma.
The medications did not help, she declined rapidly. When she quit managing her medications I did not notice for a while and then noted that they had not helped. I finally decided to clean up this stuff and looked up what they were prescribing. One was a statin, starving her brain of cholesterol, the other was a SSRI antidepressant, directly damaging her brain. One doctor recommended vitamin E., the only useful pill for her. I got rid of her pills at a kiosk for tossing old medications.
At the end she has damaged her skin by scratching and has a horrid staff infection. I just started her on ivermectin and fenbendazole. Ironically fenbendazole is a treatment for fungi, a possible cause for Alzheimer's when it infects the brain. She probably should go to a hospital but why would I trust any doctor. They are inhumane killers, jabbed little kids with Covid mRNA poison and killed and maimed so many kids with childhood vaccines, that more than 1 in 36 now suffers from autism. 50% of SIDS deaths occur within 48 hours of a jab, 70% within a week. MD's have been covering this up for decades. The first letter is upside down. They are witch-doctors.

7 years ago I had to have blood test done for a work/employment visa. One of the tests was for inflammation - my score was 0.1 - and the doctor explained that this was very, very good and whatever killed me in the next 5 years it would not be a heart attack.
Must be all the bad fats I eat - butter, gold top milk, chicken skin, pork rinds, lard, dripping, belly pork, ribeye steaks etc.
One other statement he made, he said "not everyone with high inflammation will have a heart attack but everyone who has a heart attack has high inflammation.
Two of the worst things for causing high in inflammation? Vegetable oils and low cholesterol/low fat foods.
It’s so infuriating & depressing, how long & in how very many ways the medico-industrial complex & Big Pharma (amongst other global “complexes”) have been damaging & killing people. I hate to even believe there is any “silver lining” to the past 3+ years except that there is: the covers have fallen from many eyes & truth will out. Now we know.
Mr. Smalley - By completely preventing the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, statin medications decrease and disrupt: cholesterol production in the liver, CoQ10 production, leading to impared lipid modification, protein and actin formation, Said inhibition is the equivalent of running an auto engine on 1 quart of oil. ALL bodily components will suffer DAMAGE and cannot be maintained or rebuilt. Every single beneficial health claim made for statins, is contrary in spades and more. Covid, cancer and "high" cholesterol are not diseases, just a business.
Plain and simple: Statins cause the human brain to SERIOUSLY malfunction. And they do NOTHING to prevent ANY health conditions, least of all heart disease.
There's more out there, but all the 95% pharma-funded journals will only publish data which implicates statins as "rarely" causing these problems, and just like the vaccine pitch, they continue claiming the damage is "worth the risks."
For my mother it wasn't "rare" it was 100% destructive. Within weeks of starting statins she started falling down, (balance was SHOT) forgetting things, and becoming irrational. Within 2 weeks of stopping the statins, her memory and balance returned. She went on to live a physically-active (with full cognitive function) life until just a couple of days before her death, just before her 94th birthday.
It just looked to me like a better way to go than to first spend YEARS in a cage (old folks place) wearing diapers and/or having an orderly bashing you over the head with your bedpan out of frustration with your insanity and incapacitation. My mom went out PROPERLY because we stopped the statins once we saw what they were doing to her. She lived in her own home independently all the way to the last couple of days of her life. Oh, and she died peacefully IN HER HOME with loving family near her. SAWEET!! ;-)

Neural detoxification, synapse cleansing, can take a very long time or "happen overnight"- to say nothing of an unwillingness to look very hard and long in the mirror; meanwhile how does one deal with the Catch 22 dilemma of where to go for help with a - new - health issue arising - back to the Well of Ineptitude and Easy Money who originally sundered your health by slavish following of diktat? (Rhet...)
Weird is the word. They need to be rewired which happens to be the single one word anagram of 'weirder'.
But nevertheless I do not understand why they should think one vaccine is better than another. They are all a fraud.
and then there are those who knew and still did nothing, guess neonatologists get paid very well to carry out an order of force separation for 10 days for a PCR + test and no maternal symptoms
Malhotra still praises all other vaccines as medical miracles. Either dumb and brainwashed or controlled op. Take your pick.
I would also go with Mi6.
If you have not seen Abi Roberts' opinion on Malhoutra I guarantee you will love it: https://abiroberts.substack.com/p/malhotra-v-leather-girl
I think it is the "herd" mentality and "do what we are told" until... Doctors bought what they were told, and did not use enough skepticism and did not ask enough questions... and those that did got shut down, had websites shut down, and it is still happening now. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny license in Maine has been under fire, Dr. McCullough, Dr. Mercola - all spoke out. It's hard to blame the docs. The ah-ha and stepping up is what we need more docs to do.
The problem is that if they do admit that pharmaceuticals are p-harmful in general their whole life and raison d'etre as doctors will fall apart. They will also lose all status and related income.
with electronic medical records and no trust in HIPAA to keep my personal info private, and with employer mandates and de facto vaccine passports (i.e., no proof of vaxx, no admittance to entertainment venues or restaurants), and with threats of refusing to give medical care or charging more for insurance to people who are "noncompliant," and also with spending time researching and learning about such things as fluoride harms, over the past decade I have developed a distrust in our medical system and honestly don't want to have my private medical information shared with anyone -- not an employer, certainly -- not anyone who has the power to take away my freedom based on the informed choices I wish to make for myself for my own physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. None of their business!
And, I hate this so much, because no -- I am NOT a doctor - -but I hate it so much that I have realized I know more than many "experts." (and I know how to research and understand many, many things.) Of course there are also many "good" doctors who will buck the system and provide individualized care to their patients' benefit.
I am fully aware that I have zero credentials, but surely I should have authority over my own body. The misguided and insistent coercion by authorities is beyond appalling.
No-one knows your body better than you, no matter how many years they have studied or practiced on others. And nothing we do is better than Nature.
Yes. And I don't want them "practicing" on me.
:-)
DANI! The same thing happened to me! The awakening I’ve had is amazing at 60 years old. You sound like me.
I have biomedical “credentials”, but don’t put much stock in mine or anyone else’s. My true education happened after I graduated university and started doing my own research. The things I’ve learned (and experienced) contradict most of the dogma and propaganda I was exposed to in school. There are more than a few Ph.D.’s and M.S.’s among my friends and acquaintances - almost without exception they are the most ignorant people I know. I have seen many highly intelligent people with advanced degrees be completely bamboozled by the propaganda and psyops. And they still haven’t woken up. Conversely, I have seen many highly intelligent people with no background whatsoever in science or medicine know intuitively when things are wrong, and educate themselves to a degree that puts the so-called experts to shame.
I always say what’s currently anecdotal will eventually be proven true. At one time it was akin to insanity to suggest there was such a thing as microorganisms or that physicians should wash their hands between patients. Ignaz Semmelweis was mainly ridiculed even though he proved that handwashing virtually eliminated puerperal fever in post-partum patients. It took decades for it to be adopted as common practice in medicine. What will future generations look back on as barbaric that we currently practice (or don’t practice)? I am all about empiricism. Most scientific/clinical research is invalid since it is agenda-driven.
Big pharma runs conventional medicine, which is why I see a functional medicine practitioner (who is also an MD). I reject pharmaceuticals and am certain everything we need for healing and good health can be found in nature. If we take appropriate steps to restore and maintain proper immune system function, there is not a single threat it cannot defeat, including cancer. (Improper function also creates illness, with chronic inflammation driving most disorders.) The human body has innate healing processes, if we would simply provide adequate support via diet modification, stress reduction, appropriate supplements, physical activity, reduced exposure to toxins, and adequate sleep.
As for coercion, because I work in medicine I was subject to a “vaccine” mandate. So, I uprooted my life and moved 1,000+ miles from my home, family and friends to continue practicing in my field without surrendering my bodily autonomy or God-given rights. It hasn’t been easy. I try to be thankful that I have a job at all, but I make far less money while working more hours, have less paid time off, fewer benefits, and I am SO angry over the many injustices. I am, however, happy to have found a community of like-minded people. Keep doing what you know is right!
You don't have to give away your location, but do you have any general suggestions for "like-minded" communities a person might relocate to?
I’m sure I’ve mentioned elsewhere that I’m in FL after leaving NYS. No doubt TPTB know who I am despite my attempts to remain anonymous, but I still need to keep my current employment!
Anyway, FL seems to be the best thing going right now, though I had no guarantees when figuring out where to relocate on short notice 2 years ago. There’s a lot of debate about DeSantis - is he uniparty, is this all a ruse? The only thing I know for certain is what he’s done to preserve liberty in this state and it’s substantial, including making CBDC’s illegal. I admit I’ve had some anxiety over supposed “proof” about him not being what he appears to be, but I’ve decided to apply the Biblical standard: you will know them by their fruit. So far, the fruit he’s producing preserves Constitutional rights and individual liberty.
Still no guarantees, but I believe I am meant to be here, and scores of people seem to feel the same way since they are literally flooding into the state. I see more patriotic displays here on cars and homes than ever before in my life. The grassroots efforts to ban “covid vaccines” as biological weapons is making tremendous headway. My primary “like-minded” community is online, but the mindset of so many people I meet here is WAY different than in NY. I’m happy to be here and the weather is lovely! (I live in a low-storm part of the state.)
My own experience with resisting the pressure to take a statin primed me and my family to avoid the injection. But it was a close one. If it wasn't for hearing Steve Kirsch's raw expression of outrage on the May 2020 Darkhorse podcast I fear I would have wavered.
And like peeling an onion, I find that sugar in and of itself is not the culprit for heart disease. It is poor energy metabolism. Yes processed sugary foods are bad but the polyunsaturated fatty acids PUFAs are worse. Eating keto can be helpful but doesn't solve the problems. This comes from the Ray Peat principles. Dr. Mercola recently discovered this. Check out Jay Feldman's web page and his "Energy Metabolism" podcast.
I am grateful to people like Malcolm Kendrick, Robert Lustig and Gary Taubes for countering the pharma and food industry narratives. But there's more to learn about optimal mitochondrial function.
Thank you for your insights, Jim.
I too am grateful to Malcolm Kendrick!

I wonder if Kendrick has recovered from his cancer.... sadly he caved to the mandates and took the Rat Juice and was not long after stricken with this disease.
I did not know this. He is definitely at the top of the GP / MD I'd most want to hang out with. Such an affable demeanor. I hope he is managing o.k.
I lot of us are indebted to the Darkhorse podcast you mention.
I have always had high cholesterol (runs in my family...and lots live to their 90's)...but I watch what I eat in terms of processed food (although I cannot give up french fries...bread is a downfall for me, and I make my own ice cream)...But I try and eat only protein up unti 5 pm...and then a small amt of carbs at dinner (the aforementioned fries or bread with ice cream for dessert, sigh) ...and my ratio has always been good, so I can't worry about it.
There are worse ways to go than to die peacefully in your own bed...which is all any of us can hope for ultmately.
The Big Fat Lie is well worth reading if you have any doubts about cholesterol NOT being the baddie!
In the last couple of years, I have changed my diet radically. It's dishonest to preach about the harms of Big Pharma and Big Food without actually practicing the solution. My daily regime is now full of essential vitamins and minerals that are no longer so abundant in food but I also only eat organic meat, veg and fruit from my local farm shop. Basically, nowadays, if it comes in a packet, it's not going in my body! I also do 20/4 intermittent fasting and get to somewhere sunny as often as I can! Never looked or felt so healthy!!
Fermented food and anything that helps replace bifida bacteria in the gut is helpful too . Sunshine and infared saunas also . Power is in the mitochondria.
I recommend any book about food and recipes published bring/from WWII....?
I always liked "How to Cook a Wolf" by the inimitable mfk Fisher..my copy was a reprint way too small for my aged eyes...gotta go find an old one on ebay or something.
My husband can’t give up French fries, so I make them, cut up russet potatoes, coat them in a small amount of olive oil, and cook them in an air fryer.
I was just gifted with an oil fryer for one. I am now indulging in a riot of chicken wings and French fries....I am using peanut oil however....olive oil can't survive the high temp...but hand cut russet fries (using as much tallow as i can make) are wonderful. Now I gotta make Mayonnaise for them...and I think I found the perfect olive oil !
Ideally organic potatoes... the industrially farmed stuff is sprayed with incredibly toxic chems....
The organic food where I live is pathetic. So I buy from the grocery store and always peel the heck out of the potatoes.
Very interesting background to the dementia increase. Will definitely use it in health discussions with those in retirement villages.
I was unaware of the effects of statins on brain function. Thank you for this clear exposition. I'm relieved to have avoided these things, if only by accident!
I've come to believe that we have an epidemic of convenience. All the technology that we surround ourselves with is justified on the basis that it 'makes life easier'. Phones, transport, entertainment, drugs - this example of statins shows just how seductive and dangerous this can be.
Can we step back from the convenience brink?
It certainly looks like many people are now doing that.
20 yrs ago a friend who was in charge of statin sales for a big pharma company in Canada advised me that I should get on this miracle drug...
I informed him that I had no health issues -- did not have high cholesterol -- a good diet -- and exercised regularly...
Doesn't matter he said - the lower the cholesterol the better (I suppose 0 would be the goal!!!)
He was on them himself -- he was so fat that he was one of those people that everyone looked at as he walked past in a restaurant .... morbidly obese.
Have now sent this substack to a few friends and family. Will see if the light bulb switches on after they have read this.
I hope it helps. I figured if it was useful for my friend, it might be useful for others too.
My wife has early onset Alzheimer's and is now at the end of the final stage 7. When she first became ill she still was taking care of her medications. At that time I was totally naive about doctors, medicines, and big pharma.
The medications did not help, she declined rapidly. When she quit managing her medications I did not notice for a while and then noted that they had not helped. I finally decided to clean up this stuff and looked up what they were prescribing. One was a statin, starving her brain of cholesterol, the other was a SSRI antidepressant, directly damaging her brain. One doctor recommended vitamin E., the only useful pill for her. I got rid of her pills at a kiosk for tossing old medications.
At the end she has damaged her skin by scratching and has a horrid staff infection. I just started her on ivermectin and fenbendazole. Ironically fenbendazole is a treatment for fungi, a possible cause for Alzheimer's when it infects the brain. She probably should go to a hospital but why would I trust any doctor. They are inhumane killers, jabbed little kids with Covid mRNA poison and killed and maimed so many kids with childhood vaccines, that more than 1 in 36 now suffers from autism. 50% of SIDS deaths occur within 48 hours of a jab, 70% within a week. MD's have been covering this up for decades. The first letter is upside down. They are witch-doctors.
Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease. Thus, stains are useless. So are all mRNA injections. What's to learn?
7 years ago I had to have blood test done for a work/employment visa. One of the tests was for inflammation - my score was 0.1 - and the doctor explained that this was very, very good and whatever killed me in the next 5 years it would not be a heart attack.
Must be all the bad fats I eat - butter, gold top milk, chicken skin, pork rinds, lard, dripping, belly pork, ribeye steaks etc.
One other statement he made, he said "not everyone with high inflammation will have a heart attack but everyone who has a heart attack has high inflammation.
Two of the worst things for causing high in inflammation? Vegetable oils and low cholesterol/low fat foods.
Most doctors nowadays seem to be more apothocary than physician.
more Pharma salesrep than physician
They are experts in using google to search for ministry of health recommended treatments for diseases
Apotho-scary! "Trust me, I'm a doctor." "Arrrrrrrrrgh....." patient runs screaming from the room.
If you haven’t seen it, Statin Nation is a must watch on this subject.

It’s so infuriating & depressing, how long & in how very many ways the medico-industrial complex & Big Pharma (amongst other global “complexes”) have been damaging & killing people. I hate to even believe there is any “silver lining” to the past 3+ years except that there is: the covers have fallen from many eyes & truth will out. Now we know.
Everyone has the power to say NO.
No to their Doctors too !
Doctors can be reprimanded and/or fired for not following protocol mandated by the medical establishment.
I verified this fact with my own Doctor, which had experience with a fellow doctor who didn't tow the line.
Mr. Smalley - By completely preventing the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, statin medications decrease and disrupt: cholesterol production in the liver, CoQ10 production, leading to impared lipid modification, protein and actin formation, Said inhibition is the equivalent of running an auto engine on 1 quart of oil. ALL bodily components will suffer DAMAGE and cannot be maintained or rebuilt. Every single beneficial health claim made for statins, is contrary in spades and more. Covid, cancer and "high" cholesterol are not diseases, just a business.
Yes.
Plain and simple: Statins cause the human brain to SERIOUSLY malfunction. And they do NOTHING to prevent ANY health conditions, least of all heart disease.
I'd like to see if there is a correlation between statin use and Alzheimer's
Here's a pretty logical write up from Weston Price. https://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/modern-diseases/dangers-of-statin-drugs-what-you-havent-been-told-about-popular-cholesterol-lowering-medicines/#gsc.tab=0
There's more out there, but all the 95% pharma-funded journals will only publish data which implicates statins as "rarely" causing these problems, and just like the vaccine pitch, they continue claiming the damage is "worth the risks."
For my mother it wasn't "rare" it was 100% destructive. Within weeks of starting statins she started falling down, (balance was SHOT) forgetting things, and becoming irrational. Within 2 weeks of stopping the statins, her memory and balance returned. She went on to live a physically-active (with full cognitive function) life until just a couple of days before her death, just before her 94th birthday.
It just looked to me like a better way to go than to first spend YEARS in a cage (old folks place) wearing diapers and/or having an orderly bashing you over the head with your bedpan out of frustration with your insanity and incapacitation. My mom went out PROPERLY because we stopped the statins once we saw what they were doing to her. She lived in her own home independently all the way to the last couple of days of her life. Oh, and she died peacefully IN HER HOME with loving family near her. SAWEET!! ;-)
