About 35 years ago when I was in medical school statins were just beginning to be promoted. I remember a day where I learned in physiology class that cholesterol was mostly manufactured by the liver, with only a smaller amount absorbed through the diet. I also learned in other classes that cholesterol was the MAIN precursor molecule to nearly every hormone in the body AND the MAIN component of cell walls of every cell in the body. I remember saying to some peers and professors that maybe it's not a good idea to interfere with the metabolism of such an important molecule. If the liver is synthesizing it that means we need it. I got the usual response of the Framingham study showed high cholesterol is associated with heart disease. I would counter with the argument that maybe high cholesterol blood levels AND heart disease are symptoms of some deeper underlying problem. NOBODY except me was curious or skeptical at all. I even have a friend who is a cardiologist who to this day still takes his daily statin despite all the articles I've sent him showing increased all cause mortality of people on statins.
Wow. I'm thinking your cardiologist friend either has to keep taking the statins or admit to himself/others that he has (likely) been doing harm rather than good in his practice by prescribing statins. Not a pleasant prospect.
And, a large percentage of the brain is made up of fat and cholesterol too. Now with “low fat, low cholesterol” diets, and so many on statins, could that be a contributing factor to the massive increases in dementia?
I don’t know, and you can bet that no one is going to research it.
Well statins caused my dad to get dementia! I got him off of them once I started taking him to the doctor, but the damage was done. He had such a brilliant mind that statin’s destroyed. YOUR body and brain need cholesterol. They give these out like candy. He was on them 25 years until I weaned him off. I’ve learned that there are few good medications that don’t have huge side effects. It’s all about the money. I can’t believe the people I know on them. I’ve been able to convince some of my friends to get off of them and manage it with a better diet, and don’t look to our health care providers for that advice. They are still saying eggs are bad!!! They are a super food when you eat free range organic fed chickens eggs. I’ll never give up our eggs!
Believe in most of the above; but Vit. D is essential FOR ME, during the Autumn and Winter months and for us "older and less active blokes"... I get most through my food - Salmon, Tuna, sardines and liver PLUS take a prescribed weekly supplement (1 tab, slow release per week) ... and for me it seems to work ...
Think the rest is spot on, especially about Cholesterol and saturated fat ... HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN PLAYED AND LIED TO ?.
Near enough a round half century! In addition to supplements, I'm getting mine from raw milk. Plus I must be getting plenty from my cholesterol too which I'm optimising. ;-) Now all I need is more sun!!
Besides Vitamin D, sun exposure is critical for supplying near infrared and infrared for energizing your mitochondria. Dr. Mercola has some good work on this. Oddly, or not, given the goal was to jack up the death count, everything was done (like lockdowns and park and beach closures) to minimize sun exposure. Can't have the peasants unvaxxed and healthy. Even in the 1918 Pandemic, the health authorities advised sun and fresh air. The Fauxi Mafia knew that and did the opposite.
Oh the Sun; makes such a huge difference to both mind and body (although connected etc inhealthy mind , healthy body). Now if you promise to tell nobody; when younger played all the racquet sports a lot - one of the squash centres I played at (once per week) had a few sunbeds and like a ***, before shower and sauna I was on there ... EVEN BACK THEN, when I was fit as a fiddle; some UV light was a God send....
Curiously the sun has been rather absent here, although I am very happy to say the sky is very clear right now.
I'm also wondering about the roll of the gall bladder in all this.
Mine was removed about 4 1/2 years ago. I was intense pain, the MD said I didn't need it and it was in very rough shape (which I don't disbelieve, but would guess there were other options). And curiously again I keep meeting people who have also had their's removed. One young woman said a birth control pill had destroyed hers.
These organs play a role in our bodies that perhaps we don't always fully understand, like the appendix, for example. Interesting what the MD had to say about your gall bladder. Has the removal of it made any difference to your well being?
I'm of the mind that we don't understand much. That the MD said I didn't need my gall bladder was absurd. Doctor as God. I'm sure there were and are alternative ways to deal with an organ that isn't functioning properly. And yes the intense pain I was having is gone. Although my well being resides elsewhere. I'll be sure not to tell a doctor that my heart is broken. "Here doc, here's my heart. . . "
Yes, this was surgery for something else and over 7 years ago. I also had a complete hysterectomy at age 26 which devastated my health my entire lifetime. With no natural hormones it effects muscles internally & externally. I had 12 subsequent surgeries. I do believe that the doctor who did my hysterectomy thought he was doing the right thing; that was all he knew back then. I have amazingly made it to 80! My body is failing me, but my mind is not.
Tasmania, Australia, Atlantic salmon aquaculture is based on the Norwegian model. M. Evans did an informative series on Australia seafood called What's the Catch?
My reply was to "Fast Eddy", stating that I do not buy my fish in a supermarket, but from the FISH MARKET when the trawlers come in from fishing ... or the local shops that buy cheaper as they buy in bulk ... ie FRESH and not farmed fish NOR processed ... FRESH .. and they even smell like fish.
I also purchase wild caught fish in the market here in New Zealand.... however there is no wild caught salmon available here -- it is all farmed... and the farmed is right next to the wild caught options... (it is not labelled farmed...but it is)
There are few places that still offer wild caught salmon ... in Canada I know they refer to salmon as Atlantic Salmon ... as if it was wild caught... it is not wild caught rather it is farmed in huge pens ... in the Atlantic ocean
Fair play, but talked to one of the fisherman (not the brightest LOL) - oh where they "fish" ... strangely enough he stated long way from the farms (fish) as they - their Company has the fishing rights from UK and many EU nations ... all ALLEGIDLY fresh.
Going on from above and I have forgotten more than I once knew...
Two things though - a) I actually like the mackerel, kippers (herring) and things like "Sea /Red Bass", much more than Salmon and b) I understand what you are saying and appreciate it; but all I can do is to do my best in keeping myself and family healthy ... same with meat. Sofor me; supermarkets are out and "local shops and markets" are in now ... crazy really, if you knew how lazy I was !. Same with meat and veg.
I have recently adopted the carnivore diet. All of my “numbers” look great, except for “high LDL”. Wife thinks I’m gonna die. I don’t give AF due to the plethora of real doctors telling me to NOT worry about it. High LDL actually leads to LONGER life and less cancer, dementia etc. I’m literally getting faster and stronger at the gym, on the bike trails etc. Lower heart rate, less sweat. My sweat doesn’t smell. No gas or bloating. I can drum all night at 56 with no crash at the end of gigs. Bottom line, Pfuck the experts.
You and me both! I did carnivore last year but very strictly so I couldn't stay on it. Now, I've simply cut out bread, pasta, rice and potatoes and all "crap", i.e. sweets, biscuits, crisps, cakes, etc. It's plenty good enough. Included instead full fats - raw milk, Greek yoghurt, avocado, eggs. I actually eat even less than just the crap that I haven't replaced because I feel less hungry.
It takes longer for your body to digest meat. So, you are not hungry. Fresh healthy vegetables are also good. But, watch what you are buying or growing.
Great- yeah exactly. I no longer have cravings. We do raw milk and homemade Kefir as well.
Somehow we aren't dead yet :).
Check out the Healthy Cell supplements recommended by Dr McCullough. Those have been a game changer for me. I use the AM/PM formula. If I forget to re-order, the difference in how I feel in immediate and stunning. My PSA went from 4.3 to 2.4. The urologist was dumbfounded. Wanted a follow up to make sure it wasn't a bogus test. I never went back to him because he was masking. But my follow up 2 years later had the same result- 2.4. Every male in my family has had prostate cancer. I plan on ending the cycle. Bodybuilders in the 50's and 60's had it right. No steroids and they looked amazing. Keep it simple. Real, one ingredient foods. Tons of protein. I just ordered Creatine as well. Tons of science showing amazing benefits from that.
It they "approve" it, if they recommend it, and especially if they MANDATE it, then it is surely deadly and of absolutely zero benefit. It they slander it, or fight to ban it, likely it is very helpful and safe. Doesn't even matter what substance we're talking about. At one time, they even attempted to convince the public that the more mercury you inject into children, and the earlier you start doing it, the smarter your child will be.
And people believe their "food pyramid" which states that sugar cereal is healthier and more nutritious than a steak. Diabetics are told that sugar and refined grains are NOT hurting them, (so long as they balance their insulin injections with the poison they're eating) and that they must make sure to avoid all animal products.
Exactly. If any of these demons gave AF about public health, 80% of what is in grocery stores would be immediately banned. And I'm being very generous with the 80%.
bottom line, in this country we allow things that other countries won't even consider.
Haven't even told my mom about my carnivore diet. She would probably literally worry herself to death. She is all in on all the nonsense, 100%. Thinks Fraudci and Gates are gods......
The utter lack of common sense is incomprehensible. People like her viciously defending the "strategy" of do nothing until you can't breathe, then go to the hospital- and screaming that WE are the science deniers. I seriously don't care what happens to any of them at this point.
I too have reached a level of frustration with the brainless zombie "trust the government" people, such that I don't give a shit any more. These are the very people who will be the first to point at us and scream "UNVACCINATED!" And they are in fact a bigger threat to our survival than the cabal that's plotting all of this. Without their brainwashed zombies to enforce this death agenda on us, they are powerless! So frankly, sometimes I feel like it's a good thing that many (most?) of these zombies probably won't be with us after their 4th, or 5th boosters.
A population who will voluntarily line up for experimental jabs (and beg for more) is not one that could ever sustain a "free" nation. They are the ones who were calling for the unvaccinated to be jailed, denied life-saving medical care, or even SLAUGHTERED! And I can't bring myself to give a crap what happens to them anymore.
I was beyond stunned at the 2022 election results. People are literally lining up to vote for their own poisoning. By then, EVERYONE had to be able to see the damage. Yet they see, say and do NOTHING. And STILL mock “people like us”. I have a buddy whose two best friends “died suddenly” back to back. When I mentioned that Fraudci was an incompetent fool, he accused me if being Qanon and blamed everything on Trump and anti maskers.
That makes so much sense: Big Pharma pushing statins and depleting the body of an essential vitamin and so many people getting ill on them without realising what's causing their illness. Just so that Big Pharma can make yet more money at the expense of people's health.
Make people ill enough to rely on the pharmaceutical industry's magic pills but not so ill that they die too early. As an added bonus, a frightened, weak and sick population can be much more easily controlled by the government
... where the ride is very bumping and you keep getting thrown out the door while narrowly managing to grab a handle to pull yourself back in... and you wonder why, why can't I just let go and sail off... where thoughts are free and not confined to the game of decoding the 'despicable masters' horrifying and insanely endless agenda. Where thoughts can sail off in many directions at once and you laugh as you see which ones you can follow... bring back in, while you let the others go.
Why are most people fat who drink the diet colas? I don't drink any. Always use butter, full fat everything, not got a sweet tooth but will sometimes get the urge for chocolate. I read somewhere that statin use can bring on dementia too.
Just because they drink diet cola is probably not an indication that they are also careful about their other sugar and processed carb intake?! In fact, they may even use that as an excuse to top up elsewhere and not feel guilty?!
First time family visited USA, we had two young ones and did Universal Studios and Disney. Well, what a shock we had when seeing the sizes of plates piled with food! We ended up just ordering 2 x meals with 4 x plates. We also had never seen so many large, huge in fact, people. That was 25 years ago and here in UK it is no longer a rare. However, the financial squeeze has been with us for many years and fresh fruit, vegetables are not cheap plus the fuel cost of cooking meals can be prohibitive too. My local small supermarket has security tags on most meat as well as booze now. Our village also runs a food bank. Sign of the times.
My guess is that it has something to do with the artificial sweeteners. They’re AWFUL for you. Can cause inflammation, MS-like symptoms, addiction and others.
I used to send papers to my SIL about the harms and risks of synthetic sweeteners and diet drinks (she's a heavy consumer) until she told me she doesn't want to hear it and to stop sending her that stuff. Mind, this is also the person who is visibly unhealthy and morbidly obese but doesn't want to do a diabetes test (recommended to her by family members and her doctor) because she doesn't want to know the results since then it will mean she has to change her diet. Ignorance is bliss aye. 🤦♀️
Another home run with this one Joel! You could write 10 times this much and just be scratching the surface. On a humorous note, I have had total cholesterol over 200 since I was 19 years old. I have had statins hawked at me for years. A few months ago, a doctor told me that he was writing a prescription for Atorvastatin. I smiled at him and said, "don't waste the paper. I will not take it." He looked at me like I had stated that I believe in elves. I told him that regardless of my Southern accent, I can read big words and understand them. The best studies out there show about a 1% Absolute risk benefit, but around 5% adverse events from statin usage. I have that many fingers and was able to compute that it was not for me. Whew...math is hard.

It is also the case that cholesterol-sulphate (important for cardiovascular function) and vit D3-sulphate are both fat and WATER soluble. They do not have to be packaged in LDLs and traverse the bloodstream/enter cells ten times faster than fat-soluble cholesterol/vit D3.
They are only ever produced when UV light hits the skin:
Love Dr Wolfson (The Natural Heart Doctor) in Scottsdale AZ. He is a cardiologist that went to natural remedies to help with heart disease. He has a lot of information about nutrition deficiencies and heart problems. Lots of classes. Some free...some are a minimal charge. But he also quotes many studies that show you should not be taking statins that cholesterol is important and needed for so many systems of the body.
The other big lie about Vitamin D is that it's the same thing to take it orally as it is to make it from sunlight. Medical researchers seem incredibly dense on this point; study after study correlates higher blood levels of Vitamin D to better outcomes retrospectively on assorted health conditions, but controlled studies on supplementing Vitamin D keep showing no result on the same outcomes.
The process of D3 synthesis (and binding to its carrier protein) that takes place in the skin also results in the production of several other hormone-like substances that we incompletely understand. None of these processes take place when the already-synthesized vitamin is absorbed in the gut. It's likely that oral supplements have a negative feedback effect on these processes.
A dark-skinned person in Northern latitudes may need to supplement in winter in order to avoid deficiency symptoms. But a pale person who can get 20-40 minutes of sun exposure daily is far better off doing so instead of taking oral Vitamin D.
Never a truer word spoken by Nick Hudson - "what I’ve fast learnt is that proponents are basically telling themselves just-so stories about very complex systems, and playing with interventions absent the experimental apparatus to evaluate them robustly".
Do you know of any studies looking at topical/transdermal D supplementation?
I've noticed that if I take D orally, it only has a very minimal effect. But if I cut open the capsules and apply it topically, any deficiency symptoms I get rapidly disappear and I feel generally more healthy.
I just found this. They found a cream showed no absorption and a gel with some alcohol in it showed some penetration into the deeper layers of skin. In their study none of the Vitamin D made it to the body receptors, but it was a single application, followed up in only 24 hours. Probably you’d need to put a lot on, on a regular basis, to keep your blood levels optimal. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29869312/
The capsules I'm using are oil based (olive oil to be specific). I used to do 5,000iu per day but have since heard that less frequent but higher doses work better so I've switched to 15,000iu every 3-7 days depending on how much sun exposure I get.
I have one very obvious sign of deficiency - the ends of my fingers start getting fine cracks and peeling. If I ignore that, it will get worse till the cracks get deep and bleed. I usually also get general dermatitis as well at this point.
Other symptoms are more subtle (an intermittent, persistent dry cough with no other symptoms, lingering colds, increased severity of colds, etc.).
Would be interesting to see further studies done using fat or oil bases. It's not that surprising to me that a cream and gel wouldn't do that well.
That makes sense, though a quick pubmed search shows no studies on transdermal application. The skin cells that make Vitamin D from cholesterol also have enzymes that convert it to its metabolically active form and bind it to its carrier protein. The question is, how much of it would you have to apply to get an optimal dose?
I was awakened to the whole big pharma big food scam by reading Dr Malcolm Kendrick’s work and watching YouTube videos of Ivor Cummins, & Dr Aseem Malhotra, which led to my rapid awakening to the COVID scam!!
The role of LDL in the immune system is a revelation and I wonder how many people on statins had poor covid outcomes??!!!
Yet again big pharma wants to make us sick with statins to buy more of their shitty toxic pills!
Check out work of Dr Jack Wolfson who was a cardiologist and now would not prescribe statins but lifestyle instead!!

Some surgeons will remove your appendix and gallbladder during surgery saying it's the law! It happened to me!!
I'm assuming you mean during a surgery for something else?
If so that is incredibly hideous and really speaks to a larger agenda.
Can I ask how long ago this happened to you?

When I mentioned that Fraudci was an incompetent fool, he accused me if being Qanon and blamed everything on Trump and anti maskers.
That makes so much sense: Big Pharma pushing statins and depleting the body of an essential vitamin and so many people getting ill on them without realising what's causing their illness. Just so that Big Pharma can make yet more money at the expense of people's health.
You have to admit though, it's an awesome business model?!
Make people ill enough to rely on the pharmaceutical industry's magic pills but not so ill that they die too early. As an added bonus, a frightened, weak and sick population can be much more easily controlled by the government
From what I'm reading here I would wonder if the profiteering is a small part of the agenda.
Welcome aboard the thought train.... 😃
... where the ride is very bumping and you keep getting thrown out the door while narrowly managing to grab a handle to pull yourself back in... and you wonder why, why can't I just let go and sail off... where thoughts are free and not confined to the game of decoding the 'despicable masters' horrifying and insanely endless agenda. Where thoughts can sail off in many directions at once and you laugh as you see which ones you can follow... bring back in, while you let the others go.
Why are most people fat who drink the diet colas? I don't drink any. Always use butter, full fat everything, not got a sweet tooth but will sometimes get the urge for chocolate. I read somewhere that statin use can bring on dementia too.
Just because they drink diet cola is probably not an indication that they are also careful about their other sugar and processed carb intake?! In fact, they may even use that as an excuse to top up elsewhere and not feel guilty?!
Off-setting. Just like paying more tax off-sets one's carbon footprint 🤡
That too!!
First time family visited USA, we had two young ones and did Universal Studios and Disney. Well, what a shock we had when seeing the sizes of plates piled with food! We ended up just ordering 2 x meals with 4 x plates. We also had never seen so many large, huge in fact, people. That was 25 years ago and here in UK it is no longer a rare. However, the financial squeeze has been with us for many years and fresh fruit, vegetables are not cheap plus the fuel cost of cooking meals can be prohibitive too. My local small supermarket has security tags on most meat as well as booze now. Our village also runs a food bank. Sign of the times.
My guess is that it has something to do with the artificial sweeteners. They’re AWFUL for you. Can cause inflammation, MS-like symptoms, addiction and others.
I think there's something in that and how it can alter one's metabalism.
I used to send papers to my SIL about the harms and risks of synthetic sweeteners and diet drinks (she's a heavy consumer) until she told me she doesn't want to hear it and to stop sending her that stuff. Mind, this is also the person who is visibly unhealthy and morbidly obese but doesn't want to do a diabetes test (recommended to her by family members and her doctor) because she doesn't want to know the results since then it will mean she has to change her diet. Ignorance is bliss aye. 🤦♀️
Don't give the oil seed industry a pass.
Building the unifying hypothesis! No-one is getting away with it!!
Exactly!
Can you explain? I'm confused.
Plant oils in general (almost all of them) cause INFLAMMATION.
Animal fats are the most stable.
thank you Joy
Another home run with this one Joel! You could write 10 times this much and just be scratching the surface. On a humorous note, I have had total cholesterol over 200 since I was 19 years old. I have had statins hawked at me for years. A few months ago, a doctor told me that he was writing a prescription for Atorvastatin. I smiled at him and said, "don't waste the paper. I will not take it." He looked at me like I had stated that I believe in elves. I told him that regardless of my Southern accent, I can read big words and understand them. The best studies out there show about a 1% Absolute risk benefit, but around 5% adverse events from statin usage. I have that many fingers and was able to compute that it was not for me. Whew...math is hard.
And what was the "benefit" end point anyway?? And what was the "off-target" harm??
It is also the case that cholesterol-sulphate (important for cardiovascular function) and vit D3-sulphate are both fat and WATER soluble. They do not have to be packaged in LDLs and traverse the bloodstream/enter cells ten times faster than fat-soluble cholesterol/vit D3.
They are only ever produced when UV light hits the skin:

Fascinating! I had no idea that our bodies use cholesterol to manufacture vitamin D.
Love Dr Wolfson (The Natural Heart Doctor) in Scottsdale AZ. He is a cardiologist that went to natural remedies to help with heart disease. He has a lot of information about nutrition deficiencies and heart problems. Lots of classes. Some free...some are a minimal charge. But he also quotes many studies that show you should not be taking statins that cholesterol is important and needed for so many systems of the body.
The other big lie about Vitamin D is that it's the same thing to take it orally as it is to make it from sunlight. Medical researchers seem incredibly dense on this point; study after study correlates higher blood levels of Vitamin D to better outcomes retrospectively on assorted health conditions, but controlled studies on supplementing Vitamin D keep showing no result on the same outcomes.
The process of D3 synthesis (and binding to its carrier protein) that takes place in the skin also results in the production of several other hormone-like substances that we incompletely understand. None of these processes take place when the already-synthesized vitamin is absorbed in the gut. It's likely that oral supplements have a negative feedback effect on these processes.
A dark-skinned person in Northern latitudes may need to supplement in winter in order to avoid deficiency symptoms. But a pale person who can get 20-40 minutes of sun exposure daily is far better off doing so instead of taking oral Vitamin D.
Never a truer word spoken by Nick Hudson - "what I’ve fast learnt is that proponents are basically telling themselves just-so stories about very complex systems, and playing with interventions absent the experimental apparatus to evaluate them robustly".
Do you know of any studies looking at topical/transdermal D supplementation?
I've noticed that if I take D orally, it only has a very minimal effect. But if I cut open the capsules and apply it topically, any deficiency symptoms I get rapidly disappear and I feel generally more healthy.
Interesting.
I just found this. They found a cream showed no absorption and a gel with some alcohol in it showed some penetration into the deeper layers of skin. In their study none of the Vitamin D made it to the body receptors, but it was a single application, followed up in only 24 hours. Probably you’d need to put a lot on, on a regular basis, to keep your blood levels optimal. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29869312/
The capsules I'm using are oil based (olive oil to be specific). I used to do 5,000iu per day but have since heard that less frequent but higher doses work better so I've switched to 15,000iu every 3-7 days depending on how much sun exposure I get.
I have one very obvious sign of deficiency - the ends of my fingers start getting fine cracks and peeling. If I ignore that, it will get worse till the cracks get deep and bleed. I usually also get general dermatitis as well at this point.
Other symptoms are more subtle (an intermittent, persistent dry cough with no other symptoms, lingering colds, increased severity of colds, etc.).
Would be interesting to see further studies done using fat or oil bases. It's not that surprising to me that a cream and gel wouldn't do that well.
That makes sense, though a quick pubmed search shows no studies on transdermal application. The skin cells that make Vitamin D from cholesterol also have enzymes that convert it to its metabolically active form and bind it to its carrier protein. The question is, how much of it would you have to apply to get an optimal dose?
Been saying this for a while.
Overcoming the brainwashing and doctor worship is not easy.
My response to the inevitable 'Are you a doctor?' has become 'No, I actually know what I'm talking about.'
🤣.
Bet he didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn, either.
Getting kicked off one's 'health' insurance definitely helps.
I was awakened to the whole big pharma big food scam by reading Dr Malcolm Kendrick’s work and watching YouTube videos of Ivor Cummins, & Dr Aseem Malhotra, which led to my rapid awakening to the COVID scam!!
The role of LDL in the immune system is a revelation and I wonder how many people on statins had poor covid outcomes??!!!
Yet again big pharma wants to make us sick with statins to buy more of their shitty toxic pills!
Check out work of Dr Jack Wolfson who was a cardiologist and now would not prescribe statins but lifestyle instead!!
Vitamin D seems to be a substantial factor in many of these things, doesn't it? I wonder when rickets is going to make a return...
Eat like your ancestor, it didn't kill them.
Cholesterol is also the backbone of all the sex hormones (testosterone, etc)......
Oh that is curious!
