- DR CYWES predicted STATINS WILL BE OBSOLETE IN 10-20 YEARS. Already PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGISTS ARE MOVING AWAY. This compelling video presents the data and direction of change. TREATING INFLAMMATION over LIPIDS YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO ABOUT STATINS AND INFLAMMATION #insulinresistance CAUSES #inflammation. Low Carb Healthy Fat eating restores INSULIN SENSITIVITY and reduces INFLAMMATION. MEDICATIONS CANNOT DO THIS. This Pt 2 video outlines a TRANSFORMATION IN HOW TO THINK ABOUT DIET AND INFLAMMATION AND HOW THE BODY RESPONDS. Please leave comments.

I now cannot get a doctor because I refused to take statins. My cholesterol numbers were elevated due to carnivore. I'm 40lbs lighter and bloodwork is perfect all except for my CRP which is now only recently out of whack, yet doctors don't care about that. All they care about is feeding the pharma cow. I have lost all respect for the medical profession.
If I were in that situation I would demand the cheapest statin, get the prescription filled, and simply not take it.
We all have!! CARNIVORE IS A HEALER.
Actually I’ve taken statins on and off for decades but not for the last 15 years or so. Fortunately I’ve never had a bad side-effect - or a lowering in the numbers that statins are supposed to lower. Absolutely no effects positive or negative, which may be just as well.
@@markiangooley
Not YET seen any problems, etc. If the dangerous affect were quick and obvious, the statins would have been taken off the market years ago and the Drs. and drug companies would have been sued out of business.
They know there are long term dangers and that's all a part of their plan... Just my opinion.
Not me😅
My cardiologist was worried about my raised LDL. He was genuinely trying to reduce it. He totally ignored the danger of dementia. I have taken all my elderly patients off their statins to prevent dementia
And what about the meta study that found that the elderly with higher LDL had less chance of dying than those with low LDL? Why is this study ignored by medical practice?
Thank-you !
@@gwenj5419 I should live forever then. I am way high!!!! Also less depression, although that may not apply to me, we are living in hard times. Long term survivors of cancer, I see that in my family with some very bad cancers, they live forever too.
Our family doctor apologized during my last appointment. He and many others have had their eyes opened. He sat and talked to me about everything like a child discovering icecream. I just smiled and said, thank you.
My doctor had an epiphany during the jab promotion!
You're so full of it😂
@@sandorrulestheworld9655 Quite the debater you are 😲
Love this -as a physician a retiring cardiologist basically told this to my medical school class 30 years ago …a doc asked “if we don’t write a statin and one of our patients gets a heart attack and we are sued what should we do ? “ he answered “I’ll write a letter of support at your malpractice trial “ I remember thinking 🤔 why would the AMA and all the other cardiologist be on board with this ? The retiring cardiologist predicted we will have skyrocketing diabetes and mental health problems …all this has come true …thank you for all you do -there is a big disconnect in ignorance of diet and inflammation
Yes, so true. I’ve never had a doctor say well let’s talk about inflammation in your body. But from what I’ve read, it’s inflammation in the arteries that causes the cholesterol to stick. We need to talk about inflammation.!
“All disease, at some period or other of its course, is more or less a reparative process, not necessarily accompanied with suffering: an effort of nature to remedy a process of poisoning or of decay, which has taken place weeks, months, sometimes years beforehand, unnoticed.”
- Florence Nightingale
@@loisannarter725 My rheumatologist talks to me about inflammation every visit.
And the effects on memory !
Dr. Sarina, what did that physician see that caused the prediction of skyrocketing diabetes and mental health problems? I’m wondering if the physician expected obesity as the reason for the skyrocketing.
5 months carnivore/ketovore and feeling awesome! My doctor (drug pusher) is freaking out about my LDL right now even though my triglycerides and HDL are perfect, as is my blood pressure, blood sugar, and I’m at a healthy weight. My LDL wouldn’t have been considered high before the invention of the statin.
I so needed to hear your talk today Dr. Cywes. You keep me on track and remind me why I changed my lifestyle. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and inspiring my cognitive dissonance!
Statins cost pennies and Americans are all up in arms about doctors as drug pushers. SORT OUT YOUR FUCKING HEALTH SYSTEM - it needs to be a National Health Service which works only for patients like EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE CIVILISED WORLD.
“Medications do not fix what we’ve done to ourselves. If you cause the problem a pill won’t fix that.” Well said.
A UK study show that people with higher bad cholesterol live longer than those with lower bad cholesterol.
Imagine that.
Thats me and my family for sure. Keep the inflammation down.
That doesn't make any sense. Cholesterol is cholesterol. There's no such thing as bad cholesterol
Link the study please
@@arlisskowski oxidised LDL...but that's not what Doctors mean when they say bad LDL...
It’s like showing up to a house fire & thinking the firemen are the ones who set the fire…🤦♂️
Fahrenheit 451
it's like ignoring 50 years of research and jumping on a fringe band wagon - Qanon medicine. But evolution will solve that soon enough.
No, it’s not. What a stupid thing to say.
You can tell the difference of a PA & MD that are still practising from what they learned in college, to a doctor that studies scientific modern facts. My doctors are still pushing statins, and get aggravated with me that I will not take them.
“Oh, you’re taking poison? Okay, take this antidote.” NO!! Stop taking the poison, for cryin’ out loud!! 😡
A work colleague took a statin for at least 20 years and still required a stent down the track (not sure if he had a heart attack or just blockage; whichever the statin did NOT prevent it). He stopped his statin about 3 years ago. He told me that he was okay on it for most of that time and then the side effects started and he felt awful. He said that once he stopped the statin he felt so much better.
My dad had a minor heart attack and was placed on statins. Twenty years later he required bypass surgery. Not over weight, relatively active, ate a balanced nutritional diet.
I’ve been following Dr Cywes for a few months & about a month ago I started carnivore. Lost 10 lbs, all inflammation GONE, joints felt great, sleeping well. I fell off the wagon this week & ate carbs (bread, fruit) & I feel TERRIBLE. My joints hurt, bloated, brain fog. This has really convinced me to stay the course with carnivore. Thank you Dr Cywes for showing us the way!
For me, intermittent fasting is magic. Treated my insulin resistence in months, along with everything else falling into place. Healthier with more energy too. No drugs needed.
Wasn't I.F shown to be heart non healthy?
@@venicebeachsurfer Oh THAT was propaganda. Anything healthy gets big pharma upset lol.
Could no longer take statins fue to muscle & joint inflammation. Stopped, felt normal again. Started glp1, now 0 inflammation, normal fasting blood sugar, brain Fog gone, and have dropped 15 lbs. Never felt better.
It’s a no-brainer approach. I have had to fight with my doctor against taking a statin.
Great video as always! I would like to humbly add from what I’ve heard from other zero carb doctors and influencers is that seed oils could be the number three reason for arterial wall inflammation and damage.
Yep, the very oils that we were told were very healthy years ago 🙄
What about Olive Oil?
@@dianewhitmore9235 Olive oil and avocado oil are the least offensive/inflammatory, however, still might be processed. I’ve read that first pressing of extra version olive oil is less inflammatory and don’t know that much about avocado oil however both can cause inflammatory responses. When in doubt it’s best to stick with saturated fat from ruminant animals and or tallow to cook in.
Just got pushed by my doc to take statins. I WILL NOT DO IT I told her.
Do you have plaque?
Same here. My 2nd year resident doc said my risk calculation was high and when I said 'no' to statins, she asked me to at least get a coronary calcium scan. I did. It was 2.14, I am 71, my LDL is 109, Total cholesterol is 215, HDL is 94, Normal blood pressure and no meds for it, A1C is 5.4, Fasting Insulin is 6, APOB is 90. Owner of the practice and her supervising MD subsequently had their RN call me and say NO to statins. GLAD I DID NOT JUST GO ON THEM AT FIRST RECOMMENDATION. Prevent is a new risk calculator you can do yourself online at no cost from the American Heart Association. (It showed low risk too)
ME TOO! YESTERDAY. I won't do it!
Please do a body identical HRT video for the peri/menopausal woman . Protecting us from heart disease and Dementia !!! Love and follow your content !
Dementia is cause to inhale thri cloro etillene and per cloro etillene present in detergens dry clearnes, perfumes, disinfectants, dishwasher and smells products.
I feel so sad for menopausal friends who’re afraid of HRT. Their whole life will be affected by being deprived of the hormones they need.
@@devinfarrelly3768 I am one of those. Bio identical HRT drove my blood pressure thru the roof. And i was on very minimal compounded doses.My sister feels great and does well on HRT. It's not for every woman.
Yeah this message needs to be distributed globally ASAP
Dr. Budoff mentioned that the ADA and the AHA are starting to appreciate the contribution of inflammation to the process of atherosclerosis. So why then, to this very day, do these two "medical" organizations recommend that we diabetics, with known heart disease, consume 50%-75% of our daily calories as CARBOHYDRATES. Something really "stinks to high heaven" here!!!!!!
Because they are 90% funded by the food industry and pharmaceutical industry. They are puppets. The former Director of the board was told to leave when she publicly stated she had diabetes and that a low carb diet was how she controlled it. The sponsors flipped out and had her removed.
Yes the ADA needs to change their recommendations on diet for diabetics....
Big Pharma,Big Agri et al; they're ALL been Fooling us for Decades!!😮❤🎉
Dr. Cywes once again delivering the goods!
On cholesterol, I've learned that lab values are a target number not an average number like most other lab values are. I stopped going to doctor when I realized they want stations for all people.
Do these doctors get kickbacks, or bonuses from Pharma?
Your explanations of current medical trends and pharmaceuticals adds some really useful perspective - keep them coming.
I completely agree with you Dr Cywes, hell everything you state is truth and fact. However, this is the concern. These cholesterol-lowering drugs are HUGE business, representing $14.1 billion in U.S. sales for 2020, and sales are expected to reach $17.3 billion by 2027 ... drug companies will not let this go unless doctor stop listening to them and prescribing etc. Doctors like you cause the shift in thinking, saving lives, and living longer. Bless you Dr Cywes.
Brilliant, thank you. We should be educating ourselves now on 'vegetable oils' and the part they play in Obesity and Diabetes type 2. Huge!
You are a wonderful physician, Dr. Cywes!! I appreciate you, and your expertise.
In the mid-1990's I stopped taking statins. I can't find it now, but there was a Harvard study indicating that 77% of women who were on statins would develop T2 diabetes..... guess what happened to me? I read a few books and starting researching the work of functional medical practitioners.... I'm now 73 years old and I've had high cholesterol for 33+ years. I stick mainly to a low-carb diet and about 90% of my food is what I call "real" food, prepared from scratch..... my last tests indicate that my blood sugar levels are within limits. I've been fighting with my doctors for 30 years and in one instance, I had to provide a disclaimer to my doctor when I lived in the UK.
Thank you for this hopeful message.
The American Stroke Association sounds like something for really bad golfers… or perhaps something less wholesome.
That's hilarious
😅😅
😂😂 on the other ways!
Neurologists must speak out about the dementia effects, and cardiologists need to stop prescribing statins out of fear of lawsuits.
Absolute respect and honor for risking system shunning for TRUTH. God bless you!
I've been on a low carb life style, lost 15kg, triglicerides is down, inflamation count down 400% without using statins as subscribed by my doctor. Use only ACV, ginger, garlic and turmeric.
Always appreciate these discussions. Not sure I want to chase better health by consuming drugs, but knowing what does what is part of understanding how the body works. That's got to benefit all of us.
You ARE saving lives Doc!!! Thank you most sincerely!!❤
Love your opening statement! Thanks to doctors like you on UA-cam, I was able to be my own advocate for my health. I took statins for one month and my joint pain was unbearable. My cardiologist is not happy about my decision but it’s my body and I have the decision to continue to eat healthy, exercise and take my supplements such as Nattokinase, Bergamot and fish oil vs statins. My other markers from triglycerides to HDL are excellent. Nope. Not taking pharmaceutical drugs for cholesterol ever!
Just ordered my natokinase and bergamont! I’m so excited to prove my doctors wrong.
Yeah, on LCHF I got my trigs/HDL ratio down from 8-10x to 1-1.5x. Don't care about LDL.
The high-carb low-fat food-pyramid scam diet gave me heart disease. Had to change.
I wish my husband wouldn't 😢😮
Thank You ❤️
Yes, Dr Cywes, you have helped me save my life! In time for me to still have a life. Thank you!
You look intimidating but you are a great human being. And I appreciate doctors like you that want their patients to live a healthy happy life. Health is precious ❤❤❤❤
Good information 👍🏾 👍🏾
You're the best!!!
Second question for Dr. Cywes-Do you believe that enough research has been performed by Big Pharma on the potential LONG TERM adverse effects of the GLP1 agonists?
Thank you!
Brilliant 🎉
Statins are the most prescribed medication on the planet , its purpose is to make the drug companies rich!
When my doctor recommended statins, I refused because I didn't think I would be the one person in 350 who would benefit.
What does it benefit the other349 ??
@@creatiffy It doesn't give any benefit. Also all 350 get the terrible side effects.
The therapy may be obsolete, but its use will continue. There's too much money to be made from use of statins for it to stop.
Don't worry. The drug companies will invent another disease to "treat" that will protect their bottom line.
Excellent
Margarine should also be avoided as it has a lot of transfats.
So, statins raise blood glucose, they don't prevent placque build-up, can cause dementia and they shut down the liver for several hours after ingesting the drug. I cannot figure out the benefit, unless having perfect LDL and HDL levels and low total cholesterol is the goal while ignoring all the other threats to health. I have a difficult time taking my statin for these reasons, so I take it maybe every 3 days.
After trying several other natural means.. I started using the Garlique brand formulated for cholesterol, AND.. also eating kale - stir-fried till at least blanched at nearly every meal . . & my bad cholesterol went way down, & my good cholesterol rose to a very good level. As long as I "watch my weight", & don't let it slip up SEVERAL pounds, my checkup every 3 months with my PCP has continued to display these great cholesterol levels! ❤️
Well said! I gave up carbs 2 years ago. I’m cured!
Congratulations! I am now metabolically healthy after having fatty liver for at least 25 years. For me it's been 2y 8 m - off BP drug, refused statin (I have a zero CTAC score, but LDL went up; I'm *not* a LMHR). The solution was very simple. I found having a motivator helped (learned you can go blind and get kidney damage) as well as encouragement that I have been getting online from videos, comments and interactions with other commenters. I wish you all the best.
Spot on!
I refused to take them, period. My doctor just winked at me and never brought it up again.
How about that new study showing about 40% of people on statins don’t need to be! Incredible. Interesting to see what drs say and do to reevaluate their patients
Dr. Cywes, have you seen the emerging data that now shows that if a patient does not take the GLP1 agonist treatment for the rest of his/her life, that ALL the weight will come roaring back?
I got diabetes because of some jacka$$ cardiologist who put me on them “just to be safe”.
Agree, Dr Cywes, about the blood glucose impact on LDL and cholesterol and importance of measuring (I am not diabetic, but wear a CGM through Levels health). BUT would suggest going one step further on etiology ....FASTING INSULIN LEVEL. Should be part of the annual "physical".
My latest A1C is 5.2. Thank you 🙏 low carb paleo. No Rxs, no pain or inflammation. 69 is good. 💪
Why would you replace statins with glp1 instead of treating type 2 with very low carb diets and exercise protocols especially now that we are seeing the harmful effects of glp1's. In a percent of the population which may become more elevated gastroparesis is no joke. Why are we not giving patients the support they need to incorporate tailored diet and exercise protocols including support for changing mindset in the face of carbohydrate addiction. And, why are CGMs so expensive and only covered by insurance if you are on insulin. Insurance companies would save money down the line by aiding people to autonomously manage their disease.
How are the statin prescribers going to expl;ain away the damage they have caused? Are they legally liable? When I see people in my circle slowly develop T2DM and cognitive impairment, I could just weep.
I’m pretty sure the lawsuits have already started.
They typically just switch and then say that they knew it all along they seldom acknowledge the error of the previous ways
Do you believe that industrial seed oils are as much or more of a cause for inflation vs. sugar?
Dr. Chris Knobe has several videos where he believes that the industrial seed oils are even worse for humans than excess sugar consumption.
If you do not eat Cobb hydrates you hardly ever eat seed oils they are a confounder not a causal problem
A diabetic educator stated she saw many clients decline when put on statins. Functional doctors are stating that diabetics II is cellular not glucose intolerance. They have been helping diabetics II with better results of managing blood sugar. I am wondering I’d coverage from insurance companies for functional medicine will be covered in the next decade.
Hi Dr. Rob - You like Zepbound Mounjaro Dual glp gip better than ozempic waygovy ? Thank you
Ozempic is not safe either for people with the usual metabolic comorbidities of kidney and intestinal problems. Dietary change, supplementation and lifestyle change are the only healthy options, and no, it doesn’t require the assistance of a medical professional other then for diagnosis and monitoring.
It always amazes me that people come out against a fabulous drug that makes huge improvements in your health yet they justify taking a whole bunch of other medications and supplements as if those are better supplements should come from food and you should never need any medications but if you are going to require a medication should you not use the most effective one just saying
@@robertcywes2966 Supplements have a better risk benefit ratio. Yes, they may be less effective but how effective do they need to be if you’re adopting lifestyle changes? Medications often work so well that there is no incentive for the patient to make dietary and lifestyle changes. Weighing risk benefits is a complicated matter in people whose bodies are already ravaged by decades of diabetes, it has to be determined for each individual case and it’s impossible to make a general statement on the efficacy of this drug if the criteria is longevity.
What are your thoughts about low-dose colchicine as an anti-inflammatory for ascvd?
So many non-cardiologists denouncing statins!
There's not much profit for pharmaceutical companies that provide a drug to help people (-temporarily-) bring their insulin resistance and inflammation under control, with a view to stopping the drug after the patient improves their diet. Instead, I'm thinking the mindset will be more along the lines of, "Keep eating whatever you want and take this drug for life." And I'm sure Dr. Matt Budoff is being paid handsomely by Novo Nordisk to push the use of their drug.
I didn't understand a statement you made regarding colchicine? can you elaborate please.
Yeah, dangerous generic statins will be replaced by expensive, dangerous injections.
Disagree. Useless meds replaced w beneficial meds. Nocarb always best
@@robertcywes2966 I believe the person meant that big pharma will find a way to replace low cost statins with higher priced alternatives that will likely even reduce a person's cholesterol even more and therefore being even more dangerous.
They've already tried to find an HDL increase drug.
... to be changed for another drug (more expensive?) when in the majority of cases changing their diet would more than likely work.
exactly. whenever they have a new and more expensive drug they suddenly find that the old one is useless.
@@hiraijo1582 Or when the patent runs out
Nicotine from “smoke” or even “smokeless tobacco”. And why is nicotine a problem?
Thanks
If my triglycerides are low I'm happy with my ldl slightly high.
Did he say Ozempic doesn't have bad side effects or they're not as bad as Statin side effects? What are the possible side effects of Ozempic®?
Ozempic® may cause serious side effects, including:
inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis). Stop using Ozempic® and call your health care provider right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that will not go away, with or without vomiting. You may feel the pain from your abdomen to your back.
changes in vision. Tell your health care provider if you have changes in vision during treatment with Ozempic®.
low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your risk for getting low blood sugar may be higher if you use Ozempic® with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as a sulfonylurea or insulin. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include: dizziness or lightheadedness, blurred vision, anxiety, irritability or mood changes, sweating, slurred speech, hunger, confusion or drowsiness, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat, and feeling jittery.
kidney problems (kidney failure). In people who have kidney problems, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may cause a loss of fluids (dehydration), which may cause kidney problems to get worse. It is important for you to drink fluids to help reduce your chance of dehydration.
serious allergic reactions. Stop using Ozempic® and get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat; problems breathing or swallowing; severe rash or itching; fainting or feeling dizzy; or very rapid heartbeat.
gallbladder problems. Gallbladder problems have happened in some people who take Ozempic®. Tell your health care provider right away if you get symptoms which may include: pain in your upper stomach (abdomen), fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or clay-colored stools.
The most common side effects of Ozempic® may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach (abdominal) pain, and constipation.
Exactly,a massive long list
Add gastroparesis to that list.
What do you suggest someone like me should do? I have inflammation from mixed connective tissue disease and I also have high cholesterol. VLDL is the only thing within range. LDL is more than 350. Trigs are higher than HDL.
As honest and accurate as this is, it will help the skyrocketing sales of GLP1s for weight loss. And we wait for the side effects that cannot be reversed. We are talking nearly $3 TRILLION dollar expense to the medical system, absolutely dwarfing the cost of insulin and treatment of T2D.
Health care is collapsing right before our eyes. Driven by profits rather than common sense health treatments.
The answer? Education about carbohydrates, ultra processed foods and insulin resistance. And personal responsibility. That will free up resources for people who are unable to do it themselves.
If the side effect of not taking one of these medications is death from heart attack and stroke put that into your perspective as well these medications do save lives with a very low side effect profile obviously lifestyle changes preclude the need for these medications but if you're sick or struggling for a while then make a difference
@@robertcywes2966 I agree completely. It is an acute solution, to acute disease. Absolutely not a weight loss "hack" for controllable chronic disease. I am reminded of a doc that prescribed statins, and claimed that if I did not take a statin I'd be dead. I am concerned that the current thinking is the same thinking that elevated statins to their current position.
One side effect is an enormous increase in thyroid cancer
Excellent news re CGM: when will these be available in SA
I want to know as well.
I hope the Stelo will be available over the counter in Canada.
Wondering what dr. Cywes’ thoughts are in a FH 50yr old who’s done keto/carnivore for 5+ years and has crazy high cholesterol (700) and Lp(a) of 500?
What about seed oils? It seems this may also be a major contributor to insulin resistance/inflammation?
Stopped taking a statin for about 4 months now and eating a keto diet to resuce carbs. Curious what my blood work will show in 2 months when I see my primary care physician.
What about the bad gastric side effects of these new meds? What about Ozempic Face? Are you paid to like these drugs so vociferously?
Cortisol, stress thats another big one
Glp1 may be a good option for someone who is very metabolically unwell, to get them on track. However, I would assert that it should only be temporary
Absolutely you make it the exact point that this video was trying to make
GLP-1s have far fewer side effects? What?
Your body produces GLP1 naturally how sick are you from your body what your body is already doing the side effects are related to a crappy diet not to the medication
Can you please do a video explaining insulin and glucose and how they work together. Also doa enzyme. Greatly appreciated and confused. 😊
Coming up
When glucose is enterally OVERsupplied the persistent storage hormonal milieu and poorly controlled hyperglycemia cause HARM OVER TIME.
When Hyperglycemia is because of CELLULAR DEMAND and glucose comes from internal stores the hormone milieu is quite different and KETONES are almost always present. Demand or utilization hormonal state governed by glucagon and adrenaline and as far as we're aware this does not cause damage and is rapidly cleared
@robertcywes2966 thanks.. still confused but appreciate your response! 😊
I was prescribed a statin. I absolutely refused to take it.
Me too. I have a zero CTAC score (done at the age of 65 eighteen months ago, 1 year after starting low carb), now metabolically healthy, yet cardio recommended statin. My LDL went up after starting low carb, but my trigs went down and HDL went up.
Me too
@@LeahZ777 Great! I find it encouraging reading others' stories and that they are advocating for themselves when there is such a strong push for us to take drugs.
Robert you know my fellow cardiologists are being pressured to use "safer" newer non statin drugs to lower ldl as well as use glp1 and sglt2 drugs. The wish is to be on all three. We touched on this a little in january. They want an ldl less than 40. I dance around this as well as i can, with "shared descision making" but public disagreement leads to cancellation.at least for a cardiologist.Notice how Dr Budoff did not comment at all about ldl. Keep up the good work
Less than 40?! Do they want us to dissolve into puddles on the ground or what?
@@juliesaadwellness ;-)))
I didnt say i agree with it@juliesaadwellness
Please do a video on the benefits of a PCSK9 inhibitor for someone like myself who had a heart attack and a stent emplaced. I'm on a keto-vore diet and have gone from 196 lbs to 168 lbs.
I want to know more about this too.
I was put on statins about 18 months ago even though my cholesterol wasn't particularly high it was to run along side my hypertention drugs as a precaution. But since I've been taking the Atorvastatin I've never really felt myself yes it's reduced my cholesterol but I feel spaced out weakness in my legs everything I do is a chore..so for 2 weeks I've stopped the Atorvastatin now wether it's in my head but I feel more myself so the predicament I'm in should I go against my doctors wishes and restart the statins or take the risk against his advice and discontinue taking them .
I was just prescribed atorvastatin, amlodipine, tamsulosin, and aspirin. Should I take the statin
Does anyone have a link to that study that he said was just published about LMHR?
They may lower cholesterol but do they stop deposition in the veins and arteries?
I've had a heart attack a year ago and due to not acting quickly enough have heart failure but my ej improved to 55/64 and I'm not diabetic..the cardiologist put me on dapagliflozin and I'm not convinced of it's efficacy, yes it draws the glucose out of my body but is that what's required? I'm actually more concerned of low blood sugars now as my carb intake is low
Set up a consult. It is highly likely that the cardiac damage came from hyperglycemia that may not have reached a diabetic threshold
Now I wonder if the semaglutides will be overprescribed like the statins. But, they are more beneficial so maybe not that bad.
Hallo Doctor C. I am a South African widow living in UK. Will be whatsapping you right now, for a consultation asap. 🇿🇦
I’m a South African 🇿🇦 widow living in South Africa. I can’t afford to go to a doctor. Been on statins for a long time, always looking to come off. Please share your experience with me sometime! Thank you. Dorothy
Thanks for your efforts. My doctor wants me to take statins. Side effects scare me.
Gives me alternate to suggest doc that he look at. This 😄 should give me time to change my diet. I’m a sugar addiction.
Your opinion , would use of hypnotist be worth pursuing?
Can recommend books about menus & diet. I’m convinced. Need practical books on how to do .
I was a sugar addict myself but not now. Once I started cutting out the sugar and carbs the cravings got less. This took 2-3 weeks but if you have a strong motivator it can help. I set a time for trying low carb to see if it would work to remit my diabetes; three months and my A1C was non diabetic (it's now been 2y 8m because I feel so much healthier eating this way). After only about 1 week I noticed that my sleep quality improved. I also started to lose some weight without trying.
Q: Have you had a cardio calcium score done?
I hope the following helps. *If you need any more, eg something more specific (eg cholesterol) please reply and I will try to point you to a video.*
Dr Ken Berry has a community that you can join for a small cost if you feel that you need support. There are other communities online; you would have to do a search for them.
I found it helpful watching videos. It can be a bit confusing knowing what to watch/who to listen to. These might help:

When I first started low carb I would clean my teeth after I had finished my meal. I would also suck (not crunch because it damages teeth) ice cubes.
I have been on very low carb, no sugar, two glasses wine per week and intermittent fasting 8/16 . Have been practising for 2 years now. I'm 68 kg, how ever my cholesterol is above reference value
How I understand it, high VLDL along with past damage is a problem.
Glucose
High triglycerides and high glucose go hand in hand...and the small dence LDLs are the dangerous ones to lower.
So in other words, one drug that was very lucrative wasn't given up on until there existed a new drug that was very lucrative to prescribe?
Patents equal profits 😊xx
