Statins are a scam. Big Pharma latched on to this 40 or so years ago. They are not necessary.
The body makes its cholesterol, about 3,000mg a day. Both HDL & LDL are good. They deliver
what is needed for good brain health. Ever since doctors started pumpin' this stuff into people
(mainly over 60) there's been a huge spike in Alzheimer's and deaths from the disease. The
standard generalized lab tests most of us get once a year with our check-ups mean little with
those generalized cholesterol, HDL & LDL figures. The Tri's matter. That's about it. It's not about
the LDL number you see in the results. I started requesting my doctor give me an NMR test for my
cholesterol (LipoProteins). This one tells you the CONDITION of the LDL particles.
Are small & sense? Not too good. Are they large & fluffy? Excellent. You could have sky high LDL
and as long as the particles are in good shape, you're in great health and your LipoPtroteins
are getting delivered to your brain and other areas of your body that REQUIRES daily deliveries
of good quality LDL.
I'll post more on this in a bit.
