   Big Pharma 101…why eat properly (low carbs) when you can buy indulgences (statins)?

   To get off statins and lower cholesterol, requires a change of diet. It is that simple.

   Eliminate as much as possible:

   1. White sugar and sugary processed foods
   2. Carbohydrates derived from flour eg breads, cakes, biscuits, pasta
   3. Seed oils which include sunflower, canola, soybean, etc

   Basically eat a protein and saturated fat diet.

   The food industry and big pharma are in bed together. They want people sick.

   A little late to the party, Fully – I started telling my doc statins were nonsense and a con job over 20 years ago.

   And then they built a “testing/analysis” system to measure cholesterol levels that would lead directly to prescriptions for statins.

   Too, too evil.

   I looked into this more than 15 years ago after my doctor put me on statins for slightly elevated cholesterol levels.
   This doctor also prescribed statins for my wife, and her cholesterol levels were even lower than mine.

   Statins were developed for folks with extremely high cholesterol (genetic issue). They were very effective for this small sector of the population.
   At some point, I believe the pharmaceutical industry got greedy and began to push this product on the general population.
   Studies done in Europe indicate that while statins may reduce blood serum cholesterol levels, the risk of heart attack increases for some people.

   Anyway, I was skeptical and stopped taking them after a year or two. My wife still takes them.

   All part of treating the symptoms and not the condition. It is what the pharma companies are all about. If you watch the constant bombardment by pharma companies for all their drugs with TV commercials and listen to the disclaimers, the conditions they are treating are not life threatening like skin conditions etc. but the side affects from the drugs are extremely life threatening. They play on peoples desire to make cosmetic changes while hooking them on continuous drugs that keep the money rolling in and endangering peoples lives.
