Ep:337 CARDIOLOGISTS PROVE THAT STATINS HAVE NO BENEFIT!! Part 2

my cardiologist prescribed statin for me and I told him I wanted more tests before I do. He poo-pooed doing a CAC test and said he already knew how the test would come out and he would still prescribe the statins. He actually said "I'm the doctor and you need to do this if you don't we're going to have trust issues" I guess he doesn't realize trust is a two way street. Now i'm on the hunt for a new cardio doc.

Thank you for this information, I am a carpenter in Canada that stopped taking statins 2 years back and have had great health improvements since then and eating carnivore with some fruit. Large list of improvements.. It has been obvious to me the carpenter for 2 years that low carb and a clean diet is the best option, most people don’t want to here this information and I have been shockingly insulted for my opinion. Especially when I suggest that sugar is one of our greatest problems. Thank you for your time.

I’m a physician who agrees with you. I also get nasty letters from pharmacies and insurance companies complaining that my patients are not taking statins

I had a stroke at 43 and was put on statins. Horrible side effects. Debilitating. Researched and took myself off, landed on carnivore and healthiest and happiest I've ever been at age 60yrs! They told me I would most likely die from a fatal stroke if I did this. They were so wrong. Thanks doc! It's people like you that I found online that I think saved my life and restored my health and wellbeing!❤

So glad! One more video to share with people who are afraid of cholesterol and told to go on statins!

My cardiologist is DO and I am thrilled that he doesn't push statins. When I told him I refuse to take them, he just smiled and said ok.

So if we know that diabetes significantly increases heart disease, and we know that some statins significantly increase diabetes, and we know that statins provide insignificant absolute risk reduction against heart disease, don't we then know that at least some statins should be immediately pulled from the market?

I'm in Canada and I have had a triple bypass. I have a friend who I discovered talking to him also had a tri bypass. He is 5 years younger than I and I'm now 74. I hadn't talked to him in several years when he told me about the bypass. I said to him my suspicions about sugar being the problem and said to him "I guess the have put you on a statin now" and that they are not effective. His reply was "I've been on statins since I was 35 years old" I promptly said. "Well you shouldn't have needed a bypass then". I have been trying to get to people that its the sugar and insulin resistance that is damaging your arteries but nobody is listening. My own doctor is insistent that I go on a statin and I just ignore him. I will get my bloodwork done and consult with you.

Thank you so much for this! If there were only more doctors like you.

Great video doc. Just more confirmation of what we already knew. Statins absolutely do work....in the context of lowering LDL...unfortunately that doesn't change or improve your risk of dying of CVD

Well Doc, when we meet in June you will know more about myself and your impact. Recently just retired and will take a year to get my heath back before I start a new career. Bio as follows 48yr male. June 12th 2023 was 486lbs, high blood pressure. Yes addicted to carbs and junk food, not diabetic but most likely insulin resistance knocking on diabetes door. Blood work not great. 290 cholesterol and fatty liver. A1C was 5.9. I decided to try online health service to get Mounjaro from hearing stories. PCD wouldn’t prescribe when asking because of my A1C was good. I decided to cut carbs down big time, started eating healthy Whole Foods. Absolutely no processed food. I stared at the box of Mounjaro in the fridge. Took several weeks to get the courage to give myself a shot. Last week in June tried it, was really helpful in my food chatter while making proper decision's(first week the inflammation was down so much, felt 20 years old again). Over the months incorporated MCT oil in coffee in the morning. Started 2 meals a day. Noon and before 6pm. At the end of October, started intermittent fasting and realized I was really doing a keto diet. I have never went above 5mg of Mounjaro, and I stretch the shot out to 8-9 days. Been incorporating carnivore and more fat this past month. Today I weighed 366, A1C 5.1, cholesterol down to 220, blood pressure 108-118 over 68-76. Heart rate from 97-104 down to 68-74. PCD now realizes Mounjaro helped me, wants me to start taking Statins because he wants Cholesterol down under 200, didn’t before. I won’t take it. He also wants me to titrate up to 15mg Mounjaro. Won’t budge from 5mg, it’s working, I won’t abuse it. So my appointment is with you June 2024, I feel confident you will steer me in the final chapter of getting my health finalized and come up with my exit strategy to get off Mounjaro. Also my inflammation is down, walking 1-3 miles 2-4 times a week, started light weight lifting. When I see you in June, hopefully I will be around 250lb-270lb and will be guided by you in my health journey.thx

Thank you! I’ve been bullied for a decade or more by my doctors for stating the same thing you just said!

I’m seeing an interventional cardiologist on December 5th. I’m going to play this video for him if he gets out of line before I fire him.

My doctor just today insisted I take a statin. I’m following your advice and picking it up from the pharmacy but NOT ever taking it.

If they were willing to address & treat Diabetes 2, they know they’d bankrupt themselves 😮 Those who sell the pill 💊 sell the panic 😂

I agree with you 100 percent. My opinion comes from my own experiences. I suffered brain fog, depression, body aches, i was a mess, told my dr I’m not taking them anymore. He tried to frighten the hell out of me if I went off them I faced heart attack or stroke. I said so be it, I can’t live like this anymore, I never looked back, my life is back to normal, no brain fog, no backaches, no depression. I also know others who 23:08 have had the same experience.

Pity you didn’t talk about the harms statins do , muscle pain, 25% of people becoming type 2 diabetics after 5 years etc. This is all about $$$$

I agree. LDL is a non-issue. We should better be obsessed with metabolic syndrome.

New subscriber... My type 2 diabetic husband was on statins for 2 years. After we did much research, he got off of them, with our doctors blessing. He also is exercising & doing low carb. His last a1c was 5.2! Thank you SO much for your content. We are in our 60's & living our best life.

The fact they are so dogmatic about their lipid cvd beliefs that they won't even believe their lying eyes is disappointing.
