Whether you have diabetes, heart disease or dementia...atherosclerosis is there. An almost universal risk factor. But, why? Let's review the evidence that nobody is talking about.
Thank you for validating my research into the cholesterol lie and the statin lie, and the relationship of heart disease to inflammation. I am especially hateful of statins. My dad was on them for years even though I tried to convince him and my mom to get off of them. My dad had all the horrible side effects and suffered with them for years, totally losing his quality of life.
This is excellent and I completely agree with your assessment. It is incredible how mainstream medicine, and cardiology in particular, cling to this absurd cholesterol theory, and continue to harm patients by blocking the mevalonate pathway with statins. Patients must just say “No!”
I suggest you do as it manages to be scientific and also funny. He is also on podcasts - so you could find him that way but the detail is in the book. He won £5million damages from the Daily Mail in the Englush High Court a couple of years ago - he sued for libel after a big pharma/Oxford Uni funded hit piece had been written in the Mail claiming Dr Kendrick was responsible for 100s of thousands of deaths by suggesting people shouldn’t take statins. The Judge agreed with him! My hero and a lovely man x
I have been waiting a long time for you to tackle this issue head on. I have very high LDL cholesterol but excellent triglycerides, HDL and lipoprotein (a) and a Coronary Artery Calcium score of 0 at >55 years old. BMI around 22. Fit, active and low carb diet. I fit the profile of what has recently been termed a "lean mass hyper responder". Nevertheless, my PCP and cardiologist insist on a statin because of their hyperfocus on my LDL cholesterol. It seems mainstream medicine is still wedded to the LDL-is-always-bad hypothesis. However, researchers such as Dave Feldman, Nick Norwitz and others, and now hopefully you, are poking holes in that theory. I look forward to reading more from you about this topic.
Sounds like me ..great fibrinogen and c reactive protein too…high ldl ..great HDL and Trigs… I will never take a statin which destroys health… then they diagnose more issues from the statin and they prescribe more drugs. It’s a scheme….
Same here. Although my calcium score is 100. My endo also wants me on a statin. No thank you. My conclusion as far as the doctors I’ve encountered is that are not researchers they are fixer’s exclusive to the whole patient approach. If it weren’t for Dave Feldman and Dr. Bernstein I’d be in big trouble. Both on YouTube. And aside from that resource Remnant MD has been a treasure to find.

sorry to hear that, Patrice
Thank you

Have you read Malcolm Kendrick's "The Clot Thickens"? It's brilliant stuff in line with your own thinking Remnant, and the book is amusing too x
People tell me about this book all the time, but I have not read it XD

The amount of motivated reasoning on this topic is only topped by vaccinology.
They just can't let of of the notion that cholesterol is not the cause.
Or a "causal factor"
Or a "risk factor"
Or "strongly correlated."
It's never ending.

I have similar numbers to you except I have high Lp(a). Plaque score ZERO. 58.
