There is increasing research that shows a high carbohydrate diet is actually responsible for cholesterol plaque, not fat. Cholesterol is also very important for brain function and many other organs. It is the small, dense LDL which is bad, but when you eat a low carb diet, the LDL is bigger and fluffier, hence not a problem. Cholesterol is very important to our body. Having a high cholesterol level is not necessarily bad, it's the type of cholesterol which is more important.

My husband had 2 stents placed for two 99% blocked arteries in 2012. He then went on a low fat whole plant based diet. In 2015, a nuclear stress test showed no heart disease. His total cholesterol is 124 and with no prescriptions. He takes two berberine, 1 red yeast rice, and coq10 daily... No statins, no blood pressure meds, no beta blockers. We take brisk walks together and he has no heart symptoms.

[@didyuknow]

how about treating the cause instead of shutting down cholesterol production in the liver to lower cholesterol? How about looking at what is causing the high cholesterol? BTW: LDL is not the issue. The issue is oxidised LDL. What causes that? how about treating that? Too many doctors still following 30 years old "science". Do you know that depending on a persons diet the cholesterol level changes ? (i.e. more carbs or more fat). high carb diet may kill you with inflamation and early cancer and yet your cholesterol may be low, whereas a high healthy fat diet may increase cholesterol as the body uses it to transport the fat. Calcium deposits in the veins/heart valves is a bigger issue and it is killing people at pandemic levels each year. How about looking at what causes that? hint: Low vit K2 is a good start. Statins stop/lower cholesterol natural production in the liver. Besides cholesterol it stops co-Q10 and testosterone production. Co-Q10 is an anti-oxidant. Co-Q10 takes oxygen inside the mitochondria in the cells to produce energy. If cells run low in oxygen/energy they can become cancer cells, which rely on fermentation instead of oxygen breathing. What feeds cancer cells? sugar. What a recipe for a disaster. How is health in our society today? statin and other commitee ideas have failed so many, besides raising sugar and making more and more pre-diabetic or even type 2 diabetics. Time to go back to health producing natural habits instead of drugs to regulate things in the body to fit under an imaginary number someone decides to use and change as years go by. We have a healer already inside of us, given by the Creator. All we need is to feed it what God created and not what the industrial food complex produces.

[@joyceelmer131]

Dear didyouknow Very well said! Most Drs aren’t even aware of this. (Dr Ken Berry MD wrote a book. “Lies My Doctor Told Me”.)It’s very good & informative. Also Statins rob the brain of Cholesterol,causing Dementia. Dr Berry’s book says what you said.

I just can't imagine that cholesterol lowering drugs are doing the brain any good since the brain requires cholesterol. Also, the production of vitamin D in the body requires cholesterol (the molecule name is cholecalciferol). Statins are over-prescribed according to Dr. Sinatra, he only prescribes them under specific set of conditions. People in their 30's with no heart disease are getting prescribed statins for basically the rest of their lives. Oh, and without the addition of CoQ10 the heart muscle is being directly harmed by statins, which is incredibly ironic, and complete insanity that there's no plan whatsoever to get people OFF the medications.

[@pennybrown677]

He needs an anti-histamine that doesn't cause drowsiness - they are some. Also, check the dose of Crestor. The side effects are dose related and Dr Attia says no one - or hardly no one - needs to be on high dose since you can get 80% of the total benefit at the very lowest dose.

[@kctechie]

Years ago my doctor prescribed a statin. I asked how long will I need it? The rest of your life was her answer. I went home and looked up the possible effects. Big pharma stopped looking for cures many years ago and now only creates lifelong drugs. I threw the medicine in a drawer and changed my diet, started eating healthier, cleaner, exercising more. My next checkup the doctor says you're cholesterol looks great. The statin is doing it's job. I told her "well.. surprise, but I never took it. Didn't want it. Refuse to be on a lifetime medication if I can avoid it. I just changed my diet " she said "well okay then keep it up. Is working"

I was taken off nicotinic acid as at 750 my I was getting stomach pain. About 3 yrs ago I was persuaded to try Crestor, 1 or 2 a week leading up to everyday. Well on the occasion I took them everyday I couldn't walk, get dressed or do anything but fall asleep so I stuck to 1 or 2 a week. I thought that I had altzheimers my memory is so bad, I've not been for a walk since Christmas I'm so stiff and desperately tired I fall asleep crocheting. My stomach is dreadful especially middle top. I've let everything go. I was always busy and couldn't switch my brain off and now I can't switch my brain or my body on. I'm desperately depressed.

Hope you are doing ok , I've just got my blood tests back high cholesterol but don't want to go on statins trying to naturally lower it. I've cut most added sugar out and carbs , carbs turn into sugar so no more pasta and bread for me . Only have 2 pieces of good quality bread twice a week instead of 12 pieces every week. Been listening to Dr Paul Mason from the Low carb down under learnt so much from them.

I've been on a statin for close to 20yrs...Dr's have never tried to remove it from my regimen. Is it possible to get off from it now to take a different path to benefit my organs, or am I simply too far gone?

I recommend following Dr. Sinatra, he wrote The Great Cholesterol Myth and he has great tips on his website. He suggests doing the Keto Mediterranean diet (salmon, olive oil, etc) and taking the Awesome Foursome supplements: Magnesium, Carnitine, CoQ10 and Ribose daily to maintain energy the heart requires and especially to repair damage after a heart attack or bypass surgery.

I have hereditary high cholesterol. Nothing I can do to affect that.

I have always had high cholesterol, it’s also in my family….it’s not my weight, it’s not my diet I eat very healthy…no matter what Dr Said I should be on statins. No thanks.

How about C.R.P. #'s if good, no bad heart history, low Tryglecerides, eats mostly vegetarian, very little grains, no sugars.

I have read several doctors say that the real issue is not cholesterol but inflammation. I have reduced this greatly in my body through special treatment and diet. No more red meat, selective foods that do not raise inflammation, moderate partaking of those that can affect inflammation. Also, alot of walking at least 3-5 times per week of an hour, going up and down hills. Can i drop my statin now - 20mg crestor - or decrease it by half? I get painful muscle cramps in my thighs most nights, and even some pain in my hip joints. Many thanks

[@janeteddddd]

Terrible med. Weak and painful legs. Heart irregularity. All symptoms eventually went away when I stopped med.. take control of your health. Research and question everything. Your body..your choice.

[@dianamarie1652]

What about natural cholesterol supplements like bergamot, red yeast rice, plant sterols??? I have high cholesterol but don’t want stains

[@3n1man4]

If not very high elevation you're better off doing a lifestyle change (like Ketogenic, etc), look into quality krill oil supplements, because long term side effects can cause other issues that will prompt Dr to prescribe even more pills... Suggest watch Dr Berry or Dr Axe on KZbin

It is your body. Trust what it feels llike. I stopped generic Lipitor after 2 weeks. It made all my joints sore, legs weak. I eat mostly the Mediterranean but no meat or chicken - just fish.

I do have high cholesterol yet my drs don’t put me on medication for cholesterol

[@mariloureiko5108]

Hi, Jeannette. You are lucky that your doctor did not prescribe you a statins medication. Many people had changed their diet into a plant based. This doctor advice to take berberine or niacin (vit. b3). Vitamin d3 with k2 and walking. Some says, Omega 3 and avoid carbohydrates.

[@egreen2032]

What about high ldl due to KETO doc?

[@karenmessinger9609]

It may have raised as a result of your cells releasing the LDL that they have stored. It should go back down. Your liver I believe it is, is flushing it out so to speak. If your HDL is high then it will cover the temporary higher LDL. I hope all that made sense.

[@risa4781]

Hi. Does vitamin k2 help with cholesterol?

[@michaelgallery4582]

K2 may not help cholesterol levels but it will help your arteries to stay less calcified

Doctors learn nutrition 1 hour in all years of med school, My nutritionist w a master's in Biochemistry has us either take • legume beans 1/3cup 3x/day or • 2 tsp psyllium husk 3x/day • OR TRADE OFF - THREE SEPARATE TIMES PER DAY. TO REMOVE FATS AND FATTY TOXINS LIKE NITRATES FROM GI SYSTEM BETTER. - Research "Enterohepatic Circulation System.". THIS WORKS. I DROPPED TWENTY POINTS OF LDL CHOLESTEROL IN TWO/2 MONTHS!! BUT I ALSO • DRANK GOOD WATER a gallon a day. • NO SUGAR or EXCESS CARBS. (IN FACT I JUST GAVE UP CARBS OTHER THAN BEANS.) •.ANIMAL PROTEIN DAILY. LEAN. MEAT, POULTRY, SEAFOOD, FISH, OR EGGS. • NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS • STOP CAFFEINE! Gradually. IT JOLTS all your systems and makes you hungry. • Aerobic exercise not needed. Walking more is good. • SLEEEEP! 8-9 HOURS A DAY, NOT NECESSARY TO DO ALL TOGETHER. • LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR STRESS REACTIONS. I SOUGHT THE LORD JESUS. You CAN KNOW you have eternal life! 1 JOHN 5:13 It can't be earned by religious deeds or baptism or "doing more good than bad" Ephesians 2:8-9 • Romans 3:23 • Romans 6:23 • Romans 5:8 or John 3:16 and then • Romans 10:9-10 💜🤍💜
