Recently statins benefit was found to be due to it’s anti inflammatory property quite modest though, on par with aspirin. Omega 3 long chain fatty acid outperforms stains by a long shot. Natural dietary and supplements of anti inflammatories and antioxidants minimize LDL oxidation as well as inflammation. Only oxidized LDL will become part of plaques but only part.

This video is a huge step towards the full story about stains and vascular disease. I wish to add: the many form of initial injury (cholesterol is not one of them) that provokes inflammation that sets in motion the cascade of events ending in atherosclerosis. .

Remember the word …
Remember the word balance when you do exercise because there is such a thing as too much exercise. That’s the complexity of this amazing machine the human body that we’ve all inherited. Balance is key… too much water, too much exercise, too much food definitely a no go.
Statins do lower …
Statins do lower cholestrol, but they raise a lot of people’s liver enzymes. Not enought to cause damage but that’s what happens in most cases. I understand that some people are gentically predisposed to getting high cholestrol what happened to exercise and eating healthy. people now days just want to pop a pill and not have to work for the resluts. I lowered my cholestrol 45 points from exercising and eating right daily. It took me 8 mths but i got it down w/out any drugs.
Funny thing, though …
Funny thing, though, is that she acknowledged that my LDL and triglyceride levels were okay, but it was the HDL of 24 which was concerning her. I wonder if there are specific dietary or exercise regimens I can start to raise my HDL without drugs.
Yeah, I am starting …
Yeah, I am starting to look into the effects of statins drugs because I recently started taking one. It is part of a triad of health problems I was diagnosed with: hypertension, Type 11 Diabetes, and low HDL levels. At the time, I didn’t think too much about being prescribed a statin (pravastatin) because I was in pain from the diabetes and and if the doctor said I had a cholesterol problem I took her at her word.
I’ve been on …
I’ve been on Lipitor, then switched to simivastatin. I have had serious digestive problems and leg pain since taking them — about 6 months. I’m a little worried about stopping because my doc told me it can be dangerous to stop…and would be a lifelong medication. I am just going to taper down and quit. I’m making the best lifestyle changes that I can — stop smoking, exercise, eating mediterranean type diet, and EXERCISE some more.

Yes, he did talk about HDL and LDL, at about 2:25.

Well said and done. Fortifying these message are the studies of Dr. Ron Rosedale and Dr. Mark Hyman and recent publications by the New England Journal. Bravo!

I doubt medicare covers chiropractic. Private insurance in the US is very strict though.
Private insurance in the US will not cover homeopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine or even nutrition consulting, etc. It pretty much only covers conventional medicine, physical therapy, chiropractic and psychiatry.
One reason it will often cover chiropractic is because it’s often effective and much cheaper than conventional approaches such as surgery or life long pain meds.
Thank you, …
Thank you, psychetruth.
Does Medicare cover chiropractic treatment in the same way as they cover conventional medicine?
It doesn’t get recognition here in the Netherlands or some other countries I’ve been such as Australia.
Insurances (here and elsewhere) cover all kinds of quackery including homoeopathy so I doubt that this is a reliable guide of whether something is reliable and scientific treatment or not.
Both medical …
Both medical doctors and chiropractors are licensed in the state they work in. Chiropractors have to get a doctorate degree in an approve college of chiropractic. They are considered doctors. Chiros are the most recognized and accepted form of alternative health by conventional medicine. Insurance companies will often cover chiropractic treatment.
Despite that, he is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist this is a person with a degree in nutrition and post graduate work in bio-chemistry.
So, what are the …
So, what are the qualifications of chiropractors in the USA.
It’s not a university course recognised by the state, is it?
Is he allowed by law to call himself DR. if he doesn’t have a genuine university degree?
Not criticising, just questioning because I don’t know about the USA education system and there are a lot of quacks around that we have to be aware of, as well.

I had horrible side effects with Lipitor. my body aches a lot. I’m not sure if the pain is muscle. I can’t sleep at night because my back aches like crazy. I told my doctor that I refuse to take Lipitor.

I did consider a major in bio-chem when I was
in college…I’ll take a closer look at clinical
nutrition in regards to sound medical practice,
and thanks for the return comments from all who
responded!

After watching a further video by this poster,
I am going to rethink my position. It is indeed true that I haven’t to date been “injured” by bad med practice or advice; however the restrictions placed by the AMA
on what is considered to be “acceptable” medical practice, plus the across the board
rejection of alternative healthcare providers
is beginning to cause me a bit of concern.
A very valid …
A very valid information. The case of misuse of pharmaceutical drugs is indeed a contentious topic and is one that should be looked at seriously. Westerners have become far too reliant on excesses regarding drug implementation.

Its so great that we finally have the drugs that all these sick children need in order to be healthy again! I mean whats the alternative? Have them eat right and exercise pfff yeah right! LOL I am just glad we have an easy fix.

Rather than an authoritative source, the benefit of this channel is to raise awareness of topics neglected in the media so that the viewer might be enticed to do further research on their own.

He’s certified in clinical nutrition which means he has post graduate training in bio-chemistry.
This guys information is very solid.
go to the college …
go to the college of chiropractics website and look up the trainings chiros get compared to MDs, and while you are at, ask yourself what makes you think someone with an MD is a better messenger than a chiro? What you think MDs don’t lie? Think MDs are totally impartial? Think being an MD means you are never wrong? Think MDs are never misinformed and always current on the latest studies? I guess you have trust in the title *MD* because you have never been injured by bad medical advice or practice
Awesome awesome …
Awesome awesome video! This is just another medical scam like childhood bipolar and childhood ADHD, folks, Big Pharma creates diseases where none existed before, than they come out with a non curative *maintenance* drug that you are supposed to take forever to deal with their artificial health scams. Then you get iatrogenesis. You are not patients anymore, you are consumers and your doctors get drug pamphlets and they *sell* those drugs to you for pharma at the office visit, thanks Vincent!
Did you see where …
Did you see where Big Pharma is now going after kids to take statins? Unreal!
