Your body still needs Cholesterol. If you design a drug that completely blocks of the HMG-CoA reductase you run into all sorts of trouble. the best method is to regulate it with different statin dosages. It all great for someone who has not been in the medical field to scream conspiracy and fraud, it is a bit different when you consider the genetic make up of people. Cholesterol is needed by your body you cant turn it off and solve the worlds problems. You need to control it.

And when you say they make billions of dollars… Well yes they do… who pays for research? Who pays the scientist? who pays for the drs to be educated? who pays for future progress of medical industry? without Pharma companies there would be no medication! Think back 20 yrs when outbreaks of all crazy kind of decease were everywhere! Do you see that now? wait i think answer is no! because pharma companies develop a vaccine to solve all your problems. Have you thanked them yet? Because of them

me and my family get to enjoy a life with no smallpox, whooping cough, polio, measles, type b meningitis… who do u think funded all of this research and development? Do you even have a clue what pharma companies end up profeting after taxation, paying staff, paying research, payment of running and operating QC labs and the list goes on? Again.. who pays for that? the government? no! pharma companies do! they make sure ungrateful people end up living longer to bad mouth them further.

Now I know you are an idiot if you don’t think pharmaceutical drugs are toxic. They all are. From the most powerful prescription to the supposedly harmless over the counter drugs they are all toxic to the body. And let me ask you this. What did people do before all of these miracle pills came to be? And no one is suggesting to let anyone die of anything. I don’t care what you say or how much knowledge you claim to have,the primary source of bad cholesterol is animal products and processed foods.

This is exactly pharaceutical companies are a big fraud. Why do you think the FDA is so against natural treatments? Exactly,because natural treatments like herbs can’t be controlled or patented by drug companies therefore interferring with their profits. Doctorsgo to medical school and learn what drug companies want them to learn, which is drugs and surgery. They are not even required to study nutrition. It’s all about the money with drug companies. I don’t care what you say.

The only people that need statins are those with familial hyperlipidemia, where the total cholesterol levels reach 350 or higher. For the other 99.9 percent of us, we do not need to be worried about the numbers so much as the size of the particle, and that can only be regulated by diet. You do not want cholesterol molecules too small, because they will get stuck in arteries where nutrients would normally get transported.

When a cell or artery or anything in your body gets damaged, your body gets rid of it and has to make a new cell. YOU NEED CHOLESTEROL to build a cell membrane. So if you have high cholesterol, you are probably damaging your body in some way. Try not smoking, drinking alcohol, or ingesting fluoride, chlorine, fried foods, fast acting sugars, transfats etc, as these all cause arterial and cell damage.

Also, taking a statin to lower your risk of heart disease and get rid of plaque is not logical for another reason; rhabdomyolosis. So you think that high cholesterol clogs your arteries…so that means your heart needs to be stronger in order to move blood past those ‘plaques.’ But if you take something which weakens your muscles, and your heart is a muscle, you weaken the heart, which means blood is not pumped as efficiently….

Did I mention plaque is mostly made out of calcium? Also, SickRussian, Type 2 diabetes is entirely cure-able, managable, and usually your own damn fault for eating crap. No, its not genetic. I hate when people say ‘I’m diabetic and fat because my parents were.’ I say ‘No, your fat and diabetic because you adopted the same lifestyle that made your parents fat and diabetic.’ And as far as your liver is concerned, its not out to kill you. This would be counterevolutionary.
Yay fat!
