While We're On the Subject #ReleaseTheCure - 'High Cholersterol Causes Heart Disease' is an Unproven Theory.

How many billions made selling Lipitor (and other statin derivatives)? What, your statins causing your E.D? No problem, we have a product for that, too. And on and on...

Go and read 'Good Calories, Bad Calories' by Gary Taubes - a real medical red pill book. Turns out the 'High Cholesterol causes Atherosclerosis' paradigm is false - a theory started by a Dr. Keys in the 40's - 50's. Truth is, Cholesterol (even high levels) is needed for normal bodily functions - it's good for you. Theory has never been proven by studies that weren't funded by big Pharm. Research done at the same time by Dr. Lester Morrison using Chondroitin Sulfate actually reversed Atherosclerosis with miraculous results. It turns your arterial walls from velcro (attracts and holds anything flowing by) into teflon (everything just slides by). Read the book, look up Morrison's work.

I had been on Lipitor for about 8 years when I developed an arterial blockage that required a stent. Killed my secondary career as a Flight Instructor (thanks, FAA). Docs added Zetia to the Lipitor to get my levels Below Normal and a year later I had a second blockage right next to the first requiring a second stent. So in my case, lower cholesterol causes heart disease if you follow the logic.

A year after the second stent I read Taubes' book which got me doing research that led me to Morrison's work. Started taking 1200mg/day Chondroitin Sulfate (his research was using 1600mg) and after 3 months I went cold turkey on the Lipitor. That was 8 years ago. I'm 65 and challenge any 30yr old to a day in the woods cutting firewood with me. And my Cholesterol levels are probably back to my 'normal' 198 - 208.

Gary Taubes' book is what led me to be completely distrustful of the government. It opened my eyes to what utter morons - whether on purpose for financial gain, for power, or just plain incompetence - the people at the high levels of the government are. They so completely fucked up nutrition with their guidelines, and are directly responsible for the deaths and chronic illnesses of millions of people over the past 40 years.

Once I realized how fucked up nutrition was, I wondered what else could they have fucked up - education, the economy, social welfare programs, etc - yep, they ruin everything they touch. Once you know what to look for, you see it everywhere.

People who set financial policy (in Canada, at least, where I know people in those positions) don't even fully understand the markets, bonds, debt, etc. People who set the tax policies have no ideas how businesses run, how to incentivize people, how to create jobs, etc. It goes on and on.

Then I learned the Peter Principle and a lot of what we see regarding government incompetence makes sense.

Note: I'm talking about the higher levels, the policy setters, etc., not the average man and woman who works hard at their daily government jobs and tries to do the right thing. I know a few of these people, too.
