CHOLESTEROL - Why are my numbers so bad?? or are they??

We, as patients, need to do our research before we blindly agree with our doctors.

The following excerpt is taken from CHOLESTEROL CLARITY - WHAT THE HDL IS WRONG WITH MY NUMBERS. By Jimmy Moore

"“For women, the higher their cholesterol is, the longer their life; there’s a direct relationship between the two. Your cholesterol cannot be too high if you are a woman, but it can certainly be too low. We actually have a cholesterol deficiency problem, not a cholesterol excess problem. It’s hard for people to believe this because they’ve become so convinced that excess cholesterol is bad. They can’t even reframe their mind to think that way.”"

― from "Cholesterol Clarity: What The HDL Is Wrong With My Numbers?"

I have had high cholesterol for years and have been told time and time again to go on a statin. I have refused every time knowing that the side effects are horrible. I have done research and had further testing done to be sure that my health was ok and that my risk of any heart related issues was below minimal.

When we go to the doctor for a health issue, we are a consumer buying a service. If you want to ensure the best possible outcome, you need to be your own advocate. You need to do research, look things up, find studies and results. There are holistic ways around so many of the pills our “trusted” doctor’s are pushing on us. Yes, pharmaceutical companies are making a fortune thanks to the Doctors that are prescribing their medications. It’s time for us to be smart, do research and ask questions - LOTS of questions.

If you have been told you have high cholesterol and need to be on a statin, give this book a read. I am sure it will open your eyes. I cannot recommend it enough. Here is a link for the book - copy and paste - it is worth EVERY penny!
