I would highly recommend listing to the interview that Dr. John Abramson gave on the Joe Rogan Experience which is free on Spotify. There are a few more podcasts featuring Dr. Abramson that are also worth listening to.
Russ, this was one of your best, and most timely, videos to date. Two years ago, I had two different cardiologists gaslight and belittle me for asking questions about the efficacy of statins, even in the setting of secondary prevention. The one guy told me that the "science was settled" on the topic of statins being a miracle drug. The second heart "expert" fired me from his practice because I would not take high dose statins for my CAD. I felt very sad and disrespected because of how these two "professionals" treated me. I thought to myself, "aren't these guys aware of SHARED DECISION MAKING"? As you alluded to in this video, the days of "eminence based" medicine needs to be replaced with "evidence based" medicine. Please keep up your outstanding work on behalf of us patients just trying to maximize our cardiovascular health.
My Dad stopped taking Lipitor and his memory quickly came back. My parents were greatly relieved it was just from the statin and Dad was not developing Alzheimer’s
I took control of my own health about 8 years ago after a diabetic nutritionist told me it was ok to eat the equivalent of 50 teaspoons of sugar per day. I have yet to find any study not done by a drug company that can correlate the total or LDL cholesterol numbers with heart issues, but I can find a lot of stuff about the side effects of statins. And after the last 4 years I am simply hesitant about the entire medical community.
@@mystatinfreelife It is not just that person. That is the ADA recommendation. 3 meals per day, 45-60 carbs per meal and 2 15 carb snacks. Add it up. And understand that 9 of the top 10 donors to the ADA are pharma companies with the tenth on being BD that makes things like syringes and needles
Russ, thanks for the video. I am so glad that I found your videos before my doctor started prescribing statins. I still can't believe this all started with rabbits feed inappropriate food for rabbits.
Hi Russ, Thank you for your work-you truly are a life-changer for many people. I'm a medical student, and I’ve personally become interested in this topic. I sometimes review and go over related materials, but during our studies, we never really had discussions or seminars about cholesterol. Instead, we were taught that it's harmful. We were told that cholesterol enters the arterial epithelium from the bloodstream, causing inflammation, foam cells, and atherosclerosis. If we see a patient with LDL levels above 100, statins are usually considered, and if there have been episodes of cardiovascular disease (CVD), we treat the patient aggressively until we lower LDL to below 70. Some professors even joke about aiming for zero LDL!
Medical schools teaching cholesterol is harmful. Wow. Never understood why doctors blindly follow what they are told without questioning. Critical thinking isn’t part of the curriculum.
Every my attempts to get from my doctor the source of her date on statins benefits were miserable. It is exactly as described! We know, trust us, but no data for you.
Why even go there? The expensive private doctor my mother said "as more as people go to the doctor as longer they live" and his neighbor who is well over 90 who ladt saw the doctor when the Nazis drafted him.

If only doctors could just hear themselves. I think that will be an upcoming topic.
Thank you! My cardiologist absolutely sees the clothes, I however no longer see him!
The med school exam requires that students see the emperor’s clothes to get a passing grade 😊

Yet mainstream medicine (=Big Pharma) insists statins don't cause memory problems. Good to hear his issues resolved by getting off them.

@johnsonpaul1914 wow. That's 800 calories from sugar per day. I wonder how many people that nutritionist has killed.

Doctors increase stress in life by not staying up to date on studies and insist you take statins. I am going through this presently.
A doctor can only recommend something. I decide.
Great. If I don't agree with you, I'm a science denier.
Yeah,make asn in depth discussion on that paper.
