Statins, Cholesterol, and the Real Cause of Heart Disease
- Despite decades of statin use costing approximately $25 billion annually in America alone, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, suggesting the cholesterol hypothesis that drives statin prescriptions is fundamentally flawed
- Studies show that lowering cholesterol with statins does not reduce heart disease, and yet these findings are ignored while statin guidelines are created by experts paid by pharmaceutical manufacturers
- Malcolm Kendrick's clotting model provides a superior explanation for heart disease: atherosclerotic plaques result from repeated damage to blood vessel linings which the body repairs with layers of clots
- The medical establishment dismisses widespread reports of statin injuries as "nocebo effects," paralleling how COVID-19 vaccine injuries were dismissed as "anxiety," despite extensive evidence corroborating the injuries
- The actual causes of heart disease — fine particulate matter from pollution and cigarettes, lead exposure, chronic stress, and endothelial damage — receive minimal research funding because effective interventions cannot be patented and sold as expensive pharmaceuticals like statins
