The best-selling class of drugs of all time took cholesterol to dangerously low levels, which deprived the immune system of its most essential molecule, vitamin D.
Before statins a recommended total cholesterol level was 300. Once statins were available it dropped to 200...with no scientific support. This is why I say Doctors are glorified Drug Reps☠️
I have been ambivalent about statins for years. A couple of months ago Dr. McCullough, who I admire greatly, endorsed the use of statins in a general sense in one of his Substack articles. That persuaded me to continue my doctor's Lipitor prescription which I had stopped because of the chorus of experts like yourself who have been courageous enough, like Dr. McCullough, to present a contrarian view on medical issues. But your article demonstrates persuasively to a layman like me that statins harm the immune system and reduce the body's ability to make essential Vitamin D. I don't want to harm my immune system any more than I already have from all the toxins in processed food and all the toxins in the air and water and the modern electromagnetic environment and now the poisonous "vaccines" which I thankfully refused. I want to live more as God intended and I want to preserve the Eden that God provided. Until I can be persuaded otherwise, no more statins for me.
Thanks to statins, my brilliant-minded father got dementia from them and it was too late to reverse it after I learned he had taken them for 25 years! I took him off but he never should have been put on them with cholesterol under 200 to begin with!
Last Doctor Appointment my Cholesterol was 200. And he says I should start taking Statins. I said, are you nuts? 200 is perfect. Even 250 is ok. He didn't like it. But I think he knew I was right. He's just spouting off what he was told to do.
In olden times when the Eskimos lived largely on whale blubber they often had a cholesterol count of 350, yet heart disease was unknown among then until they adopted our modern diet.
Great article. I was on a statin for about 10 years leading up to my open heart surgery (CABG x 4). Along the way, I suffered from stiff muscles and brain fog, not knowing it was the statin causing these side effects.
In addition to printing out this article to give to friends who are on statins, The Statin Damage Crisis by Dr. Duane Graveline is another excellent resource that could help convince someone to stop taking the poison. Dr. Graveline, a doctor who initially believed the hype, experienced some of the worst "side effects", so he looked into the biochemistry of statins. One thing I remember from the book is that when he told his doctors of his symptoms, their reply was always "Statins don't do that". The arrogance, the hubris, underlying that response indicates how completely brainwashed most of our medical professionals have become.
DR. DUNCE DEBORAH BIRX: "So, I think in this country we've taken a very liberal approach to mortality."
Admittedly off the cuff, and not to discount your depth of work here but I suspect the significant majority of deaths being attributed to US is an artifact of the purposeful data crime used to foment as much fear as possible to support the emergency declarations and suspend our rights and steal the election. Not to even delve into the iatrogenic harm impact nor the vilification of any useful early treatments, which along with disregulating Vit D synthesis made plenty of people vulnerable to all manner of respiratory distress.
I resisted my GPs insistence on Statins for years until I stopped seeing him.
Another clue to central planning: primary care practices are reimbursed better by Medicare/Medicaid if they follow treatment guidelines on a high percentage of patients. That's where the pressure for statins and other stuff comes from.
Look for independent physicians and, if you can afford it, go to one who charges cash or provides monthly fee (direct care practice). Some will bill insurance for some things, most will not, but you will get the care you need, and you can ask them for a billing sheet with codes on it and bill your own insurance.
My friend Dr Maryanne Demasi drew my attention to the Statin Scam. Her Catalyst special on the Australian taxpayer TV network ABC was withdrawn due to BigPharma thugs.
Excellent article, thank you! I've bookmarked it for future reference. The level of propaganda--no, outright lying--that has been going on in the Medical/Pharma complex for decades now completely boggles the mind. Covid has finally made it clear to many that we have been fooled big time by these criminals and it's been going on for a long time.
Logically if we think about it, how can ANY "medicine" that works by blocking enzymes (which is what almost all Pharma products do) be anything but poison? Our medical system and their Pharma overlords work AGAINST the miracle of human physiology. It's obvious they don't trust human physiology, that they are playing God thinking they can improve on God's perfection.

Thank you. Brilliant analysis. My cholesterol is at 289 as well at 68 years old.
Love the way you tie in the fear of the sun, with all of the problems and health issues.

Reading Dr. Huber causes a side effect of my brain spinning around inside my skull but it's a GOOD side effect!
Beautiful work, thank you for writing it!

Excellent, comprehensive, fact-based article. I will share and hopefully open some minds.
This is an outstanding article!!!!! Thank you!

First, it was the Medical Home - sounds cozy, eh? https://www.aafp.org/pubs/fpm/issues/2007/0900/p38.html
Followed by Pay for Performance measures

They then tried to have her PhD taken away.
