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☠️

Expand full comment

They had to change the recommended total levels or there would be no reason to prescribe them.

I have this argument with my PCP. I told him I’m never going on a statin. My father was on them for 25 years. He developed a brain tumor, had bladder cancer and edema in his lower extremities. The NIH has known this for over a decade. All issues my dad had were caused by the statin drug. He passed in December 2022 all because his doctor said it would lower his cholesterol. ☹️

There is ZERO correlation between cholesterol levels and heart attacks in women, and onky an extremely weak correlation in men and ONLY in men who have ALREADY HAD a heart attack (and then probably only because Statins have a little anti-inflammatory activity).

A large percentage of people having heartcattacks have perfectly normal cholesterol (and LDL) levels.

Yes, it is all a gigantic SCAM!!!!!

Women with the highest cholesterol LIVE THE LONGEST!!!!

The response of a PCP to the statin scam is a great litmus test type question as to whether you should trust that person as an advisor with your health.

As a medical provider, I have to agree.

The AMA, the only path to get a physicians license here, teaches which drugs to prescribe for which symptoms. New drugs always coincide with the discovery of new diseases (viruses particularly) and the same symptoms are recycled for each one. The entire allopathic medical cartel is a scam when it comes to disease.

In 1989 Merck patented the combination of their Mevacor with Co Q 10 and never brought it to market. Their scientists determined the Mevacor as well as all statin drugs DEPLETES the essential nutrient. In addition, the statins can deplete the liver store of glutathione. Both detrimental to a healthy immune system,. They are still convincing cardiologists that you don't need Co Q 10 supplementation to this day. Criminal. They also continue to spin negative articles about the true value of Vitamin D which is essential for the functioning of about 3000 gene expressions when the human biology calls for turning on these specific genes and Vitamin D is the essential hormone for the process. Two examples. Deficient in Vitamin D, the new mother can't breast feed. If you are developing a cancer tumor, the immune system can't turn on E-Cadherin which surrounds the tumor and prevents metastasis. The true value of testing patients for Vitamin D deficiency is essential and ignored. Should be over 50 ng's and not the official NIH position that 20 ng's is sufficient. Wrong. May work for just bone health, but the need goes well beyond the bone issue. Great article. Also NAC which is a precursor to glutathione is available OTC and they are pushing to make it a RX drug. Criminal.

Have meet a number of widows who lost their husband because the were overdosed on a statin drug and the medicine man couldn't connect the dots. To this day, European physicians prescribe Co Q 10 if they prescribe the questionable statin drug. Also, Co Q 10 is essential to heart health. Not in the USA. I agree that statins and their detrimental effect on the immune system has contributed to the Covid con crisis. Let’s not forget the US Bio warfare budget is 88 billion and if you create a bio weapon, you need an antidote! They believe the experimental RNA injections are the answer. Covid was a bio warfare exercise in my view. Those harmed are just collateral damage in the scheme of things to stay ahead of our enemies! I don’t see an end in sight to this nightmare! Second: NIH et al. researchers went along with the goals of BARDA. Did the CYA all the way. Third: Frances Collins, the man that guided the unraveling of the human genome missed his leadership role of making sure the research was not done on a cavalier basis. Pfizer and Moderna are the poster children.. Fourth: Big Pharma jumped in with both feet and over 100 RNA project are under way! Five: Our leadership in DC has rolled over and is not demanding that we STOP all such research and encourage all other countries to do the same. My view!

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.

Expand full comment

I and many others had responded to that post by Dr. McCullough/statin endorsement because it was so out of left field, with all of the proof that statins are a hoax. There was a Substack uproar but I never saw Dr. C respond. Statins are a scam and this post here by Dr. Huber is genius in tying in sunshine/vitamin D and statins. Statins are much more dangerous than we thought.

Douglas, do you mind mentioning what your cholesterol numbers are? My personal problem was less with high LDL than with low HDL. I was at 35. I started eating half an avocado per day. Now my HDL is up to 48!

The reason some people may benefit from a very low dose of a statin is that they do have antiinflammatory properties. But that's only a good idea in certain cases. I personally would never take one, having seen my father die of dementia and a brother die of ALS after being on statins.

Expand full comment

My mother took a ‘low dose statin’ for over 20 years and she developed dementia. Her doctor always said when I would question the necessity of her still taking them in her 80’s with her doctor he said…”0h it’s such a low dose”!

That's awful. The terrible thing is the cause of the dementia can always be said to be something else. People and especially MDs are so totally brainwashed that high cholesterol is bad and statins are good. Americans have been avoiding saturated fats and taking statins and look at us. We look like an army of beached whales, with Type 2 diabetes and more heart trouble than ever.

Well…I can say that my mother’s grandmother, her mother, nor her 93 year old sister had or have memory issues or dementia in their old age. They didn’t take statins either! But my mom’s much younger brother (78) has memory issues and is now in a memory care residence. He has ‘heart’ issues and likely is on statin meds!

Dr Malcolm Kendrick in the UK has written a most informative book re statins.

Expand full comment

I stopped subscribing to McCullough's substack mainly because of his ghost writer, John Leake. Leake posted a really ass-kissing message to Germans..in German there. He was putting down the US and sucking up to Germans in his plea for them to reject the COVID jabs. I don't like a toady, especially one who thinks you can't read what he wrote so he goes after your country in a foreign language. I can read German, so can a lot of other Americans, so it was pretty stupid on his part. Slimeball.

Expand full comment

I wasn't aware of John Leake's message to Germans. Given that big pharma is substantially Germanic in origin I am not very keen on Germany. McCullough is on the board of the Wellness Company which sells pharma products despite pretending to be on the good side as it were.

Expand full comment

To be fair, big pharma has roots in France, UK, USA, Japan and elsewhere. Maybe the Germans just bring the same expertise they have with beer manufacture to the drug labs. Leake wrote a nonfiction book about a serial killer in Austria and it was somewhat interesting, in that the killer was a darling of the press in Austria who had trouble facing up to the reality of his evil. I read that thinking I might see some parallels with the press' refusal to see the evil done by pharma during COVID. It wasn't worth the read.

What was loathsome was using McCullough's substack to curry favor with German readers while crapping on the US, confident that none of the readers would be able to see his toadying for what it was. It was both greasy and stupid and I thought even if McCullough is on the level, he's being used by that little weasel.

As for The Wellness Co, I didn't like the idea of profiting off the fear of the virus. Your posts on the various compounds they offer are interesting. I've used ivermectin, keep it on hand, and have used azithromycin with no ill effects. But I'd never take Tamiflu.

Thanks Zade. My emphasis was substantially Germanic rather than solely. Of course it goes further back to the Middle East The thing is much of modern chemistry is Germanic and the biggest pharma co. is Pfizer. Founded by a couple of Germans.

Yep, my mom went down so fast as soon as they put her on them. Low blood pressure and no real need from what I could tell. My parents liked the attention they got from doctors, until their upper 60's lived very clean and no prescriptions. Once "they" get you it's hard to wake up.

It’s sickening what they do to our veterans. There was never a need for a vaccine, especially this one that has maimed and killed many people!! They all need locked up for intentionally harming so many Americans, but so many people are just brainwashed when it comes to vaccines. God gave us great immunity! To still be pushing this with all the information that has come out about it, especially the fact the FDA and CDC helped hide the Pfizer tests that showed many people died and were injured is criminal beyond words. All of them need prosecuted for crimes against humanity.

Expand full comment

A lot of veterans were under the mistaken impression that they could lose their health benefits if they refused the covid DeathVax.

There was so much pressure on us to get the shots. Phone calls, emails, letters, and implied or inferred threats from mini-Mengele VA employees.

During covid, we were forced to wear a mask at VA health care facilities or we would be denied medical care.

In what universe is that considered humane treatment?

Expand full comment

I understand. What they did was horrible. It wasn’t humane treatment and they didn’t care. Although my dad passed away in 8/2021, I still have many family and friends who go to the VA. I didn’t take him when the covid nightmare started. He hated wearing the masks and as an asthmatic, I can’t wear the ones they proposed. I made my own out of lace so I could breathe if I had to take my parents in to the doctor or hospital. I get all his emails and just ignored them. At one point in 2020, he got bronchitis and I needed an antibiotic and his VA doctor called it in for me, and didn’t try to force us to come in. I had been taking him for almost ten years and he knew me as well.

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.

Good for you. People need to stop being so meek with the docs.

i'm willing to bet that just as there is with vaccinations, there is likely a percentage of uptake driven financial incentives to medical practices to get their patience to take the statins. It's been a while since I experienced the push of the stat by my PCP, but I do remember him being quite insistent about it and from this cynical side of Coronamania that makes me suspect there was a financial incentive to it.

I did actually do some searching around after I posted that and while I didn't find exactly the same type of percentage uptake scheme related to the vaccines, I did find quite a lot of direct evidence that clinicians are paid handsomely by the manufacturers to prescribe these brand-name statins so it is confirmed.

In 20008 I had minimally invasive heart surgery on my mitral valve. Had a fantastic surgeon. Before I was discharged he said that while doing surgery he looked around at my arteries and he saw no sign of heart disease. He knew that my cholesterol then was 250 and said I didn't need to worry about it. The other thing was that there was so much regurgitation that my heart had swelled to the size of a large man. But, an echocardiogram 6 months later revealed that it had repaired itself to a normal size.

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.

Yes, I agree. Plus the PCR is so wildly inappropriate for diagnosing a case of COVID, that none of those stats can be trusted very far. Rather, I take COVID case counts to mean interaction with the medical system about that time for respiratory problems generally, which, yes, were likely greatly impacted by fearmongering.

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.

Those "side effects" are in the literature and in the MDPI. Pharmacists can tell us, too. Wow!

they are now, maybe they were then. Graveline's book was written 20 years ago. Just the fact that all his doctors told him "statins don't do that" indicates that doctors weren't aware that his symptoms could be caused by the statin. If they were written up and supplied with the drug, then you would think doctors would at least read the literature about the drug that Pharma supplied.

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.
