I resemble those remarks and discussion...

$ main arteries to the ventrical 100 percent blocked so bad they could not use the cutter on the camera they run up thru yer artery to open up a hole and passage to put a stent in.. Apparently my plaque must have been more like some type of hardened steel...
Doc could not believe I did not have some kind of major heart attack that would have been fatal with the lack of blood flow getting thru.

Actually, he was enraged about WHO said it was okay to have the hip replacement back in January. I should not have survived that surgery and died on the table.

I did not give up who did the pre-op physical because I knew there was going to be some repurcussions and I like my primary care physician.

So, I guess there is CEMENT type cholesterol and some good cholesterol?

How come I got the cement type? lol!!!!!!

Oh well....

Cardiologist Speaks Truth About Cholesterol and Statins

by Thomas E. Levy
TheEpochTimes.com


Is elevated cholesterol really a problem? In a word, absolutely! However, beyond that assertion, there is a lot about cholesterol that is little known or completely misunderstood. Elevated cholesterol levels feed the growth of obstructive plaques in the coronary arteries, and the higher the cholesterol levels, generally, the more rapid the growth of the plaques.

Very elevated cholesterol levels clearly increase the chances of having a heart attack as long as they are up, with the highest levels having the highest risks. So, significantly elevated cholesterol levels (280 mg/dL or greater) must be avoided at all costs.

Obviously, I want to get my cholesterol as low as possible, right?

Here’s Where It Gets Just a Little Complicated About Cholesterol Levels

Cholesterol levels rise because they are one of the body’s natural defense mechanisms against various toxins. The higher the toxin presence, the higher the cholesterol goes to help block/neutralize the increased oxidative stress from those toxins. So, more heart disease is aggravated as the cholesterol levels rise.

But … you don’t want to lower the cholesterol levels without lowering the toxin presence as well. Otherwise, you’ll just have more un-neutralized toxins in the blood and in the body, causing increased oxidative stress and damage wherever they go.

Then What Do I Do if My Cholesterol Levels Are Elevated?

What needs to be done is to identify your toxin sources, eliminate them, and take an antioxidant protocol that will neutralize the toxins’ pro-oxidant effects. If this is done effectively, cholesterol levels will normalize all by themselves, without the need to use anti-cholesterol drugs such as statins.

Isn’t it good to take a statin drug just to make sure that my cholesterol stays nice and low? Not really. When just the elevated cholesterol level is treated with a statin and no attempt is made to lower toxin exposure and/or to neutralize existing toxins with antioxidants such as vitamin C, your chances of cancer dramatically rise.

The lower your cholesterol levels go without addressing the underlying toxin presence, the greater your chances of cancer. Period.

Furthermore, in a 2013 study, it has been shown that long-term statin use is associated with increased risks of two different types of breast cancer, completely consistent with the long-established link between cancer and low cholesterol. Multiple earlier studies have conclusively shown that cancer risk increases as cholesterol decreases, whether from drugs or severe dietary cholesterol restriction.

So, What Is a Good Cholesterol Level, Anyway?

As a general guideline, when new toxin exposures have been properly addressed, and “normal” daily toxin exposures are all that remain, most adults will end up with a “normal” cholesterol level between 160 and 220 mg/dL. You never want a cholesterol level to chronically stay below 150 mg/dL.

The low cholesterol levels resulting from very strict vegetarian diets are probably the biggest downside of such a way of eating. Nathan Pritikin, the father of the largely vegetarian Pritikin diet, had been diagnosed with heart disease at the age of 41. His cholesterol was over 300 mg/dL.

After following his own diet, he eventually lowered his cholesterol to 120 mg/dL. However, he ultimately ended up with two different kinds of leukemia, and he finally committed suicide many years later.

At autopsy, he had achieved his goal of having notably healthy and clean coronary arteries. So, cholesterol definitely accelerates heart disease, and lowering cholesterol does help to resolve heart disease. However, the answer to elevated cholesterol levels is not to solely lower it with drugs and leave endogenous toxins unaddressed.

So, Statins Should Never Be Taken?

Yes and no. If your cholesterol is above 300 mg/dL and you refuse to address your toxins, such as the proper removal of root canal-treated teeth, you will probably live longer taking a statin and getting your cholesterol back into the mid-200 range.

But the toxins will still be doing their work, and your chances of contracting and aggravating any of a wide variety of conditions, including cancer, will be increased. And be prepared to deal with the many possible side effects of statins, including, but not limited to, muscle pain and damage, liver damage, digestive problems, rashes, increased blood sugar that could lead to diabetes, and a variety of neurological problems, including memory loss and confusion.

And What Do I Do If I Don’t Want to Take Statins?

Dental toxicity needs to be addressed, as well as digestive toxicity. High doses of vitamin C, in regular and liposome-encapsulated forms, should be taken on a daily basis, along with as wide a variety of other quality antioxidant supplements as can reasonably be afforded.
