"Cholesterol Is The Most Important Molecule In The Body...Don't Blame Cholesterol For The Harm That Calcium Causes." ~Dr. Hal Huggins "1.5% Of Arterial Plaque Is Fat & Of That 0.5% Is Cholesterol." "90% Of The Plaque Is Calcium. So Where's The Problem...Calcium Or Cholesterol?" Cholesterol isn’t the enemy. In fact, it’s one of the most essential substances in your body. 60% of your brain is fat & 30% of that is cholesterol. Your hormones, cell membranes & nervous system all depend on it. The mainstream message that high cholesterol causes clogged arteries is fraudulent & wrong. Studies show that arterial plaque is mostly calcium — not cholesterol. Only 0.5% of the plaque is cholesterol. The rest? Over 90% is calcium buildup. Atherosclerosis Is An Inflammatory Disease, Not A Cholesterol Disease or A Statin Deficiency. Cholesterol is not the cause of the Inflammation that turns to arterial plaque & atherosclerosis. Eliminate The Root of The Inflammation Which Causes The Arterial Damage: Low Vitamin D Levels Magnesium Deficiency K2 Deficiency Calcium Supplements Industrial Seed Oils Processed Sugar Carbohydrates Insulin Resistance Ultra Processed Foods Smoking Obesity Environmental Toxins Poor Sleep Lack of Exercise Stress A whole food, low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils, processed foods & sugar, provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This lifestyle keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best biomarkers for heart health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be less than 1.5

We'll said.
COVID changed something in me that cannot be unchanged. Not the virus. Not even the mandates. What changed it permanently was watching every government on earth arrive at the same silence, at the same moment, and hold it for six years running. Nearly six years since the rollout began. Not one head of state has stood before their people and said: some of you were harmed, we know it, and you deserve an honest accounting. Not one parliamentary inquiry with genuine authority. Not one compensation framework built on the actual scale of injury. The vaccine injured remain without diagnostic codes in most countries. Without legal recourse. Without the most basic institutional acknowledgment that what happened to their bodies was real. This is what accountable institutions do after genuine public health emergencies. They review. They audit. They ask who was harmed and how. They produce findings that are uncomfortable because the discomfort is the point. The discomfort is how trust gets rebuilt. What we have instead is a wall. And behind the wall, people who lost careers for raising questions that turned out to be legitimate. People who watched their governments promote Long COVID with full institutional weight while refusing to ask a single honest question about overlapping presentations in the vaccine injured. The same symptoms. The same mechanisms proposed in the literature. The convenient frame that points in every direction except at the product. The coordination is what tells you the most. Individual negligence looks different. It is patchy. It is inconsistent. Individual negligence produces whistleblowers, outliers, one government that breaks from the rest because the political cost of silence finally exceeds the cost of honesty. What we have is not that. What we have is universal. And universality of this kind does not emerge from independent actors independently deciding to do nothing. It is decided. There is a particular cruelty in what this does to the injured. It is not just that they are uncompensated. It is that the silence communicates something to them about their value. That they were considered acceptable losses before the fact, and inconvenient liabilities after it. That the calculus was made, and they lost. The psychological cost of that message, delivered not once but every single day through continued institutional indifference, is its own injury layered on top of the physical one. The children absorb this too. They are watching their parents fight for recognition against institutions that will not move. They are learning what governments actually mean when they say they will protect them. They are developing a relationship with authority that no civics class will be able to undo. The universal silence of world leaders on vaccine injury is not the behaviour of people managing an honest disagreement about evidence. It is the behaviour of people who have made a collective calculation that the cost of telling the truth now exceeds the cost of never telling it. And that calculation, held simultaneously, across every major government on earth, is the most important public health finding of the last six years. Not what the virus did. Not even what the vaccines did. What the silence, together, reveals about who was making decisions, and who they were making them for.

How does a doc write in a note, all identifying names removed for privacy, how do they write the word “force” when discussing preventive care “options”. Last I checked “options” are just that, options are NOT requirements or mandates. We can continue the debate about whether statins should be in the drinking water and whether LDL should be outlawed in the comment thread below.

I luv EMR faxes that shorten senders names. Perhaps this fax is from a new combined specialty that fixes cataracts and hemorrhoids in the same visit??

It’s about time.
🚨 HOLY CRAP, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary CONFIRMED the FDA purposefully lied to the people for nearly 2 decades against dietary fats to help Big Pharma People avoided fat and ate MORE SUGAR, so Pharma could sell them more drugs RFK Jr. just declared open WAR on added sugar “They suppressed the data for 16 years…Those in the low-fat group had higher rates of heart attacks!” “We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, and burdened with ultra-processed foods, and what did we do as a medical field? Drugged them at scale!” “Those days are OVER. We are telling people the truth about food.” MAHA WILL WIN!

Anyone else get annoyed when they receive messages like this from the Healthcare Cartel? =========================================================== Hi, my name is Kate. I'm a pharmacist with Cigna Express Scripts. Regarding a patient who sees Dr. XXXXX. Patient's first name is James. Last name XXXXXX Date of birth, XXXX XXXX. It looks like this patient has recently started some diabetic medication. I don't see that he is taking a statin for his diabetes which is recommended for anyone who has diabetes, regardless of their LDL levels. So I was calling to see if that's something that the doctor would consider maybe discussing with the patient, see if that might be appropriate to add. If you would give me a call back to discuss, that would be wonderful. My Phone number XXX-XXX-XXXX Thank you. ========================================================== Anyone else find it interesting that a Pharmacist is allowed to try and compel a physician to sell their product to a patient? In what world would this work in any other industry?

You are what you eat. (Shocking revelation, I know.) I just hope you are not Rice Crispies in Soy milk..... Approach this with an open mind and maybe a tiny pinch of skepticism toward the stuff you were taught in school/home/magazine/that-one-loud-guy-on-the-internet. Weird truth about aging: most people gain weight as they get older… right up until the point the aging process flips the script and suddenly they start losing it (usually the parts they wanted to keep). Early in life we’re basically building a human from scratch: bones, muscles, organs, the whole starter home. → Protein = the actual bricks and lumber. → Fat = rebar, insulation, and emergency generator fuel. → Carbs = mostly quick-burning gasoline… and honestly, do we need quite as much of it as the food-pyramid priests told us in the 90s? Questionable. When you’re picking macros, the priority list is pretty straightforward: Protein (animal sources get the gold star—they come with the complete set of building blocks). Natural fats (yep, the animal ones again; sorry vegetable-oil fan club). Carbs — nice to have, fun to eat, not strictly required. Your body can run on protein fat for a very long time. Carbs are more like the optional part. Calorie zealots who count every gram of protein as “fuel to be burned” are… creatively misunderstanding human biology. Newsflash: we don’t store extra protein the way we store extra carbs (glycogen) or fat (love handles). Protein mostly gets bolted onto muscles, bones, organs, skin, hair, enzymes, immune cells… you know, the stuff we’d prefer not to cannibalize. The body isn’t sitting there going, “Hmm, biceps look tasty today.” It really doesn’t. Remember being a teenager? Bottomless pit of hunger, endless energy, growing like a weed? That was hormones screaming “BUILD!” Fast-forward to grandma & grandpa: hormones have mostly clocked out, appetite drops, muscle quietly sneaks away, bones get brittle. Different game. So the takeaway isn’t rocket science: If you want to stay strong instead of slowly turning into a fragile version of yourself, maybe don’t blindly follow the high-carb-low-fat-low-protein gospel that’s been failing people for decades. Instead: Eat plenty of protein (build the structure). Eat decent natural fats (support the structure fuel). Move your body so it knows where to install all that protein. Sleep like it’s your actual job. Stop marinating in chronic stress (it’s basically emotional termites). Do more of whatever actually makes you happy without wrecking you. My cheat-code plate: call it the IMW Plate 75/25 rule 75% of the real estate = protein fat (which surprisingly to many is more fat than protein) 25% or less = non-junk carbs. It’s not dogma. It’s just math that seems to make biological sense. I know, more Math. At least I didn’t make Math a verb this time, or did I? Bottom line: Not every bite you take is just fuel. A whole bunch of it is literally construction material. Treat it that way and your future self might send you a thank-you note instead of a medical bill for a hip replacement.

Why are insurance companies promoting treatments? I thought insurers were supposed to be mechanisms of payment to protect patients from large unforeseen medical expenses. I thought insurers were NOT supposed to be involved in providing the care. Seriously politicos. Why have you allowed insurers to be both the gatekeeper and decision makers on the type and quality of care people receive?

Question for twitter health people out there. How would you respond to @CVS pharmacy when they send me an electronic refill request for a patient who passed away a month ago? I replied "DENIED", with a statement, "Ummm... He died a month ago. Do you really want to renew this rx? How would you have responded?

I’m really really not happy with the state of hospital care in Cancer, mostly when it comes to nutrition. They are probably 40 years behind the times. This is what I recently saw being served to a Cancer patient in the hospital. Where is the real food? Where is nourishment? Have they not heard anything about fasting and ketogenic diets and their use in fighting Cancer metabolically? Our Traditional Oncologists are stuck in an old belief and can someone tell me why?

The accidental data that’s hard to ignore. Bret Weinstein’s analysis of the 80 Ivermectin Court cases reveals a mind blowing statistic. In the 40 cases where Ivermectin was permitted 38 survived. In the 40 cases where it was not 38 died. Using a standard statistical formula the chances that Ivermectin had no impact are roughly 1 in 20 quadrillion. As Weinstein put it - ‘like guessing a random 15 digit number on your first try’ Yet we were denied this treatment. This is one of the biggest medical tragedies in modern history!!
