Statin Dangers: Why You Need Cholesterol with Dr. Peter Osborne


Listen Later

Traditional heart disease protocols, with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol, have been a disaster from the start. Science has shown that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat, high-carb diets, and serious side-effect causing statin medications, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years, based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the billion-dollar-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry. 

Now they have a new target market: children. Yes, you read that correctly, children. I have been seeing this egregious trend for quite some time now. Which is why this episode is so important, and I encourage sharing it far and wide. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Are statin medications worth the risk?
  • Why you need cholesterol
  • Should cholesterol be lowered?
  • How and why it is your responsibility to be your own wellness advocate
  • The seven fundamentals for improving your health
