There’s serious confusion about cholesterol; whether high cholesterol levels are responsible for heart disease, and whether statins – which are cholesterol drugs – are really the appropriate solution to reduce heart disease risk.
The documentary above, Statin Nation – The Great Cholesterol Cover-Up, sheds much needed light on this topic. The film is available for free viewing for only seven days, so please share it widely as soon as possible.
As noted in the film, heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, the most common form of which is coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD affects the blood vessels supplying blood to your heart, causing them to narrow, thereby restricting the amount of oxygen supplied to your heart.
The conventional view is that high cholesterol is a major risk factor for this condition – even children “know” that cholesterol forms plaque and is bad for your heart.
The focus on cholesterol has created an enormous market for statins; drugs that act by blocking the enzyme in your liver that is responsible for making cholesterol.

These drugs damage the liver and raise the enzyme levels that are makers for liver disease. I demanded that my doctor take me off of them after my high bad enzyme level test results. I slowly weaned off of them and now I have stopped all together and surprise, surprise, my liver enzyme levels have improved. What a colossal scam by Big Pharma.
