I have wanted to write a post on cholesterol for a while now especially after reading so much crap posted by so called experts in the field of health. If not daily then at least weekly there is another article condemning this much needed requirement for good health.
if makes me so mad to see misinformation in the media, be it TV, radio or the internet rammed down the throats of the uninformed public, it is so dangerous to constantly take statin drugs to lower cholesterol.
i know in this country (UK) and my previous home for 11 years the USA that the percentage of church goers is rapidly diminishing, however I think there is still a large population of believers in God. That being said let me ask you a question. “Do you think God would have made mankind to be inherently faulty”. Well my thought is no he wouldn’t, so why are so many misinformed people screaming about something they know so little about. Cholesterol is natural, approximately 45% of it is made by the body.
A large percentage of the brain (25%) is cholesterol and 23% of the cell membrane of the red blood cells is cholesterol, without it they couldn’t flex and contort and get through the various capillaries which could then result in heart attack or stroke.Cholesterol.
Cholesterol is guilty by association, if you did a survey on the accidents in your local town you’d find that with every motor vehicle accident there is always an ambulance present. So if you take away the ambulance which is the common denominator would there be less accidents. Obviously not, but that is what’s happening with cholesterol.
Cholesterol is the second biggest natural detoxifier in the body, Albumin being the first. When you have toxins and contaminants in the body, Cholesterol is sent by your body to remove them.
So by taking statin drugs to lower cholesterol you are just creating an environment in your body that allows the bad guys…toxins to run riot. The body can’t cope, you have a heart attack or stroke and the doctor claims that you addressed the problem too late. NO….what you did was remove the body’s own natural defense.
Cholesterol is not broken down into good and bad cholesterol or HDL and LDL. Cholesterol is there for a reason and there is HDL, LDL and VLDL or very low density lipoprotein and they all have a very specific role to play in the body.
LDL which is constantly being touted as bad cholesterol is actually very important, it combines with bilirubin in the blood to become bile which is then used to break down foods into digestible and absorbable components or to be excreted through feces or urine.
I doubt my little article will make a difference to the majority of people but if this can help one person then I’ll be happy.
