Here's something Pharma won't emphasize to you or your doctor:

"[S]tatins have a very high rate of injury. For example, the existing studies find between a 5-30% rate of injuries,19 and Dr. Malhotra, having gone through all the existing evidence estimates that 20% of statin users are injured by them.

Likewise, statins are well known for having a high percentage of patients discontinue the drugs due to their side effects (e.g., one large study found 44.7% of older adults discontinue the drugs within a year of starting them, while another large study of adults of all ages found 47% discontinued within a year)."

What follows is an excerpt from an article by "A Midwestern Doctor," a Substack I follow closely:

Despite decades of statin use costing approximately $25 billion annually in America alone, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, suggesting the cholesterol hypothesis that drives statin prescriptions is fundamentally flawed

Studies show that lowering cholesterol with statins does not reduce heart disease, and yet these findings are ignored while statin guidelines are created by experts paid by pharmaceutical manufacturers

Malcolm Kendrick’s clotting model provides a superior explanation for heart disease: atherosclerotic plaques result from repeated damage to blood vessel linings which the body repairs with layers of clots.

The medical establishment dismisses widespread reports of statin injuries as “nocebo effects,” paralleling how COVID-19 vaccine injuries were dismissed as “anxiety,” despite extensive evidence corroborating the injuries.

The actual causes of heart disease—fine particulate matter from pollution and cigarettes, lead exposure, chronic stress, and endothelial damage—receive minimal research funding because effective interventions cannot be patented and sold as expensive pharmaceuticals like statins.
