This is the worst thing you could ever do for high cholesterol

Despite the mountain of evidence disproving their effectiveness or even safety, statin treatments are still being given out as means of controlling cholesterol…

Supposedly because they lower the risk of cardiovascular events.

Worse even, scripts for statins continue to increase, independently of new research advising against their use.

Statins are lipid-lowering treatments which suppress the so-called “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

The problem is that this is based on a dated perspective of LDL cholesterol, cardiovascular risk, and mortality:

“High LDL-C is inversely associated with mortality in most people over 60 years. This finding is inconsistent with the cholesterol hypothesis (ie, that cholesterol, particularly LDL-C, is inherently atherogenic).” – Ravnskov et al. (2016)

From the perspective of endocrine physiology, cholesterol is understood to be a very protective substance.

Cholesterol is also the precursor for the biosynthesis of the important steroid hormones like testosterone, progesterone, and DHEA.

Furthermore, there exists a negative correlation between thyroid hormone and cholesterol levels.

Indeed, thyroid is necessary for the metabolism of cholesterol and the subsequent biosynthesis of the protective steroid hormones.

Therefore, high cholesterol may simply be a sign of hypothyroidism.

Without adequate thyroid function, cholesterol cannot be metabolized and therefore just accumulates in the body.

Accordingly, thyroid supplementation can usually lower cholesterol levels quite rapidly:

“… a first wise step is to determine whether there is thyroid deficiency before proceeding to other measures, for often correcting the deficiency will lead to reduction of the cholesterol concentration in the blood.” – Broda Barnes (1976)

“By the mid-1930s, it was generally known that hypothyroidism causes the cholesterol level in the blood to increase; hypercholesterolemia was a diagnostic sign of hypothyroidism. Administering a thyroid supplement, blood cholesterol came down to normal exactly as the basal metabolic rate came up to the normal rate. The biology of atherosclerotic heart disease was basically solved before the second world war.” – Ray Peat (2006)

The suppression of LDL by statins is unphysiological, is not safe, and does little to improve the health of the person.

By substituting statin treatments for thyroid supplementation in the form of natural dessicated thyroid…

A man would simultaneously lower his cholesterol levels…

While also improving his metabolic rate and hormone production, and largely obliterating the risk of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems.

That sounds like a win to me across the board.
