Basic truths mean nothing to the drug pushers. Plaque is created by inflammation and not cholesterol. The 2017 NIH research paper called: Lifestyle Medicine: A Brief Review lays it out and is ignored by mainstream medicine. You make money treating the symptoms, not stopping the root cause. True of autism and many more conditions.

That’s not all they manufacture. I saw my back/SIJ doctor Thursday and when I read his notes I was appalled! Total lies!

It is stunning, isn’t it!? I’ve experienced the same thing.

I saw a cardiologist recently,, wanting to rule out something, which everything turned out great… He offered one of the cholesterol, lowering drugs again, and I declined… Again!

His demeanor changed in a nanosecond when he realized I was not going to buy what he was peddling… It was amazing to watch!

I have a story about a previous cardiologist too. I had a heart event called Takotsubo. He wanted to put me on Statins and I won't take them. He got mad about all the vitamins I am on and said "oh you are just peeing them out." His behavior was shocking. I fired him.

Ditto!! I fired mine too… Never again!

I trust allopathic medicine, and the doctors practicing it, about as much as I would trust a pack of rabid wolves. 😡

Haha! Yep, it makes me never want to see another one.

They are arrogant children.

I don't go to any doctors anymore

Yeah they look at you like you are nuts when they are actually the nutjobs!

Exactly! I recently had knee replacement. My surgeon actually had the gall to tell me that he thought I was getting dementia because I disagreed that he had told me something he had not. I told him that I've had doctors say they said something in our previous appointment and I went back to listen to the recording of that session and they didn't say that. So maybe their memories are the problem. That shut him up.
