1/9 Oh WOW a chink of light in the darkness on the Repatha/Praulent Cholesterol lowering forum. Gives me hope !

“While on Praluent, my eyesight was getting bad. I didn’t associate it with my Praulent shot. Due to insurance issues, I had to halt my shots for a few weeks.

2/9 Magically my vision grew stronger. Has anyone had this problem ?

"Funny my vision has been off as well-- about when I started Repatha. Never connected the two"

My comment: The plasma membrane of the human eye lens fibre cell is unique in its enormous

3/9 cholesterol content, which increases, over time, to a level that is incomparable with other tissue/organ cells. If you reduce your cholesterol via Praulent by 50+% your vision will suffer. Much like those people who take Statins and suffer cataracts etc.

4/9 I think you have to understand the toxicity of the drugs you are taking (aka Praulent/Repatha), and also the fact that high LDL cholesterol does not cause heart disease. What causes heart disease is high insulin, infection and inflammation. Neither Praulent or Repatha

5/9 will save you from Cardiovascular disease. A change of diet/lifestyle will. You need to add good saturated fats to your diet, and eat REAL food. Not low fat food, and seed oils. Unfortunately we have all be misled. It's up to you to do the research.

6/9 Final comment from a Praulent user: "it's good to hear someone talk sense. Most on this site won't listen. They believe what their docs tell them without their own research. After nearly ending up in a wheelchair due to Statins I decided everything was going to be researched.

7/9 I can't tell you how many disagreements I've had with my docs. They don't even know what the drugs do. Only what the drug reps tell them. You gotta dig deeper. I've been on Praulent for 7 months after much resistance. I agreed to try it after my double bypass October 2020.

8/9 It did lower my total cholesterol from 491 to 241. I was supposed to take an injection yesterday. I didn't. I have to see if it's what's causing severe leg cramps all night long, every night. I'm thinking so. I didn't have any last night.

9/9 I’m doing Keto now. I'm staying on it. Everyone who pushes plant based, low fat needs to read The Plant Paradox. Anyway, thanks for posting Marion x"

(good result for me. Someone out there is 'listening'. I planted a seed ❤️
