1/ Pomegranate Juice (PJ) is one of the few "trendy" health foods that actually lives up to its hype. Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology suggest that long term consumption of Pomegranate juice may help slow ageing and protect against heart disease. /2

2/ In a study published in the American Journal of Cardiology, 45 patients with heart disease drank either 8 ounces of Pomegranate juice or 8 ounces of Placebo for 3 months. The pomegranate juice drinkers had significantly less oxygen deficiency to the heart during exercise /3

3/ i.e. increased blood flow to the heart. Pomegranate juice has the ability to inhibit oxidation of LDL Cholesterol (Remember that LDL-C is only a problem when it's oxidised), and an impressive number of studies have demonstrated a beneficial effect of PJ on CVD health, /4

1/4 Hope I'm not boring you folks, but shall continue to Tweet real life cases of those who decided to use Repatha to lower their LDL. “I’ve taken 7 doses of Repatha. I have been experiencing extreme weakness and pain over all of my body. I have very high cholesterol.

2/4 My doc felt this wonder drug would help! All this drug has done is ruin my zest for life!! I’m totally exhausted all the time my vision has become very blurred. Just doing normal daily activities has become very burdensome! It has drastically effected my quality of life!

3/4 I almost called 911 three days ago as I honestly felt my life was slipping away. I couldn’t stand, couldn’t function!! It took 2 hrs before I was able to walk without feeling like my legs were rubber!

1/4 Lower LDL at your peril folks, here's another damning indictment of that wonderful life saving drug Repatha: “First, let me say that my cholesterol has been creeping up over the years to mid 200's, since I was pregnant in my 30's. I am now in my 70's.

2/4 In the last 3 years, I tried to inject Repatha. In the first year, I injected five times in five months, & my cholesterol plummeted down to 160, but I felt weak. More recently, I had one injection in September and another in December. The injection in December turned me into

3/4 a cripple. I went to see a few Docs who prescribed Prednisone to get me over the intense pain in my hip joints. It is now 4th of July weekend, 2021. In SIX months time, I am ALMOST back to normal. It still hurts to pick things up off the floor, and to bend down to put on my

1/4 I wonder if you realise how much your Doctor/Cardiologist is influenced by the Pharmaceutical industry ? I’ve noticed a worrying trend since the birth of PCSK9 inhibitors (aka Repatha/Praulent), whereby patients are deemed to be FH.

2/4 FH is a genetic condition, passed on to you by one of your parents. FH is commonly diagnosed based on clinical criteria; (therein lies the problem). People are being diagnosed WITHOUT genetic testing despite the fact, there is genetic testing available.

3/4 The genetic test should identify mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene, the apolipoprotein B (apoB), or the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin (PCSK9) genes. Now isn’t it just convenient that the majority of people I’ve spoken to

1/4 After all the statistical/epidemiological "studies" posted in the general news almost on a daily basis, that lead people to believe things that aren't proven, it's a breath of fresh air to find some scientists who insist on using the scientific method.

2/4 It seems like the majority of investigators, especially when it comes to nutrition, are more interested in headlines than real, believable scientific discoveries. We need scientists who hold feet to the fire, pointing out where so many have fallen into the trap of relying on

3/4 associations, rather than doing the hard work of science to determine causation. Those "statistical shortcuts," resulted in the awful effects that many had to contend with when taking Statins for an imaginary "cholesterol problem".

1/6 Michel de Lorgeril explains in his book “Sham Science and Bad Medicine” "as a scientist my job is to analyse and critique theories." And that's what he does - in a highly readable, engaging, entertaining and sometimes shocking way.

2/6 De Lorgeril pulls no punches as he describes "the history of the Cholesterol theory" as "an uninterrupted series of lies, orchestrated by an intensive propaganda that became increasingly sophisticated with time." He details the lies, the propaganda, the spin doctors,

3/6 the scam, and the crimes against humanity, trial by trial, drug by drug, company by company. You read about data having been hidden and results having been manipulated and find yourself wondering why people aren't in jail. (Sorry folks but the same goes for the vaccine).
