1/4 Is this what you want for yourself ?. " I was prescribed statins & noticed horrendous side effects almost immediately. Muscle pains & weakness, inability to concentrate, lack of sleep &, most terrifying of all, deteriorating eyesight, I spent several months a year in
2/4 South India doing humanitarian aid work so I asked the opinions fo some Drs there. The eye surgeon who had done my wife's Lasic Surgery checked me every year for cataracts. Year one; there was a shadow ... Indicating a future problem
3/4 ( I was then about 55 ) .Next year it was far worse and what he asked me shocked me deeply " You have macular degeneration; are you taking Statins" ? . " Er, yes" . "You need to make a decision; continue the Statins and lose your sight; or discontinue them! I was sold!
4/4 When I returned to the UK... I ordered this book (Serial Killers: How Statin Drugs Really Lower Cholesterol (Made Easier!) Cholesterol is VITAL and it can be controlled by DIET; you don't need Statins ! I never looked back. (pardon the pun) 😃

1/7 For more than 30 years a controversy has raged between the pharmaceutical industry, the health services and independent doctors & scientists over the use of Statin drugs. It affects the health of millions of members of the public who are increasingly confused by conflicting
2/7 arguments over the safety and efficacy of Statin drugs which are already prescribed for over 7 million people in the UK alone.

Geoffrey Galley (a scientist and entrepreneur) stepped into the middle of this seemingly unsolvable dispute and provided us with a remarkable
3/7 solution which should be equally attractive to those on both sides of the argument. Instead of accepting what would be an unmanageable adjudication of the vast body of scientific and technical information underpinning the case made by each side, he proposes an INDEPENDENT

1/ What you need to know. The benefits of Statin drugs have been widely exaggerated, and any benefit of these drugs has nothing to do with their benefit of lowering cholesterol.
2/ Depletion causes muscle pain, weakness & fatigue. The brain depends on cholesterol to function optimally. Cholesterol helps stimulate thinking & memory.

Statins lead to a reduction in SEX hormones. Sexual dysfunction is common but under reported side effect of these drugs
3/ There is evidence that Statin drugs may be associated with a higher risk of Diabetes & Cancer. (I think I can prove that association)

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
