Statin drugs are inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase, thereby inhibiting steroid synthesis via the mevalonate pathway, blocking production of steroid hormones. This includes protective progesterone, pregnenolone, DHEA and their metabolites. You’re better to suffer high cholesterol than the side effects of statins. Oxidized cholesterol taken from atherosclerotic plaques are esterified with oleic, arachidonic, docosahexanoic and eicosapentanoic acids. Highly reactive, inflammatory polyunsaturates are the problem in cardiovascular disease and arteriosclerosis.

The largest study ever conducted, regarding this class of drugs, showed that they actually degraded cardiovascular health. In order to achieve the same level of health as someone in the control group, drug-takers needed to exercise vigorously. Your body needs cholesterol.

The reality is that there's no good/bad cholesterol, just trans fats & the cells that transport/store them. Trans fats are utilized poorly, causing arterial plaque & oxidization during oxygen transport.

My doggie is dying of that right now. My condolences! It's a difficult thing to watch.

It seems that's a common problem.

Stay safe guys! Try to fix things naturally before depending on drugs!

Gosh, that's too young. I'm sorry for the loss of your mom. I hope you have family and friends IRL to lean on while you're going through this.

High cholesterol is caused by a low fiber diet. The body recycles cholesterol in the gut. Fiber absorbs it so it can be passed rather than recycled. Eat more fiber. Exercise isn't enough.

Cholesterol is a thing your own body manufactures so that your muscles will work. They poison people in order to reduce their serum cholesterol. It's insane.

I would have died similarly - a congenital disease PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease), and had I not gotten a kidney transplant, I would be dead now. But I did get a kidney, 1/31/2006 and still going. You did not indicate why she passed, disease (such as diabetes or other). My heart goes out to you, but also know that perhaps she had a situation she was born with. I agree, take as little as possible processed food or medicines - but genetics have the last say many times meanwhile, as do virus, as is a current situation we are ALL facing that is fearsome. May God give you some peace when you need it, and how wonderful you loved your mom so much. That is not always the case in families, as you know.
