Healthy until last years blood test came back with elevated cholesterol. Doctor pushed atrovastatin. Went downhill from there.

I'm really sorry. My mom was killed in a auto accident when she was 46. It will be hard for a while but but just remind yourself that you'll feel better in time.

The stuff they give people for cholesterol is so much worse for them than just having moderately elevated cholesterol. Plus cholesterol itself is not bad for you, its a secondary byproduct of the true problem which is diet. Cholesterol is the repair molecule and janitor of your body and its production is increased when your body responds to illness, stress or injury.

The drugs they give you wreak havoc on your kidneys and liver. The mentality is like putting people on chemo for things like food poinsoning.

The misinformation is astounding. I'm honestly surprised some doctors can live with themselves - the majority of them are dumb as bricks though, so it's to be expected I guess.

They're basically glorified memory banks. They have almost no desire or capacity to investigate root causes or further their understanding of anything, and most have no clue about nutrition and it's effects on the body.

Dietary cholesterol is not bad for you, and neither is cholesterol itself, like you said.

Sucks for OP :(
