Alternatives to statin medications that help lower cholesterol without side effects

Statin medications are considered the cornerstone for pharmacological cholesterol reduction, but not everyone can tolerate them.

My dad died an incredibly painful death from a statin. It caused acute pancreatitis, which destroyed the rest of his organs, his necrotized pancreas perforated his intestines, and he died painfully with his intestinal waste seeping into his abdomen. If this description doesn't make you run the other way from statins, then I don't know what will. Stay away from them at all costs.

Note: He never had pancreatic issues, never had a heart attack, was prescribed the statin for cholesterol and family history of heart disease. He didn't want to be on a statin and didn't understand what he was taking was a statin, but his doctor failed to communicate that the drug was a generic for a name brand statin. If he had known this, he would have refused to take it. My dad would be alive today and would have walked me down the aisle at my wedding if it weren't for the malpractice of that doctor. My only comfort is knowing there's a special place in hell for the doctor who prescribed him that poison. This life is short, but eternity is long.

There are 7 bad side effects of statins. She only mentioned one. There is a video here on YT. Cataracts and diabetes are 2 of the 7 side effects.

If only there was a study to show CVD-benefits to ezetimibe without statin paired

Doctors will tell you the benefits of taking statins outweigh the risks.. My doctor never informed me of the risks and the damage statins do. Muscle pain damage, etc. Every individual is different, but there seems to be a lot of conversation regarding statins and the reduction of quality of life!
