I am absolutely certain that statins have been prescribed, because big Pharma makes a shit pot of money from them, so generations of medical students were indoctrinated that statins are critical and failure to prescribe them to a heart attack victim is malpractice. I have almost completely cut mine out, after suffering a heart attack. I used the acid watcher diet for a reflex problem and it resulted in cutting my total cholesterol and a half and my LDL in half. Mainly, I am oh, because it cut the inflammation in my body.
Use olive oil in place of margarine of any kind.
Use Real butter if you can afford it, sparingly.
Fake butters are a killer................
Congrats on your success, but be warned:
The so-called “acid watcher diet” is rooted in false premises and it’s framers/promoters do not understand either the endocrine system or the causes of acid reflux.
My doctor told me he was being forced to defend NOT prescribing statins to one of his patients by his medical group and Medicare. He gave no names of course but said this guy has a heart issue, he doesn’t have a cholesterol issue and doesn’t need it in my medical opinion and the patient agreed with him.
But, because he has so many codes in the system that fit the one size fits all version of healthcare this doctor was having to document why he wouldn’t prescribe a drug. The doctor then told me all they are using me for now is diagnosis, once I enter that the government and insurance companies follow the CDC guidelines for treatment and me and the patient are an after thought. He said if I had known this was the direction of medicine twenty years ago I would have went into business, I can’t wait to retire.
