Cholesterol Drugs and Cancer (Part 2)
צפיות 1,028
Did you know that, in addition to clogging your arteries, cholesterol is actually good for things like making sex hormones and Vitamin D, which the body needs to absorb calcium?
To combat high cholesterol, statin drugs such as Lipitor are now being seriously discussed as a possible cause of many of today's incidences of cancer. Pantethine, which is related to Vitamin B5, on the other hand, has been shown to lower cholesterol by as much as 37%, with no side effects.
And so, instead of statin drugs, why not give Pantethine a try?

You have to always question everything. Even with "experts," you still need to ask questions and use critical thinking skills. Blindly accept things and bad things eventually happen.

@QuantumKoala Holy shit, I've never heard of this before. Thank you, again...

@PeterGunztv No, I've not heard of him, or his book. But thank you for telling me about it. I'll go check it out on amazon.com right now.

Well, aside from the climate, how do you click with the people and the culture up there? Because when you like the people, it can compensate for an awful lot. I say this because I actually FLED from the Pacific Northwest last year, and it saved my life. My body was literally dying up there -- not only from the awful soggy darkness, but also from the unfathomably pretentious, tribalistic and downright stupid people up there, all of whom I absolutely hated.

I can imagine that's true.

Well, that's good for you... if you run better on less meat, and you notice that, great... Also, some people's physiologies might actually process meat better than others, I think. I myself run much better on a vegetarian-seafood diet, with mild carbs...

Well, there is high cholesterol and low cholesterol.. goodies and baddies.. but if your arteries are all choked up with cholesterol, it seems that not much blood is going to get through. And it is the chunks of cholesterol (fat) that break loose and mess up your brain, that are probably the most dangerous.. as in stroke. My cholesterol is fine.. I think high readings are a product of some kind of disease.. I eat much less meat than I used to..

yep... you can live relatively cheap, just stay off junk foods. also, glad to see the video narrator worked his way out of the blues.

I thought so. Try switching to romaine lettuce, and I think you'll notice the problem disappear... the lettuce problem, that is. The sleeping problem, I don't know.

Cholesterol is the biggest scam of the century. Your body produces high cholesterol because it needs it. Don't try to force its production down with pills. The reason why cholesterol is in your arteries is to heal them. Get Good Calories Bad Calories by Gary taubes

I read about it in Peter D'Adamo's "Live Right 4 Your Type"... it's the second in the "blood type diet" books. It's listed first as an excellent cholesterol-lowering compound. Soy is also listed!
TheLogicJunkie 12 שנים לפני
I don't know, but you might seriously want to pick up a copy of "Live Right 4 Your Type", and read up on the rationale and proposed mechanisms, to decide for yourself. Also, have you noticed if you have the same problem with both iceberg lettuce AND romaine lettuce?

DAMN. I knew it. The more I talk about a statin-cancer connection, the more I hear back from people testimony to support the idea. As far as his kidneys and liver go, he might want to look into the natural supplement "milk thistle" -- it's supposed to be outstanding for healing the liver and kidneys.

Actually, I did live in Los Angeles for about eight months... I liked it, but it was kind of lonely.

That's the second brave act: to put aside any tendencies to feel humiliated and inferior because we are having to remediate ourselves. But why should we beat ourselves up over that? Even the most expert people of any skill, only became expert because they started out at a good, solid, non-threatening level of child-like fundamentals. And, so, that's what I'd say is the challenge for you: Face up to whatever "humiliating" skill remediation you need, and build up the right way, from there.

You see, a big problem, as I see it, is that we get it into our heads that we are perhaps more capable than we really are. But does that mean we are INNATELY incapable? Not necessarily. ...But the trick is to be brave enough to be honest with ourselves and admit that, at the current time, we are incapable... That's where the all-important quitting comes in. And then we have to go back to that fork in the road where we first started attempting physics, and begin again at a remedial level.
TheLogicJunkie 12 שנים לפני
You're the second person who's asking me about physics... Where did all this interest in physics come from? ...Anyhow, I've been in the situation you just described, and that's not how I interpreted the importance of quitting. What I did instead, was to realize that, in order to really understand physics, I had to first realize that it was important and good for me to know. After that, I had to take a long, hard look at my actual abilities in physics, and quit trying to avoid remediation.
TheLogicJunkie 12 שנים לפני
Yes, I am.

So if I love physics , but my grades aren't that hot I should just give up and pursue another subject like sociology instead of not quitting and trying to find out why I am bad at physics?>

Marijuana kills cancer cells. Look up Rick Simpson. But yeah, a lot of drugs may help you in one way...but they will hurt you in many other ways. Symbicort, my asthma medication which I have been using since I was a baby to treat severe asthma, gives my sleeping problems, it makes me restless and I can't sleep well. It can also give me headaches and it fucks up my voice. I hate taking it but if I want to breathe, I have to. Either unable to breathe or sleep deprivation, I can't win.

Your name is LogicJunkie... I was wondering if you were interested in physics?
TheLogicJunkie 12 שנים לפני
Damn!

Why do so many of these "miracle drugs" have side effects much worse than what they are "curing"? And Good luck moving out from Fogland, David. I've read the prevelance of MS and suicide are higher here also(as well as SAD).
