@LibOrNormal There will come a day when these scumbag bitches are going to have to pay for this. They will try to hide but, let's all remember that the internet is forever. Burn in hell lost bitches.
Statins are the most prescribed medication in history. 92 million Americans take them. Global sales exceed 20 billion dollars annually.
They're considered so essential that some doctors advocate putting them in the water supply like fluoride.
Here's what statins actually do:
- They extend life expectancy by 3-4 days over 5 years of daily use according to the most optimistic meta-analyses. That's not 3-4 days per year. That's 3-4 days total after 1,825 days of taking the medication.
- One in five people on statins experiences significant side effects: muscle pain, liver damage, cognitive impairment, increased diabetes risk, neuropathy, or fatigue.
So you take a pill every day for 5 years, have a 20% chance of serious side effects, and gain 3-4 days of life expectancy on average.
The pharmaceutical industry made this the best-selling drug class in human history.
The mechanism makes it worse: Statins block HMG-CoA reductase in the mevalonate pathway. This pathway doesn't just produce cholesterol. It produces:
- CoQ10 (heart energy)
- Vitamin K2 (arterial health)
- Dolichols (cell signaling)
- Heme A (oxygen transport)
You're not taking a cholesterol drug. You're taking a metabolic wrecking ball that happens to lower cholesterol as a side effect.
The original trials that got statins approved showed minimal benefit, mostly in people who'd already had heart attacks. Then the indications expanded. And expanded. And expanded.
Now they're prescribed "preventively" to people with zero cardiac history, normal blood pressure, and good health because one calculated risk score says maybe possibly they might have a problem in 10 years.
Doctors prescribe them because guidelines say to. Guidelines say to because pharmaceutical companies funded the research that set the guidelines. The researchers who wrote the guidelines have financial relationships with statin manufacturers.
This is documented. This is public. This is normal.
And 92 million Americans take the pills every day while rates of heart disease remain unchanged and pharmaceutical companies count their billions.
The greatest scam isn't that statins don't work. The greatest scam is that they convinced the world that everyone needs to be on them.
Amazes me that people will wait in long lines & purchase tickets for the best views but will sit next to an airplane windows, 35k feet above Gods creation & not open the window or look out.
We flying over mountains, oceans, sunsets most people will never see in their lifetime.
Every hospital in Britain had a stockpot on the stove until approximately the 1960s. Every workhouse before that. Every military mess. Every school kitchen. Every farmhouse. Every household that could afford bones, which was every household, because bones were the cheapest thing the butcher sold.
The stockpot ran continuously. Beef bones, pork bones, chicken carcasses, lamb shanks. The bones went in with water and were simmered for 12, 18, 24 hours. The broth that came out was the foundation of every soup, every stew, every gravy, every sauce.
Bone broth contains collagen, which breaks down into gelatin during cooking. Gelatin provides glycine and proline, essential for joint health, gut lining integrity, and connective tissue repair. It contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium leached from the bones. It contains glucosamine and chondroitin, now sold as joint supplements at £15 per bottle. It contains bone marrow, rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K2.
Your grandmother did not know the names of these compounds. She knew the broth kept the family well. She knew a bowl of broth settled the stomach when someone was ill. She knew the broth made the gravy and the gravy made the dinner and the dinner kept the children growing.
The broth was replaced by the stock cube.
The stock cube contains salt, maltodextrin, palm oil, yeast extract, flavouring, sugar, and colouring. It does not contain collagen, glycine, glucosamine, or any of the compounds the 24-hour broth provided. The stock cube is flavoured salt water.
The generation that grew up on the broth has joints. The generation that grew up on the stock cube has a glucosamine subscription and an orthopaedic appointment.
The supplement industry now sells, individually and at substantial markup, every compound the bone broth contained for free. Collagen powder: £25. Glucosamine tablets: £15. Bone broth itself, repackaged as a wellness product: £8 per serving from a company in Shoreditch with a minimalist label.
They have not discovered anything new. They have rediscovered what their grandmothers threw away.
The stockpot is still available. The bones are still at the butcher's. Water. Bones. Heat. Time.
The broth has been the broth for approximately 10,000 years.
The stock cube has been the stock cube for approximately 70.
The broth's track record is better.
Here's another "former liberal" who showed up to the conservative movement 10 seconds ago and now demands that we accept abominations like gay surrogacy, and then calls us "retards" if we dare to advocate for the conservation of marriage and the family, as we always have.
I'm really getting sick of the "former liberals" barging into the movement and trying to set the ground rules. If you have this kind of contempt for the basic tenants of conservatism then guess what? You aren't a former liberal. You're a current liberal.
