Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | The Quacks want me to take statins. Statins do lower cholesterol but they generally pass thru the blood brain barrier and exert a cholesterol lowering effect in the brain. Anyone with a history of diabetes much less a history or a severe diabetic crisis already suffers from lowered cholesterol in the brain. Dietary fats and serum cholesterol levels do not affect brain cholesterol levels since its the brain that must manufacture its own cholesterol. Statins do not improve qualit of life nor do they extend life, they only "improve numbers' so that the patient dies with good numbers. What is the sense of that? WHY do the quacks want me on statins? Are the quacks trying to kill me? Are they giving me a none to subtle hint? |

Didn't you say you're morbidly obese? Sounds like you are way ahead of them in trying to kill you. Try losing a hundred pounds, it will do wonders for your health. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Statins make my joints ache. Brain needs cholesterol for every function. Unless the numbers are over a hundred above what is called for, just watch the direction the total is headed. Not all cholesterol is bad. Some good. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

How can you bitch about your health when you undermine it at every meal. Old fat people have an expiration date far sooner then people of normal weight. Or hadn't you heard. You can start losing on your very next meal, it's not very hard. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I always have a months worth of pet food in the pantry, that way this never happens. It's what adults do. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I've been stocking up on people food for emergency, just tool inventory. Enough soup for a month, lots of other items as well. People laugh at having a deep pantry, but it makes you prepped and easier to make food at home. The President is a fink. |
