Shut your Mouth! Or your health will be seriously damaged (kids and adults) [George Catlin 1862]
The dangers of mouth breathing (as opposed to nose / nasal breathing) were deduced in the 19th Century by George Catlin, who visited indigenous American tribes and noted their good facial structures, good teeth and dental health, and lack of chronic disease. He documented these findings in his book Shut Your Mouth and Save Your Life (1862). The consequences of mouth breathing include, high blood pressure, increased risk of heart disease, poor dental health, worsening of the oral microbiome, increased risk of osteoporosis and dementia, and facial deformities in children including small jaws leading to overcrowded crooked teeth, visual problems including short sightedness, and various other features described by the terms "adenoid face" or "long face syndrome". Make sure you shut your mouth and breath through your nose.

7 Reasons to Choose Lifestyle Interventions over Medications
I was simply told I needed them after a blood test - no other information was given. I took them for about 6 months, had muscle pain, did some research and simply stopped them. Never taken them since...
I am a survivor of the Illness management Industry. You are not a patient to be cured but an income stream that is to continue indefinitely. I listened to Dr Berg and lost 50lbs,gout and T2 diabetes to the shock of my diabetes doctor. I am 68 an have the body I had at 28.
Reposted to Farcebook.... ESSENTIAL knowledge for everyone.
It was suggested to me after doing a QRisk assessment , that I should take statins. I stated that I was on the pre-diabetes range with a score of 44 ( 41 being the start range, 47 the top range, 48 means type 2), the Dr stated it shouldnt affect that , straight away, didn't even think about it. I started with 20 mg dose; within 4 weeks I noticed that one side ached, typically when trying to sleep. Most of the time upright no issues. It became worse...but it would come and go. Unbeknown to me I had started to feel jaded ( tired I guess) during the day doing normal things. After 2 months I stopped them. On speaking to my GP about another matter happening at same time, I stated I had stopped the statins, due to thinking it may be contributing, and also stated I hadn't felt this good since I started them. I spoke to a brother-in-law who was started on statins, he stopped them after 2 months. The first month he had aches felt terrible, dr gave him a lighter dose, no difference in effect. SO he stopped them. I suggest the 2 out of 100, is wayyyy off. I read the notes in one of the packet....muscle ache etc is something like 1000 to 1 ?? what total rubbish. It's only that figure because NO ONE reports the issues they have with them. The Dr's don't report it, so nothing gets done, and FALSE information is on the documentation given to patients.
There are countering studies that show seed oils as not pro inflammatory so long as you are getting enough omega 3 and its not about the ratio as once thought. Also I am afraid not all hel is good andthere are way morethan 2 subdivisions of ldl so much as I am cynical about big pharma and doctors brainwassed in a paradigm heavily influen ed by big pharma, this video doesnt educate me in any thing convincing although its useful tohave noted that for every study that pulls one way there is usually another wich pulls the other.
If your body makes and meets its own cholesterol needs by manufacturing it. What is the point in you arguing that you should also eat large quantities of it unless you did not know what the heck you where talking about or your have nefarious intentions.
Where did I argue you should eat large quantities of it? That's not my view. Of course you could apply the same argument to glucose - if you eat zero glucose or starch, your body will make what you need for a stable blood sugar.
This guy is full of it. There are litarly ony 4 long term studies on low carb diets and they all ended up stopping them early do to death. Here they are, there wont be anymore unless they sign waver.

I was advised to go on statins but refused, did further research now I'm even more glad I refused. Reversing my CAC. 660 to 458 in 20 months. For a 30% calcuim reduction. Did this on the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing, I will have a look at that.
@drphilipbosanquet Thanks, doctor. While the Linus Pauling Heart Protocol works, there may be something even more powerful. Read the story on NanobacTX and its inventor! But don't stop there! NASA is studying nanobacteria because under low gravity, nanobacteria grows even faster, producing Calcium. Which is a concern for long space travel. Especially with the formation of kidney stones. Read the Calcium Bomb 💣 and the companion book!
@drphilipbosanquet Take a look at NanobacTX and the story behind it that even NASA has an interest in.
@drphilipbosanquet I'd like to say more, but I am censored.
Take a good look at NanobacTX and the research that is going on with nanobacteria and its link to heart disease, among other things. Even NASA is studying this.
Some statins (liptor) cause dementia, Statins stops the production of cholesterol,,, Your brain is 20% cholesterol = dementia. Others cause myocarditis infraction and palpitations = heart attack.

I was on 2 statins, 2 BP, meds, and a thyroid med. I went total Carnivore, lost 35 lbs.. in 7 months, ( 70 yr., 5'.3", 150lbs, down to 115 👍) I weaned myself off all meds, doc freaked out, insisted I get a CAC scan and full blood panel, which I did.. bloods came back perfect, and my cac scan came back at O% blockage! My Doc was shocked at the results, and I had a hard time hiding my smirk 😏. She took me off my statins and BP meds immediately and said. Wow, I did not see that coming. Im still on my thyroid med at 1/2 dose, but all and all, I'm thrilled with my results! ❤
Nice one.
My parents came up through the Depression. Before them, my grandparents were poor immigrants from Eastern Europe. I grew up eating three average, balanced meals per day. We didn’t eat stuff like chips, candies, highly processed stuff. Meat, fish, bread, vegetables, dairy. Dessert, if we had it, was small, fruit or homemade oatmeal raisin cookie--just one, not a dozen! In summer we had popsicles made from frozen juice. Eating ouis a rare treat. The only one too fat was a great aunt who turned out to probably have Cushings disease. Nobody is fat. We aren’t calorie counters, obsessed with organic, or vegans, no dietary fads. I’m now 73 and so many of my younger friends in their 60’s are obese. I think it’s from all the processed, convenience junk on the shelves.
Thanks for sharing. Yes I'd agree with your conclusion.
My doctor tried to put me on a statin about 10 years ago, I took it for about a week and started feeling severe muscle pain almost immediately (BTW is guarantee to the real numbers on muscle pain are a minimum of 30% and that pain will turn into muscle wasting if you continue) I threw the rest in the trash. My blood pressure was 140/90 and total cholesterol was 254. The past 3 years I went Vegan, started taking fish oil Omega 3 at 4000mg a day, take high dose Nattokinase and 5000iu Vit D and 100mg Q10. Blood pressure averages under 120/80 most times around 117/70 and Cholesterol around 210 which I am perfectly fine with. Doctor STILL wants to put me on a statin LOL
My GP txt me to say I should start Statins after my recent blood test. I ignore the txt. I then had a follow up call from the surgery that I was at risk of a cardiovascular event and that I should consider taking Statins to lower this risk. I wasn’t offered any discussion on the benefits of statins or implications of taking them, simply told I was at risk if I didn’t take them. I then informed the GP that I’m currently undergoing life style changes that through my own research, I believe will have a much better chance of improving my overall health in a more profound way than taking a statin which will only affect statistics on medical records in improving my cholesterol levels. Further to this I truly think that it is imperative that everyone should take charge of their own health and not rely on the advice given by pharmaceutical market leads pushing GP practitioners into a corner to prescribe drugs.
Good choice on the lifestyle approach. Telling you to start statins on a text is ridiculous.
I refused statins so my doctor gave me a script for EZETIMIBE as a non-statin alternative. How much safer are these?
What are your thoughts on this product i have thought of purchasing airestech
I recently was hospitalized for a "complete heart block". Nothing to do with "heart blockage", having to do with cholesterol or anything. They put me on Atorvastatin to help insure that there wouldn't be any problems relating to clotting or anything like that. After a few weeks now, should I even continue to take it. I have always refused to take statins and decided to do things more naturally. They occasionally say that my cholesterol level is elevated, but not necessarily any bad cholesterol. I usually use fish oil. Currently, I feel more tired, lethargic, and even having some dizzy spells tha I wouldn't normally since taking atorvastatin. I don't really see any reason to keep taking this. Any advice on the subject?
My cholesterol level once shot up to 8.2mmol/l, then down to 8.1. The gp asked me, "Has any of the gps discuss with you about it?". I replied no but I don't want any statins. He then punched a few numbers together and arrived at the conclusion that I'm only at 2% risk of having a heart attack. He added that they only prescribe statins when the risk is at 10% and above. He wanted to know what natural remedies I do
Similarly have dental surgery and not be able to eat much for a week. I have lost 5lbs this week! 😂😂😂
My cholesterol shot up to 8.1mmol/L. GP wanted to prescribe me a statin but I said no. He then punched some numbers together and declared I was only at 2% risk of a heart attack. He said it's when a patient is at 10% risk is when statins are prescribed
If you are genetic prone, all fats and oils are a risc of heart disease. A very low fat diat will help.
I was told to take statins 15 years ago and didn't .paid the price, just had triple by pass ... been fit and slim, never smoked, and ride a bike every day i did have high cholesterol
I'm not sure you're totally correct. Some people suffer from very high cholesterol, it's genetically caused, and they tend to die early it runs in a family when they take statins they live a normal life span
What is considered a valid level for fasting in terms of hours

My lipids are 4.8 with, 5.2 without ... do I need them ?
I was prescribed statins, which I reluctantly took for a month. I always used to run down the stairs, handy when your office is based on the 6th floor. However within a couple of weeks I could barely walk down the stairs. I explained this to my GP and she agreed that it could be a good idea to stop taking them. I was back to normal within a week! Lifestyle changes seem a bit more difficult, as some gentle changes have not had the desired effect yet.
Even after a cardio incident I was prescribed by default without any tests to support the prescription. I knew it was wrong from the start. I won't take them. Being honest sugar was my sin. The HDL/ldl count is not the metric used by life insurance actuaries... #JustSaying
Corrupt Government, and corrupt big pharma. You don't say!!!! 😡😡
Just pull out great granny's recipe book. Anything before crap like crisco became popular should be good.
Oh I wish my GP thought like this!
My QRisk came back as 14.8. I am 62, take bp meds but controlled at around 110/65, within normal weight range and I have reversed my pre diabetes. My cholesterol/HDL ratio is high at 7.5. I am very active, walking or running at least 5 days a week. I have refused statins again for the 4th year in a row. I feel healthy have good diet nd move daily. My Mother had memory problems after taking statins and never recovered from them. She had high cholesterol but died aged 88.
Hi Dr! Would you plz review this article & comment if it's true that saturated fat consumption causes insulin resistance? PMID: 26615402
Nice. Excellent points here. I think nasal humidification and "air conditioning" by the nose is vastly underestimated today.
Thanks. Air conditioning is a very good way of putting it.
After listening to you, I will stop taking my statins. I do feel tired and weak and I have been getting joint pain and a degree of brain fog. Thank you for your insight.
My doctor did not give any advice or suggestions, he just said, your cholesterol is high and gave me a prescription.
Not a very informed discussion from the sounds of it!
Was that a jar of Chia seeds I saw on he shelf behind you?
One day doctors should be sued en mass for prescribing this poison when lifestyle and diet changes can solve the root cause in 3-6m i.e. a keto diet with intermittent fasting, resistance and cardio exercises
I like the objectivity of your video, thank you. I am a medicinal chemists with decades of research experience, yet I am confused about statins. I am higher risk, even though never had stroke or heart attack. My calcification score is 230 and I am 66 years old. MY LDL was high (about 154 mg ml) but so was my HDL, I exercise well, not diabetic, and am not overweight. I have had radiotherapy to the neck twice (once each side) . Heart CT shows plaque build up in one main area in the heart, but not enough to require treatment. My cardiologist put me on atorvastatin because of this, and that was lucky because later I found I had a high level of blockage (>70%) in one carotid artery (sonogram) and was fitted with a stent 6 months ago. I checked clinical studies and found statins were shown to be highly beneficial for patients taking them before stent operations, so glad I happened to be on them for 6 months before the op. (LDL then down to about 60). However, I have not found clinical trials probing effects of statins for patients after (eg 6 months and longer) a stent. I hate taking them because I think they make me weaker, and promoted muscle pain, and this did make it harder to exercise. Consquently, about 2 months ago I reduced my atorvastatin dose (against advice) to 5 mg three times a week. My conclusion: nobody knows how much statins help someone like me because there have not been enough trials of similar individuals: we are all just guessing, Do you agree, or are there studies I did not find? Further, I have hunch, tentatively supported by PET scans over 5 years, that radiotherapy probably caused plaque in the carotid, and might even have caused it in the heart (even though that was not in the beam). Understandably, you will not give specific medical advice, but are my conclusions about trials in this area valid for patients like me?
Your conclusion of 'nobody knows' is something I'd agree with. Especially with your unique circumstances. And it is good question about the use of statins for short term after interventions such as stents vs long term continuation - this would be very useful information to have.
Regrettably I’ve lost all confidence in the NHS. Thank you for providing guidance about diet.
Thanks a lot. Yes it is a pity but I have lost confidence too.
I have a deviated septum and one nostril is narrow, I get hayfever and sinus issues, I can't breathe properly through my nose. I know I my mouth opens when I fall asleep, I can't help it.
I had raft of tests incl. cardio CT scan following angina like symptoms when suddenly stressing body (like running around with the dog or up some stairs). I'm pretty fit as exercise 4-5 time week, and total cholesterol is 5.5mmol/L. Cardio consultant said my arterial plaquing is 30 percentile for my age of 60, but didn't explain if thats good/bad, but think its OK. He said I'm goign to prescribe you statins. I said no. He tried 2 more times to prescribe them in a 15 minute consultation! Tried to reduce cholesterol level through diet and use of plant sterols, but over 6 months made negligible difference, which is what the cardio consultant would be the case (he said diet wouldn't likely make anymore than 5-8% difference).
Unprocessed food is best I will never understand how this is a concept people over look, buy British (some of the highest standards in the world including welfare) buy seasonal, try to buy local!
we are being manipulated by Big Money , the world over, and for many many many years. Do doctors surgeries get a bonus for prescribing Statins ???
I just watched Dr Brad Stanfield's latest video enthusiastically advocating for statin consumption due to a meta analysis of 36 research that revealed statin lowers risk of dementia. Earlier on, i watched so many doctors say statin increases risk of dementia. It is tiring and confusing, not to mention scary because I just convinced my husband to get off statin for his high LDL. I wished every doctor here would say the same thing but for every person who says it's bad, there's another person who says it's good. I am so tired, who to believe. I hope I am not the cause of any future issues my husband faces as a result of me asking him to get off statins.
Yes it is very confusing, for me as well. Of course dementia is not caused by a statin-deficiency, so although they could help for some people if they act to mitigate in someway the root cause, those root cause are in our modern lifestyles.
@@drphilipbosanquet Thank you Dr Philip! I certainly hope my husband will be ok without his statins. He was on it for way too many years and is quite forgetful. I sometimes worry.
Well I followed this advice and now have multiple severe 90+% coronary and carotid artery blockages and need to see a vascular surgeon. I am now taking a statin and baby aspirin until I can get a stent. It's irresponsible to suggest people shouldn't take a statin. You need to get a CIMT or a Coronary Arteries CT angiogram to see if plaque is building up and what type of plaque.
That's sad to hear and I wish you the best, but heart disease is not caused by a lack of statins, it's caused by multiple factors of modern lifestyles, so it is perfectly appropriate in my opinion that people focus on these rather than routinely putting large percentages of the population on statins.
@@drphilipbosanquet See you still don't understand do you. In my case it's not lifestyle or diet its genetics. I have never gone higher than 20% BF, and I am 60, never smoked, drank. I can out run anyone in their 20's. That is the case with several of the people I know. You guys are just irresponsible and shouldn't be giving information to the general public like this without understanding the specific circumstances of the individual.
@@slavaukraini3260 In that case I couldn't share any information in any subject in the public domain? Of course individualised decisions are crucial, but that doesn't happen on TH-cam, that happens in a private consultation with a doctor. The information I shared is already in the public domain (some of it on the computer systems we are supposed to share with patients even though it is not personalised). I do not think it's irresponsible to share either information or personal views. If so, you'd have to apply that both ways (ie nobody online would be able to be supportive of statins because for some people they do more harm than good, therefore it would not be catering to the specific circumstances of those individuals).
@@drphilipbosanquet Your not educating people, you are misinforming because you don't provide the important context. I didn't take statins because TH-camr influencers which is what you are have been over-emphasizing that statins are bad. You want to be a physician on TH-cam then tell people where to go for proper diagnosis, what things should they consider in evaluating and getting the proper diagnosis. You're acting like an influencer not a physician.
Thank God people are finally waking up, its a pretty bleak world where we cant trust our own authorities who are supposed to have our best interests at heart... we all know what they really care about
This is great info, not too complex or anything and is a really useful baseline diet to go off of. The only thing i would change is moving the wholegrains to treat simply because they are relatively low in nutrients and high in phytic acid. Plus if ur eating nuts too u dont want too many sources of phytic acid to compound and possibly cause a mineral deficiency. If ur concerned about pesticides on fruits and veg u can soak them for 10 minutes in a bowl of water with a tablespoon of baking soda to drastically reduce the amount of surface glyphosates and other endocrine disrupting herbicides and pesticides👍
Awesome video!!
Thanks a lot.
