I never had muscle pain with statins. I had horrible side pain that was so bad an ambulance took me to the ER. There was also vomiting and diarrhea. I had stage two liver failure after a short time of taking it. And it did not take long at all for that to happen. I am happier to eat mostly vegan.
Just about 5 years ago I got a stent, after a heart attack, I'm 68. Was given 4 prescriptions including a statin. I started learning about the drugs and how they work. The statin inhibits an enzyme in a metabolic pathway which produces cholesterol in the liver. The problem I have with it is that this pathway also produces other things you need, such as: coQ-10, testosterone, estrogen, vitamin D and maybe some others. That concerned me. I also question why the war on cholesterol? Cholesterol doesn't just plug up arteries like pouring grease down a drain pipe. If it did, why don't veins plug up too? Anyway, Isn't the real problem caused by cell damage to the inner arterial wall and cholesterol being laid down like a bandage to cover it? The damage mostly from poor diet and lifestyle?
Why? Not all patients are overweight. I agree nutrition should be front & center in med school, but your second assertion would not make sense for a lot of us.
@@SherryEllesson Obesity is a common problem for the majority of Americans. It has now even become a problem for children. Over 70% of people are overweight.
@@SherryEllesson Sometimes people need to hear advice that they do not like. No one likes to be told that they need to lose weight. Obesity contributes to heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer. A visit to the doctors office should also be a teaching opportunity that will encourage people to make healthy food choices and exercise regularly. An ounce of prevention is better than dealing the damage caused by obesity.
@@KJSvitko I'm well aware of those dangers but they don't apply to those of us who are on the low end of the BMI scale. You paint with too broad a brush.
Like any strong medicine, cannabis will have side effects. Overuse will deplete certain pathways in the brain. You can become more depressed using cannabis when the pathways are depleted from over consumption. Eating strongly resinous edibles especially with chocolate can be really hard to digest. You need to drink lots of water when consuming edibles even if your edible is just a gummy so as not dehydrate your intestines. Dehydration due to consuming edibles and not drinking enough water, can make digestive problems worse by making your digestion slow down and constipate you. Cannabis causes veins to constrict where alcohol does the opposite & dilates veins. So consuming alcohol and cannabis at the same time is counter effective. If you are an older adult and have poor circulation, cannabis can make associated problems worse. But smoking it, especially if you use filter tips, doesn’t hurt your lungs or give you a cough ( drink that water!) like smoking tobacco does.
Having gotten cannabinoid hyperemesis due to over consumption of marijuana, as well as seeing a friend with Crohn's disease who also used marijuana get better after quitting, incomplete understand these findings. I feel it shouldn't be tossed out based on that tho as a friend with a nonverbal child who had severe seizures did get better with it. He had daily seizures that went down to one a month. More research is needed, but for those who do benefit, as well as for recreation, I firmly believe it should be legal.
Medicare and Medicaid need to be allowed to negotiate for lower drug prices. US patients pay 2 or 3 times as much as other countries for the same drugs. The GOP is controlled by big pharma and is blocking any reform. The GOP is running a con on American people. Lowering health care costs would reduce the amount of money spent by Medicare and help the program financially.
Year after year this falls on deaf ears. Everyone runs on it, no one does anything about it. Because if politicians actually fixed anything, there'd be nothing to run on.
Frankly marijuana doesn't NEED to be medicalized. It should be legal anyways. If coffee was discovered today you'd probably have to go get a prescription for it to have some. It's such a silly philosophy.
I'm trying to quit marijuana because it really screws my digestion up. After many years of heavy use i know the pattern. it actually kills your appetite, and makes your LES not close properly from the smoke and the THC dleta9, which triggers reflux. After quitting heavy use, you barely digest and loose appetite for few weeks. Apparently the canabinoid system is responsible for peristalsis. I'm not even going to go in the topic of the munchies and the uncontrollable cravings for large amounts of sugar and salt. Usually i have 90% control of what i eat if I'm sober, but once I smoke, my diet goes through the window. it's like someone takes control over you.
Some young people live on french fries. Young people and their addiction to fast food is contributing to greater obesity rates and heart disease at younger ages.

Doctors need nutrition training in medical school.
Obesity impact on health should be discussed at every doctor visit.

Thank you so much for sharing this ♥️👋
Statin nocebo effect is real. Studies show this and that has been my experience in clinical practice

Wat bout *cbd oil* ?
He's made a video on that before I think. Main issue is that the available CBD oil for consumers is extremely underdosed and overly expensive.
Where are the nutritional facts on lowering LDL. This seems more like a statin commercial.
Pu erh tea contains a pro drug for stains afaik. But yea of course there are many many options other than stains.
There are videos of this channel going back 10 yrs. No need to ask if you don't go for the trouble to look

forget about thc cannabis non cannabis was so good for the enviromant for all sort of use but they invented plastic so bye bye cannabis

This guy actually said that potatoes can give you diabetes.
@@ceilconstante7813 carbohydrates don't cause diabetes. FAT and protein containing branched-chain amino acids (animal tissue) does.

@@KJSvitko bit silly to just equate potatoes with french fries, no?
@@Apodeipnon That is what young people are eating.
Every food can be poison if people eat too much. We need to find balance in food. He just give a normal judgment. "can" does not mean "will"
