Statin Nation Film Exposed the Cholesterol Myth—Thirteen Years Later, the Misinformation Continues
Although progress was made there's still much to do.
Thirteen years ago, I released the documentary Statin Nation: The Great Cholesterol Cover-Up, aiming to shed light on the widespread prescription of cholesterol-lowering statin medications and to question the conventional wisdom surrounding cholesterol management. Today, the issues addressed in the film remain pertinent.
The Core Message of Statin Nation
The documentary delves into how medical data linking cholesterol to heart disease had been manipulated, leading to the over prescription of statins—at that time the market for statins had grown into a $29 billion industry. The film challenges the prevailing notion that lowering cholesterol arbitrarily is beneficial for everyone and highlights the influence of pharmaceutical companies in promoting statin use.
A Global Influence
Since its release, Statin Nation has inspired similar documentaries in Canada, France, and Australia, contributing to a global conversation about heart health and the pharmaceutical industry's role in it. The prescription of statins did continue to increase for a while but as information finally reached more people, prescriptions in recent years have been falling.
A Call to Action
Many of my followers would have already seen Statin Nation but I have gained a significant number of new followers recently who may not be aware of the film. For those who have recently joined, I encourage you to watch Statin Nation. The film is available to watch for FREE, providing an opportunity to explore these critical issues in depth. Please share this resource with others to foster informed discussions about heart health and the role of medications in our lives.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to seeking the truth about our health.
Yes, you and others exposed the dangers of statins like Duane Graveline, Mercola, Jack Wolfson. Some listen and others haven't or only take their docs advice! I will keep on plugging it with people who will listen!
Also I'm just reading the newest WestonAPrice.org journal (Winter 12/24) if anyone has a friend in this great organization. The article is on The Great Blood Pressure Scam by a Midwestern Doctor (not named). The article also mentions articles: The Great Cholesterol Scam and The Dangers of Statins, which is what the substack had been about the other day! Justin, I know Price.org has local chapters in the UK so you could probably call their office and purchase a copy of the issue if you wanted to.
