IS CHOLESTEROL GOOD FOR YOU?

IS CHOLESTEROL GOOD FOR YOU?  EN + FL

I have been saying this for 30 years.

Few people believed me.

Now , hear it from Barbara o’Neil.

Heartology By Dr Barbara o’Neil

We were taught that 300 was a normal cholesterol level.  300…

Today, we are told that 220 is dangerous. It is not dangerous.

Remember the 2 systems?

One is based on lies and deception.

The other one is based on truth.

The truth is that God created our body with an inbuilt ability to heal itself and it will heal itself when you give it the right condition.

Eliminating and lowering fat has not stopped heart disease.

There is one fat that is not good and that is the altered fat.

Those are the dangerous fats. They are all in clear plastic bottles.

They are all your vegetable oils. They are all dangerous.

Yesterday, I went to buy some food, I found some very nice organic olive oil from Italy in a glass dark bottle.

LIPITOR : There is No research: it is not proven to prevent heart disease. There is even a book called the Cost of Lipitor

Side effects : Alzheimers, Dementia, memory loss, muscle loss (wasting), breast cancer

Sex and stress hormones cannot be made if you have too low cholesterol

Cholesterol too low is just as dangerous as too high because the patient will become Vit. D deficient which is made from cholesterol.

The body cannot function without vitamin D

Cholesterol causing Heart disease is a myth.

============================================

How did we even end up here?
200 million people take statins daily, as if it’s as common as having breakfast.
It’s being sold as the way to lower cholesterol and prevent heart attacks.
And for years, we swallowed that– literally and figuratively – because no one heard the whole story.
But as soon as you start reading, listening, and thinking really critically, you’ll see that there’s another story underneath.
A story that Ray Peat, Carol Peterson, Georgie Dinkov, Kate Deering, and Dr. Aseem Malhotra has been trying to explain this for years.

Statins change numbers.
But they don’t change the reason why those numbers are the way they are.
Because high cholesterol isn’t just a “mistake of the body.” It’s a reaction. A signal. A protection mechanism.

CHOLESTEROL BUILDS, REPAIRS, SOFTENS AND PROTECTS.
It’s the raw material for

Your brain,

your hormones,

your vitamin D,

your cell membranes,

your myelin,

your nervous system.
It is part of the inflammatory and repair system.
So if you block production… you’re blocking much more than just a number.

And then the risks – which are often hidden somewhere in small print or not mentioned at all:
• Brain fog and memory problems
• Muscle pain, muscle weakness, and reduced mobility
• CoQ10 depletion
• Increased risk of type 2 diabetes
• Mood and energy problems
• Hormonal imbalances
• Mitochondrial damage
• Nutrient depletion (K2, selenium, L-carnitine, vitamin D…)

The body will never solve this thru magic while simultaneously squeezing the engine (the mitochondria).

And then that part that almost no one talks about:
Cholesterol guidelines were lowered so drastically in 2004 that millions of additional people “became eligible” for statins overnight.
8 out of 9 committee members taking that decision, had financial ties to the industry.
That’s not “medical progress.” That’s just policy.

And in the meantime, LDL has been made into a bogeyman, while modern research has long shown that context is everything.
Not: “How much LDL do you have?”
But: “What condition is it in?

How much inflammation is there?

How are your mitochondria doing?

How stable are your blood sugar and nervous system?

Oxidation.
Inflammation.
Insulin resistance.
Leaky gut.
Gene stress.
That’s where the real damage happens.

The terrain — not the number — makes you vulnerable.
And therefore, the right question is never:
“How do I lower my cholesterol?”
But: “Why is my body trying to protect me?”
The answers are in:
• Mitochondria that need to relearn how to make energy
• Inflammation that needs to be reduced
• Hormones that are allowed to come back into balance
• Intestines and liver that want to flow
• Blood glucose that wants to rest
• A nervous system that cannot sustain life in overdrive
• A body that needs movement and light, not a chemical stillness button.

Heart health doesn’t come from a pill.
It arises from rhythm, nutrition, recovery, sun, oxygen, minerals, movement, safety in the nervous system, and sufficient energy production.
Statins can be useful in very specific situations.
But what are we doing now?
Chasing numbers without understanding the body?
That’s not healthcare.
That’s symptom management.
My invitation:
Think for yourself. Ask further. Ask critical questions.
Don’t let your health be reduced to a single number in a single column.

Your body is communicating.
Not to scare you — but to point out what needs attention.
And that conversation… is the only thing that truly changes lives.
