We’ve seen a lot of one-sided talk about cholesterol, some people say there’s two sides to it, some people say there is one side to it. Here I offer you a third perspective.
Before Repatha-like drugs, what was the primary, and still is the primary method of fixing lipid issues? Slamming your cholesterol levels down by force.
Here’s the thing: There is absolutely no comparison between working on the ability to clear out old cholesterol, either with Repatha, and/or natural methods, V.S slamming your cholesterol levels down entirely, and forcing your body to respond to that with getting better at LDL clearance / up-regulate LDL receptors.
Why are we still depriving ourselves of cholesterol to indirectly up-regulate our LDL receptors, when there is a drug that up-regulates your LDL receptors directly? There are serious side effects when you deprive yourself of something essential.
A bad metabolism isn’t essential, but cholesterol is.
I see the comparison with the people who have the gene that Repatha was based off of, saying that since they have low LDL with no side effects, it must be healthy. Well they are not artificially lowering their LDL, their body is effectively clearing out old LDL, that doesn’t mean that they’re starving themselves of new cholesterol.
