Nicki- just so you know, the shingles shots are now mRNA and if you get on antivirals right away, shingles USUALLY is no big deal. The Zostavax also didn’t work and Merck is being sued. I got shingles a year after the Zostavax. Shringrix is more effective but only for the first year, then wanes rapidly and the side effects are SO nasty many people don’t go back for the second shot. When my doc offered the flu shot 2 yrs ago (before I fired her for recommending the Covid shot too) I told her “no thank you. I like getting the flu. It’s a guaranteed 5-10lb wt loss.” She looked like she was sucking lemons 🤣

LOL....I fired my doctor after he told me the only way I could lower my cholesterol was by taking statins!

And my BIL fired his doctor when he denied the C-19 vax was NOT Emergency Use Authorized (EUA)!

Bravo, Austin. Our body needs cholesterol, it's part of the building blocks. A few years ago, what was once considered healthy numbers was lowered to what is recommend today. And into that breach came cholesterol-reducing drugs. Same old tune, different song.

Did you see the study that has been repressed for 50 years? It is called the Minnesota Coronary Experiment. The British Med Journal recently re-published it. It says that high cholesterol does not negatively affect coronary heart disease. It was talking specifically about lineolic acid from veg oils, and statins didn't exist then, but heart conclusions were this:

"Conclusions Available evidence from randomized controlled trials shows that replacement of saturated fat in the diet with linoleic acid effectively lowers serum cholesterol but does not support the hypothesis that this translates to a lower risk of death from coronary heart disease or all causes. Findings from the Minnesota Coronary Experiment add to growing evidence that incomplete publication has contributed to overestimation of the benefits of replacing saturated fat with vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid."

The health industrial complex just so ignorant or greedy, aren't they..Linoleic acid in seed oils is bad for your entire body. Very damaging, canola is one. Omega-3s are a scam also. Almost all them are oxidized just as much. Fish oils—waste of money. Don’t need more omega 3s. Lower your seed oil intake (PUFAs) instead to balance. Don’t just add more oxidized omegas.
