Statin Nation- the Movie!

Do you take Statins?  

Nowadays, about 25% of people over the age of 45 now do!  Why do you think?

By 2003, atorvastatin(the statin mainstay) became the best-selling pharmaceutical in history, with Pfizer reporting sales of US$12.4 billion in 2008.

It's even more now!

Statins, i.e. Lipitor, Crestor, Torvast- the list goes on and on...

Statin drugs are a HUGE moneymaker for the drug companies!

But, what about YOU??

I disagree with the "limit red meat" part, as long as the meat is grass fed... also, the exercise portion of the info graphic recommends "walking and cardio"- perfectly Paleo types of strength training exercises are far superior on this front!


Here is a more up-to-date graphic for you all:
Notice how Statin Use has GROWN since 1988!!

Note especially that there is NO proven benefit at ALL for women taking statins!

Misled and Ill fed- implementing the paleo diet in spite of a lifetime of "misinformation"

Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food

- Hippocrates, the founder of Western, scientific-based medicine

It is overwhelming for many "newbies" to paleo to have trouble determining just how to switch over to a grain-free, low sugar, nutrient dense type of ancestral diet!  And rightfully so; it is hard to turn off a lifetime of mistaken and misleading brainwashing, and turn on a way of eating that will truly nourish our bodies and minds.

I truly feel that this is the very beginning of the end for the Goliath of Big Food, Big Pharma, and big Medicine!


This Goliath, that has, in self-interest or else in complete ignorance and delusion destroyed the health of the Western world, is gradually, and more-and-more coming into confrontation with the David of the Paleo Diet- that David  that is now quite small, armed only with a tiny "sling", which is the internet, but the same little David that has the ultimate, long-range ability to bring down the incredible Goliath of our economy, which collectively (Big Pharmaceuticals, Big Food (GRAIN) cartels, and conventional Medicine) commands over 40% of our economy.


This 'PaleoDavid' can also bring our health, nutrition, food and wellness back down to a local, grassroots, manageable level.

How to achieve good health, banish disease and feel really good, all without prescription drugs, processed foods, and huge medical bills?

Dr. Terry Wahls has an interesting answer for all of us:

What she espouses is basically the Paleo Diet!

Go thou and do likewise-

Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food!
