Dr. Nadir Ali - 'Do statins prevent or cause heart disease? Should LDL be called "bad" Cholesterol?'

Both Cardiologists I saw after my triple bypass, told me to take statins, and if I didn't I would DIE within a year and a half. I took them for one month, I felt terrible, like I'd been in a car wreck! I stopped and the pain went away. I told them I will not take them, PERIOD Its been 5 1/2 yrs, I'm still alive....

This guy knew my dad and mom. I used to see him at dinner parties. His son went to school with my sister and I. Hell my uncle worked at the same hospital as him for years. I can’t believe he’s doing talks like this. Kudos to him!

This Doctor deserves a medal of honor for his bravery to tell it how it is! 99% of doctors stay silent and don't care about their hippocratic oath or their ethical beliefs! Most are just after the big bucks!!!

So proud of fellow Texan, Dr. Nadir Ali. Because of his willingness to say hard things to his colleagues, I consider him a personal hero.

This man deserves a Nobel prize. He's a wonderful brave person. Thumbs up and subscribed!

I actually lie to my doctor and tell him im taking the statins in an effort to have him stop thinking I am a difficult patient. When I first said "no, I wont take them" he was literally lost for words and just stared at me. I had also been on TRT for 6 months (through an online clinic" and when I told him this he was shocked and says "I want you to stop that, its going to kill you". So... he and I dont have the best relationship now. Oh, and in the same visit I told him I was doing carnivore.... you can imagine the look on his face. So ya... he thinks I'm insane. 6 months later all my blood counts have improved greatly and ive lost 35lbs... i reversed metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes and dropped my triglycerides from a heart attack inducing 8 to 1... HBA1C back to the 'good' zone and ALT to healthy numbers as well.... and he ignores all of it and all he cares about is that I am taking his statins :(

As a young, fit person with cancer, a high HDL, low triglyceride and high LDL with doctors pushing statin down my throat not only for the High LDL but cancer too , all I want to say is THANK YOU. I love you. ❤️. You’ve just backed what my intuition been saying. The body knows best and it’s part of the healing and repair process from all the surgeries and chemo I’ve had. Now if only I could find a doctor like you to help me heal the cancer. 😊 For now least I can trust my body more for the high LDL.

I started the PCSK9 inhibitor and my LDL dropped to 30. However, for the first time in my life I developed tendonitis in both shoulders to the point that I couldn’t tuck my shirt in to the back of my pants, scratch my back or reach behind my head to stretch! Your lecture completely validated my suspicion that this drug was causing inflammation in my tendons. Now am not guilty for stopping it!

What a stunning lecture! All the best of health, love and prosperity to this brave DOCTOR! Thank you!

I think your very last sentence was so brave and courageous! You have revealed such a pure soul and I wish there were more doctors like you in the industry. God bless you for truly trying to help people... instead of fill your bank account. ❤️👏🏻

I am currently "non compliant" and my doctor is wondering the same thing I am. Why do I keep coming to see him? Keto and IF have worked miracles for me and so many others. Big pharma is not cheering us on.

This is an eye opening presentation! Several years ago, I took statins on my doctor’s recommendation. After about a year, my body felt like Muhammad Ali had used me for a punching bag. I stopped the statins and it took almost a year before I felt normal again. When I reported this to him, he was not happy; but I was because I felt better. Still, every year he measures my lipids and every year he recommends statins. Every year, I respond that I would be willing to discuss statins with him, to which he gives me a lifeless smile, closes his laptop and moves on to his next patient.

You absolutely need to be applauded! Thank you for the science-backed data. I worked in cardiology for a long time and I've been saying this.

Doc is very good. He has reinforced what I knew about statins. Got into a debate with my wife's Doc due to her forgetfulness and eventually got her off the statins in two steps. First step was half it for couple of months and then stop all together. Her memory has improved since then. Sticking to Keto diet.

My cholesterol was always was a litle bit high, under 240 but over 200. I am 80 years old and have no heart problems or high blood pressure. I only am slightly hypothyroid. I refused statins because 400,000 person study in europe determined that people with higher cholesterol lived longer

I met Dr. Ali at Low Carb Houston. What a salt of the earth kind of guy! No pretension whatsoever. I chatted with Ali and Ivor Cummins, Jeffrey Gerber and Dave Feldman at a local eatery.

Content that hits like Braveheart . Stunning physician transparency. Practical , clear , priceless . This will save lives .

Statins should be illegal, the way cocaine and heroin are illegal.

Dr. Ali has to be one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard. I know other Doctor Who has have referred to some of what he has talked about. It is refreshing to see a Doctor Who is honest and tells you the negatives as well as the positives of any medication. Also nice to see somebody advocating for patients doing their own research and taking responsibility for their own health outcomes. You would think common sense everyone would be aware of the potential conflicts of the funding behind a lot of his studies but many people are too lazy to look any deeper. A great video! An ethical doctor! A refreshing change.

Good for you! I am a Nurse Practitioner and I prescribe Carnivore Diet to my Diabetic and obese patients. Some of the doctors I work with disagree. They tell me I’m going make their conditions worse. I laugh at their notes. The patients who do follow instructions have results like yours. I have taken patients off insulin and they get well when they have the ability to feed themselves a Proper Human Diet (as Dr. Ken Berry calls it) aka carnivore diet.
