"Cholesterol is one of the most important defence mechanisms we have in the body."
"As far as being the best protector against heart disease, against stroke, against cancer—you're not going to get over cancer unless you get the cholesterol levels above 200."
"If we have a patient who stays around 120, 130, 140... they are not going to recover very rapidly."

I have had high cholesterol for decades... I was put on statins in 2003.... November. I took one pill and woke the next day with chest pains. Stopped taking them.
In Aptlril 2004 was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. stage 2 Cured in October that year.
Successive drs tried to lower the cholesterol, I suffered joint pain in shoulders, hands, and lower back...
In 20011 I said ENOUGH and told the Dr I was not willing to take any more statins, that I would prefer to lose a few years at the end than live in pain now... should have seen the drs face...
I still have high cholesterol (340 there abouts.) But still have my faculties and no joint pain due to drugs.
Statins are very bad they cause mineral build up in joints - like uric minerals in a toe - gout... but it can attack any joint.
