This mistake by us in the medical community, and its capitalization by the pharmaceutical industry, has caused an ongoing fraud against society. The reason for its rise in the body is because of complications caused by chronic unintentional dehydration and insufficient urine production. The membranes of the blood vessels of the heart and main arteries going up to the brain become vulnerable to the shearing pressure produced by the thicker, acidic blood. This shearing force of toxic blood causes abrasions and minute tears in the lining of the arteries that can peel off and cause embolisms of the brain, kidney and other organs. Cholesterol is an element from which many of our hormones are made.
Vitamin D is made by the body from cholesterol in our skin that is exposed to sunlight.
Cholesterol is used in the insulating membranes that cover our nerve systems. There is no such a thing as bad cholesterol. If all the primary ingredients are available for its normal functions, the human body does not engage in making things that are bad for its survival. It is absolutely safe and not harmful to the body, like the dangerous medications now used. Please share this information with those you care for.
