Dr. Aseem Malhotra exposes statins: A 1% benefit with hidden costs—time for informed consent

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a renowned cardiologist, has raised critical concerns about statins, one of the most prescribed drugs globally, with 30 million users in the U.S. and up to a billion worldwide.

In a recent discussion, he unpacked the shocking truth about their efficacy, urging patients to question the widespread use of these cholesterol-lowering medications.

Drawing from industry-sponsored trial data, Dr. Malhotra highlights that for most people—those not at high risk of heart attack—taking a statin daily for five years offers just a 1% chance of preventing a non-fatal heart attack or non-disabling stroke. Critically, this comes with no evidence of prolonging life by even a single day.

He emphasizes that this information, available at thennt.com, is rarely communicated to patients due to systemic gaps in medical training, where doctors are not taught to interpret and convey such data effectively.

Dr. Malhotra advocates for informed consent, presenting patients with these facts without coercion. Many, he notes, are dismayed by the minimal benefit when weighed against potential side effects, which affect 20-50% of users.

These include muscle pain, fatigue, brain fog, erectile dysfunction, joint pain, and stomach issues. Strikingly, he has witnessed elderly patients misdiagnosed with dementia or frailty regain memory and vitality weeks after discontinuing statins.

This is not a call to stop medication abruptly, but a plea for patients to engage in informed discussions with their doctors. Dr. Malhotra’s book, A Statin-Free Life, available on Amazon, delves deeper into these findings, offering a comprehensive resource for those seeking clarity on cholesterol management and drug benefits.

Who could have predicted in 2018, when constantly more immigration and more “diversity” was believed by our entire political and media establishment to be ALWAYS good, that this trend would lead to a disaster?!?

Qui aurait pu prédire en 2018, alors que l’ensemble de notre establishment politique et médiatique croyait que d’avoir constamment plus d’immigration et plus de « diversité » était TOUJOURS une bonne chose, que cette tendance mènerait à un désastre?

The show is over and the globalist buffoon is back in his country. Seems like I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t care less.

The Canadian Medical Association, like many other interest groups in this country, has been hijacked by woke activists who support butchering kids.

We need a law to criminalize this abhorrent practice and those who brainwash kids into it.

Although the Carney government’s promises of economic reform in yesterday’s Throne Speech are weak sauce and will likely be far from enough to save Canada from the disastrous course it is on, we have to acknowledge that they show a radical departure from Trudeau’s insane focus on climate change, wokism, more social programs, and more spending.

The government’s seven priorities are all relevant ones that point in the right direction, even though none of them goes far enough:

1. a new economic and security relationship with the U.S.;

We need one of course, but as I have been saying, we should put everything on the table to make it work, including dairy supply management.

2. removing barriers to interprovincial trade;

That’s been part of the PPc platform since 2018. Glad to see it finally be a government priority!

3. bringing down costs for Canadians;

An obviously important priority but the only way to achieve it is to massively cut government spending and excessive regulations, and stop the Bank of Canada from printing money again as it always does when the economy slows down, or when the global debt crisis hits for real sometime soon. There’s little chance of that, Carney is not as crazy as Trudeau but his two main jobs were as money printer and inflationist-in-chief in Canada and Britain.

4. making housing more affordable;

Another important priority, which would be achieved if the government immediately imposed a moratorium on immigration as the PPC proposed. They will spend billions to build houses instead.

5. protecting Canadian sovereignty by strengthening the armed forces;

Another important priority after years of neglect and woke policies to destroy our armed forces.

6. reducing immigration levels to “sustainable” levels;

Isn’t it amazing that what made me and the PPC the targets of smears only a few years ago is now a priority of a Liberal government?!? Unfortunately the Liberals still believe that hundreds of thousands more immigrants per year is sustainable.

7. and spending less on government operations.

This is absolutely crucial after a decade of massive growth in the size of the government and its bureaucracy under Trudeau.

These priorities are very similar (or perhaps even better) to what a Poilievre government would have proposed.

We’ll see what actually gets accomplished. The car is not racing into the brick wall at an accelerating speed as it was under Trudeau, but at a slower one. I just don’t believe it will make much of a difference in the end. What we need is to radically change direction.
