“Our health care system is a hoax,” declared Dr. Paul Marik, who is the second-most-published critical care physician in the world. “And so, my advice to you: don’t get sick, don’t go to the hospital, because they’re going to kill you.” “The medical system will kill you.”
#2 – Dr. Marik shared a graph comparing life expectancies between different countries and health care expenditure per capita. America ranked dead last on life expectancy despite spending far more on health care than any other nation.
#3 – “We have a big problem,” said Dr. Marik. “And what you may not know is the life expectancy of Americans has gone down in the last three years — by three years. And how did that happen? Well, according to the White House, it’s global warming. The only explanation they have.”
#4 – “The other thing, which is terrifying: the US makes up 5% of the world’s population, yet we consume 55% of the prescription medications. This tells you how sick Americans are — that 55% of the world’s consumption of medication is in this country. We are sick people.”
#5 – Dr. Marik revealed that Atorvastatin, a cholesterol medication, was the most-commonly-prescribed drug in the United States. Despite the common notion that cholesterol medication reduces heart disease, Marik called it the “great cholesterol myth.”
#6 – “Lowering your cholesterol won’t prevent heart disease. It’s called a myth. It’s a hoax. What do statins do? They increase your risk of diabetes. They increase your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia — yet they are the most commonly-prescribed drugs in this country.”
#7 – Marik presented a graph from a study by TakataY et al. that showed that elderly patients with the highest cholesterol levels actually had the best survival rates.
#8 – Next, Marik showcased a staggering study from The British Medical Journal, often referred to as one of the most reputable journals in the world.
#9 – The BMJ concluded there is a “Lack of an association or an inverse association between low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and mortality in the elderly,” meaning that cholesterol medication had either no impact or a negative impact on mortality rates among elderly patients.
#10 – Marik ended by saying, “This [cholesterol medication] is one of the biggest hoaxes in medicine. But, you know, you can say the same thing [about diabetes]. The use of diabetes medicine is a hoax. Alzheimer’s medicine is a hoax.”
