Quotes
“Through diet and proper supplementation, we can see significant reductions, and these reductions in inflammation are more effective in protecting against having a heart attack or stroke than simply lowering your cholesterol.” (4:28)
“Were seeing that many of these chronic degenerative diseases, like heart disease, like Alzheimer’s disease, like Parkinson’s disease, like type two diabetes, and obviously cancer, are related perhaps more to this accumulation of pesticides over our lifetime, as well as other toxins, just as much as with our dietary sins.” (12:17)
“Are there safe and effective natural ways to lower cholesterol and reach those targets? Absolutely.” (16:00)
“What’s good for your heart is good for your brain. And so if you want to live longer, it’s not just about reducing your risk of having a heart attack or stroke, you want to make sure that your brain is seeing the benefit too.” (22:15)
“[Drugs] are really good at suppressing the symptom, but not at really getting at the underlying cause, and that is bad medicine. Because if you don’t get at that underlying cause, it’s eventually going to manifest itself in a way that can be catastrophic. And that certainly the case in cardiovascular disease.” (30:14)
