In recent years, I had the opportunity to prevent a heart attack for a few patients. Though much of my work focuses on neck and back pain, I do not just look for structural alignment when assessing patients but also for possible future heart issues. Knowing this, patients may, for example, ask me
for an alternative to statins to reduce their cholesterol. Reducing cholesterol naturally is generally simple by using energetic treatments and taking supplements as indicated. When helping someone reduce cholesterol to normal levels, I check if they have an issue with blood clots.

People do not realize that normal cholesterol does not rule out the possibility of a future blood clot; in fact, half the people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol. This tells us that high cholesterol is not responsible for heart disease, but it is merely a higher risk factor that acts as an indicator. High cholesterol denotes inflammation, or internal fire, in the body. The standard care, in this case, is to prescribe statins. This may be a good time to point out that statins sales are at 30 billion dollars annually, yet heart disease remains the number one killer in the U.S., with more than eight hundred thousand people having heart attacks each year. If statins successfully diminish high cholesterol, thus treating a symptom or calming inflammation, then why are so many people still having heart attacks? Obviously, statins are not treating the cause of heart disease or blood clots
