Big Cholesterol doesn’t want you to read this. That’s how I know it’s important.
Last week, my doctor told me I had “high cholesterol.” Naturally, I asked him where he got his information. He said “a blood test.” Then I asked him who funded the blood test. He couldn’t answer.
Folks, that’s all I needed to know. So I decided to do my own research.
Why I Did My Own Research Instead Of Trusting Experts
In today’s America, we’re told to “trust the experts.” But who are these so-called experts? And why do they always seem to know things I don’t? It’s almost like they went to school for years just to make me feel stupid. Well, I’m not falling for it.
I started by typing my question into a search engine. Within seconds, I had access to millions of results. However, I’m not a sheep, so I didn’t read all of them. Instead, I read the ones that made sense to me—which, coincidentally, agreed with what I thought before I started.
Some people call this “confirmation bias.” I call it “being right.”
What I Found When I Did My Own Research
My research led me to several websites I’d never heard of, which only proved how suppressed the truth really is. Furthermore, one site featured a man who used to be a doctor before he wasn’t anymore. Another had a video filmed in someone’s car. These are the voices Big Media doesn’t want you to hear.
Why would they suppress these voices? Probably because they’re funded by Big Cholesterol. (Speaking of suppressed truths, my colleague Melody recently wrote about asking her gut for medical advice—and her gut has never been wrong.)
Additionally, I found a forum where regular people shared their experiences. One man said he stopped taking his medication and felt “fine.” Another said cholesterol was “invented in the 1970s to sell drugs.” I have no way to verify this, but it felt true, and that’s what matters.
The Conclusions Of My Research
By the end of my investigation, I had concluded exactly what I suspected all along: I am fine, everyone else is wrong, and the real problem is that no one listens to people like me.
My doctor wants me to take a statin. But I’ve done my research—fourteen hours on YouTube, three conversations with my neighbor Gary (who knows a guy), and one very long shower where I really thought about it. Consequently, I know more than someone who merely spent eight years in medical school.
That’s not arrogance. That’s independent thinking. And if more people did their own research instead of blindly trusting “experts” with “degrees” and “peer-reviewed studies,” this country would be in a lot better shape.
My research says I should take a victory lap. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
