What happens when a practicing neurosurgeon questions the very medical system he works in? Dr. Ravi Kumar reveals how pharmaceutical companies profit from keeping you sick while suppressing common sense approaches to health.

From the $15 billion statin industry to the vegetable oil deception that's fueling chronic disease, this conversation exposes how medical "truths" are often based on flawed studies and financial interests rather than what actually keeps you healthy.

What You'll Discover

The Statin Scandal Exposed

- Why these fungal toxins masquerading as medicine may be causing the very problems they claim to prevent

- How statins destroy mitochondrial function and muscle strength (the #1 factor for longevity)

- The shocking truth about cholesterol: it's a repair molecule your brain literally can't survive without

The Seed Oil Conspiracy

- Why "vegetable" oils are actually industrial byproducts created with gasoline components

- How omega-6 fatty acids from processed oils are driving systemic inflammation and chronic disease

- The simple swaps that can dramatically reduce your disease risk

Supplements That Actually Matter

- Why 2 billion people are zinc deficient and what this means for your cellular function

- The truth about vitamin C: why the RDA keeps you barely alive instead of thriving

- How to know if you need supplements versus getting nutrients from food

Saturated Fat Vindicated

- How one flawed study in the 1960s vilified the fats humans have eaten for millennia

- Why your ancestors' diet of butter, eggs, and meat was actually protecting their hearts

- The real cause of cardiovascular disease (hint: it's not cholesterol)

Key Quotes from Dr. Kumar

“Heart disease is not inevitable. We have epidemiological studies that show some people never develop heart disease. This challenges the fear-based messaging used to sell medications and treatments.

“Statins are fungal toxins. A neurosurgeon's perspective on why these billion-dollar drugs may be doing more harm than good.

“25% of your body's total cholesterol is in the brain. The brain cannot get cholesterol from your body - it makes its own cholesterol. This explains why statin-induced brain fog and dementia are real concerns being ignored.”

“None of our ancestors ever put a teaspoon of seed oil in their mouth. It just didn't exist - it's an industrial process. A reality check on what we're calling "food" today.

The Rebellious Truth About Modern Medicine

Here's what the medical establishment doesn't want you to know: many of today's health recommendations are based on studies from 50+ years ago that have since been debunked. Meanwhile, newer research showing the benefits of traditional foods and the dangers of processed alternatives gets buried because there's no profit in telling people to eat real food.

The system profits from chronic disease management, not cures. When a neurosurgeon tells you to question everything - including his own profession - it's time to listen.

✓ Those ready to question medical dogma and think critically about their health choices

Want to take action?

Audit Your Kitchen: Remove seed oils (vegetable oil, canola oil, soybean oil) and replace with olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, or grass-fed butter. This single change can dramatically reduce inflammation.

Question Your Prescriptions: If you're on statins, research the actual benefits for someone in your risk category. Most people taking them receive minimal benefit while facing significant side effects. I’ve written extensively on statins and women. Here is a 2-part article on my blog.

Part 2 here.

Think Like Your Ancestors: Ask yourself if your great-grandparents would recognize what's on your plate. The further you get from traditional foods, the more likely you are to develop modern diseases.

Supplement Strategically: Focus on nutrients difficult to get from modern food (vitamin C, zinc if vegetarian/vegan, omega-3s) rather than expensive formulations with dubious claims.
