How Does Mainstream Medicine Treat High Cholesterol?
Mainstream medicine's approach to high cholesterol is a lab number and a statin.
LDL too high? Start a pill. Still high? Raise the dose. Muscle pain, brain fog, fatigue? Maybe switch statins. For how long? Usually for life.

What Does Mainstream Medicine Miss About High Cholesterol?
The number does not say why the system went off track. The body raises cholesterol production when something is not working right and needs repair.
High cholesterol has a root cause. Cholesterol on a lab report matters, but the number doesn't tell you why the system went off track. If you only push the number down, the upstream problem is still there.
Cholesterol is a building block the body uses on purpose. Production goes up when something in the body isn't working right and needs repair.
