High Cholesterol Helps Your Body Fight Cancer by Fueling Immune Cells

I’ve been fighting the medical establishment for more than three decades over cholesterol. 

While Big Medicine and Big Pharma have demonized and declared war on this essential molecule, I’ve been teaching my patients about how critical cholesterol is for your health. 

Mainstream medicine still insists high cholesterol is at the root of the heart disease epidemic across the developed world. 

They couldn’t be more wrong.  

Cholesterol does not cause heart disease.  

I know this may all sound jarring, because your own doctor has probably told you how important it is to battle high cholesterol levels. 

But multiple major studies disprove it — including the landmark Framingham Heart Study, which found no link between high cholesterol and a raised risk of heart disease.10 

Inflammation causes heart disease, and Big Pharma has made a fortune from denying it. That’s because treating cholesterol is the most profitable industry in history. 

But these cholesterol-busting statin drugs aren’t only way off target when it comes to defeating heart disease... 

New research now reveals that when you lower your cholesterol levels you also reduce your body’s ability to fight cancer. 

It’s almost certainly no coincidence that cancer rates in America have surged since Big Pharma introduced the first commercial cholesterol- busting statin drug in 1987.11 

I’m not suggesting that statins cause cancer, but what I am saying is that these toxic drugs have compromised your immune system’s ability to fight and target cancer cells as they develop into tumors. 

There is even evidence to suggest the higher your cholesterol levels are, the longer you live. 

You see, cholesterol is part of your body. For example... 

It's a very bad idea to declare war on a part of your body. You can't win. 

In this Confidential Cures article, you’ll learn just how important cholesterol is to your life and what you can do to ensure your levels remain healthy. The first step is to stop letting doctors scare or worry you with their cholesterol lies. 

Recent research from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City suggests that cholesterol plays a key role in boosting your body’s natural cancer-fighting abilities.12 

You see, cholesterol is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of cell membranes, which directly influences the way your cells communicate and function.

This includes your immune system cells, which are your body’s frontline defense against cancerous cells.  

The key cancer-fighting players of your immune system, such as T-cells and natural killer cells, all require cholesterol to fuel their proper function. 

Specifically, the study revealed that cholesterol plays a crucial role in the function of dendritic cells. These are a special kind of immune cell that help your body recognize and fight cancer by activating T-cells and natural killer cells. 

Dendritic cells also operate like scouts in your body. They travel through your blood stream and into organs, patrolling for threats like cancer cells and alert the immune system to attack tumors. 

To accomplish these important tasks effectively, dendritic cells must mature and communicate with other immune cells — a process that is fueled by cholesterol. 

The study, published in Nature Immunology, shows that cholesterol helps form small, cholesterol-rich structures on the surface of dendritic cells called lipid nanodomains, which are vital for signaling the immune system to recognize and fight cancer. 

But boosting dendritic cells isn’t the only way cholesterol helps your body fight cancer... 

Cholesterol also plays a crucial role in hormone production. 

Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate various bodily functions, including cell growth and division. 

Abnormal levels of certain hormones have been linked to an increased risk of cancer development. 

In other words, by maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, your body can better regulate the production and balance of these hormones, thus reducing your risk of cancer.
