Educated at Rockefeller Medical Schools. This is how it works: Examine the patient, list the symptoms - then prescribe the big pharma drugs. Funny how the big pharma drug salesmen/women never have to wait long in the doctors waiting room...
Thanks! "the limits get lower every time" - that says it all along with a discussion on "conflict of interest". My user name on GAW "Rootcause" is for a reason. Follow the $$! The love of $$ is the root of much or all evil!!
A cured patient is a lost customer!
I'm over 70 - I agree with everything you have stated! I've been testing "high" for cholesterol for the last 20 years. I have refused to go on any statin drugs. What we have to ask ourselves is what determines "high" cholesterol? A blood test - the results of which are compared against a published "Cholesterol Standard".
What I discovered is that the standard has changed multiple times over the last few decades, mostly due to what they advertise as: "new research" and evolving guidelines from health organizations. For example the LDL goal went from <130 mg/dL in 1993 to < 100 mg/dL in 2001to <70 mg/dL in 2004. A major shift occurred in 2013 which focused on overall cardiovascular risk, not just #'s. Then in 2018 they brought back LDL targets, but only for certain risk groups - LDL >70 mg/dL in high-risk people=statin benefit.
So the "standard" has been changed/revised about 4-6 times depending on what your definition of change it....
So it seems the trend has been to keep lowering the bar! Each time the bar is lowered more patients "need" statin drugs. I say it's all bravo sierra (BS)! The groups that are selling us the statin drugs are closely connected to the groups that are developing the cholesterol "standards! It's about $$ NOT patient health.
Thanks! Sounds like you have really done your homework. I try to see my doc only once a year also. Did you notice what type of bio-feedback machine he uses? I'm very interested in that area of medicine. There's alot of talk on the internet about med-beds and quantum healing - but who knows if any of that is real.
U.S. Trade Schools plus "The American Academy".
The American Academy proposed by Donald Trump aims to create a new educational institution funded by taxing large private university endowments, offering free online educational content to all Americans. It is intended to be a non-political alternative to traditional universities, which Trump criticizes for promoting ideological biases.
I want to get to the part of "saving Israel for last"!
