Brownstone Institute () reports on that other strategy alleged by some to wreak havoc with out health:- statins.
Everybody these days (at least above a certain age) it seems is "advised" to take statins as a preventative "because cholesterol" (and maybe because it's more dosh into the pockets of Big Pharma).
This is controversial, as cholesterol is a somewhat oversimplified term with various versions and shades of effects. It's natural, and we would die without it.
My own rule now is that my body simply cannot be unwell due to a lack of pharmaceutical products, which have only been invented in the blink of the last 100 years or so.
We know such products are not natural because natural products cannot be patented, and the pharma companies can't charge huge prices for them. How then would I be "cured" by ingestion of such?
Even if somebody would discover a completely natural form of statin, I wouldn't accept it as a blanket recommendation, only as a positive step toward treating a specific health problem.
Otherwise, how could I judge if it is effective?
And if I can't judge, then my doctor is in practice out of my control.
Whatever the pharma-medico-industrial-government complex wants us to believe, these decisions are not rocket science.
