I don't agree quite with the basic. "In Western Medicine, drugs are created to treat symptoms as opposed to treating the root cause of the condition." It is certainly true to a large extent but not without many exceptions. Also we have to be grateful here in the UK, that the drugs companies do at least have to find round about ways to get doctors to sell their products for them, (though they are very good at bribery). It must be terrible to live in countries where medicine is an industry directly marketing its products at the population, and maximum sales, rather than health, are seen as the end product.

Only if you are a hypochondriac.

I learnt quite a few things about statyns that the fat ugly doctor trying to force me into taking them obviously did not know. Her last comment on them was "if 1 in 10 users of statyns are harmed but only 1 in 100 are helped, it is a no brainer".

And there are known harmless alternatives but they are not patented and giving pharmaceutical company and doctor monetary benefits.

@FrayedBear Unfortunately, none of her comments were substantiated. Not one recognised reference, blind study, etc.

@Petter the bleeding obvious needs a blind study now?

@FrayedBear Is it bleeding obvious?
If that were the case, why would she need to blog about it?

@Petter I would think that a ratio of 1 helped to 10 harmed when using statyns is obviously not a favourable ratio. That simple diet change to reduce cholesterol is preferable to pharma drug that creates a myriad of known side effects is in my book "bleeding obvious"?
As to needing to blog perhaps she fully believes Professor Cipolla's laws - [qz.com]
