Time For A NEW Prevention Strategy?

Question

being that the Chjolesterol Campaigh is a DISMAL FAILURE for the prevention of coronary heart disease don't you think it is time for a NEW PREVENTION STRATEGY?

Answer 1

The key to prevention is found at the end of ones fork. You won't, however find any Dr. to tell you that. Why? well one reason is because they study MEDICINE (not nutrition) The other is that doctors make money when people are sick.
The food industry is yet another reason. How do you think the dairy farmers of America would respond to an ad campaign saying that milk was actually harmful? Or the Cattlemans' association would think about the fact that animal fat/protein is the #1 contributor to heart disease?
It could get ugly.

Answer 2

Hey Oldman, Rozwell, Ashley, Mike...what up?

Here are some facts:
From 1994 to 2004, death rates from coronary heart disease declined 33 percent.

In the same 10-year period the actual number of deaths declined 8 percent despite a larger number of people who are getting older.

The number of people who show up in the ER in the midst of a severe heart attack (STEMI) is substantially less than what it used to be. People are now showing up with much more commonly with mild presentations that are far less life threatening (NSTEMI) and can be treated without significant long term consequences.

The people who do have severe heart attacks are always the people who are NOT being treated for their controllable risk factors - diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol (I know this is going to send you over the edge), and smoking cessation.

So, what do you propose to enhance the treatment plan?

-Addendum-
Yes, and rates for obesity and diabetes is way higher too. Not very constructive in your reply...and you called me a name. I guess I'll have to report that.
-Addendum, addendum-
Wait, I make money by renewing prescriptions? Hmm and I always thought it was unreimbursible administrative work (usually done early in the morning or early evening) that takes about an hour a day, requiring a chart review of each patient, ordering appropriate tests for monitoring, and having patients come in for check-ups if we haven't seen them in a year. I wonder where the money comes in?

Have a great day.

Answer 3

I said AGE ADJUSTED INCIDENCE NOT death rate.


They are NOT SUCCESSFUL IN PREVENTING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE


They ONLY have gotten better at TREATING IT ONCE YOU GET IT.

ANTHONY COLPO KNOWS THIS AND HAS SAID IT MANY TIMES.



People


Orthodoxy just wants to perform all sorts of MENTAL ACROBATICS to defend a hypothesis that has been a proven failure

This should be PROOF to you that they are NOT intersted in public's health and the TRUTH about coronary heart disease



They MAKE ALOT OF MONEY with this cholesterol BULLSHIT


In fact docotrs MAKE MORE by writing you a prescription ofr Lipitor than by seeing you


THIS is why they refill over the phone WITHOUT EVEN SEEING YOU FOR QUITE SOME TIME. . They do NOT do this for other medcines.



They also do not seem to care about making sure you get blood work to test for liver damage on this VERY TOXIC LIVER DAMAGING STATIN DRUG

Answer 4

Finally! A new personality.

To answer the question, medicine is always evolving. However, it evolves as new knowledge develops. Two "scientists" with inferiority complexes don't count.


If statins are so EVIL, why do 90% of patients (myself included) have NO side effects?
