Just in case any of you or your family are on or considering statins, I thought I would let you know I have just written a response to the recent call for everyone over 50 to have statins on the Purehealth blog. Check it out here if need be: Should Everyone Over 50 Be Given Statins? Short answer: poppycock!
I think the following quote I came across this week needs to be applied here and in many other similar circumstances:
“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition” Thomas Edison
Ha! I used to have that quote as a banner in my clinic at one point! Although from memory, I don’t think the original one said ‘drugs’ so I think that has been manipulated a bit, but same principle!
