There is nothing like taking responsibility for your own health
and researching the different treatments.
By law in Texas doctors are supposed to give you all the alternative
treatments and the pros and cons of everything. That's called informed
consent. I have yet to go to a doctor that has done that. I have been
handed a sack of Lipitor after a 15 minute consultation.
without true informed consent into the treatment that is being recommended
and alternatives a person is blindly allowing another to dictate their
health choices and as we see over and over that is a potentially dangerous
thing
to do. Especially when we know the drug companies don't give a rat's ass
for the patients when compared to the profits.
After heart disease and cancer, the third most common cause of death
is iatrogenic, or doctor caused. Statins are the new estrogens, and
the marketing people are trying to sell that statins prevent
Alzheimer's just as marketers tried to sell estrogens to prevent
dementia. Some wise physician once said that when you have a tonic
that treats everything, it is likely that it treats nothing. Now we
have a plethora of drugs that treat everything. Some preventive
monitoring is a good idea, but increasingly one needs to be skeptical
about medical advice, especially direct from a doctor.
