Stop the Insanity

This article describes how minimally a statin gives protection against a heart attack for those at risk:

Besides providing little benefit and putting financial stress on people to afford them, the side effect incidences go mostly unreported and people eat poorly and do not exercise as much, thinking the statin will protect them. For me, Lipitor greatly interfered with my ability to exercise, leaving me in pain and easily fatigued and miserable.

It will take several more years for the medical community to see the damage they have done to their patients. Insurance companies will eventually wake up as well and realize these drugs are causing them more of an expense than saving them in hospital stays and extra doctor visits to monitor blood. Hopefully, most pharmaceutical companies will face so many law suits that they will stop trying to poison the world.
