It is like a bad medical TV drama. The patient is treated for something that doesn't need treating ,then needs treatment to counter the unwanted effects. The treatment required to remedy side effects causes more problems. Meanwhile those of us who refuse to participate keep getting messages to join in. This whole pantomime has made me question the validity of "Gold Standard" treatment for everyone, cardiology one of the worst offenders. It sounded good when first expounded by a GP I worked with but observing and reading wider no longer my view.
File this under the same heading as all those times when a pharma ad says, "do not stop taking [place other pharma drug here] when you start [our drug]" or words to that effect. The one thing pharma ads NEVER do is suggest that one pharma offering negates the need for another. It must be in the bylaws or something. Heaven forbids! Hell, I'm actually surprised it got cited 30 times. Willing to bet Pfizer has an entire department dedicated to making sure no paper suggests that their crap interacts badly with another pharma company's crap. Sales, dammit!
I knew about statins causing muscle aches and some neuro probs, but not about them leading to T2, presumably, diabetes. The evidence of statins reducing risk of strokes and heart attacks is very small from what I've read. Two questions: 1. Do you think the increase in T2 is caused by statins (I know several people who became diabetic T1, young fit girl, man,late 60's, T2, and mid age man, already T2, now on injections, soon after C jabs)? 2. Would this supplement aid weight loss and reverse T2 diabetes? I'm neither overweight or on any meds but know several who are, some of them using the fat jabs, most weight gain due to other meds. I'm also a bit cynical of supplements as lots made by pharma too.
What a wonderful irony that the most profitable drug in medical history (based on the cholesterol myth) may be undone by an equally questionable disorder called Type 2 Diabetes. The latter is nothing more than hyperglycemia and that is the only similarity to true diabetes. Over decades of medical practice I found that practically any adult labelled as a Type 2 diabetic could easily control their glucose levels with a low carbohydrate diet. And there isn't a shred of scientifically credible evidence that taking a statin drug is beneficial.
