No, I'm not whining or complaining. I'm using this as an example of how uninformed (I'll refrain from saying stupid) medical doctors give people useless and dangerous advice. I'm speaking to a friend the other day. She says she avoids all drugs except one - her MD put her on LipitorT to keep her cholesterol low. "I'm sure you wouldn't approve," she adds. No, I don't approve. First of all LipitorT and all those other cholesterol-lowering drugs do not save lives. Let me repeat it, they do not save lives. They do in fact interfere with CoQ10 metabolism and can cause sudden heart failure. But it gets worse. High cholesterol is protective in older people. That's right, studies have shown that those 65 and over with high cholesterol actually live longer. (Brescianini S, Maggi S, Farchi G et al. for the ILSA Group. Low total cholesterol and increased risk of dying: Are low levels clinical warning signs in the elderly? Results from the Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging. J Am Geriatr Soc. 2003;51:991-996.) A recent paper put it this way: "Low cholesterol level is a robust predictor of mortality in the nondemented elderly and may be a surrogate of frailty or subclinical disease." (Schupf N. et al. Relationship between plasma lipids and all-cause mortality in nondemented elderly. J Am Geriatr Soc. 2005;53(2):219-226.) My friend is 81; what scientific research shows it's safe and beneficial to give LipitorT to her? None, zip, zippo. Low cholesterol is the last thing she needs. The research that was done was probably performed on lower life forms such as 3rd year medical students and doesn't relate to the needs of regular people. In fact, almost no drug research does. For example, if LipitorT was studied on 50-year-old white men, how does that relate to my friendr? How does it relate to a 50-year-old black man or woman or an Asian or a Hispanic? What if it were done on 81-year-old black men? Does that give us information on what it will do to others? Answer - no, it won't. Most drugs are poorly researched on test groups that have no relation to the individual sitting across from the doctor's desk. That's because controlled clinical trials do not work - they don't relate to you or me or our mothers or fathers. Did my friend listen to me? What do you think? Family - don't get me started.   Dr. Klopfer - 9:55 - 114 comments Aspartame - Findings that speak for themselves One hundred male rats and 100 female rats were followed from 8 weeks of age until their deaths from natural causes. The rats were fed aspartame (NutrasweetT) at doses approximating a wide range of human consumption levels, from very low levels to very high. Each rat was autopsied following its spontaneous death, and exposed animals were found to have a higher rate of leukemias, lymphomas, kidney and pelvic cancers and a brain cancer. Soffritti M. Environmental Health Perspectives, Nov. 17, 2005; online edition. Related Study: Soffritti M, Belpoggi F, Esposti DD et al. Aspartame induces lymphomas and leukaemias in rats. European Journal of Oncology. 2005;10(2). Aspartame (APM) is found in more than 6,000 products, including soft drinks, chewing gum, candy, yoghurt, tabletop sweeteners, vitamins and sugar-free cough drops. Average aspartame daily intake in the general population.is even more in children and pregnant women. "Aspartame, in our experimental conditions, causes a statistically significant, dose-related increase in lymphomas and leukaemias in females. No statistically significant increase in malignant brain tumours was observed among animals from the treated groups as compared to controls."

I guess it flew away. But the drug company profit$ remain. Ah, how we respond to fear tactics: "this flu may jump to humans, it may cause a pandemic, it may happen.." And I may be elected president. Why did we have a bird flu problem in the first place? MDs may have caused it. Look at this: Bad vaccines may trigger China bird flu: expert. HONG KONG (Reuters) - China is most likely using substandard poultry vaccine or not enough good vaccine, which would explain recent outbreaks of the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus in poultry, a prominent virologist said on Thursday. Dr Robert Webster, of St Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, said the problem of substandard vaccines was not exclusive to China. "There is bad vaccine that stops the disease in the bird but the bird goes on pooping out virus and maintaining it and changing it. And I think this is what is going on in China. It has to be. Either there is not enough vaccine being used or there is substandard vaccine being used. Probably both." http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051229/hl_nm/birdflu_china_vaccine_dc   Dr. Klopfer - 0:0 - 607 comments ADD       Home | Search Directory | Articles | Links | Products | Blog | Health Tips | Terms | Testimonials Listing Sign-up | Chiro Login | XML Feed About Us | Site Map | Contact Us
