I stress I am not medically qualified so you will have to take my comments as such. I am not against patients with serious disease going for the better of two evils but you know that it was not long ago that there was pressure to mass medicate all over the age of 50 with Statins based on the evidence of the drug then? This was for perfectly healthy people.
My friend for his age was put on statins not because he was ill but because of his age and as a precaution with a dramatic negative change in his well being ( See my earlier post}
