Healthcare costs and the myth of prevention that involves multi-screening, multi-testing and high NNT drugs like statins

Healthcare costs and the myth of prevention that involves multi-screening, multi-testing and the high cost of medication like statins: the Wall Street Journal carries this thoughtful article.

See also www.slate.com article - It explains 'relative risk' and in particular considers whether the prescribing of statins as treatment for high cholesterol levels is justified. - A statistical tool you may never have heard of is NNT - the 'number needed to treat'.

True prevention of avoidable/chronic illness and avoidable disability entails good nutrition, along with drastic reduction of sodium intake, e.g. by cooking fresh food instead of microwaving convenience foods high in salt, and eating plenty of fruit and unsalted vegetables. Above all, avoid dieting! - Dieting is unnecessary, ineffective, and, more often than not, harmful.

It's also a good idea to avoid prescription drugs unless they are absolutely necessary, because so often their side-effects include obesity/sodium retention/fluid retention/salt sensitivity and a host of attendant chronic illness.

More about the bad effects of taking cholesterol-lowering statins.

Second opinion: These extraordinary drugs have the power to make a happy man very old

Extract:

""Since my husband, a previously alert and healthy man, started taking Atorvastatin, our lives have changed horrendously for the worse," writes a lady from Middlesex, echoed by others troubled variously by loss of memory, irritability, lethargy, personality change, melancholy, insomnia, excruciating muscle pains, numbness and burning of the hands and feet, bowel disturbances and much more.

There is no doubt that statins are to blame, as the improvement in in those who have "given them a rest" verges on the miraculous.

"I felt like an old man of 90 and had to use a walking stick," writes a formerly very fit ex-Marine from Dorset, who has since returned to his thrice-weekly workout in the gym.

If you are concerned about statins, see the website of Florida physician (and former Nasa astronaut) Duane Gravelin, www.spacedoc.net,) where he has posted the experience of several hundred statin victims."

If you are concerned about the health of your heart, it would be wise to cut down on the amount of salt that you eat. - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html

Heart checks 'could save 7,000 lives' says cardiologist, Professor Keith Fox.

Heart checks 'could save 7,000 lives'

Extract:

"Professor Keith Fox's comments came in the wake of a suggestion from the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network that more people over 40 should be prescribed statin drugs to control cholesterol."



My personal opinion (and I am NOT a doctor) is that by far the best measure to take would be to alert people - especially in this instance, people in Scotland, that reducing salt/sodium intake would lessen the risk of heart problems, and of overweight/obesity, and would also help to improve cholesterol levels in people with cholesterol problems. Reducing salt intake improves health in many other ways too. - It is overwhelmingly the best possible course of action to improve your health...(o:

Obesity is not caused by eating too much. - It is caused/initiated by fluid retention. - Dieting is potentially harmful.
