Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I thought some would find this of interest Clare in Tasmania Have been told by your doctor that you are at risk of heart disease? Have you had a heart attack or stroke? Have you been advised to go on cholesterol lowering statins and other heart medicines? Before you go on these drugs, think twice. If you are already on any of these medicines, you can still think twice. I urge you to research your condition thoroughly. Do not blindly assume that your doctor or cardiologist is really up with the latest in healthy heart management. Do not assume that agencies like the Heart Foundation are looking after your best interests either. Health is Big Business nowadays - a huge worldwide money-maker that thrives by having one hand in your pocket and the other firmly gripping your taxes. The reality is that there is no benefit to "Health Inc" by you, the consumer, actually being healthy. And, if you insist on being healthy, then they will do their best to have you worry about being well! Health Inc: Advocacy organisations, hospitals, Government Departments, private and university research institutions, PHO medical clinics and drugs companies that participate in a multi billion dollar money scramble. All supposedly working for your benefit. More like an exercise in smoke and mirrors to keep fooling you, the hapeless consumer, into keeping on handing over your hard earned wages and taxes to them. The major gains in public health have come through measures such as clean water, sewage, housing and education - Not from drugs based medicine, much of which is subject to challenge. Take control of your health: If you want to live a long and healthy life, then you need to look after yourself, if you will excuse the double meaning. Here are two websites about heart disease and other health issues that are a wealth of information for you the consumer: http://pi-bill-articles.blogspot.com/The author of this blog is a consumer who spent 20 or so years on heart medication before he realised the truth about what these drugs were doing to him. This blog is full of medical research information about statins and other heart medications, along with his comments. Well worth the read. http://jeffreydach.com/Move over to the Dach Side with this doctor who has seen the light. I have nothing but praise for Dr Dach who does a terrific job at explaining the real mechanisms behind illnesses such as heart disease and he offers advcie about healthy interventions. Please note: I am most definitely not anti medicine. I have nothing but praise for modern emergency medicine. If I was run over by a bus tomorrow, modern emergency medicine may be my saviour. The same can not be said of drugs based medicine when it comes to preventing and treating diseases associated with ageing, nutrition and lifestyle. http://blog.garymoller.com/2008/12/do-heart-medications-and-cholesterol.html Please help stop email address harvesting and subsequent spamming & protect your family, friends and yourself.Use BCC when sending to multiple email addresses and also delete old email addresses BEFORE forwarding on emails.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Almost 3 years ago I had a blow to my head while at work. It was a 5 pound pop rivet gun that flipped off the shelf and struck the right top side of my head. Because of the weight, they were sure I could not have sustained a very damaging blow. I was told over and over it was a minor concussion. When it did not clear up within a few days I was told I was depressed. I should be taking anti depressants. I refused vehemently. I out right told one doctor they were wrong with their diagnosis. I ran the gauntlet of the medical profession because in Canada WSIb sends you to all these supposedly knowledgeable medical professionals. At that time I was barely able to walk, the dizziness was astronical, lights hurt my eyes as though daggers were being thrust into them. Nausea was my constant companion. As the first year progressed my walking was so bad I thought I was going to end up in a wheel chair. Having all the medical profession repeatedly telling me, " you are depressed there is no reason you can't walk, " started niggling at me. Could they be right? I still staunchly refused any drugs and I am sure they were not happy with me. I am glad I did not. I was not depressed but suffering from a head injury. I did not follow protocol for a head injury. I was not slammed into a windshield, no one used a hammer etc so I could not possibly have that much of a head injury. From my history, I did not follow the usual sort of person that does not want to work so they just could not figure out what could possibly be wrong with me. I also learned that WSIB will tell the doctors what they are to say. So looking at it from the doctors point of view, I would not want to go up against the WSIB either. They could make things very intolerable to say the least. So if you feel that you are right and don't need the medicine they are telling you is so good for you, stick to your guns, learn how to look after your own health. You will be healthier for it.
