@ko-Daegu No, I take ibuprofen and expectorants etc.
There's a huge difference between patented items like Lipitor and open source anti-inflammatory drugs.
The key is reading the clinical research trials. Some 90% of them are crap with a 1% efficacy and/or negative risks.
For example, Lipitor significantly raises your risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, and kidney failure. It is listed as a 37% efficacy, though it's absolute efficacy is 1.7% in it's clinical trial research. The company then takes that number and divides it against the initial control group to get a larger percentage. Almost all Pharmaceutical companies do this to get their product sold and FDA approved.
Vioxx by Pfizer was approved by the FDA, then it ended up killing 27,000 people before they yanked it off the shelf and lost a civil lawsuit paying $1.1 Billion in damages.
It's all about trends. Once these companies are exposed publicly, they'll eat each other and come out with a new product to right the wrongs. It's a giant circle jerk.
The current trend is still (lower your cholesterol). They put people on Statins typically at age 45-50 and those people will most likely have a bypass by 60 and dead within a few years after.
Artificially lowering your cholesterol can make you very suspectable to infection and vitamin D deficiency. Since they go hand in hand in your bio-chemistry.
The morbid part, is that when those people end up in the hospital, they blame it on bad genetics.
Our healthcare system is fucked up.
