Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 So My question is, if this is being published by the AMA, why are our doctors still prescribing Statins? Zoe, I think your question was probably rhetorical but here's what I think: 1. Because they are brainwashed to only prescribe pharmaceutical drugs. Allopathic medicine doesn't allow for other options normally. 2. Because Big Pharma pays Big $$ to wine, dine and schmooze our doctors with incentives to continue to prescribe their drugs. (my DH is a former pharmaceuatical salesman and I used to work for Astra Zeneca). It's all about the MONEY. 3. Because statins decrease inflammation leading to cardiac disease and the majority believe that plus atherosclerosis are what cause heart attacks and stroke. I hope soon they will begin to accept the new truths about cholesterol, but I'm not holding my breath. Re: Re: colesterol Hello imgayleim, But of course !!!! We all knew that now didn't we? Well we surmised it even if we didn't know it. LOL. This is great news and a good piece of research on your part. So My question is, if this is being published by the AMA, why are our doctors still prescribing Statins?
