| You may be right that statin might be the next blood letting, but why put your entire trust in a fringe community of Doctors when the vast evidence and most professional health care feel statins are helpful.
Blood letting was accepted practice that most Doctors at the time believed to help, but the difference between then and now is the scientific method of research trials that take place to guide Doctors in their decisions.
Decades of research has proven that statins and other lipid-lowering therapies are very effective in reducing the risk for major vascular events, such as death from cardiovascular causes, heart attack, stroke, or needing a coronary stent or bypass surgery.
We have data now from over 20 statin trials of over 135,000 patients that show statins compared with placebo or no medication result in a 23 percent reduction in heart attacks, 17 percent reduction in fatal or non-fatal stroke and 19 percent reduction in death from cardiovascular causes. | |
