Most doctors are still trying to put us all on statins. Most life insurance companies still won’t sell you insurance if you’re really fit, have great bp and ‘high cholesterol’. Talking with a person visiting from Scotland yesterday, it is painfully obvious that Americans are penalized in this for not buying into the corporate food, medicine and entertainment industry. Makes you want to be like the Amish.

Physicians not in private practice are now required to prescribe a statin if the persons cholesterol is above a base number. Regardless of the health of the individual. Medicine by the numbers is the path we are on! Also includes injections for grading.
