I am a LPN nurse and have been studied Nutrition and Medicine. I have found that most of the drugs given senior citizens are poison and not needed. For an example Statin drugs. I wrote a blog on it
The Cholesterol Myths

Thank you. Statins are poison. They create more age related disease than anything, other than possibly BP medicines. I have steadfastly refused to take Statins against doctors wishes for 20 years and will continue to refuse them. It has been my experience that most things respond just as well or better to “natural” or alternative methods as they do to drugs. Researchers have found that Cholesterol does not cause heart attacks & strokes. The stats are just not there for the premise. If I had begun taking the Statins 20 years ago I would probably be dead by now from kidney or liver disease. Instead I am a healthy 79 with high Cholesterol which gives me no problems. Sure, I might have a stroke or heart problem, but aren’t all persons my age at risk for those?
