opinion piece. A friend of mine has had a severe reaction to an antibiotic (she's been in pain for almost 2 yrs now) so she's gotten into the holistic thing, as has my sister who is actually a lot better, but she said that docs get $60k for each diabetic patient (probably lifelong) because they are prescribing statins which can cause diabetes. Anyone here get diabetes after taking a statin for CHOLESTEROL? My brother did so I'm interested.

I have a problem with big pharma and the VA. The VA seems to be the canary in the cave.

however, for fellow conspirators, here's an update on the deaths of holistic doctors. The title has a typo? it was fifteen not fifty.

Our physician wanted my wife on statins but also said her cholesterol was excellent. If her cholesterol is excellent, why the statins we asked? She said because she's diabetic as a pre-caution. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

Type II diagnosis in December after having been on statins since 2003. Hit me like a ton of brick.

I don't think it's a typo. Not all doctors are listed. Dr Ash of NYC is not on that list. He died suddenly Dec 2015.

60k for a patient? Ha yeah right. Everything of value received by a doc is published. You can look it up online on the hhs website.

I have 2 brothers who took statins and both are now diabetic.

I don’t care which type of treatment your family chooses

Pharmaceutical reps bring in lunch and an educational seminar. The lynches are ok but nothing special. The seminars can be quite good

This ain’t what helps a doc decide to prescribe something

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

So a doctor is bribed with a ten dollar lunch a couple of time a month?

Okay.

they should ban drug advertising and marketing. The market is the sick people and they should just concentrate on helping them rather then advertising to the masses and telling them to "ask the doc" if it's right for you.*

*disclaimer: this may cause heartburn in executive levels of big pharma, may decrease the amount of unnecessary medicine treating various made up ailments. frequent bouts of unnecessary diarrhea caused by side effects may be reduced, as well as bloating, sudden death and double bloating.

Statins kill.

Instead, solve the problem.

Holistic “doctors” are not physicians. I would guess the family members of these hucksters likely did them in. Are there any other big industries that are villains too, or is it just those that sell life-saving drugs. If drug companies are such villains, why buy any of their products? It’s a choice, not a requirement to buy drugs.

Holistic doctors aren't immortal? Weird!
