Velvet throated Mandy sings the siren statin song as he descends the blue white numbered staircase. Cholesterol, it seems is your sworn enemy, impossible for a normal person like you to defeat. No matter what you do, you can't win without Mandy's brand of statin medication.
Mandy isn't alone, of course, statin drugs are peddled by lots tv salesmen and women. Pharmaceutical companies love statin drugs. Why? Well, you have to take them every day year in year out until the day you die. There's money for them in that. If you take them you may be paying a dollar a day. Remember the flu shot crisis last year? It was a crisis because most companies don't make flu shots. You only need one shot a year. There's no money in that.
Today I got Mail.
I got a note from my doctor written on blood test report sheets: He said, “Dear....: These are good reports. Your cholesterol is excellent...” Well, I must be taking my regular dose of statins, right? No.
A few years ago, I took up Dr. Ornish’s Reversing Heart Disease diet, which is basically vegetarian. The diet's daily medicaton cost is zero. Bad for the drug companies. Good for you.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if Mandy would say, "Hey, there's wonderful news! You can avoid a lifetime of medication simply by changing the way you eat." And wouldn't you love to get the letter I got from my doctor from your doctor? I bet you would!
