Statins are a prime example, the pharmacutical giants have influenced the
medical profession to the extent that they prescribe billions of pounds
worth of a by & large unproven drug which has unpleasant side effects.
I have been taken statins for years and the only (side)-effect I've
noticed is a dramatic lowering of my cholesterol levels.
