Vitamin C Forum

What quack that doctor is! He's right, the vitamin C contradicts the statins. The statins will kill you, the vitamin C will enliven you. Sheesh.

Any doctor that makes me stop taking my Vitamin C in favor of a drug that causes alzheimers', congestive heart failure, activates the antogin1 gene that destroys muscles and causes cancer, is no doctor of mine for sure. I can't help but think that our own doctors are out to kill us.

Actually, what I meant to say is that sometimes I think the medical establishment is trying its best to kill off the baby boomers by prescribing drugs like statins so that the nation doesn't have to deal with social security issues and rising medical costs as boomers age.

J.Lilinoe,

I don't like statins either, but don't exaggerate. They are not an evil solution to population control or rising baby-boomer medical costs. Talking like that to friends will not get them off statins, but will damage your credibility.

Dolev,
Thanks, but you don't have to agree with me or worry about damaging my credibility with my friends. Most of my friends trust their doctors so much that I usually just end up telling them only about stains side effects and leave them alone to continue trusting their doctors. Afterall, the medical establishment is big business. If they don't keep you sick, they don't make money.

I may even agree with you in general about the evils of the medical establishment, the actual shepards who are leading the flock of doctors and other medical quack professionals. I just don't think the statins are relatively bad compared to other drugs, even though the statins don't work. I definitely agree that they intentionally keep people sick.

A major issue in the US is the rising cost of medical care. When free universal medical care is provided by the gov't, it will be much worse. The gov't can't give anything "free", since they have no money of their own. They either tax the population, or they print the money, which leads to the insidious tax of inflation. Another awful thought is that since medical care is becoming ridiculously beyond the means of the American people and gov't, that old or sick people will be killed off, by drugs or other means. I think that Nazi Germany began with this.

The rising cost of medical care in the US has a lot to do with drugs and procedures that promote sickness, right? Subtract those out and maybe the cost might be something affordable.

Not to mention loads of laws and regulations which govern things like the number of hospitals, doctor offices etc. that can open in a given area. Every time I hear someone talk about America's free market medical care system I just roll my eyes, because I know it is anything but that. There is nothing like restricting supply and pumping people with fear to inflate demand to raise prices.

Yes, and the US medical system has become an "expert" in that area for sure.
