Healthcare costs and the myth of prevention that involves multi-screening, multi-testing and high NNT drugs like statins

Healthcare costs and the myth of prevention that involves multi-screening, multi-testing and the high cost of medication like statins: the Wall Street Journal carries this thoughtful article.

See also www.slate.com article - It explains 'relative risk' and in particular considers whether the prescribing of statins as treatment for high cholesterol levels is justified. - A statistical tool you may never have heard of is NNT - the 'number needed to treat'.

True prevention of avoidable/chronic illness and avoidable disability entails good nutrition, along with drastic reduction of sodium intake, e.g. by cooking fresh food instead of microwaving convenience foods high in salt, and eating plenty of fruit and unsalted vegetables. Above all, avoid dieting! - Dieting is unnecessary, ineffective, and, more often than not, harmful.

It's also a good idea to avoid prescription drugs unless they are absolutely necessary, because so often their side-effects include obesity/sodium retention/fluid retention/salt sensitivity and a host of attendant chronic illness.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!

Professor Malcolm Law is advocating mass medication to reduce blood pressure and the risk of stroke

Professor Malcolm Law is advocating mass medication - blood pressure drugs for ALL the over 55s for the rest of their lives - to reduce blood pressure and the risk of stroke. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8057850.stm

A bit extreme, don'tya think? - A bit OTT? - A bit daft? - I agree with you. - Makes you wonder whether it was a drug company that funded the research, doesn't it?

Here are the two safe, easy, rapid, drug-free ways to reduce your blood pressure and your risk of stroke and risk of a load of other illnesses too, as well as lowering your weight if you are overweight:

1. Avoid taking prescription drugs unless they are really necessary, because many of them actually CAUSE high blood pressure and risk of stroke and heart attack and type 2 diabetes, etc.

2. Cut down on salt/sodium and salty food.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it!

A fresh debate will begin this month about putting fluoride in drinking water if a health authority goes ahead with adding it to the supplies.

New row over adding of fluoride to drinking water
article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"Most residents of Southampton will have no choice but to receive fluoridated tap water if the South Central Strategic Health Authority agrees to the proposal. Its board is to make a decision on Thursday February 26 following a consultation.

While many health experts argue that adding fluoride will help improve children's teeth, critics believe it is a coercive form of "mass medication" with unproven benefits.

If fluoride is added it will increase the concentration of the chemical in Southampton's water twelvefold, from 0.08 parts per million (ppm) to one ppm."

Personally, I'm against adding fluoride to the drinking water supply.
