Maybe we can get some of the researchers to help with existential questions like, how does the water get into the coconut ?
Compliance is always an issue. Then comes genetics as to metabolic pathways and whether therapeutic levels are achieved. The use of a drug vs pro-drug. The l or r isomer.
Reminds me of the answer to the question : Doc I have been taking this statin for 5 years, I feel like it has not done me any good.
Well, have you had another MI ? …. Pt’s expect more tangible evidence than points on a curve. That’s why antibiotics and pain killers compliance are better.
We can’t lose the faith and continue doing the best we can with what we have.
My husband has dementia and his primary threatening us. He told us if husband didn’t take the statin that he would stop treating for dementia. We said sure doc no problem. Got the script and threw it in the trash.
He then wanted hubby on a twice a month cholesterol shot 😳 We told him we had no problems with the pills, but no to shot because I could not take hubs to his office twice a month.
Hubs is bed bound now and I am certain statin could not help Corticalbasal syndrome. But, doc thought would. And he threatened us while we were vulnerable. I’ll never forget it. I’ll never see him myself.
I’m sick of the medical community. Except for hospice. Hospice don’t play!
But what to my knowledge is new and John pointed it out last friday is the co-primary endpoint: We now know abit better, that the non fatal MIs and strokes not only do not shorten the lifespan , they also do not affect the quality of life. Whether this is worth the money? For me as a GP more than many other trials
So agree with this article especially the recommendation for taking that taxpayer money to fund the National Park service! Getting people outdoors, close to nature, exercising throughout the lifetime would certainly seem to be a great way to lower chronic disease risk and hopefully happiness as well.
Dear Vinay, Munich is in Bavaria ( which claims to be part of Germany, as well as California claims to be part of the US) and is about 1000km away from denmark.

So patients don’t live longer or better. And half stopped the drug by 5 years. Hmmmmm
I completely agree 🙂👍

I am so sorry that this was the response at such a time
