New research published in the American Journal of cardiology claims that fast food restaurants should give out statins to counter the effects of fatty foods. Fast food and statins are the new proposed combination plate.

Statin dangers

The statin pill can be as risky as the cheeseburger. Statins deplete your body of nutrients that you need to help the heart function. Statins have serious side effects. It can damage the liver, pancreas and muscles.

However, the reason some doctors give for not endorsing this idea, is that it would encourage people to lead unhealthy lives. This would mean that they would be at a higher risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.

This is the case of dumb and dumber. The logic from each side can only be understood from a medical perspective. The issue here; treat everything with a pharmaceutical. In other words mask the problem.

When the cholesterol numbers are lower and the diet is the same junk, you wind up without any benefit from the pills. The drugs don’t cut the rate of adverse events; it just makes the numbers look better. The second part of the problem isn’t the fat, but the carbs in the form or processed flour, and sugar. Diabetes risk is manly a processed food problem, not a fat one.

Junk Food Junky

People are hooked on the taste of fast food. Giving them drugs with the meal isn’t going to solve anything. It would compound the problem, there would be two dangers, instead of one. Only the medical community with a drug company’s education could come up with anything this ridiculous.

There are many different kinds of cancer, but in reality there is one underlying process.

One Cancer

There is proof that there is one type of cancer. Look at the facts. In 1970 lower-and middle-income countries (LMICs) accounted for 15% of global cancer cases. In 2008 the figure rose to 56%. Experts estimate that by 2030 the percentage will reach 70%.

What do those numbers say? Well for one there is a ecological cause, and these things are causing various cancers. Why we are losing the war on cancer is for one we don’t understand what it is. Two we are treating it in the wrong way. It is first and foremost a whole body condition. Until this is acknowledged we will be stuck thinking we are fighting different conditions.

Sure some cancers respond to certain treatments better than other locations. There are some very good reasons for this. The accessibility to the location and the truth is some cancers are classified as such, but they aren’t really cancer in the true sense.

Also depending on the location and the surrounding area cancers can have access to a better food supply.

Et Cancer

Cancer always depends on the condition and terrain of the host. Nutrition status is extremely important in the development of cancer. Lower and middle income countries have a more abundant food supply, thanks to incorporating a western type diet. Not only are there fast food outlets, but more wheat and rice that have been genetically modified. More processed food is available and the number of calories that are consumed are going up.

There is only one kind of cancer, and that comes from a poor nutritionally deficient diet, with too many calories, and a environment full of chemicals.

ADHD behaviors as seen in children seem to have very little meaning.

ADHD Diagnoses

An ADHD diagnosis seems to be arbitrary. Two published studies seem to say something is wrong with the way ADHD is diagnosed in young children. In the U.S. nearly one million kids may be misdiagnosed just because they are the youngest in their kindergarten class. The youngest in the class is twice as likely to be on stimulant medication.

What was found the youngest children were much more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and be prescribed behavior modifying stimulants such as Ritalin.

Could it be the teacher was just having a bad hair day, and had no patience for an unruly 5 year old?  Since this is such a subjective diagnosis this can be a factor.

Hyperactivity

Hyperactivity in a five year old seems normal to a sedentary adult. This is a perception, not always a reality. It is estimated that the misdiagnosis rate is about 1 in 5, and that 900,000 of the 4.5 million children currently diagnosed with ADHD have been misdiagnosed.

Wow, 4.5 million children diagnosed with ADHD is correct. I don’t buy it. With our diet, and vaccine schedule it is possible that we have fostered a nation of unruly children. This number doesn’t add up. 

Attention Deficit Disorder

Attention deficit disorder is a relatively new term. It use to be called rambunctious, acting out, class clown, energetic, and irascible behavior. With a profit center build around Ritalin, a new term is just what the drug companies ordered.

Legal drugs vs. Street Drugs, the difference profit for big pharma:
