What happened before statins? I hadn't heard of cholesterol 25 years ago? And, why as a Race, are we becoming sicker and in need of more and more drugs and "medicines"? Why do they want to elongate our lives with all this preventative ****? So they can abuse us when we have lived long past our "best by" date, put us in nursing homes with out ailments and illnesses, costing a bomb, keeping people alive who have no quality of life and would rather not be here? I don't see any logic. My first ever thread on here was "I wanted to burn out, not Fade Away"! I still feel that way. When I was a kid in the 1950's, people drank, smoked, worked hard, didn't eat a fancy diet, weren't overweight, and could have died in their 50's or 60's. So what? They had probably had a happier life with little interferance from anyone, they just got on with it. I want to go back to those simpler, happier times of no knowledge is bliss.
