[QUOTE="Lord Midas, post: 1456870, member: 330044"] My hospital is the [I]Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital[/I]. I've never once been told to [B]not[/B] test my blood. I have an NHS prescription card (free drugs) and use the EMIS Access website to order my meds, test strips, etc. Which I then pop to my local Lloyds pharmacy to collect in about 48 hours. The only bad advice I've received is around nutrition. However, my cholesterol went up by a few 0.something%s and they started talking about putting me on Statins (I'm 45). I've said no. NO! [INDENT][I]Studies have proven that Statins do [B]NOT [/B]prevent heart attacks or heart disease. But the side effects are SHOCKING.[/I][/INDENT] Statins can help those who have already had a heart attack, not for preventing them. Excess carbs is the cause. [/QUOTE]
