Thanks Brunneria. I try to avoid religion in my posts since it tends to take things off topic, I know that the USA is increasingly moving secular, and I used to work for a top American firm, who when they took us over, banned us from displaying festive cards, and banning Merry Xmas etc. We had to wish each other a Happy Winter Break instead.Try this as a starter (see pdf file attached)
There have been several recent studies (2016) that established that the original RCT triala were based on bad statistical methods thet allowed the results to be skewed and corrupted. So the early trials seem to be useless, but these are the ones that the doctors accept as gospel truth. I personally looked at one of these trials data sets, and it was clear that the test data did not support the claims made by the dtugs company. they claimed something like a 47% reduction in CVD deaths, wheresa the data showed that it was less than 1% and poorly correlated at that.
So I refuse to take statins simply because I think they lied about how good they were for us.
Sorry cannot disuss any further due to family comittments this weekend/
Happy festive season to all my readers. Thanks Brunneria. Happy whatsit (my daughter is an athiest and forbids me using those dreaded words)
The UK company used to display a crib set in Reception, but this was banned, However the Menorah was permitted in Reception following a court case in US. I remember when the US banned the displaying of the 10 Commandments in US courts and public buildings.
I am pretty secular myself nowadays, but did have a spiritual moment recently. When I was in intensive care after my heart attack, I awoke from a febrile sleep to find a Sky Pilot (i,e, priest) hovering beside my bedside. Actually he was just doing his rounds, so my panic soon resided. But it did prompt a slight resurgence in good old Christian values. (slight, mind you)
Back to topic I have no hair to pull out.... My Avatar is symbolic only.
