In the UK, Statin pushers being called out.
Doctors tell NICE you’re not independent & you’re not evidence based

I really can't wait to be part of the marvellous machine of following guidelines…………………NOT.
I read both parts of that when they came out, its a disgrace to what NICE is supposed to be, and shear madness as far as numbers needed to treat. Before starting medicine I was part of the big pharma machine, so I un / fortunately have a unique perspective on how it is run and what there goals are. |
Wow — first the Time cover and now this! Can it be that medical research will become funded by neutral parties?

There isn't the money. That is the problem. No one wants to fund clinical trials. My personal feeling is that there needs to be more medical personnel involved in the trials but without a financial interest. |
Jaywood,
Now the GPs are calling for NICE to be free of conflict: Quote:

Yay! We need the boards of the AHA and ADA and other big "disease related" organizations to do the same.

Ben Goldacre has posted his response to the BMJ editorial.
The statins wars rage on in the UK. He offers a sensible option to resolve them. http://www.badscience.net/2014/06/w...based-medicine/ Btw, the Star Wars disco has nothing to do with the article, his idea of a mind focus technique that completely distracted me :q: |
From Ben Goldacre's article:

My husband was not told this at all. It was "take this pill and it will prevent a heart attack." It was a miracle pill. It's true my husband did not have a heart attack in the 18 years or so he took it, but was it the pill? Or just that he would not have had a heart attack anyway? Now he's off it & we'll see what happens. At his age (79) I don't think a lack of a statin or even a good LCHF diet is going to have much affect on him. |
