I'm not sure what the above message really means but I I assume it means to take everything with a grain of salt because you don't know which is the plumber and which is the PLUMBER?
My post is really about the different information that is coming to light. It used to be statins were the God send but in fact there are side effects which are coming to light that simply were not known about initially. Now there is a whole new line of thinking about LDL. Medical advances come all the time and we should be open to new information. Admittedly there are charlatans. But I also know "charlatans" can be viewed as such when they go outside conventional thinking like the doctor who treated my daughter for Lyme. At the time, other doctors were orthodox about treating for 2 weeks with antibiotics and he attacked it head on with TWO antibtiotics for a much longer time. Unlike my daughter, a lot of children that had gotten lyme...if they were even diagnosed!!! properly ended up with severe long term issues. He was essentially blackballed by the mainstream. I am always interested in hearing new information which I do try to substantiate. But even if it isn't initially popular or considered credible, sometimes it turns out to be valid.
