Please point me in the direction of a medical "talking head" that really understands disease.
Please watch this video
Please point me in the direction of a medical "talking head" that doesn't say something they CANNOT SUPPORT - but with utter confidence and authority.
In comes Attia saying the most ridiculous things with that serious, authoritative expression.
Statement 1: He said, in so many words, that we know the causes of cardiovascular diseases and how to treat them.
Hmmmm. If that is true, why is the trend in heart disease DEATHS going up!
Regarding the wonderful treatment (statins, etc) look at what this image explains.
It shows:
Per UCLA, most people who have a heart attack and go to the hospital have "normal" total cholesterol levels! Hmmmmm?
Heart attack rates tracked with smoking trends.
When statins we introduced in 1987, there was a downward trend in cardiovascular mortality. If they worked, we would have expected to see an even MORE precipitous drop in heart-related deaths.
Instead, we see an increase in deaths.
Conclusion from 1. and 3./4. Statins ARE INCREASING CARDIOVASCULAR DEATHS.
Listen to what Attia says in the video versus reality. Who owns him, or is he unable to read the literature? Many talking heads, IMHO, form their opinions despite facts. Fame goes to their heads.
Cancer is where he NAILS MISINFORMATION or ignorance.
More Attia statements:
Cancer is due to obesity. Note most of the people I work with are not the least bit heavy-set or smokers. He is out of touch with reality.
Cancer is caused by BAD LUCK!!!????
Cancer is genetic.
I encourage you to watch this video and compare and contrast the evidence presented by Attia and me.
Also, consider reading the book Dr. Carter and I wrote - with links below.
