Health Tips with Dr. Michael Gaeta

The US spends 20 % of its GNP on health care and has some of the worst outcomes. Over 50 % of adults and children have at least one chronic disease. In the 1960’s less than two percent had chronic diseases. We have 4.6 % of the world’s population yet use 50 % of the world’s pharmaceuticals.

Just because your doctor tells you that your lab results are normal, that is no reason to cheer as these values are based on 95 % of a very sick population.

For example, statins are given out readily, but did you know a doctor has to treat 100 patients for five years to get one patient to benefit? Did you know about the side effects of statins? Did you know that some studies show that satins have no benefits for women?

In the past there was a war on cholesterol. Yet one half of the heart attacks occur in people who have normal cholesterol. Cholesterol is actually protective. It is the source of our adrenal and sex hormones, for vitamin D and cell membranes and myelin the nerve protection. the LDL cholesterol particles rush to repair damage to the blood vessels lining.
