US Doctors Urge Wider Use Of Cholesterol Drugs

[HockeyMom]

66. 35 years ago my Dad was put on a special diet

He was given a printed out plan to follow. He was 5'8" and 140 lbs. and not overweight. It worked. I suppose they didn't have all those meds back then?

My husband has been on meds for almost 20 years now. His doctor keeps him on, and keeps changing them, because today his tests indicate "low". So why does he have to keep taking them? Because you must be on pills? Diet won't work? Hello, mine is 110, have never taken meds, and we eat the same dinners. I make at least 3 meatless meals a week since I really don't like meat anyway. I fry NOTHING. There is no junk food in my house. We eat pasta maybe once every couple of weeks, or for a Holiday a few times a year.

Tell me why following a diet worked for my Dad, and obviously me, but doctors keep people on meds FOREVER. You will never be cured????? No $$$ to be made from EATING right.
