So the consensus here is to start taking them again, or not ?

If you're serious about taking healthcare advice from speaker nerds you could always start a poll.

There you go!  Stay away from docs, except to know where you stand.  I've never had a doc not straight-up tell me how I can improve my condition without resort to drugs.  It's easy to make adjustments early - not so when you allow damage to get too far.

That's a good idea.

 

I had my wife read this, she just looked at me saying what do you think we have been saying.

I trust people around here  well, a couple of them already saved me from some really nasty medicine, another gave me my first martini ever and the next day gave me my second well before lunch which set me back a little.  Both were apperiacated and just what I needed in the long run.   

 

I'm good, I took an asprin today, the glaucoma medicine might be later.

This from one of the people who saved me from taking a terrible medicine, he's not one of the "stoopid" ones. 

 

Thank You very much JWC, I would still be very sick or worse now if I did not listen to you and went ahead and taken that medicine.

Hard to argue with that, or they at least act like it at times.

It's very clear that many on here have opinions of the article but didn't read it.  A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 20,000 "healthy" people with a median age of 74 years was conducted over 5 years.  Pay attention to the group.  "Healthy" is a key point here.  None of the members of the study had a history of heart disease.  Nothing suggests that people with a history of heart disease would be better-off giving up daily, low-dose aspirin.

 

Here is the actual summary of the study, itself:

 

 

 

 

That's exactly what a Cleveland Clinic doctor said on a recent TV interview. So I quit it.

""""I am at the age where colonoscopies are recommended. """

There seems to be very little controversy on that screening test.   One of the best.  Every physician I know or aware of ....and their spouse sign up at 50 to get that done.  Family history colon CA rules are different.

So women shouldn't get a pap smear if they are "healthy"

A family friend  just died from a flu shot at age 53.  She developed Guillain- Bare Syndrome.  It is extremely rare but if it is you, it is 100%.  It is still better to get a flu shot......maybe?

[jwc]

I have no choice.  No shot....no job.   I lose my 4 hospital priviledges if there is no documentation of the shot.  Hospital claims the pro/con evidence is overwhelming ..... pointing to all staff must get shot.
