My dad's specialist put him on a new drug that he'd recommend to anyone. When my dad asked why his GP hadn't prescribed it he said that he doubted many GPs would know of its existence and they tend to stick with NHS advice/the easy route - Statins. Think the leeches Blackadder sketch.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I need to lose weight also and have significantly altered my diet and lifestyle. My hope is that if tested now, the balance would be closer to the ideal.
I am very sceptical about statins. They seem to be prescribed to pretty much the entire population these days and I have heard a few stories around side effects that really put me off. It seems that most people tolerate them well - but those who don't seem to have significant problems.
