Every profession has their own truths that people who outside of it don't know.
Most of our society are not doctors, and we pay for this illiteracy.
Drugs
Those drugs are tested on hundreds of people, then statistic comes. They look for statistical error - around 5%, but some "experts" can lower or raise this bar.
Why do they raise? Money. A company spent millions of $ to make this drug, and then statistic show that they have made a trash, 10% of peole get side effects, and 10% zero. What will they do? SELL
What does 5% threshold mean?
It means that if 100 people use this drug, then 2 - 3 people will get side effect and 2 - 3 people will get NO result.
When you use drug you always have something around 2-3% chance to get side effect or no result. It's even greater for aggressive preparats.
There is 3 axioms in medication treatment:
- the more ill is dangarous the more aggressive cure
- the more effective drug the more it has side effects
- when we choose a drug we don't want to choose the most effective, we wanna choose the most balanced between risk and effect.
There is interesting drugs effects:
- cure, which improve quality of life (no simptoms), could damage life expectancy.
- or we can use a cure that improve life expectancy but simptoms could go mad
Antioxidans
Not every Antioxidan is usefull, and even amount counts. Oxygen is really dangerouse for cells , but we need it, need ROS ( a product of oxygen ) for carcer prevention. thelancet.com - source
Natural herbs could be effective.
One of the most "popular" patient for hemodialysis in China is someone who got poisoned by herbs. China is very into traditional medicine. Why do you think we call this traditional medicine? Why do doctors not fond of them? It's hard to predict what will be, and track what helped exactly...
