When I was living in France, because of what was described as dangerously high cholesterol levels I was prescribed 'statins', three different makes of statins later my GP realised that my body wouldn't tolerate them!
A couple of years later and shortly before a hip opp, I had the usual blood tests which of course showed my very high cholesterol levels, this resulted in them doing tests and much to their amazement I had no discernable furring up of my arteries.
On another score, last year I was prescribed various bronchial medications including pills and 3 different types of inhaler all of which I took religiously until last Friday when I was sent to see a consultant cardiologist because I was experiencing exceptionally painful chest pains which were indicative of Angina (plus ever more restrictive breathing). So the first thing I did before starting the new medications was to stop taking all the bronchial medications................... and..................... bugger me....................... every single one of my breathing difficulties disappeared as well as the chronic chest pains!!
Now for the first time in well over a year I actually feel very fit once again and plan to go out on one of my bikes for a shake down ride after such a very long time whilst I can hear all the quacks scratching their heads in disbelief!
