The solution
We are all going to die. There are very few cures around. Most treatments these days are a matter of how many people ( a hundred) do we need to treat for one person to get a benefit. Many treatments have significant harms. Your doctor's theories may well change next year. No one knows whether you will harmed or benefitted by any particular treatment.
Getting fit, losing weight, eating nutritious foods, being loved and in love, intimacy, friendship, enjoyment, allowing yourself and others to be, not striving to be better than anyone else - all of these and more may well be more important than whether you take a statin or an asprin everyday for the rest of your life!!
If you want the best for you, you will have to be willing to deal with grey and not demand black and white answers. You will need to do your own research. You will need to be willing to take risks and make your own choices and decisions.
Know that you are a pawn and so is your doctor. Who is in control? No one really. Everyone is doing what they think is expected of them. Follow the dollar!
No solution really - sorry.
