Folic Acid Funfair

Mandating any therapeutic medicine to be added to food automatically negates the "informed consent" rule, in my book.

It should therefore be challenged as illegal.

Good luck with that.

Still, nobody it seems can agree on how much "folic acid" (ie: artificial folic acid) we should be medicated with, so one seems entitled to ask "where is the science here?".

Or is it just an absurd self-serving merry-go-round?

"We are the government, therefore we must legislate - it's what we do".

And if we the people don't call them to account, that's what they will continue to do.

Or should that be the salt of the sea? And if so, which sea??

As we may have come to expect, some think that the official guidance leaves much to be desired and indeed much unsaid.

"A Midwestern Doctor" sets out to nail some of the more glaring omissions.

So is the official guidance "worth its salt"?

Martin Geddes analyses an American Court Case to pin-point the salient points at which judgement appears to have strayed.

Not because he wants it reviewed (maybe he does, maybe he doesn't) but because it's instructive to illustrate the various ways in which judgement can stray.

Things your Cardiologist may not tell you.

Modern medicine isn't there for our benefit - it's there for the benefit of the medical industry.

Of course the medical industry needs to make a profit, but likewise the people who use its products need a cure. Somehow that last part gets marginalised, and the main marginalisers are the government regulators whose task is to regulate. The chain between patient and medical industry is controlled by governments of all shapes and sizes, and in private practice by insurance companies. Sometimes by both!

The patient's only control is his/her choice whether or not to use a medical product or take medical advice from the qualified experts. Because governments and insurance companies interpose themselves between between the patient and the medical professions, we the people pay through our taxes and insurance premiums whether or not we choose to take the advice and/or treatments on offer.

It's a business model to die for. Captive market, captive cash flow, and in many cases legal immunity from being sued by dissatisfied customers. 

Oh, and did I mention that the state often pays the costs of the sales force? Yes, it's all truly free at the point of use, but it's nowhere near free at the point of taxation, even if we don't use it.

What could possibly go wrong?
