We can see that the information conveyed by the media about health is usually false, and this is not an exception!
Indeed, many independent researchers have found that "official" information is almost always false or distorted by at least 50%, and some have even demonstrated this misinformation through their own independently conducted studies.
Here are some examples. It has recently been found that there is no scientific evidence that statins are beneficial to people with heart disease, but that they actually cause health problems. Similarly, many studies conclude that the real effect of antidepressants is a placebo effect and not an action on neurotransmitters or brain chemistry.
Another common idea is the increase in smoking-related mortality. We won't go so far as to say that smoking is good for your health, but it seems that smoking is not as morbid a factor as people say. The same is true for meat, which would be the cause of cancer or any other factor involved in obesity or hypertension.
If you are satisfied with the information provided by the media, hoping to discover the truth, you will quickly realize that the solutions they propose are all linked to the large petrochemical or agri-food industries, including pharmaceuticals.
Be careful, this information is probably wrong!
If you want to know the way to the "real" truth, you will have to look for other information on your own and be critical by not buying what the media is feeding you. It seems that the responsibility does not lie with the directly mediated, but rather with the researchers who are feeding them truncated and doctored results.
Of course, the role of the journalist and the newsmen would be to check their sources and the veracity of their data, but unfortunately the newspapers in the pay of the big industries will only sell their copies if they publish studies with spectacular and positive results.
So be aware that if your doctor prescribes a certain pill, it is not because it has proven to be effective in the health problem you are suffering from, but most likely because there is a "medical training" in Mauritius involved. The same is true in the field of surgery, where infrastructure and equipment must be made profitable. Nor can we trust studies from medical journals that are governed by the same economic dynamics.
Currently, even the results obtained in homeopathy are questioned and statistically the studies using placebos give the same significant results as chemical drugs. The success of a treatment depends on a lot of uncontrollable parameters, not to mention the influence of the patient-therapist relationship, which is undoubtedly one of the most important factors in this success.
