Another great blog reply

“The first comprehensive study into psychopathy was published by Hervey Cleckley MD in 1941 as “The Mask of Sanity”. It described how psychopaths could effectively mimic the non-psychopathic to win trust, gain influence and manipulate others to their advantage.

The behaviour of pharmaceutical corporations (and other corporate entities) echoes psychopathic behaviour and amplifies that of the psychopathic types that they recruit and promote for their undeniable effectiveness in ruthlessly promoting the “bottom line”.

We have marketing-based medicine cleverly mimicking science-based medicine. The outward appearance belying the dirty little secret within.

Needless to say this has had a devastatingly corrupting effect on the non-psychopaths practising medicine and government decision-makers.
Also on the senior academics responsible for seeking research funding.

Journalists too are enchanted and ensnared. ”

Some excellent comments here too (can you tell I've been rereading Michael Eades blog?

Another,  the study he writes on is available free and pdf is downloadable.

Eight years later and how many of your doctors have heard of this one yet?

Oh I just got around to this one. Yes there's a "cholesterol recalculator" here

The lab my doctor used to use actually *measured* LDL and my results came out somewhere in between the Friedwald and Iranian calculated values, which was interesting (moderate total, low trigs). Now they have changed to one which uses the Friedwald calculation so it'll have gone up again, dammit!
