QUESTION: The "NEW YORK TIMES" reports that "the nation's pediatricians are recommending wider cholesterol screening for children and more aggressive use of cholesterol-lowering drugs starting as early as the age of 8 in hopes of preventing adult heart problems."
IS THIS JUST ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SELL MORE PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS?
(See the July 7, 2008 "NEW YORK TIMES" news article link below)
ANSWER: There is in this practice, a new way of inviting our children to depend upon doctors for anything from a hang-nail, to a sneeze.
It used to be that doctors were concerned about hypochondria. Now, in modern medicine, there is a tendency to encourage dependence on the medical world which will produce hypochondria.
Children who are encouraged to think of medical practices for everything they encounter in their reality, will build constant fear. They will develop fears associated with minor encounters physically. Children will develop fears for exposure to their natural environment. A mosquito bite, because of this fear, could send the grown child, running to a doctor. A camping trip, could end in a perceived disaster, from just one mosquito bite!
If a child is sensitized in this manner and looks at the perceived danger in his "life's movement", he could spend his whole life, sitting in front of a television, or playing video games, where it is safe.
There is little evidence at this time that, giving cholesterol medications to children, will make them resistant to heart problems later in adult life. To assume that children need medicine for this condition, at 8 years old, is damaging in itself.
Heart problems, in the population, are generally from poor choices in health practices such as nutrition, exercise, and stress. Teaching children healthy living practices is the biggest deterrent to any kind of disease looming in their futures.
Go in Peace and Love.
