Hello my dear Marie and thank you once again for sharing my post about Dr. Alyson McGregor’s book – and her very convincing warnings about how male-centric our healthcare systems generally are, and why.
For example, she cites studies in which “the cells used in medical research laboratories were male cells. And the animals used in the animal studies were male animals. And then the clinical studies on the drugs we will take have been performed almost exclusively on men. . .”
And in answer to your question re MetUpUK, not only are heart patients NOT told we’re free of heart disease after hospital discharge, but we’re basically told heart disease is in fact a a chronic and progressive condition – 20-30 years in the making. That’s such a shocking fact, however, that many women don’t quite believe it.
Take care, stay safe – and Happy Christmas to you. ♥
