One of the other parts of the law, in my understanding, is the requirement for honesty in advertising and not being able to make unsubstantiated claims.
I talked to a colleague of mine who was practising medicine, and he asked how big of a problem it is. I wondered, because I'm getting all these emails and postcards about this, whether it's really that big a problem. We're getting this big political hit because of this.
He said that he had a lot of patients who weren't taking their statins, which have been proven by a whole bunch of studies and medical analyses to reduce mortality—all-cause mortality but particularly cardiovascular-related mortality. I think the number he needed to treat was 35. A lot of his patients were not taking their statins because they were taking a natural health product that claimed to reduce cholesterol but was totally unproven.
My assertion about how many people are being hurt.... If you have presumably 35 people who are not taking statins because of that one person, there's going to be an adverse effect.
