The polypill - a medical treatment aimed at reducing heart disease and increasing life expectancy

A single pill which could be taken by everyone and would significantly
reduce strokes and heart attacks.


Here's the paper
Wald, N. et al. 2003, A strategy to reduce cardiovascular disease by
more than 80%, BMJ 326 : 1419 doi: 10.1136/bmj.326.7404.1419 (Published
25 June 2003)

Combining a few medications into a single pill which everyone takes
could significantly reduce heart disease and strokes.

Let's hope the psychiatrists don't try this as they try to eradicate
unhappiness. It's not a fucking illness.
