ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

The Mayo clinic web site warns patients of safety with Metformin, specifically for lactic acidosis. It says, "... too much metformin can cause lactic acidosis. The symptoms of lactic acidosis are severe and quick to appear, and usually ossur when other health problems not related to the medicine are present and are very severe, such as heart attack or kidney failure.
Yet, the Cochrane studies have shown over 70,000 person-years of experience with metformin AND NO EPISODES OF LACTIC ACIDOSIS. JAMA has shown similar studies with MORE EPISODES OF LACTIC ACIDOSIS IN PATIENTS NOT ON METFORMIN.
Even the FDA has gotten the message. They modified the box warnings re: lactic acidosis and metformin. The key points were to decrease the warnings, even stating metformin is safe for those with mild to moderate kidney disease.
The Mayo Clinic website re: Metformin Safety is poorly worded, outdated and causing damage saliva de gato | |
