Subject: statins

Awareness and activism are increasing. Mistakes will be made, but the trend  
is encouraging. My internist has prescribed low-dose Pravachol (pravastatin) 
for  me, even though my cholersterol is fine. There are several recent reports 
that  statins may have multiple beneficial effects, including reduction of 

risk of  some cancers and perhaps even life extension, perhaps through effects 
on 
certain  enzymes. (There are also warnings about differences in individuals 
and some  possible negatives.)
