X-Message-Number: 24322 From: Date: Sat, 3 Jul 2004 22:11:45 EDT 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.)
