You might wish to PM him. But beware that he is not an MD!

On the point that statins are over-prescribed for cholesterol, I agree. But the curious bit is whether they work for inflammation, which may be a bigger risk factor. Could it be that Dr.s are prescribing statins for all the wrong reasons but accidentally having a beneficial impact?
