Seems statins are not indicated for lipo B problems.
You'll be interested to know that quality curcumin (that is well absorbed) went head to head with Lipitor in testing, and was found as good for reducing inflammation as Lipitor.

CONCLUSION:
NCB-02 had a favourable effect, comparable to that of atorvastatin, on endothelial dysfunction in association with reductions in inflammatory cytokines and markers of oxidative stress. Further studies are needed to evaluate the potential long-term effects of NCB-02 and its combination with other herbal antioxidants.

This was a specific product with better absorption used in the study. Not all curcumin products are well absorbed.
And as usual this is a foreign paper. Not many US papers on this subject.
Edit to add: here is a story on Roche and Merck's HDL drugs:

You know one can raise HDLs and lower triglycerides with fish oil. ( or Krill oil).
