as per our email, Kitty, here is the Canadian Women's study links.

I have the PDF here first:

and a separate abbreviated press release that is a bit easier
to read:

For what it is worth, the FDA here in US has been petitioned more than once to put statins OTC... and it has denied it every time. However in UK, there is an OTC statin available without RX.

Red Yeast Rice is also a statin... lovastatin
