There is a question in the questions section, that says statins are okay for CMTers. Statins are not okay for others, so I would think the same would go for CMTers. But of course they are not going against "standard of care" which still includes statins. (much to the detriment of many many people today.). The "standard of care" that doctors decide upon, obviates any new information or warnings. It takes a mountain to move them once they decide on something, even in the face of evidence.
The Vit D information that was recently released by that national committee is a good example... still recommending 800IU for adults when evidence is strong for higher. It will be another decade before they come around on that one, and they will eventually.

If you go to the questions area it is around #10 or so in the list.

Statins are in the mild to moderate section of the 3 lists on the site at another file. I just get so frustrated as all the new information keeps showing up about the risks and less about the benefits. If you read Dr. Seneff she explains that statins work well only in the very early phases of treatment, and then the toxicity begins. She explains why this is.
