Am J Pathol. 2009 Apr 6. Statin Therapy Inhibits Remyelination in the Central Nervous System. Miron VE, Zehntner SP, Kuhlmann T, Ludwin SK, Owens T, Kennedy TE, Bedell BJ, Antel JP. Our findings suggest that simvastatin inhibits central nervous system remyelination by blocking progenitor differentiation, indicating the need to monitor effects of systemic immunotherapies that can access the central nervous system on brain tissue-repair processes.

Thank you for posting this. It makes a huge difference as it's hard for all of us to stay up on medical research and journals. PC

When the myelin sheath that insulates nerves becomes damaged, then the body may be able to repair it. Given that some nutrients are available, etc.
Statins block this repair action, it appears now.
