I must have missed something. When/where/who put forward the "prior hypothesis" referenced at the end of this abstract:
"These data are inconsistent with the prior hypothesis that statins are protective against PD." I've never read that anywhere! Has anyone? |

Does the analysis take into account the benefits that statins may give in other areas? For instance, suppose that a particular person had a doubled risk of PD if he took statins, but it halved his risk of heart disease.
As always when considering a course of action for a particular person a nuanced approach is needed, focussing on the individual, taking into account genetics, his medical history and that of his family, and the environment in which he lives and works. John

Statins don't halve heart attack risk. As much as the drug companies push that "benefit", in reality it is tiny. And for women, almost never.
The downsides of statins include nerve damage, memory loss, diabetes, and even pulmonary fibrosis (this was reported in UK). Lipitor has shown in some studies increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Not to mention the muscle damage etc. Statins are mycotoxins, and as such are toxic. Here is a video explaining how statins actually kill cells. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19uxXqWF8h4
