And what's happened to the Cholesterol Hypothesis then. Oops? Poof? All better now? T.Lord. I'm not Jewish. Oy. (Bows, genuflects and apologizes.).

Many anecdotal reports about the adverse reactions to statin therapies are indicative of the highly toxic nature of this class of drugs. The inhibition of Heme A within the mevalonate metabolic pathway presages the death of cells that can no longer derive energy from the food that we are eating. The work of Professor Bruce Ames is instructive: Bruce N. Ames, Ph.D. Professor University of California, Berkeley, Senior Scientist, Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute; U.S. National Medal of Science; Research in delaying the mitochondrial decay of aging. I can see that there are many technical considerations as to why statins may not be the causative agent in cases of ALS or ALS-like symptoms. Equally valid; I can see why there would be many reasons for a raised index of suspicion when one considers the toxic effects of statins that give rise to numerous adverse reactions that were not experienced by the patients before they had started to take statins to lower their cholesterol. The medical profession appears to be unable to accept that there may be anything wrong with statin therapies. I commend the following link to you. *http://www.thincs.org/NEJMcommenttoTNT.htm My lay mind was suspicious of my findings and, at first, I thought that I must be mistaken. Accepting for one moment (for the sake of this discussion) that I am not mistaken, I wish to make a formal request that the FDA makes a determined effort to examine the possibilities raised by my letter. The FDA ought to insist on the closest scrutiny and reporting of the aetiology of every case of ALS, especially where one of the common factors was known to be a statin.

Thanks for that link NR!! That's incredible. It actually parallels some rumors I've heard for my own corner of the big pharma world. We have to invest our research $$$ in areas where drugs are profitable, approvable, and needed. It seems that Pfizer has identified a few areas that just don't meet these criteria. Wow!
