Vitamin C Forum

Hi all,
Happy new year.

I have been reading a website "cholesterol-and-health.com" and would like to ask the forum for comments.
It states that by lowering LDL by statins one increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke but then decreases ischemic stroke risk ( a no win situation)

Also Statins, through the same pathway decrease the activation of RHO and thus improve N.O. function on the artery.
Also a 2004 study said that statins reduce plaque buildup and ischemic stroke in the carotid artery by 17%.

I found the articles a bit difficult to read and may have misunderstood some of the text.

Do any forum members have an opinion on the author "Chris Masterjohn" and what is RHO ( did forum search but found nil)

Regards

Do you have a link to Chris's article? I'd like to see what he said about them.

RHO 1,3 are Prenylated Proteins there responsible for muscle nurishment, repair and wound healing but the statinators claim by blocking their production it some how reduces whatever the level of the risk of cancer but they don't mention eye problems or anal leakage that cutting back on them causes! Nor do they talk about slow or misguided wound healing either!!!
It's a complex system and it's being compounded by misinformation by Big Pharma.

I believe this is it. http://www.cholesterol-and-health.com/High-Cholesterol-Causes-Stroke.html
