The muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase atrogin-1/MAFbx mediates statin-induced muscle toxicity - Muscle/kidney damage
Most of the folks that are prescribed statins already have some aches and pains and don't notice, or don't complain to their doctors, and on the doctor's side, the pharmacos are saying it's a small percentage that is affected.
So it's both under reported by the patient and the doctors. And they're all chasing the wrong dog, cholesterol is an effect of CHD, not the cause.
Linus Pauling already led the way, but almost none of the medical profession has followed.
Thanks for the links.
