Robert,
I'm not trying to start any battles with you. It's obvious that you know
more about medical issues than I know. My only issue with various members
of this newsgroup (that are advocates of statins) is that they seem to
have no compassion for people that are the victims of statins.
Back to your questions: I don't believe that Dr. Cohen mentions
Parkinson's disease in his book. You mentioned that they now have genetic
testing to determine if people will get Parkinson's Disease. Since that is
true, I think that doctors should be required to conduct genetic testing
to determine whether or not people carry the gene prior to prescribing
statins. Do you agree? It would keep doctors from unmasking the disease.
You may not be a doctor but you do have an excellent knowledge of medical
issues. I don't always agree with you but I respect your knowledge.
Jason
