I'd be careful in jumping to any conclusions before more research has been done because statins have some bad side effects.

I truly believe that statins caused my father to have a stroke. At 75 his doctor said he had some plaque in his arteries (never effected him from what I saw) and prescribed a statin. After that it was all downhill, muscle wasting, weight loss, pain, eventually onto oxygen, amnesia, dementia and eventually a fatal bleeding stroke at 79.

That sounds promising indeed! Keep us posted with this kind of good news.
