Title: Pravastatin
Post by: Crooked_Stick on October 31, 2017, 10:57:11 AM
This is an interesting study using Pravastatin. Typically used for high cholesterol, it also has anti-fibrotic properties. Has anyone here used this drug?

Its a Statin, I am not comfortable with statins.

I take B5 (Pantethine) that IMO is more natural for the control of bad and good cholesterol. Its added benefit is it upscales the bodies COQ10 production  :)

Interesting link though.

That last study on cancer and Peyronie's (I think), said that men with high cholesterol did NOT have Peyronie's most of the time. Interesting...
