They found that people with type 2 diabetes were 83 percent more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson's later in life than people in the general population. This risk was the same for men and women and was independent of other risk factors. "Diabetes might increase the risk of Parkinson's disease partly through excess body weight," the researchers wrote in the April issue of Diabetes Care. > http://diabetes.org/diabetesnewsarticle.jsp?storyId=14742787&filename=20070328/r euters20070328health00000014reutershealthEDIT.xml > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > through excess body weight," the researchers wrote in the April issue > of Diabetes Care. It would be excess body weight in the form of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) which is the source of the inflammatory cytokines that undergirds the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Here's how to lose the VAT: http://HeartMDPhD.com/HolySpirit/overweight.asp This method has been proven to work: http://abchung.livejournal.com/986.html?thread=16090#t16090 And now comes with a million dollar guarantee: http://TruthRUS.org/Guarantee May GOD bless you.

(wonder how many diabetics in the above study were/are taking a statin??do not recommendations now include all diabetics should take statins???) (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The results of a recent study has scientists concerned about a possible link between statins -- the cholesterol- lowering class of drugs -- and Parkinson's disease. Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discovered people with low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) -- "bad" cholesterol -- are more likely to have Parkinson's disease than people who have higher levels of LDL. UNC researcher Xuemei Huang, M.D., Ph.D., reports the link raises questions about whether cholesterol-lowering drugs, like statins, could increase a person's risk of developing Parkinson's disease > Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill > discovered people with low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) -- [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > questions about whether cholesterol-lowering drugs, like statins, > could increase a person's risk of developing Parkinson's disease But how low is "low"? Are they talking maybe <70-100 (ranges suggested for diabetics) or way lower than that? bj > Andrew, in the Holy Spirit, boldly wrote: > > >http://diabetes.org/diabetesnewsarticle.jsp?storyId=14742787&filename...

No. NCEP/ATP guidelines are for lowering LDL to less than 100 mg/dL (less than 75 mg/dL if deemed very high risk) and not for the use of any particular class of lipid lowering medication. Indeed, "lifestyle changes" are preferred per the guidelines. Prayerfully in Jesus' ever-lasting love, Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.
