Now I applaud the lateral thinking of those who came up with the research but my inclination is always to ‘swim against the current’ – I started by looking at our own experience with sickle cell and huntingtons and the results we’ve seen (not scientific studies but consistent results based upon experience). A sugar called Trehalose has interested us for a number of years and if you do a little research about its activity with regard to inflammation (just google trehalose inflammation and see what comes up). Trehalose interrupts the cytokine process very early and has a very potent anti-inflammatory effect.

So my little mind is wondering why medical research is focussing on the worshipped statins – (they even want to give them to children now) and not on Trehalose – it could be the positive effects of Trehalose match or exceed the benefits of statins for these children with sickle cell. The huge advantage with trehalose is that there are no side effects – only benefits. Trehalose doesn’t make money for the drug companies – increased uses for stains would make huge profits for these predatory giants.

I would suggest that before trying Statins you try something that is natural and safe and possibly just as effective – maybe more effective.
