[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1503278, member: 219467"] Me too.. I think there is still a huge amount to be discovered here.. we are still mainly in the dark about how it all fits together. I was at a recent talk by Dr Kendrick where he was suggesting a similar mechanism for the covering of existing inflammation lesions causing the narrowing of the arteries. Something like (i'm paraphrasing badly) when you cut yourself you get a scab on the outside of your skin which falls off. When you have a tear on the inside of an artery the last thing you want is the scab to come off and get into the blood stream so the body covers over the scab stopping it from becoming detached and causing problems further down the system. Inflammation causes the problems cholesterol is the repair mechanism which is trying to cure them. That's way to simplistic an explanation and even he said it was very theoretical but seems to make sense. [/QUOTE]
