[QUOTE="Osidge, post: 1021025, member: 17302"] Interestingly the ASCOT cohort in the UK meets every year at Bart's Hospital to be updated on clinical research. Not all of these are drug trials but are often using information that is already held or about other forms of treatment etc. There is no doubt that pharma fund some research but there is much research done that is not about drugs. I am not sure of pharma's vested interested in that. I would be very surprised if your GP was informing anyone of your decision to stop statins. To my knowledge, there is no universal statin monitoring. Back to ASCOT - this link will give the history and funding by Pfizer of that trial. To besmirch the ASCOT team because of the funding arrangements as not being independent in their work is sad. [URL]http://www.ascotstudy.org/history[/URL]. Doug [/QUOTE]
