raf, I hear what you are saying. When I watch Dr. Masons videos, no where does he imply for example that EPA only incorporates itself into endothelial cells because of the statin. He states he can actually see it happen, but does not state it only happens because of a chemical reaction with said statin. So all those benefits he explains in his videos go away if there is no statin? Of course not. If one is to believe in Dr. Mason's work, then it would be logical to extrapolate that to having a measure of benefit in the outcomes and that those benefits transcend a statin.
