Hi Raf; Not necessarily! First problem is Dr. Budoffs explanation is confusing because he seems to conflate plaque amount with plaque progression RATE! The results of the study so far show NO plaque reduction only a reduction in the RATE of plaque progression(increase)! It will be very interesting to see 18 month date to see if the RATE continues to decrease or whether it actually goes negative(plaque removal). Given the apparent wide variance maybe there is a sub population that will have an actual regression of the AMOUNT of plaque not just the rate.
