Statins as MS cure?

There is an article in The Guardian newspaper about statins and MS. I am on my phone now so can 't Cc link  but perhaps someone else can?

Thanks, immisceo, for hunting down original article. I agree, much more informative.

Well, the article title is the much more modest "Multiple sclerosis patients may benefit from statins, says study". I prefer to link to the original studies rather than a paper. I never know how much stock to put in their angle.

140 patients with the secondary progressive form seemed to show evidence of slowed progression. http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(13)62242-4/abstract
