wikipedia in the clutches of pharmaceutical companies?

[Guest guest]

For whatever reason I couldn't sleep tonight, and a couple hours ago I

added revisions to the cholesterol and statin pages on wikipedia. The

statin information was totally one-sided about how statins, despite

initial concerns that they cause cancer, have shown to prevent cancer,

and absolutely nothing about coenzyme Q10 inhibition. So under the

section about non-cholesterol effects, I added #5, that they inhibit

all isoprene synthesis including coenzyme Q10. I also added an entire

section entitled " Controversy " to the cholesterol page in which I

described how the role of cholesterol in atheroma is controversial,

and discussed Ravnskov's work, THINCS, and the Alzheimer's issue. I

then added my page to the bottom section " external links " and fixed a

link to WAPF that referred to it as the Weston A Price Society instead

of " Foundation. "

So a couple hours later now, EVERYTHING I did has disappeared!!!

EXCEPT, the fixing of the WAPF link. But my link is gone. The

cholesterol controversy section is gone. The sentence about statins

interfering with coenzyme q10 synthesis is gone. The paragraph about

how some researchers still believe statins contribute to cancer is

gone.

It looks like the revision I did to the CoQ10 page will stick, and

they have so far.

Which indicates to me that someone is WATCHING the statins/cholesterol

page. It really looks like the whole thing is done up by some

pro-statin schmuck, and I'm wondering if someone's paid to sit there

and edit the page or something!
