Yes, there certainly has been a spate of positive reports from the "statin" front. Unfortunately, Cholestrak differs from HP Chek in that no physician will ever prescribe a cholesterol-lowering agent based upon the results of a Cholestrak test. A patient's lipid profile is comprised of many factors, total serum cholesterol being only one. Cholestrak remains a screening test, and it's future lies with the general consumer market. Cholestrak would do better to ally with a "soft" pharmaceutical, i.e. alternative or herbal medicine. These alternative therapies are now prominently displayed in such major venues as Wal-Mart. The consumer who purchases these therapies is also likely to use home test kits. This, I believe, is a symptom of a growing dissatisfaction with the traditional medical environment. Chemtrak's expanding line of home test kits is an excellent response to these sentiments. Although, I would like to point out that theory is one thing, execution another. I have been following CMTR and the Chemtrak thread for nearly 5 months, but this is my first posting. 986
