Statins have multiple modes of action including on two autism genes BCL-2 and PTEN. <br /><br />So you cannot really compare green tea powder and statins. Both might help, but you will never know 100% why, unless you have some genetic testing.<br /><br />By the way, Bumetanide has very different diuretic effects in different people. The French researchers seem to have increased their dose to 1mg twice a day. I found 1mg once a day much better than 0.5mg twice a day. They recommended to try it for two months. For us it took two weeks to take effect.
