It was discovered 100 years ago that dementia/Alzheimer's is brain myelin damage. It is repaired by mechanism that needs cholesterol. This lady points out that lowering cholesterol has not reduced heart disease, but what has increased is dementia.
They know what they are doing! Dementia is the effect of damaged brain myelin and Cholesterol is vital to the formation of myelin. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49857008_Cholesterol_A_Novel_Regulatory_Role_in_Myelin_Formation)
Bottom line is that Dementia probably caused by the false belief that cholesterol is bad. Statins reduce the levels of cholesterol, preventing the normal ongoing repair of the brain, leading to dementia. They do this to cause everyone heartache and despair.
I am now suggesting to anyone with elderly relatives entering dementia to massively increase saturated fat intake, and stop with the statins, what would you have to lose? Even if it doesn't reverse the dementia, at least you get decent food in your twilight years! and if it gives you heart disease (it won't) that shortens the burden of living with dementia. Its a win-win-win strategy.
My husband was diagnosed 3 years ago with dementia. He is also on cholesterol medication. My doc put me on cholesterol meds only because I'm diabetic and it's RECOMMENDED even though my cholesterol numbers are fine. I stopped taking them because it makes my joints too painful. I'm wondering if I should take him off of his statin meds.
