Caution on statins exacerbating dementia and Alzheimer’s…the brain is made up of cholesterol and needs it to function. Statins reduce brain function considerably.
My dad was ‘diagnosed’ with high cholesterol many years before his Alzheimer’s incapacitated him…and those years he was on statins which took his mind.
Sorry. I know how difficult it is. A dear friend believed and still believes the clot shots are safe so he and his wife submitted to them all. He’s a few years older than me and a former fire fighter, big strong guy. He now can barely walk, has difficulty breathing, heart ejection fraction of 10% and is scheduled for a heart transplant in two days.
My stepdad was put on statins after his bypass surgery.
No matter what I tell him now, no matter how much I've been right over the last five years, he won't stop taking them.
Because he trusts doctors.

That's what I keep telling him!
But nooo, he says doctors are TRUSTWORTHY and SMARTER than me!
After ALL I've been telling him since 2020!

Horrible.
5mg of statins isn't damaging. Worry more about his carb intake. It's an insulin resistance problem.
