Hasn’t a paper recently been released showing that too low of cholesterol levels are causing/ contributing to depression and other mental issues? Natural health professionals have been warning against cholesterol lowering drugs for a long time. I try to avoid all seed & vegetable oils and get my fats from quality sources of (cold pressed) olive & coconut oils, & grass fed butter & meat.

The brain makes its own cholesterol, but statins can disrupt that. Two kinds of statins, hydrophilic, like crestor, and more conventional lipophilic like atorvastatin. There's a natural barrier called the blood brain barrier that prevents many toxins from seeping into the brain, which the body goes to great lengths to protect. Some statins in lipophilic class can penetrate the blood brain barrier, reducing cholesterol production where we need it most -- in the brain. Our cholesterol fetish has driven statin use to almost universal. At the same time, we've has an increase in dementia conditions. Not "proven" causation, but close enough for me.
Good Calories Bad Calories (Taubes) and Carnivore Code (Saladino) make a good case that arterial plaques aren't caused by cholesterol, but by insulin. And no studies have ever shown that statins increase lifespan. But they significantly increase profits for pharma and prescribers. It's another scam by the medical industrial complex.
There has also been an explosion in congestive heart failure cases around the country that seems to follow the use patterns of these agents. We even have special clinics clinics in some cities! I suppose the coming tidal wave of vaxxx-related myocarditis/pericarditis cases will make these centers wildly profitable.
I developed left side heart failure after a year on statins; this was diagnosed with echocardiogram, and I was told there was no treatment. Since the pharma companies have a patent of statin compounded with Co-Q10, but do not produce it, I started treating myself with the Co-Q10, later with ubiquinol. An echo 5 years later showed zero evidence of disease, and my arteries completely clear. I think the ubiquinol might be extremely useful to improve mitochondria in the cardiac muscle after any damage.
Yes. You are correct. IMO, it is malpractice to put anyone on a statin without insisting they take CoQ-10. Proud that you took command of your own health!
Cholesterol is vital to good body function and needed by every organ, especially the brain - where 25% of the cholesterol in your body is located. Glial cells in your brain actually make cholesterol to help your neurons create connections with one another. Your ability to think, form memories and learn and all of your mental functions are dependent on this process happening smoothly. However, statin drugs harm your glial cells and repress cholesterol production.
There you have yet another ignorant 'faux pas' or perhaps in some cases we could call it a crime by some in the medical fraternity to be so gung ho at prescribing statins which are only needed in a very limited number of cases. It's hard to imagine anything more illogical than prescribing statins for those with say, Parkinsons, or in my own family to someone with brain damage resulting from a cardiac arrest.
Leading "academics" still promote putting statins in the water supply! I hear this every few months... Quite incredible. The "finest minds" in medicine! LOL!
I avoid drinking tap water because I'm not sure they haven't put stuff in it that they didn't promote. Bottled water is also suspect but the odds seem better.
Virtually every water supply on the planet is contaminated with herbicides, pesticides, psych meds. All rain water - everywhere - is contaminated with aluminum, fly ash, and god-only-knows-what from the non-stop geo-engineering (spraying, weather warfare) that is going on 24/7/365 over the entire earth. Once again it is Davos man and the USG trying to dominate the galaxy. We use Berkey filters for our well water (it is clean, but we are in heavy ag area and I know there is some chemical soup) with carbon and fluoride filters in place.
A certain amount of Cholesterol is needed for the brain. Too little is not good. It was discovered Statins led to more dying and caused depression etc. instead of increased lives. Dr. Malone spoke of this in one of his posts.

Yes to all. One of the most destructive things in American diets is all the processed vegetable oils.

Is there a publicly traded company that specializes in heart centers?

I drink distilled almost exclusively because of arsenic in the local water
I think statins are the most profitable class of drugs in history.

Absolutely. We need insulation on all of those little neurons between our ears!
