Cholesterol Page

Here are facts according to Dr. Douglass' newsletter.
FACT: Low cholesterol can trigger the deadliest kind of stroke. It's called a massive stroke and it happens when blood vessels in your brain are so weak, they burst open. Any cholesterol count below 200 is a red flag for this kind of stroke.

FACT: Low cholesterol may raise your cancer risk. Yes, a new study actually links low LDL levels with an increased risk of developing cancer. And it's not the first one. In fact, more than 20 studies have been done on cholesterol and cancer. And the overall majority linked cancer with low cholesterol!

How could all this be so? For the same reason that your body makes its own cholesterol. It's a vital nutrient! Cholesterol is a necessary building block for your immune system and especially your brain cells. In fact...(on the other hand) 
HIGHER cholesterol may improve your memory, stave off depression
and even protect you from Alzheimer's...

Believe it or not, healthy brain cells are chock full of cholesterol. Yup, 25% of your body's cholesterol is in your brain. It fuels the electrical impulses that make thinking possible. Plus, studies show...

FACT: Low cholesterol impairs brain function. It's been linked to depression. And cholesterol-lowering drugs have been shown to trigger memory loss. (Drug companies want us to forget this -- and we may – if we keep taking statin drugs!)

FACT: Low cholesterol is linked to Alzheimer's. The eminent researcher Iwo J. Bohr recently published a peer-reviewed paper on the subject. He points out that Alzheimer's patients typically have lower cholesterol and suggests that a great way to prevent the disease may be to eat a high cholesterol diet.

FACT: Low cholesterol is even linked to suicide ––and it's not just because folks are fed up with celery and tofu! The real reason is probably that low cholesterol literally makes you crazy!

And now for some upbeat news... 
HIGHER cholesterol could super-charge anyone's sex life...

Why? Because cholesterol is the "raw material" for your sex hormones. Without it, you can't manufacture testosterone, women can't make estrogen––and none of us would have any more sex drive than an earthworm!

Now aren't you ecstatic
that your cholesterol is over 200?
