Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Spacedoc NewsletterDecember 2, 2010 Cholesterol Levels and Depression The ESPRIT Study published in 2010 suggests that serum lipids ( blood fats - fatty acids and cholesterol ) play a major role in clinical depression. Study participants were all 65 years of age or older at the start of the study. They found that depression in men was associated primarily with low LDL cholesterol whereas depression in women was associated more with low HDL cholesterol. Cholesterol Levels and Depression Two previous articles on Cholesterol Levels and Depression were recently updated. 1. Cardiologists know that treating depression will likely benefit patients complaining of cardiovascular problems, but likely are completely unaware statin drugs may be a major contributing factor.Depression, Statins and Cardiologists 2. Reader experiences of depression and behavioral changes associated with the use of statin drugs.Hostility, Aggression, Depression, Suicide and StatinsDuane Graveline MD MPHFormer USAF Flight SurgeonFormer NASA AstronautRetired Family Doctor The Dark Side of Statins: e-Book by Dr Duane Graveline, M.D. All three of my previous statin books are now available in e-Book versions plus my latest book The Dark Side of Statins which is available in e-Book only for now. e-Books offer a lower cost way to get the same information as in the print versions, allow readers from all over the world instant access, and now you do not even need an electronic bookreader as these versions can be read on any device like smart phones, tablet computers, laptops and desktops. The Dark Side of Statins Try to imagine a drug possessing the ability to cause DNA mutations using the same mechanisms that have evolved for natural aging. When confronted with a patient experiencing weakness and unsteadiness, muscle aches and pains, memory loss and depression, the quite natural response from most doctors is, "You have to expect this kind of thing now; you are over 50". Most doctors do not have a clue as to the truth. It is not natural aging that has depleted you so. This is premature aging - aging in months according to many statin victims - and this entire complex of symptoms from a drug so safe that many doctors feel it should be put in the drinking water. The class of drugs is called statins, simple reductase inhibitors capable not only of lowering cholesterol but also CoQ10 and dolichols as well, leading directly to mitochondrial damage and mutation. No, this is not impossible. It is happening today to thousands of us.
