Ray,
Thanks for your input, and sharing your "numbers". That is very helpful!
I am not sure what you mean by, "I don't think you need him."
Regardless, while your Dr. may think low cholesterol is good, cholesterol in the range that you and I have are associated with depression, suicide, uncontrollable anger, strokes, heart-failure, and a whole host of other maladies, including difficulty in thought processes.
Beyond those factors, since cells (including all forms of blood cells) need cholesterol to form properly, low cholesterol means that a basic building block in our blood cell lineages are nowhere near optimal.
As such, it is a significant concern of mine. Perhaps your Dr. is not up on the research on the topic? Or, alternatively, my Dr.'s are simply worry-worts.
Again, thank your for your thoughts and help!
