Book Reviews of The New 8-Week Cholesterol Cure
Book Review: Results have been nothing short of phenomenal.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has changed my life, to put it mildly. I've been following it for almost four months now. I'm 53 and have not felt this healthy in 20 years. I weigh less than I did 20 years ago. I feel almost like a kid again. Even my eyesight has improved and I rarely have to wear my distance glasses anymore.
But it was my heart that I was worried about four months ago. Shortly after starting the niacin and other supplements, I could actually feel a difference in my heart and blood chemistry. It is my belief that if there is such a thing as a miracle supplement, it's niacin. Even my mental acuity has increased.
Today I got the results of my most recent blood test. When I went in to the doctor's office, the nurse practitioner looked at my results and asked me for a list of the medications I'm taking. I answered "nothing, not a single medication". She clearly didn't believe me, so I told her again, and she just looked kind of shocked and said "Well, that's a good thing!".
All the heart doctor told me was that he would like me to take some fish oil to "improve my LDL pattern". Guess he was having trouble finding anything to advise me on. LOL. This was a far cry from my visit four months ago when he put heavy pressure on me to start using statins, et al. I'm grateful that I found this book instead.
Here are my before and after blood test results:
Total cholesterol: dropped from 252 to 196.
LDL (bad) cholesterol: dropped from 164 to 100
HDL (good) cholesterol: rose from 51 to 60
Triglycerides: dropped from 185 to 96
Blood pressure: dropped from 136/94 to 122/74
I'm thrilled. My wife is thrilled. I exercise more, I eat better, and I don't even have bad niacin flushes anymore. Kowalski was a genius.
Summary of The New 8-Week Cholesterol Cure
Robert Kowalski's personal story is legendary. By the age of forty-one, he had suffered a heart attack and had undergone two coronary bypass surgeries. A traditional dietary approach to lowering his cholesterol failed dismally, and faced with the unpleasant alternative of a lifetime on medication, he created a program that proved astonishingly effective for him -- and legions of others worldwide who use it.
Today Kowalski has beaten heart disease, lives an unlimited and vigorous lifestyle, and uses no prescription drugs. Now, with new information about risk factors, exercise, and supplements, The New 8-Week Cholesterol Cure is even more powerful in fighting heart disease.
It includes:
The facts about homocysteine and the deadly cholesterol Lp(a)
A diet that jump starts cholesterol reduction
The heart-healthy secrets of niacin, other B vitamins, and safe supplements
The latest findings on exercise
New cholesterol-testing methods
New heart-healthy products.and more!
