Editorial Review:

Product Description:


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!

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not much "new"
Same old stuff. There wasn't much "new" in the "new cholesterol cure". It has some good points, but if you read the old one, you probably don't need this one.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Robert E Kowalski , R.I.P.
This book is certainly well written which is to be expected since Kowalski was a medical journalist, and his program has helped some.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great suggestions!
I don't know if the results happened in 8 weeks, but after my husband started implementing many of the suggestions in this book (along with the prescription med he was already taking) his cholesterol went from sky high to within normal range.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Worked for me
When a doctor saw my cholesterol had dropped almost 25% in a month, he asked, "What are you taking for it?"

I told him that I had just bought a book, and followed the directions. He was amazed!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best book on this subject I have read
This book has become my health bible. I have been following all suggestions strictly. Have not had blood work since starting the program --will do so soon as it has been almost 2 months. I feel good and am sure my labs will be greatly improved. A nice side benifet is a good amount of weight loss without being hungry or feeling deprived. Have read 2 other books on this subject which are not nearly as good. This book is the best I have read. I Like the Endurance Co. he recommends. When I had a ... Read More
