The groundbreaking cholesterol-lowering program . . . now even more effective!
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 used 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!
Arm yourself against heart disease-America's number-one killer-and increase your chances for a long, healthy life with The New 8-Week Cholesterol Cure.

| I was a little skeptical at first, but I did follow most of the recommendations, especially the vitamins. My cholesterol levels were very high when I purchased this book, but when I went back to the doctor a few months later my cholesterol levels had dropped to below normal, a huge reduction and my doctor was impressed. The only thing I need to work on is increasing my good cholesterol. There are some stories and it is written in a casual manner so it is easy to read and not to technical. The only thing that I would recommend in the next version of the book is that there be a more easy to find and read charts in one section or at the back of the book listing all the vitamins, what they do and the doses. It would be nice to have have that info in a quick reference chart so that it would make it easier to shop for them. Over all I am glad that I purchased it. |

| A cautionary tale: It is now June 3, 2010. I ordered this book in October, 2007, and finally got around to reading it in June, 2008. Based on its advice, in July, 2008, I began taking 1000 mg/day (a modest amount, according to the book) of slow-release niacin (Enduracin, ordered per instructions in the book). I vetted this with three different doctors, none of whom raised any objections. In February, 2009, I retired and began getting back into hiking (an activity which had been more or less on hold during my last year of work). Very soon thereafter, I began having severe pains in both heels. Ultimately, I was having trouble getting around my house, let alone walking a mountain trail. A podiatrist recommended four weeks of physical therapy and new orthotics, neither of which seemed to help very much. After much research and experimentation, I concluded that the pain in my heels was due to a sort of induced gout ("gouty attacks" being a possible side effect of niacin) and I stopped taking it (after 644 days on it). There was immediate improvement in my heels, then a leveling-off period for a couple of weeks, and then continued slow improvement since. After 52 days off the niacin, I am now back out hiking and I am more or less convinced that my heels are really finally on the mend. I will never, ever take niacin again. I worry about possible liver damage done by the amount that I took. And, did my cholesterol levels improve? Not really. Don't be taken in by the hype in this book! You might be someone like me, for whom the advice in it is very, very bad. |
