After reading this book, I have come to a simple conclusion: You can’t beat the effectiveness of statin drugs.
The author basically instructs the reader to eat right, exercise and take high doses of Vitamins E, C, and a few other vitamins along with Omega-3 oils, and strict doses of Niacin. Now that’s all well and good, but if I were to follow the authors advice on dosage of the aforementioned vitamins and oils, then it would end up costing me significantly more, way more than my $10/month co-pay for Zocor. Plus, like I mentioned, there’s no amount of vitamins that can beat a statin drug’s effectiveness at lowering cholesterol.
So while the book has some useful advice, keep in mind there is no “cure” and you really won’t see significant lowering of LDL or total cholesterol levels using this book. Talk to your doctor about a statin drug.

After a family member received a bad diagnosis from his doctor we were in the uneviable position of getting his blood pressure and cholesterol down….and fast. We sifted through dozens of books at the library and found this one. It clearly and concisely explains what has to be done (and not done) to reduce cholesterol and get a healthly heart. And it works.

I knew nothing about cholesterol and this was my first and only book. It was all I needed to get started. I followed his recommendations and lowered my cholesterol from 272 to 219 in 5 weeks.

I bought this book to help reduce my recently diagnosed high cholesterol problem. I’m an RN and found this book very inspiring and informative. I highly recommend it and am using most of his suggestions. The best book I have found on the subject & I have lowered my LDL and raised my HDL. Now I am trying his weight loss ideas that cover one chapter and suggest restricting carbs. I started that today. This book is worth the money and the author also writes a newsletter that you can subscribe to.
