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! |

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.

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. I use the past tense because nowhere in these reviews do I find the information that Kowalski died suddenly in November 2007 of a pulmonary aneurysm at the relatively young age of 65. Kowalski's online newsletter has been discontinued. It is curious that the regular physicals and special medical monitoring Kowalski describes in his book did not reveal this problem. Pulmonary aneurysms are rare, but not undetectable. Kowalski cited the results of those tests as proof his program worked, and it appears the program addressed the most obvious of Kowalski's circulatory problems, but it is just as obvious that Kowalski's doctors missed the boat, with tragic results. Just goes to show that now matter how determined one is, no matter how disciplined one is, fate has a way of stepping in.

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.

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!

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 problem with taking the niacin I emailed them and they called me to discuss a solution. Good personal touch.
