Cholesterol Down: If you can't tolerate drugs, you now have an option. by R. Dunsmore (Santee, California)

(Recommended) No one ever tells you why to eat certain foods. This book prescribes how much and what to eat, tells you how it helps, cites case studies and their results showing you percentages of benefit derived from eating particular foods. Doctors are into saying drugs are the only way, while not even mentioning the substantial benefits that can achieved by a simple change in diet. The doctors and hospital told me no salt and no cholesterol after my stint. After my stint I was prescribed drugs that gave me muscle pain, prevented me from doing any kind of exertion, and basically left me bereft of anything to eat. I hungrily wandered the grocery stores and found nothing that didn't contain salt or cholesterol. After reading the book I've achieved the same results that my doctor achieved, but without the drugs and their consequent side affects. I'm now full of good foods, off the statin drugs, and following the diet prescribed in the book with the added addition of taking Niacin. Please note Niacin, not particulary mentioned in this book also helps reduce cholesterol, but can be harmful in large doses. Be careful not to exceed 1500MG of the slow release(or prolonged)Niacin, or 4000MG of the regular Niacin. Start slow taking small amounts of Niacin, take with food, the prickly sunburn flush feeling will pass with time as your body builds up it's tolerance.

Thanks, Dr. Brill. by The Sybarite (U.S.A.)

I followed between 5 and 7 of the ten steps outlined on this book with consistency and was able to lower my cholesterol from 255 to 173 in 3 1/2 weeks. I do not know if it will work for everybody, but it did for me. All I can say is thank you, Dr. Brill.

Healthy Food isn't Boring! by Ann Z (New York)

I first borrowed this book from the library when my husband was diagnosed with high cholesterol. We don't like to take medicine unless necessary, are healthy eaters, and knew we could make a few adjustments. Wow, is this plan great! My husband has lost 20 lbs in 2 months -- of course, the proof will be in the next blood test. Dr. Brill's plan boils down to this: fruit, whole grains, flax seed, nuts, beans, soy, fish, garlic, and plenty of walking. The book offers a lot of common sense (a healthy diet), but Dr. Brill takes the extra steps of explaining how each of the foods attacks cholesterol. It can get a little textbook-ish, but those details can easily be skimmed over. Honestly, if you're a junk food junkie, this isn't the plan for you. It takes work. You'll have to plan your meals and actually COOK from scratch, using fresh ingredients. But if you're willing to adjust your lifestyle, definitely give it a try. She has a number of good recipes, so you don't have to eat your vegetables and whole grains plain -- which is key to sticking to any diet.

It is an interesting read and the steps are easily followed, however, I need to see if they actually lower my cholesterol before I can give the book a thumbs up!
