LOWERCHOLESTEROL WITHOUT DRUGS

What they are saying about Lower Cholesterol Without Drugs
I really didn’t want to change my diet, give up my bad habits or start exercising. You’ve shown me a way to lower my cholesterol without taking drugs or changing my life. Now, I’m taking ten different supplements not just for my high cholesterol, but for my general health. John F, Miami, FL
I never knew there way any other way than prescription drugs. The drug I was on costs almost $100 a month, plus the doctors visits and the liver tests they kept running on me. The supplements you said to take are very inexpensive and I don’t have to see the doctor all the time now. My cholesterol is much lower on these supplements than it was on the prescription I was taking. Mary L., Parma, OH
I was overweight, ate the wrong foods, didn’t take any supplements and sat around watching TV for exercise. I stopped eating red meat, butter and cheese for a start. I took some of the supplements in the book. I walk the dog every day now. I’m losing weight and my cholesterol is now normal. This is really reasonable. Paul J., Lodi, CA
I had genetically high cholesterol and triglycerides both over 300. The prescription drugs I took didn’t lower them much at all and cost me a fortune! I had pretty much given up until I read your book. I take most of the supplements and changed my diet a lot. I joined the YMCA and swim three times a week now. My cholesterol and triglycerides are now in the high normal range after only three months. I’m glad I discovered your book.

About This Book
The research around the world on the effects of cholesterol and triglycerides on coronary heart disease (CHD) is simply overwhelming and inarguable. CHD is the primary cause of death in Western countries. All of the tens of thousands of abstracts in Chemical Abstracts (the “Chemists Bible”) for the past 15 years were reviewed by hand. The largest, most interesting, and most thorough studies were selected. The researchers of the world are basically very much in agreement that high cholesterol and triglyceride levels are the main predictors of CHD conditions.
This is a very factual book with endless scientific citations and references to published studies in medical journals. It was meant to be this way so you would know the things you read in here are truthful, honest, and accurate. No one has ever taken the last fifteen years of published research and condensed it down into a short easy-to-read and understand book like this. There are many books available on heart and artery health, but most all of them simply aren’t helpful at all.
Where else are you going to read a review of over thirty supplements that are supposed to lower your cholesterol and triglycerides? Where else are you going to see beta- sitosterol, guggul gum, flax oil, beta glucan, and soy isoflavones re-commended as the cornerstone of your cholesterol supplement program? And nowhere else are you going to read an explanation of why your basic hormones affect your blood lipid levels, and how to measure most of these at home without a doctor.
Everyone who reads this book will have the ability to naturally improve their blood lipid profile, have better heart and artery health, and live longer without resorting to drugs or surgery.
OVERVIEW
The information you find in this book can help you choose to do whatever path you like and still lower your cholesterol and triglycerides naturally without drugs, medication or surgery. In an ideal world it would be wonderful to see everyone who reads this book to go on a natural foods diet, walk an hour a day, join a gym, not smoke cigarettes, limit alcohol and coffee, take about twenty supplements a day, and test and balance all their basic hormones. You would never need to test your cholesterol levels again.
Anyone can make continual better choices in the food they eat every day. You can do some kind of exercise you enjoy even if it is just walk the dog a half hour a day. There are programs available to stop smoking and to stop drinking alcohol. It is easy to take at least a dozen proven, inexpensive, effective and safe natural supplements. You can test your hormone levels and take melatonin, pregnenolone, DHEA, progesterone, thyroid hormones, GH, or testosterone where indicated. These are things anyone can do.
You can lower your cholesterol and triglycerides with no change in diet, exercise or lifestyle simply by taking the supplements recommended herein, but that is not the message of this book at all. Diet is central. You can see very dramatic changes in your health just by making some better food choices every day, and taking the worst culprits like butter out of your daily fare. You can reduce excessive smoking, drinking alcohol, or coffee consumption, if that is a problem, without giving them up completely if you feel you can’t. You can find a physical activity you enjoy and take it up daily. And you can balance most of your hormones inexpensively without even seeing a doctor. You can even keep taking cholesterol lowering medication and use the information in this book to lower the dose and make it more effective - but I hope everyone who reads this will put down their medication forever. You don’t need prescription drugs in your life.
CHD is the biggest cause of death in the Western world, but this doesn’t need to apply to you after reading this book and making some better choices in your life.
