Robert E. Kowalski, a medical journalist for more than twenty years, devised this pro-gram for his own cholesterol problem when all else failed. By the age of forty-one he had suffered a heart attack and two coronary bypass surgeries. After the traditional dietary approach to reducing cholesterol proved only minimally effective, and faced with the unpleasant alternatives of drugs or severe dietary modification, he created this pro-gram, which has proved astonishingly effective not only for himself but for the many others who have used it. Here's a sample of what readers are saying about The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure:
"My blood cholesterol dropped from 288 to 150 in seven weeks. When I told my cardiologist this, his response was 'unbelievable."
