Rachel, I did a search for the 8 week cholesterol cure and your post came up.
My numbers are similar to your's and I've changed my diet and reading this book. I wondered how your numbers look now, did the book and diet work for you?

Started a new thread with this post, with reference to the original thread. Please do not reply to a 1 1/2-year-old thread. It really slows down the server. The original poster has not posted since this thread was started. Thank you.

boubou,
Why don't you read the book from the library and give us a summary of Kowalski's methodology.

All I can find is that he recommends a "special plant substance" (my guess it it plant sterols.) His book was written 20 years ago so the info is kind of old and the first edition even predates the invention of statins.

The hype about the book always starts with "he had a heart attack and TWO bypass operations." Maybe it was the BYPASSES that saved his life rather than the subsequent diet he discovered. I think an ideal CURE diet might start with the phrase "he AVOIDED a heart attack and two bypass operation."

One has to be every skeptical about 8 weeek cures for a disease that takes a lifetime to develop.

His first heart attack was age 35, so he seems to be a special case of someone who must have done EVERYTHING wrong.

I wonder why everything you say makes a lot of sense....it's pure logic!

Thanks for your insight.
