Lower Cholesterol Without Drugs by Roger Mason, provides a no nonsense practical guide using diet and supplements to achieve success.

Take control of your cholesterol with this 10-point plan from nutrition and fitness expert Dr. Janet Brill—without using drugs. If you are one of the nearly 100 million Americans struggling with high cholesterol, then Dr. Janet Brill offers you a revolutionary new plan for taking control of your health—without the risks of statin drugs. With Dr. Brill’s breakthrough Cholesterol Down Plan, you simply add nine “miracle foods” to your regular diet and thirty minutes of walking to your daily routine. That’s all. This straightforward and easy-to-follow program can lower your LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by as much as 47 percent in just four weeks. Cholesterol Down explains Dr. Brill’s ten-point plan as well as the science behind it. You’ll learn how each miracle food affects LDL cholesterol and how the foods work together for maximum effect, as well as: • How eating whole grains helps reduce LDL cholesterol in your bloodstream • Why antioxidants keep plaque from building up in your arteries • How certain steps change the structure of LDL cholesterol particles (and why it’s best for them to be large and fluffy) • Why walking just thirty minutes a day lowers “bad” cholesterol and cuts dangerous belly fat With everything you need to stay focused on the plan, including a daily checklist, a six-month chart for racking LDL cholesterol changes, tools for assessing your risk level for cardiovascular disease, sample weekly menus, and even heart-healthy recipes, Cholesterol Down is the safe and effective alternative or complement to statin drugs.

As a clinician working in my clinical practice for the last 35 years, I have seen many cases of patients with high cholesterol levels, and more importantly, high LDL lipoproteins. It appears that the number of patients seems to be increasing yearly and most of them have already started taking Statin drugs in order to control their cholesterol levels. When I tell them that it is possible to come off these drugs and stabilize their cholesterol and LDL levels naturally, while also optimizing their overall health and wellbeing, they look at me like I’m from another planet! I understand why this is the case! I really do! If these patients, who have usually seen a few medical doctors before sitting in front of me, have been told that the only answer to their cholesterol problem is to take pills, then who am I to disagree with the mainstream? This is one of the reasons why I wrote this book – in order to give people, the information that they need to empower them to take responsibility for their health and become drug-free and healthier in the meantime. If you KNOW what to do, then it’s not difficult. I have witnessed hundreds of patients stabilizing their blood fats and getting better by making the changes that I am recommending in this book. The beauty is that it does not take very long to achieve the desired results – if everything I recommend in this book is implemented, then you should see permanent results in 90-days! I sincerely hope that you become one of the “lucky” ones who follows through on the recommendations I give and optimizes your health – when you get there, please write to me and let me know what you achieved. Let’s begin our health journey by answering some of the basic questions like, what is cholesterol? Is there bad and good cholesterol? What is the “normal” range? Why do we need cholesterol? and more…

Discusses the uses, misuses, dangers, and benefits of statin drugs, counseling patients on how to make informed choices about side effects and lifestyle changes that can promote cardiovascular health.

As a drug chemist for a leading pharmaceu-tical company I made a startling discovery: you do not have to be dependent on FDA approved drugs to, avoid heart disease. In fact, research clearly shows the opposite. You don't need a single prescription drug to avoid this killer. The best selling drugs of all time are the cholesterol-lowering drugs known as "statins". They procure drug makers and their shareholders billions of dollars in profits every year. The success of these drugs is not attributed to their effectiveness but instead to slick and misleading marketing practices. This hype is fueled by egregious conflicts of interest amongst drug company servants disguised as experts. Don't I be surprised if your own doctor falls within this group. The truth be told, statin drugs are poisons - foreign to the human body and may at times be, life threatening. Avoiding heart disease should not be expensive or dangerous. A plethora of natural alternatives exist. Understanding them as outlined in this paradigm shifting book will arm you with the understanding and courage not to accept popular dogma. It may prove to be one of the greatest assets to your health.

In The Complete Idiot's Guide to Lowering Your Cholesterol, Dr. Joseph Lee Klapper, a noted cardiologist, takes readers from what cholesterol is and what it does through the many ways to lower it-what we eat and drink, both independently and in combination; mind and body approaches; and medications, natural remedies, and new methods on the horizon-and goes one big step further by offering Dr. Klapper's step-by-step plan for shedding cholesterol points. Following this plan, readers can begin where they are today, with whatever good or bad cholesterol level they presently have, and see a significant reduction!

The best-selling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors. Heart disease is the #1 killer.

Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease.

The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including: inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels. Best-selling health authors Jonny Bowden, PhD, and Stephen Sinatra, MD, give readers a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management.
