When I first read this book more than 15 years ago, I was doubtful but soon changed my mind. The ugly readiness that had been creeping up my legs disappeared!! I’ve told many people. I won’t lend my book but now I have something I can share, thank you for providing this.

I read that book when it first came out. I purchased the abridged edition for my son but he told me he has my original book too.

I started following Kowalski, with his first writing of this book, because my Dad was diagnosed with high cholesterol. I think that was about 15+ years ago. The use of oat bran and niacin as well as taking many high fat foods out of your diet was daunting, The new edition, tho still using oat bran and a new form of non-flushing niacin, is much easier to follow and well worth a second try. (I bought the complete book). Before you commit to more prescription medicine, read this book and try a natural cure.

This book helped me realize the genetic component of high cholesterol & poor lipids can far outweigh a good diet and plenty of daily exercise. The book helped me find the correct dosage of slow & fast release nicotinic acid, and pantethine for my body and the importance of regular liver function tests while taking these supplements. Through my 20s and early 30s I had very poor Cholesterol & LDL / HDL levels. Three decades after discovering Kowalski's research, all the while following his supplement protocol, my levels have remained excellent (even when my diet or exercise slips). Thereby, avoiding the nasty side effects and high cost of prescription alternatives, such as statin drugs. Robert Kowalski is one of the most under-rated researchers of his time! His supplement recommendations are low cost, over the counter, alternatives to expensive prescriptions leaving large pharmaceutical companies no financial incentive to further his research or recommend his protocols. Furthermore, I have always purchased my supplements from Endurance Products due to their quality, consistency, and extensive research backing their products. I only wish I had written this recommendation many years ago as it may have helped others decide to give Kowalski a try, and perhaps live a healthier, more active, & longer life. - John Carter, Automotive Engineer, Age 61 years, still a middle of the pack Triathlete much to my surprise.

I wantedfa quick reference copy to double check quantities and frequencies, This edition did not have what I needed. So I continue to reference my complete copy. I will loan this one out for basic information.
