This is wonderful to prevent deseases and save lifes and quality of life for all people. Thank you very much for providing this helpful information.     7/9/2009 12:09:14 PM Unfortunately this diet is hard to find and even my cardiologist didn’t know about it. Fortunately we found it and wish that every doctor knew about it. It is easy to understand, easy to do and it WORKS! Whether or not you have a cholesterol issue, this is an excellent way just to eat and understand it.     7/8/2009 2:06:00 AM This appears to use most of the dogmatic approach of the American Heart Association, rather than taking into consideration newer evidence that shows that not all saturated fats are the same, that carbohydrates are more damaging on the whole than saturated or total fat intake, that animal products are generally damaging in the diet, and that cholesterol consumption dramatically affects circulating cholesterol. Very disappointing considering the excellent work that NCEP does. However, this document is better than nothing for the general population.     6/20/2009 5:57:36 PM Using this helped me to lower my weight and my numbers. Easy to follow.     5/16/2009 3:59:15 AM     4/30/2009 10:27:39 AM Does "Dr" Anderson also believe that manipulating the spine will prevent/cure heart disease too. It is interesting that the only people who typically identify themselves with "Dr" before their names are PhDs or chiropractors -- guess they’re trying to give themselves some credibility     12/29/2008 3:17:26 AM Dietary cholesterol does not increase heart disease risk, nor do saturated fats. Countless studies have tested these outdated theories and failed every time to find any benefit from them. Wrong dietary information means more people ending up on drugs -- which is evidently the point of the whole exercise.

An excellent tool to assist.     8/27/2008 1:58:53 PM     6/25/2008 9:39:12 AM     6/21/2008 1:39:30 PM     6/6/2008 5:10:50 PM Generally informative. Suggest having a "printable" format without all the color. Also, contact/number, whatever, to order the booklet and any related publications.     4/29/2008 3:58:50 AM     4/7/2008 6:52:54 PM     3/20/2008 10:41:23 AM     3/17/2008 12:29:18 PM My 53 year old husband just had a heart attack. This publication is a great start toward improving my new, lean "twigs and bark" diet for him. I love the realistic advice!     3/5/2008 7:46:35 PM     2/22/2008 3:51:36 PM This document is excellent. Could you make it easier to find? It should be featured right at the beginning of your cholesterol page with an easy link by icon and title. Don’t bury it! It’s great!     12/9/2007 9:16:31 PM This is one of the best overall discussions on Cholesterol I have read. Nice job. Clear and complete. Thanks.     11/11/2007 10:08:44 PM Extremely helpful and practical resource Much needed and useful information. Goes beyond the doctor saying that I had to lower my cholesterol. Actually gives a practical plan on how to do so. I have used some of this public domain material to speak to this issue on my career change website.     10/28/2007 1:35:12 PM     8/24/2007 3:05:23 AM     8/20/2007 8:21:00 PM     8/2/2007 6:03:39 PM     6/20/2007 2:57:54 PM This was very informative but I wish you would have information for those that have high cholesterol but do not need to limit calories, or actually need to keep a large number of calories in the diet in order to just maintain their weight. High cholesterol affects skinny people too!     4/24/2007 9:00:57 PM     4/19/2007 11:00:03 PM     3/26/2007 2:13:27 PM I already have high blood pressure and I was recently diagnosed with diabetes. My doctor said my cholesterol was in the danger area, so I guess all of these conditions put me in the Metabolic Syndrome area. She prescribed a different HBP med and suggested diet and exercise. Changing a lifetime of bad habits is not easy but with the help of the TLC guide I’ve already started to lose weight and I am actually looking forward to my next doctor’s appt. because I am making actual progress towards my goals of losing weight and exercising. Thank you so much for this guide, we can all benefit from a lot of TLC.     3/18/2007 2:26:32 PM thank you     3/6/2007 7:01:32 PM     10/6/2006 12:40:33 PM Extremely helpful and practical resource Much needed and useful information.

The TLC menus are a great resource.     4/13/2006 11:12:36 PM What happened to your good stuff? What happened to your good stuff? This one is too long.     2/16/2006 7:38:19 PM
