Customer Reviews

A "Must Read" !

The earlier you read this book the better. If you could absorb and apply this information in your 20's you would be dramatically ahead of the game. Application in my 50's has made a dramatic impact on my blood test results in a very short period of time and I feel better! Do something for yourself, read this book, it WILL have a positive impact on your life.

A must read for both Dr and patient

I am a physician assistant in Cardiology and I have put into practice much of what this book teaches. Alot of it is what I've known for a long time but have not had alot of the research to back up my theories. I recommend it to every patient who has the slightest interest in taking control of their own health.

The best source for understanding causes of heart disease

The lipoprotein story is a hard one to tell to the public, but Dr. Superko does an extraordinary job. He tells us in plain English just why the national obsession with cholesterol has misguided us, and how the superior insights provided by lipoprotein testing uncovers hidden heart disease risk far more effectively. He peppers his well-written book with gripping stories of real people who have had life-saving information provided through lipoprotein testing. I've personally met Dr. Superko, and I find his book to be as engaging as he is in real life. If you or a loved one evenly remotely suspect that heart disease could be in your future, Dr. Superko's book is the authoritative resource to turn to.

Layman's Guide to Latest Heart Testing and Treatment

I've been looking for this kind of book for years. With a family history, high cholesterol and adverse reaction to statin's I needed help in understanding what's going on in detail and what are my non-invasive treatment alternative's. This book helps you find the answers by giving you a short basic test and then providing simple instruction of how to take it to the next level for an individualized "cardiac fingerprint". Instead of just the basic cholesterol exam it explains in layman's terms the most important tests to request and their meaning.I plan to share this one with my doctor as well as the entire family.

Newest heart disease research provides critical information

This outstanding book brings the concerned person the most up to date heart disease research in a clear style that motivates you to reduce your risk factors. The newest blood tests give you a clearer picture of your personal heart disease risk than you could ever get from simple cholesterol (HDL and LDL) readings. He gives you concrete suggestions about diet, exercize, medications, and supplements. All of this from one of the researchers who has spent the last 20 years treating patients and studying heart disease. This book gets my highest recommendation.
