Florence's Testimonial, September 2009

Dr. Brill, I just wanted to let you know that I read the book and had amazing results.

I am 42 year old wife & mother of two kids and work fulltime. I have always been very healthy (BMI=21, run 12+ miles/wk, wt lift 3xs/wk, low blood pressure) however I have had 240 cholesterol since my mid 30s. I assumed it was my family genes however I refused to start taking statins at such a young age.

That's when I found your book, read it in 2 days, and made myself a spreadsheet with all the items I needed to eat each day. The results were great, I'm down to 180 and I'm telling EVERYONE about the book!

Just wanted to say thanks and give you another happy ending!

Ken's Testimonial, August 2009

I want to thank you for writing Cholesterol Down. In April I was informed that my cholesterol level was 263. I did not like the idea of going on medication, so I began doing some research. I came across your book, read the testimonials, and ordered it that night. I have been following your advice for eight weeks and my last cholesterol test came back at 187, with all levels within the normal range and all the ratios good. My doctor was thoroughly impressed! Most importantly, I feel great! Thanks again."

Ruthie's Testimonial, August 2009

Cholesterol down comment and thank you.
Good morning. I am a sixty-five year old school teacher who exercises regularly and eats healthily. However, in spite of these good habits, my cholesterol was high: 273 total; 270 TRI, 45 HDL 174 LDL. So my doctor wanted to medicate. Instead I asked for a reprieve and went to the library and found your book. I took the advice presented and four weeks later had another blood test. Total 161; TRI 184; HDL 49 and LDL 75. Thank you so much. The regimen you suggest will be a constant life style for me. Thank you so much.

I want to thank Dr. Brill.
Your book has helped me so very very much. All of my numbers were in the normal range thanks to your book. Every day I eat the required meals on the cholesterol down plan. I also have stopped eating processed foods. My doctor asked for your name he wanted to read your book. Again, thank you very, very much. Your book stopped me from having to take statins.

Christopher's Testimonial, May 2009

To say your book has changed (and probably lengthened) my life is an understatement. I had the luck to be born into a family with a long history of heart disease and short lifespans. 60 years old is considered to be a long life. My cholesterol has always been in the 250 to 260 range. At the end of last year my doctor said I had to start taking statins. My father had taken them for years and suffered with leg pains and general weakness and still only lived to be 64. I had tried several other natural remedies for lowering my cholesterol with no consistent results. Sometimes they seemed to work but the next time my blood was tested it was right back up. During a search I found your book. I started following your recommendations in January and the bad numbers came down and the good went up immediately. Each month since then the numbers have improved. My total cholesterol is now stable in the 160 to 170 range and as an added bonus my weight has dropped from 186 lbs to 160 lbs. I feel great and seem to have loads more energy. During my physical in May my doctor was amazed by what has been accomplished following the recommendations in your book. Thank you again.

LDL Cholesterol started at 154 and now is at 68.

Total Cholesterol started at 224 and now is at 128.

I have lost 24 pounds (now weigh 165).

Thanks so much for writing this book. This has truly been a life changing and life saving experience.

Robyn's Testimonial, April 2009

Dr. Janet: I wanted to thank you so much for your book "Cholesterol Down." I feel that it saved my life. When my husband and I applied for life insurance. that's when I found out my cholesterol was 235. I went to the doctor who suggested I go on medication. I did not want to do that, so for 3 months tried diet and exercise. I thought I was successful, because I lost 15 pounds, but my cholesterol was then 255! So I went on medication. After 8-9 months my legs were hurting so bad I could hardly walk! I went back to the doctor who said it could be the medication. I went off the medication and after one week I felt great. I then realized that all my muscles had been hurting. So the doctor tried me on a different medication, but after 3 weeks the problems were back. So I went off the medication, started researching and checked out several books from the library, one was yours. I read it and started on the diet right away. I developed a spreadsheet to help me keep track of the foods and exercise. I gradually incorporated a few new foods or supplements and was up to speed with two weeks. I went back to the doctor after two months and my cholesterol was 197! (As a side note, I also lost 25 pounds.) My doctor was flabbergasted and kept saying, "are you sure you haven't taken any medication?" He wanted to recheck me in three months to see if I could live with this new regimen. I went back, cholesterols was 186. I just went back this past week for another recheck, 182. I have recommended your book to others and have shared my spreadsheet also. Thank you again for your book and God bless you in your future endeavors.

Anna's Testimonial, April 2009

Dr. Brill,

Thank you for writing such a simple, easy, natural plan for lowering your cholesterol.

I started this program last fall after hearing about it by someone at the gym. My cholesterol was 241. I had tried other natural remedies to no avail. After my about 6 weeks and my first cholesterol screening, my cholesterol dropped 12 points. I have continued your program and have recently been retested and I am proud to say that my cholesterol is now under 200.

My doctor was impressed last fall, now I think she was blown away. She wanted to know if I had someone else take the test for me.

Thank you so much, I have told everyone about your book and how simple and easy it is.

God Bless you and your family.

Cholesterol Down A success!

My Dr. told me I had 2 months to get my cholesterol down or I'd be put on medications for it. I found your book and followed it for 4 weeks. My cholesterol dropped from 234 to 186. My Triglycerides dropped from 316 to 176 (still working on it ).

Thank you, Pat K.

Pat's Testimonial, March 2009

Dear Dr. Brill,

My wife, Karen has a high cholesterol problem. She began the Cholesterol Down program approximately 5 weeks ago having elected not to take statins. She received the results of her blood test two days ago and was elated to find that her LDL fell from 191 to 131 and her total cholesterol dropped from 269 to 200. We don't have a base line for her HDL and triglycerides but her LDL is good at 55 and her triglycerides are also very good.

My wife is not overweight, has a family history of high chloesterol and for those reasons, four different doctors over the past few months had told her to take statins, that diet modification wouldn't work.

When her doctor got the results, the doctor was both very pleased and surprised that the Cholesterol Down approach worked. The doctor asked my wife for the name of your book and said she plans to purchase and read it.

Thank you for helping us. Pat G.

Susan's Testimonial, February 2009

Hi Dr. Janet!
I just wanted you to know that one of my clients, recently diagnosed with celiac disease, and already having had a continued lifestyle goal of improving his hyperlipidemia—has been using your book’s advice with great success. We saw a dramatic rise in his HDL in the first 3 months of implementing his gluten free regime. We will be checking his lipids again in 3 months. The evidence-based approach has been very workable for this gentleman, and we look forward to improvement in his LDL!!

Many thanks – sometimes we don’t hear about the good things we do!!

Karen's Testimonial, January 2009

I have gotten my chol levels back in order with your book, Cholesterol Down. I did not use all the steps. I could not tolerate the Metamucil ...in less than two months I lowered my total chol from 278 to 200, and my LDL from 198 to 106.

In 2004 I had 5 by pass and one mitral valve repair open heart surgery. My total chol at that time was 325. With Zetia and a fairly good diet (before I read your book) my chol was about 210 and LDL about 110. Then I stopped the Zetia. With your book I can keep the levels normal. And my head up. On the Zetia I had stomach cramps, dizziness and fatigue. I could not tolerate statins, and would never take them anyway.

Thank you so much for your efforts,

Karen W.
