It is just as effective as prescription drugs, without the side effects, is inexpensive and easy to do- Even cocoa powder can lower blood pressure by 4-6 points With special considerations for men, women, children and diabetics, as well as the truth on salt and sodium intake, this book could add years to your life and help you to decrease your prescription drug dosage - or even go without them all together.

Mer om författaren

Robert Kowalski is an internationally-acclaimed medical journalist. At the age of 35, Robert had already had a heart attack and bypass surgery and then a further bypass surgery six years later. Because of this he decided to find out everything he could about heart disease. The diet and some of the natural remedies he found out about led him to write his book The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure in 1987.
