The Cholesterol Hoax (Paperback)

by Sherry A. Rogers (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Cholesterol is not the biggest cause of heart disease nor is it predictive of heart disease. In fact, over half the folks who die of a heart attack never had high cholesterol. But they did have other warnings that could have saved their lives, had they been checked. And the cure for these is spelled out here via safe non-prescription nutrients. Cholesterol is merely the messenger, the smoke detector, alerting you to a curable problem. Why shoot the messenger with a drug when you can find the cause and cure once and for all?

2.0 out of 5 stars A mess., May 1, 2008

By	jeffmart (Concord, NC) - See all my reviews

First let me say I am a big fan of Dr. Roger's Detoxify or Die. I have read it four times and have highly recommended to family members. Dr. Roger's latest book, however, is not in the same league as D or D. For example, she states at the beginning of Chapter 5 that it should be clear that cholesterol is not the cause of coronary heart disease. Yet, she devotes a whole chapter on using supplements to lower cholesterol. If it's not the cause and is only the messenger, why would we want to lower cholesterol and not address the root cause? Also, there are far too many references to her newsletter and previous books. When I buy a book like this, I want new, useful information, not a passive sales pitch. The information she covers here is nothing she hasn't addressed before. This is very disappointing, as she puts out a new book every three years. I honestly feel she could have covered a different topic then cholesterol and was surprised by the choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should own this book, April 18, 2008

By	RuthieM (Binghamton, NY) - See all my reviews

I received this wonderful book a couple of days ago and find it is very hard to put down! It is very interesting and informative, easy to understand. I did not know that too low cholesterol is not good either! The Table of Contents is very detailed, listing all subtitles and corresponding page numbers, making it very easy to find what you are looking for, as well as an index. Alzheimer's is reversible! I own all of Dr. Sherry Rogers' books and have learned from all of them. Her 8-page, Total Wellness Monthly Newsletter, which is mentioned in the book, is excellent as well. I highly recommend this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Book, June 7, 2009

This is a useful book. However, it contains much repetition and could probably have been half the length.
