Summary: Once again: the truth about cholesterol
Comment: This expanded, updated paperback 2nd edition has all the truths of the 1998 hardcover and much more. These truths include:
* Diet has so little to do with one's cholesterol level that we
might as well say it has nothing to do with it.
* It's all right to eat eggs and lean red meat.
* TOTAL cholesterol level is irrelevant; you need to know BAD and GOOD levels, plus triglycerides levels.
* If diet helps at all, it does so only during periods of weight reduction. Diet reduces GOOD cholesterol as much as it lowers BAD cholesterol!
* To change the body factory (which determines your cholesterol levels), requires medication. NIACIN is the best. It does everything right: lowers bad cholesterol, raises good cholesterol levels, lowers triglycerides, reduces Lp(a) (nicknamed "the heart attack cholesterol," especially in women), and produces favorable
changes in bad and good cholesterol subfractions.
* The best-selling statin drugs do only one thing well: reduce bad cholesterol.
* Statins have caused at least 112 deaths in US and more worldwide. The first statin reached the US market in 1987, the others in the 1990's. Some experts think statins may cause cancer, as all of them do in animals, and that it will take more time for this to appear. (Tobacco and asbestos take 20-40 years.)
* Statins cause myopathy ("something wrong in muscles"), varying from mild aching to actual dissolving of muscles fibers. The latter can lead to kidney failure and death. If muscle aching occurs, the patient should stop the statin and contact his doctor promptly. Statin ads hide this warning in the small print or the fast talk at the end of expensive TV ads.
* Niacin has a safety record dating to 1956. In a 1966-1974 study at 53 US centers, niacin was the only drug that reduced heart attack and stroke, cardiovascular surgery, hospitalization, and deaths from all causes.
* This book teaches doctors and patients how to prevent flushing of the skin from niacin (using time-release niacin, with a morning aspirin for the first 2 weeks) and avoiding liver problems (by testing twice a year).
* Niacin IS NOT a do-it-yourself drug. It requires knowledgeable medical supervision.
* Reliable, generic time-release niacin costs $10-14 a month for usual doses. Statin prices vary from $42 to $142 a month.

How to Reach and Maintain Your Ideal Weight, a $9.95 no-nonsense book that WILL help you, loved ones, and friends achieve healthy, desired weights. Tough Talk doesn't scold you for being fat; it tells you to GET TOUGH with that excess fat and get rid of it--all of it! And then it tells you how.

Summary: After 30 months On Plain Niacin
Comment: After reading Dr. Parsons book I started taking Plain Niacin following Dr. Parsons' guidlines and found it was very effective in reducing total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL and Triglycerides. It is the most effective of any drug for raising HDL. I raised mine 31% and I am working on getting it higher by exercising. I do not yet have my HDL level to the preferred minimum of 45, but am confident I will get there. Low HDL runs in my family and, fortunately, my total cholesterol and LDL are so low now, I don't believe I am in a high risk category anymore.
The vast majority of Americans could prevent heart disease if they would become their "own doctor" and aggressively pursue a course of cholesterol treatment with a physician.
It is odd that Niacin is still in the category of "generally unknown" given that it was the first drug used in treating cholesterol and still is one of the most effective and has the lowest cost.
