Cholesterol dropped 41 points. The doctor said 'we don't normally see drops like this with just diet.' BP also dropped. It seems like magic!”
“In September my cholesterol came in at 259 — the highest I'd ever had. My doctor said I needed statins. I refused and asked for 6 months. I started Step One religiously (2 servings a day), changed my diet, and exercised. I just got my results — now I'm at 199. I brought it down 60 points!”
