I got the results of my latest blood tests, as well as from a stress test I took last week.

The stress test was completely normal, so that was good news.

But it was my blood tests that astounded the doctor.

I wrote about this once before - I had my blood tested at the beginning of January, and the results were not good.  My cholesterol was 206 (moderately high) and my triglycerides were 529 (scary high).  My doctor later told me that if she had seen me the day I got the results (I saw the PA that day instead) she would have put me on meds immediately.

Well, after six weeks of USD/UM, my cholesterol is now 162 (44 points lower) and my triglycerides now stand at 126.

That's not a typo.  One hundred twenty-six. 404 points lower.

I think that bears repeating. In six weeks I on this program my triglycerides dropped OVER FOUR HUNDRED POINTS.

In amazement, my doctor wanted to know what I had done, so I told her.  She was very impressed.  She actually took notes about it.

Now I don't need meds.  And of course I have lost 26 pounds.

That means I still have probably sixty pounds to go, and my HDL is too low -- I still have some serious work to do.

But if anyone asks me if I am a believer in Dr. Hyman and his work, I can only answer, "HELL YES I AM!"

Thank you, Dr. Hyman.  Thank you from the bottom of my (much healthier) heart.
