How did I do it? For a long time I was puzzled because my diet was about as good as I could possibly get it with all natural whole foods etc.. But about 5 days before I was due to get blood drawn, I came up with an idea.

I had been listening to a lot of radio talk shows, on and off. And, more and more, I was finding them to be aggravating because of lots of bad news and commercials. So I decided to keep the radio turned off completely for 4 days prior to having blood drawn, hoping that less stress would translate to lower LDL.

But I never expected LDL to go from 100 down to 67 in just 4 days. I'm totally amazed.
How do you know it was 100 just 4 days before you blood was drawn? Isn't it possible it went down to 67 right after you had your blood tested six months ago?
