Dr. Chris Hart and Amy Carey have just published a collection of 101 cholesterol lowering recipes that combine low-cholesterol and cholesterol-lowering foods to help you drop your cholesterol level quickly, easily and naturally.
Best of all they taste great, too! And, you'll find special bonuses to help you make any celebration meal healthier... without sacrificing the taste.

In fact, he can help you become a shrewd car-buying expert in just a couple of hours!
Here's what two readers have to say about Peter's book:
"Greetings Peter, Well, I went over your e-book and bought a Nissan Altima 3.5 SL for $250 under invoice. And the dealer's invoice was less than the other figures I saw on the Internet... Please accept my heartfelt thanks for your publication. It saved me thousands of my after tax dollars."
-- Walter G. Aiello, Ph.D., Manager, Network and Information Services, Duke University Medical Center ...
"I was a former Finance Manager in the car business and got your book mostly out of curiosity. I was pretty surprised when I read your section on the Finance Department! You certainly didn't hold anything back.
"You exposed every scam in existence plus some I never even knew about. Everyone who reads your book is going to thank you for saving them a lot of money.
-- Jerry Goettig, Former Finance Manager, Southern California
