I got the results of my quarterly blood test on Tuesday. I am happy to report that I am no longer taking Lipitor, my cholesterol medication. My total cholesterol was 129 which is *below* normal. The ratio of "good" to "bad" cholesterol of 3.44, which is normal. My bad cholesterol was actually very much below normal. My A1C, a measure of blood sugar levels, is holding steady at 6.1 which is at the high end of normal, but still normal. My Dr. bluntly said that he has never seen anything like this before. I am on the lowest level of diabetic medication of *any* of his patients *ever* and he has never seen *anyone* get off of cholesterol medication. Between following a strict low carb diet and many hours of Shaolin-Do training I am regaining my health. Needless to say, he asked a lot of questions about what I was doing!

I can not express the shear joy I feel every time I walk in to your school.

Thank You
