Will Drinking Tea Lower Your Cholesterol?

These days cholesterol is creating havoc, as death toll due to this disease is ever rising. Majority of the American population is said to have high level cholesterol and this makes them to suffer from its related diseases. By seeing this sudden increase many companies are now in a hurry to produce the drug that can reduce the cholesterol level significantly. And some how they are successful too but what they never highlight is the side effects attached to it. Firstly if we talk about cholesterol, it is a fatty, lipid and waxy substance circulating in the bloodstream. It not only provides the protective coating to the arteries but also produces sex hormones and many fatty acids required by the body.

But once this fat exceeds its limit it becomes the real threat. Nowadays cholesterol reductions medications are selling are like hot cakes in the American market but still many people are unaware of its side effects. Among this whole list of medications the new way which has grown immensely is the tea. According to the experts tea can also help in reducing the cholesterol level in the body. But concrete conclusion is still not out. Many experts feel it do but many discard this theory by calling it as a fluke. They feel that tea cannot reduce cholesterol but yes can curb the raising the cholesterol. However this theory too is not supported by any evidences.

According to the myth, tea can reduce cholesterol level in the body as it breaks down the complex and concentrated plaque on the arteries. But not an ordinary tea, only green and herbal tea has this feature. They tend to have some special herbs and shrubs which not only break down the piled up cholesterol but also curtail the cholesterol growth. But this process tends to take time as it is very lethargy and tedious process. In this the person has to drink green tea for certain amount of time and at fixed frequency. Mainly 35 cups of green tea and that too per week is necessary in order to break down the cholesterol.

Black tea too is of very good use in terms of reducing high cholesterol as it burn the concentrated fat. Being in natural state it has many benefits attached to it. But what make people reluctant in drinking it, is the bitter taste of it. That?s why despite being so beneficial people still avoid and go in for pills and drugs which are accompanied with array of side effects. So your health is in your hands and takes a wise step in order to have happy and healthy living.

The Healing Power of Echinacea

The use of Echinacea on wounds, infections, snake bites, insect bites and stings is beyond the miracles of modern medicine ever. It boosts the immune system about 30% to help the body?s own T-cells fight infection and rid itself of poisons. It contains a natural antibiotic which is comparable to penicillin.
Used as a mouthwash will get rid of canker sores, painful teeth and swollen gums. I have advised many of my subjects to use a combination of Echinacea and Golden Seal as a cure for strep throat. The results have had immediate effect and the streptococcus was gone within a few days.

  • Remedy:
  • Combine in equal parts. Put about a tablespoon of the powder in a muslin cloth tea bag and steep in boiling hot water for 10 minutes. Using it as hot as you can stand but not too hot to scold the tonsils, gargle for about 5 minutes at least 6 times a day of not more. This will treat the strep and soothe the throat but most important of all it will eventually release the pus sacs, in tact, at the back of the throat. When you spit out the liquid after gargling you will spit out the pus sacs as well. You may do well to put 1 or 2 drops of the liquid in each ear. This will help the itching go away. Continue use for about 10 days.
    Echinacea tea can be used for colds, smallpox, measles, mumps and arthritis.
  • Remedy:
  • Put about a tablespoon of the powder in a muslin cloth tea bag and steep in boiling hot water for 20 minutes. Remove tea bag and drink very warm, about 6 cups a day throughout the day. You will notice that urination is more frequent and may be a darker color than usual. This is normal don?t worry, its cleansing the system. You may also notice that if a slight fever is present, that it will be lessened if not gone.
    If fever or symptoms persist with anything for more than three days, it would be wise to consult a physician, as other problems may be present.
  • Tea Bags:
  • About 1-1/2 X 2 inches in size and made of muslin with a cotton string. One tea bag can be used at least three times. So, after each use put it in a sealed plastic bag in the fridge. Discard product but do not discard the tea bag, wash it and reuse it.
  • Point in Fact:
  • My neighbor has a black lab named Abby. She is the sweetest old gal at the age of 14. The other day she got into a tiff with the other neighbor?s dog and acquired a gaping hole in her leg. My neighbor didn?t realize she was wounded until the fur on Abby?s leg started coming off in clumps. All he had on hand at the time was a bottle of capsulated Echinacea pills to treat the wound until he could take Abby to the Vet.
    I told him to clean the wound with peroxide saturated cotton, let dry and empty 1/2 of the powdered Echinacea pill inside the wound, spray it gently with water to moisten, wrap and leave on until the morning. The next day when he removed the wrap, pus came out in a stream and you could see the swelling in the leg go down. He drained the wound for about 10 minutes then repeated my instructions. As the wound was too deep, Abby was unable to get stitches, so the wound was left to treat. He repeated my instructions reapplying fresh Echinacea twice a day. By the third day the wound was practically closed with the scab forming and the infection was gone. He was truly amazed at the Healing Power of Echinacea and quite frankly, so was I.
  • Echinacea will also treat these other diseases: influenza, tonsillitis, bronchitis, tuberculosis, meningitis, abscesses, psoriasis, whooping cough, ear infections, herpes, cold sores, cancers, leukemia, some tumors.

    Multiple Sclerosis and Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis

    It may not be main stream yet to say that most if not all disease is caused by one toxin or environmental factor of one kind or another. However, those that have been researching and investigating alternative health methods are well aware of this. And, those that have actually used them to cure, cancer, MS, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, etc., are even more acutely aware, of this fact, they are convinced and healthy.

    I know of my best friend who had Ovarian Cancer, and now does not, cured it using Dr. Hulda Clark?s methods. She is not the only success story by a long shot, and cancer is not the only disease that has been cured using Dr. Clark?s methods, again by a long, long shot.

    It is criminal that instead of making this known throughout the world our government, FTC, FDA, work hard to keep this from the public. The AMA, pharmaceuticals, etc., lobby the government hard to make sure they keep this from the public.

    People die, they lose their quality of life, children lose their parents and parents lose their kids and all in the name of greed. Most of this is unnecessary. Below, I have taken this from Dr. Hulda Clark?s book Cure For All Diseases, which you can purchse from the www.drclarkuniversity.org or www.drhuldaclark.org, I wanted to give a taste of how different, simple and inexpensive are other ways of getting and staying healthy.

    From The Cure For All Diseases, by Dr. Hulda Clark

    Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the brain and spinal cord. It is called lateral sclerosis if the disease is mainly in the spinal cord. It is caused by fluke parasites reaching the brain or spinal cord and attempting to multiply there. Any of the four common flukes may be responsible. Kill them immediately with your zapper and the herbal parasite program. They cannot return unless you re-infect yourself. Stop eating meats, except fish and seafood. All meats are a source for fluke parasite stages unless canned or very well cooked. Pets and family members are undoubtedly carriers of the same flukes, although they do not show the same symptoms. Give away your house pets. Don't kiss your loved ones on the mouth. Make sure your sex partner has also been freed of fluke parasites.

    The most important question you must be able to answer is why did these parasites enter your brain and spinal cord? When the brain contains solvents, it allows flukes to multiply there. The solvents, xylene and toluene are common brain solvents always seen in MS cases. Evidently these solvents accumulate first in the motor and sensory regions of the brain, inviting the parasites to these locations.

    Xylene and toluene are industrial solvents used in paint and thinners. It is also a pollutant of certain carbonated beverages (I found it in 7-Up(TM), ginger ale and others that I tested). Stop drinking them.

    All MS cases I have seen also harbor Shigella bacteria in the brain and spinal cord. These come from dairy products. They are manure bacteria. Be absolutely meticulous about sterilizing dairy products. Even one tsp. un-sterilized milk added to scrambled eggs could re-infect you. Not even heavy whip cream or butter is safe without boiling. Kill bacteria every day with a zapper. Shigellas produce chemicals that are toxic to the brain and spinal cord. Eliminating Shigellas brings immediate improvement.

    The other pollutant associated with MS is mercury from dental metal. The mercury that is constantly released in the mouth does not all get excreted by the kidneys or eliminated by the bowels. Some of it travels up to the brain and gets into the spinal cord as well. You will be able to eliminate and excrete more mercury by doing a kidney and liver cleanse. The mercury itself may be polluted with thallium which is even more toxic. For this reason mercury removal should be done extra thoroughly to be sure no thallium has been left behind.
