Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I have been drinking kombucha for about six months. I haven't lost any weight (big sigh) , my joint pain is somewhat better--but I also take tart cherry juice. Where I noticed a big difference was this spring my hay fever did not bother me at all. This last week I went to get blood test and my cholesterol was 185 with HDL of 54. I have been on liptor in past and went off of it a little more than 18 months ago. Last August simple cholesterol test was 230. I don't see on list anyone listing kombucha to lower cholesterol but I believe that is what caused mine to drop. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 That's very interesting. How much kombucha tea do you drink per day? Robin > > I have been drinking kombucha for about six months.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I have never agreed with the cholesterol crap the md's want everyone to believe. There are two good books out that pretty well show it is bunk. One is The Cholesterol Myth by Dr. Ravenskov and The Great Cholesterol Con by Colpo. I am reading Colpo's book now and surprisingly so far most of his evidence is based on FDA research. I would suggest checking them out. I have both books but have loaned Ravenskov's book to a friend.

TAMPA, FL 33624 tel: fax: mobile: ------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps you might be interested in the latest research which shows that the focus on cholesterol numbers may be misplaced. http://www.medicalconsumers.org/pages/cholesterol_skeptics.html <http://www.medicalconsumers.org/pages/cholesterol_skeptics.html> Research showing that eating 2 eggs a day actually increases good cholesterol: http://medcomres.com/articles/eggs_are_good.htm <http://medcomres.com/articles/eggs_are_good.htm> Another example is that coconut oil was once deemed a bad fat, because it becomes solid at room temperature it was believed to block the arteries. However, it melts at below our body temperature... so it would never be solid inside our bodies, therefore would never block an artery. In fact, it's been proved to protect heart health, increase metabolism, etc. Anyway point being, you might want to consider whether the focus on your cholesterol levels is causing stress, which is indeed harmful to heart health, and whether it might warrant a reconsideration of the drugs you're taking. Depending on your circumstances, of course. But I keep seeing articles saying that the traditional understanding of cholesterol (upon which the drug-protocols are based) is wrong, and that the side effects and stress involved in the drug protocols may be doing more harm than good. The article I've linked to above states that: > led off with a slide showing the results of all the major clinical > trials that attempted to prove that lowering cholesterol in healthy but > high-risk people would reduce their death rate from heart disease. " The > reduced rates of cardiovascular mortality were small for men and > non-existent for women, " said Dr. Ravnskov, who is the author of The > Cholesterol Myths, a paperback that refutes the theory that cholesterol > in our food and in our blood causes heart disease. > >These cholesterol trials also looked at total mortality, that is, the >deaths from all causes, and found little difference between the study >participants who tried to lower their cholesterol and those who did not. >In other words, some clinical trials showed that the heart disease death >rates were, in fact, lower among men who had reduced their cholesterol >levels.
