ARTICHOKE CLEARS CHOLESTEROL CONCERNS JoAnn Guest Jan 12, 2005 21:21 PST

The Natural Health Report: September 2004

(NC)—High blood cholesterol, as measured by a lab test, is a concern for

many people because it is often a warning of oncoming heart disease, but

not all cholesterol is bad.

The liver makes about 90% of what is found in the blood and this is used

for repair and maintenance of the brain and glandular system.

It is cholesterol from our diet that can be a problem if it is

excessive. Drugs that lower cholesterol do not differentiate between

what we need and what we don't. Keeping the balance is the key to good

health.

Artichoke is prized for its positive effect on the liver. This means

that artichokes also have a positive effect on cholesterol, the liver

being the main source.

By stimulating bile acids in the liver, artichokes lower the excess

dietary cholesterol as bile moves it to the intestines where it is

eliminated from the body.

German clinical studies found that cholesterol was reduced

significantly within 12 weeks of using Artichoke. This method also

protects the liver and keeps the required, " good " , cholesterol.

Walther Schoenenberger found a way to preserve the best of the Artichoke

in a fresh, organic plant juice that is made by Salus Haus. Artichoke is

a best seller in the Salus line of plant juices, because of its positive

effects on digestion and the liver. Many natural health professionals

rely on it for its consistently good results.
