The cheapest way to raise your good cholesterol

 

Last week, I told you about the incredible healing abilities of the herb

goldenseal. This often-overlooked herb can actually raise your HDL cholesterol

over 6%. HDL is the healthy cholesterol that helps your body metabolize LDL

cholesterol correctly. It can be very difficult to raise HDL levels. But

there's another common herb that works even better than goldenseal. It's

available

everywhere. And it's cheap.

 

That herb is garlic. We've known for some time that garlic is great for

keeping your blood free of clots. And we've even known that it can lower your

bad

cholesterol levels. But new research shows that it can raise your HDL levels

- significantly.

 

In the new study, the researchers placed 150 patients with high lipids on a

therapeutic diet. Then they divided the participants into three different

groups. They gave the first group 400 mg of garlic (equal to one mg of allicin,

a key component in garlic). They gave the second group a different aromatic

herb. And they gave the third group a placebo.

 

The researchers followed the groups for six weeks. The garlic group's

cholesterol dropped 12.1%. Their LDL cholesterol dropped 17.3%, and their

hard-to-raise HDL cholesterol rose by a whopping 15.7%. The aromatic herb and

placebo

groups did not have any favorable changes.

 

Unfortunately, you don't see government and Big Pharma calling for the

entire population to take garlic supplements as they do with statins. Yet the

results are telling. You just don't need a statin drug. Garlic is cheap and

highly effective. Between Healthy Resolve's Advanced Cholesterol Formula,

garlic,

red yeast rice, Seanol, goldenseal, and fiber, you have the ability to lower

your LDL cholesterol, raise your HDL cholesterol, and even improve your

overall health without any side effects.

 

Yours for better health and medical freedom,
