Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I made a tincture with red clover blossoms, garlic and habenaro. Out of 10 that tried it 9 lowered to where they wanted to be. I even had one gal try it and she went from 320 to 170. But from what I understand cholesterol is there to protect you, that bit came from Sally Fallon she has a cookbook called Nourishing Traditions. I went to a seminar she was having and one whole night was dedicated to cholesterol myth. The other thing that would help your cholesterol drop is do a liver flush, I never have had high cholesterol and all the cholesterol stones that came out of me was unreal. Well there is a few things that you can research. Knowledge is power. Hope this helps Gina Sharron <sharronms wrote: Does anyone know which herb is good for lowering cholesterol?.. my cholesterol is elivated and I haven't been able to lower it with low cholesterol diet.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Oatmeal and flaxseed lowered my cholesterol. I left a doctor that had me on Lipitor and went to a doctor who took me off of it and recommended oil and oats. Since I went to almost all raw food it has gone lower still. I eat some cooked food in the evening but soak my oatmeal and just warm it in the morning. I have it with fruit.

My name is Kimi and I live in MN with my hubby Terry. We are now empty nesters with our three kids grown and gone. We are blessed with three young grandblessings, ages 3 and 9 and 8 months. I have been recovering from many health issues such as, fibromyalgia, thyroid cancer, PCOS, diabetes, obesity, anemia and am currently being watched for lymphoma. I truly believe that God has provided cures for us through herbs and such as well as through our diet (eating more closely to how things were created, whole grains, grass fed beef, free roaming eggs etc. and not things that man has messed around with such as white flour, white sugar etc.). Now on to the cholesterol item. This is my own personal experience and hope you do not mind my sharing it. I was not trying to lower my cholesterol but mine dropped 40 points a few months after I started drinking raw (AKA real) milk. (I was not a milk drinker prior to this and followed a lower fat diet) This is straight from the bulk tank and has all the cream, not homogenized nor pastorized. I make it into Kefir and drink a good 12 to 24 ozs daily. At the same time I started using coconut oil and eating eggs nearly every day. Oh, plus I cut out most white sugars and only use raw cane, honey, agave or molasses. I do not do white flour either. I thought for sure when I have my cholesterol levels checked they would be sky high, I never thought it would drop! I went from my LDL being 120 down to 80, my HDL went up from 38 to 60! My doctor was happy with my improvements but never asked me how it happened. LOL. If she knew I was eating all those fats, she would faint! Another plus since I have started to eat more fats is my hormones seem to have evened out and my emotions are even. Plus I have not gotten real sick. That may be in a huge part to Umcka, CLO and Colloidal Silver though. Either way, I feel better and know I may have gotten the sniffles but not gotten sick! Kimi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " I do not ask that Thou should give me some high or noble task. Give me little hands to fold in mine. Give me little children to point Thy way, over the strange, sweet path that leads to You. Give me little voices to teach to pray. Give me shining eyes Thy face to see. The only crown I ask to wear is this, that I may teach my children. I do not ask that I may stand among the wise, the worthy, or the great; I only ask that softly, hand in hand my children and I may enter at the gate.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Sharron, I can't promise this will help, I just started it recently myself, however one of my teachers spoke highly of it. Take fenugreek seed (but it whole and grind it daily), take 1 tablespoon per day, mix it with some water and drink it, OR, what I've been doing is just adding it to the superfood mix that I make. He mentioned that he finds it works rather quickly at lowering cholesterol. Bonnie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 The red clover was dried and the garlic and habenaro were fresh. They were taking a dropperful several times a day. If your going to make this, make sure the red clover blossom are purplish in color, if they are brown they were picked at the wrong time and it will not work the same.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Dear Sharron, Not to sound like a broken record, but you want to be on large quantities of GARLIC!!! At least 8 cloves a day!!! You also need to change your diet so you're not getting so much of the LDL. Also, if you are eating commercial meats, you're getting nanobacteria which are the critters that build up arterial plaque. The Garlic is the place to start, but I'd look at your diet and other areas of your life as well for a complete handling.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Very valuable tip about harvesting the Red-Clover when the Blossoms are purplish in color; not brown. But I guess they turn brown upon drying; the phyto-plant estrogens are in the blossoms when purplish. I'd tried harvesting the red-clover too late. Thanks for posting.
