Cherry Juice is more for arthritis.
I finally quit the Statins (I was borderline anyway) and I’ll probably switch to Red Yeast Rice. Niacin really jacks up the HDL.
I received an email on friday stating that my doctor had died at home in his sleep and another was taking over his patients.
He was younger then me!
He looked like he worked out. His website showed him surfing and had links to videos telling you about healthy living....
I think it was the healthy living that killed him or the steroids....
Get your blood tested by your doctor. Those side effects should not be ignored.
This is from an American who can not stand the taste of hot tea. I like Iced tea but not Sweet Tea, sorry my Southern brothers, I drink it straight up no sugar or other artificial flavorings.
It had the most subtle flavor.
I drink lots of hot tea, sometimes double strength Earl Grey with French vanilla creamer, but usually just straight up. The packets the tea bags come in retain the wonderful scent days after taking the bag out for making tea. ... Bigalow is good tea, btw.
My favorite Earl Grey teas- Bentley’s, Stash and Ahmed. I tried Teavana’s and couldn’t finish the cup. With Earl Grey, It’s either good or undrinkable for me.
Everyone who is concerned about cholesterol numbers needs to read “Grain Brain” by Dr Perlmutter. Lots about cholesterol and the function it plays in keeping your brain healthy.
If I had a wife ...
What a great site! Thanks for sharing that link about heart disease and cholesterol. I am going to pass in on

I was a real coffee lover - kept trying teas but couldnt stay with them -
- until I came across *Republic of Tea* teas - they had/have those pretty tins lined up along the shelves - in Whole Foods etc. (Accepted as one of the better teas.)
I love their *Earl Greyer* black tea - loose (cant stand the bag stuff).
And I love their *Green Earl Greyer* green tea - DELICIOUS. The hint of that oil flavor comes thru so well.
[ Here's a coincidence: by now I have quite a collection of their teas: black, green, herb. When it is tea time, I look at the tins lined up and choose what appeals - just now what I chose and am drinking as I got to this thread, and that I haven't had for some weeks - Earl Greyer black ! ]
I started with tea balls to hold the loose tea (NO ADDITIVES FOR SURE). But not large enough. Look what I found:
I boil about 18 oz water in a glass pot in the microwave (the only thing I use that thing for btw) and make that much tea - and needed something larger to hold the amount of leaves necessary.
I found something to hold that much loose tea: a cylindrical open-at-top metal thing with holes and a net at the bottom and a little handle, rubberized, that came with a different tea pot, to hold the tea leaves and insert into the pot after boiling the water. And it’s easy to dump them out and clean.
The tea holder thing came with a nice top to it also, that I use with every cup of tea to keep it hot: metal with a rubberized rim - all ok for high heat.
I keep the extra tea hot in a thermos as I want it.
Are your genes by any chance from Italy? I recall some time ago hearing about a certain place, I think it was a certain town, where about all the people had very high cholesteral readings - but were all perfectly normal otherwise, and had no ill effects.
I was a required part of the upbringing of a young woman when I was young, an essential social skill to impress the mothers of the young man they were trying to trap into marriage.
To the young men in this situation tea was the last thing on their minds, but the statement, “She is nice but so common, was a death knell.” from dear old Ma.
Regretfully I did not listen to the suggested death of the relationship.
Years later I came into possession of a photograph showing my dear old Ma working her womanly wiles on my Father in a Bar in Boston during WW2.
She was smoking hot, she was Black Irish and smoking hot is something usually attributed to them, and she had the He is mine and no one Else's look.
Neither of my grandmothers approved even though she could serve tea in the approved manner.
Saw that years ago and medical science was supposed to do a study on the people but I never saw a follow up.
no
You can get larger tea ball or boil the tea and use a fine strainer. Another use for a tea ball is as a sachet de garnie(SP), when you have to use a spice bag less messy.
