Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 If you were making your kombucha with __Pu-erh__tea than that may have been the major contributing factor. (French study on pu-erh tea lowering cholesterol) or Red Yeasts (Distillers Yeasts) or eating a lot of pickled ginger. However KT, according the Traditional Chinese Herbal medicine, breaks stagnation and moves the blood which may correspond to the western defined condition of HCL, therefore TCM may see a cause and effect where western science sees no relationship. Red Yeasts (also used in pickling ginger giving it that reddish color) contains the same chemical markers as Lipator and other Rx drugs for lowering cholesterol. (FDA has warning not to mix those with your prescriptions and attempted to remove the foods from the market as they posed a danger - when combined with the drugs). Enjoy Your Health, Ed Kasper L.Ac.

Posted by: " emrude " emrude@... emrude Date: Sat Aug 5, 2006 7:57 am (PDT) 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...
