Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 well I did some research so I guess I can answer my own question. Apparently too much green tea isn't so harmless like i hoped, esp if in pill form. It can cause kidney and liver damage among other issues. So a little wont do anything and a lot will cause more problems. Apparently its no cure or anything close. From: Vicki <genuinelysweet2002@...> Subject: Re: rheumatic Green Tea rheumatic Date: Saturday, November 1, 2008, 10:21 PM So if grean tea helped mice with Sjogren's, does this mean a human can do the same but take HUGE quantities of it since we are much bigger than mice? And how much more would one take? I assume proporionally, but how many times are we bigger than mice? If a mice weighed say, a pound hypothetically, and a person weighs 150 ilbs then do we take 150X more green tea or not so much but take it a long time to see results? I feel like I'd have to take a whole bottle everyday! Is this safe? Does it work? It's not being done....but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Your using the mice model much differently than any researcher does.....your hypothetical is classic apples/oranges, resulting in a flawed conclusion. Using mouse size to correlated human dosage could not possibly be accurate. Mice short life span and rapid reproductive rate make it possible to study disease processes in many individuals throughout their life cycle. All of the mice are the result of careful inbreeding so that specific strains of genetic material are present. This makes it conducive to seeing specific attributes resulting from disease or from some drug or supplement. Nobody (researchers) knows if green tea will cure disease or even help or even what dose may be helpful. All they have right now is the basis for more research. Just about every supplement out there can do damage when it is concentrated. So drink lots of tea over time. That can't be too bad, otherwise China would probably have much less than one and half billion people. Jeff rheumatic From: genuinelysweet2002@...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 China drinks rather than take the more potent supplement but i focused on the supplement becasue drinking green tea it is not enough to cure illness. The Chinese are much less likely to have Sjo, *perhaps* because of green tea or perhaps becasue their genes dont predispose them as much illness. But in any case, if it was the green tea at most it shows it as preventative. Curing is a whole different story which I guess they dont know for centuries to come at this snail pace.....
