Treatment for high cholesterol (Reduction Blood Platelets )
I want to share a secret for treating high cholesterol.
Three weeks ago l went for a cholesterol check.
To my surprise, it was above the normal range which should be less than 5.2
mmol/L. My reading obtained was 6.6 mmol/L. I had been consuming a lot of red meat and
lamb recently.
After consuming Black Fungus for two weeks, l had my cholesterol checked again
and found that my cholesterol level fell to 4.70 mmol/L
My pharmacist said that even cholesterol medication will need 1- 3 months to take effect.
She was very surprised and said it is a miracle.
Review:
I immediately followed an advice of a friend who told me about Black Fungus
(黑木耳- Black Fungus).
He had four block heart arteries, over 90 percent blocked.
His cardiologist advised him to go for bypass surgery, failing which he would suffer
an imminent heart attack.
His sinseh (Chinese physician) friend advised him against surgery as the procedure
would be messy, painful and expensive.
He followed the advice of his sinseh friend by consuming Black Fungus daily.
After consuming boiled Black Fungus juice for 40 days, he went for an angiogram.
His heart specialist was surprised and shocked that his arteries were all cleared of
any blockage and it would not be necessary to see him for another 10 years!
My observation is that Black Fungus juice is not only effective in treating high
blood cholesterol but also helps to bring relief to joint paints, arthritis and poor blood
circulation.
The internet information claims that Black Fungus reduces blood clot, preventing
thrombosis, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease and cancer.
Black Fungus contains abundant protein, ferric, calcium, vitamin, rough fiber, the
content of protein is equal to meat.

黑木耳Black Fungus (Cloud Ears)
(fresh and dried)
枸杞 Chinese wolfberry (goji berry)红枣Red Date (Jujube)
姜 Ginger
Preparation:
1) Pick a hand full of Black Fungus and soak in water for 1-2 hours
2) Wash Black Fungus and cut to pieces with scissors.
If you slice the fungus thinly with a knife it will look more professional but is quite
tedious.
3) Pour five bowls of plain water into slow cooker (crock pot)
4) Put 2-3 slices of 姜 ginger, 8-10 红枣 red dates, 20 枸杞(wolf berry) into crock pot.
5) Bring to boil for 8 hours.
One and a half bowls of Black Fungus juice remain after boiling overnight.
Note: Do not use too much Black Fungus because they will absorb all the water. Also boiling too long will result in not much juice is left in the slow cooker. I suppose you can adjust the amount of water to use or the cooking time so you can get 2 or 3 bowl of juice to drink. Instead of using slow cooker we can just boil in a pot which is not made of aluminium for 2 hours. Stainless Steel is great.
REMOVE the boiled black fungus when ready if the juice is to be drank later else
it will absorb most of the liquid.
For one person I will normally use 2 pieces of black fungus, soak it a while and throw away the water then soak again in one pot of water and boil for 2 hours. I will add the red dates later and the Goji berries just before the tea is ready. Well it has manage to prevent someone from having to take high blood pressure medications.
