The Effects Of High Cholesterol On Our Body
Source Of Article Provided by Miss Maggie Of Healthline
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.

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.

Thick Black Fungus
Natural remedies for high cholesterol
High blood cholesterol is a very common condition mainly due to our unhealthy diet.
It is not a disease but a negative health condition that may contribute to many forms of diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases.
This article is mainly on how to reduce high cholesterol, and not about cholesterol.
High cholesterol is defined as a measurement greater than 200 mg/dL.
LDL cholesterol levels greater than 130 mg/dL and HDL cholesterol levels less than 60 mg/dL are considered high.
So much for the technical measurement.
There are numerous natural foods that can reduce high cholesterol.
Below are five such foods:
Oatmeal or oats
Eggplant or aubergine. Also known as brinjal
Black beans
Corn
Enoki mushroom. Those little Japanese needle mushroom with tiny white caps.
However, the most potent one for reducing high blood cholesterol is the black fungus.
What is black fungus?
The technical name for black fungus is Auricularia polytricha or Hirneola polytricha.
What a mouthful!
It is also known by other equally interesting names: cloud ear; tree ear; wood fungus, ear fungus, mouse ear, and jelly mushroom.
The Chinese call it “yun er” which means “cloud ear.”
Let us just call it Black Fungus.
Black fungus is usually sold in dried form. There are actually two types of black fungus.
The very thick one and the smaller flakey variety.
Here we are referring to the thick black fungus.
It measures around 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 inches) and is black on one side and grey on the other.
Black fungus is very popular in Chinese cuisine.
Although tasteless by itself, when cooked with other ingredients, it absorbed the flavor while maintaining its crunchiness.
Black fungus is used in Chinese herbal medication to increase blood fluidity and improve blood circulation.
Black fungus can reduce high blood cholesterol.
Medicinal uses:
Black fungus has a reputation in Chinese herbal medicine for increasing the fluidity of the blood and improving circulation.
It is given to patients who suffer from atherosclerosis.
Atherosclerosis is the narrowing of the arteries caused by plaque build up.
Signs and Symptoms Of Atherosclerosis
Western medicine is now investigating centuries-old claims made by Eastern sages and finding them surprisingly accurate.
“黑”什么意思呢？“黑”是黑木耳。
黑木耳这个东西还特别好，它可以降血粘度，刚才讲的大款，血粘度太高，他吃
黑木耳就正好。黑木耳吃后，血液便稀释，不容易得脑血栓，也不容易得冠心病。现
在很多老年人痴呆，其实这个痴呆是很多细小的毛细血管堵塞了，不是一根大的堵，
突然堵，半身不遂，破了就脑出血；细小的毛细血管慢慢地堵塞脑子不行了，傻了，
记忆没有了，这种情况大多数是因为血粘度太高造成的。吃黑木耳正好，一天 5 克至
10 克，相当于一斤黑木耳吃 50 天至 100 天，每天一次吃一点，做汤做菜都可吃。
怎么发现黑木耳好吃呢？美国医生偶然发现，一天看病，病人是美籍华人，医生
问：“你怎么搞的，是不是药吃多了。”他说：“没有啊”。“可你的血粘度明显下
降，你肯定药吃多了？”他说：“我肯定药没多吃。”“那奇怪了，那你最近吃过什
么吗？”他说：“我前天到过加拿大中国城，吃了一顿中国饭，木须肉，有肉片、鸡
蛋还有木耳。”美国医生一想，肉片没用，鸡蛋更没用，“恐怕是你们中国人爱吃那
种很怪的东西，
不信你再去一趟试试看。”哎，再去一次，果然见效了，一看行了，
最后他研究发现，原来是中国的黑木耳减低血粘度。文章一发表后，台湾、香港到处
都用这个办法。后来我们北京心肺中心专门研究了黑木耳，兔子、耗子用了 5 克到
10 克就能降低血粘度。后来有一次我为病人看病，碰到一个台湾企业家，很有钱，
这个人得了冠心病，血管都堵了，要到美国做心脏搭桥手术。到美国一看，医生说：
“不行，现在排的满满的，你一个半月以后再来，我给你排一下。”一个半月以后，
他再去，一做冠状动脉造影，三个血管通了，你没有病，血管全通了，不用搭桥，你
回去吧。唉！你怎么治的怎么搞的？病人说，只用了一个偏方：10 克黑木耳，1 两瘦
肉，3 片姜，5 枚大枣，6 碗水，文褒成 2 碗水，给点味精，给点盐，每天吃一回，
45 天，血栓都化了。这是他给我的一个偏方，虽然我没看见他的片子，但他这个事
肯定有。总之，黑木耳是经过科学证明能降低血粘度，黑木耳 5 克到 10 克就行了。
合理膳食就是两句话、十个字：一、二、三、四、五，红、黄、绿、白、黑。
