My miracle elixir that helps me manage diabetes and hypertension and tastes great to boot!
As some of you know, I had a stroke over Thanksgiving weekend that led me to learn I had type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

I left the hospital with two types of insulin injections, an ace inhibitor and cholesterol medication. My endocrinologist later prescribed metformin, which I was to take along with the insulin shots.

I was on a mission to find natural ways to manage my diagnosis and get off of anything that comes from the pharmaceutical companies.

A combination of metformin and diet changes (no sugar, few carbs) led me to cut out the insulin injections.

I then learned that metformin comes from a plant called Goats Rue. So I ordered some Goats Rue tea, but it had no impact.

I started researching what tea might help control high blood pressure, and I found about 6 that seemed like they might help.

I tried the first three teas that arrived, and they worked for lowering both blood pressure *and* blood sugar!

Cut to about a week later and I am no longer taking any pharmaceuticals, my blood sugar levels are good, and my blood pressure is normal.

Here is the tea blend. This makes 10 cups.

2 tablespoon of Honey Bush tea (loose leaf tea)
2 tablespoon of Holy Basil (tulsi) tea (loose leaf tea)
1.5 tablespoons of Hibiscus petal tea (whole petals)
2 teaspoon of beet juice powder (optional)
3+ tablespoons of Monk Fruit sweetener (optional)
3 teaspoons of lemon juice (optional)

Preparation:
Not really sure. I have a Ninja hot cold brew system that makes a 10 cup pot of tea. I haven't tried anything else yet. But after steeping it somehow, you would add the lemon juice, beet juice powder and sweetener.

I drink it on ice because it tastes like juice, and juice should be cold. I've been drinking about 26oz with or just after meals. When I tried drinking it before a meal (about an hour or two prior) it didn't seem to work against the glucose spike from the meal. But blood pressure remained good regardless of when I took it.

If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, this may help you manage it, as it did for me. But be careful if you're taking medications along with this tea. It could potentially lower both your blood pressure and blood sugar to dangerous levels. Of course, talk to your doctor about it first.

How does it taste? It's a little reminiscent of cranberry + carrot juice, with a kind of grassy flavor. It absolutely tastes like a juice, but has its own flavor. It doesn't taste like leaves from your backyard like most tea packets do.

Some additional benefits: high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, acts as an appetite suppressant, helps woman regulate their menstrual cycle, reduces cholesterol

Some risks: pregnant/breastfeeding women shouldn't take it; has potential to lower blood pressure and blood sugar too much when used with medication; if the monk fruit sweetener has erithrytol in it, it will induce diarrhea.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72051876


The pharmaceutical companies do this kind of research, synthesis and patent it, then sell it to us in pill form, with a whole regiment of negative side effects, including overdose and death potential.

This is why you don't see human studies on natural remedies. Natural remedies don't keep you sick and don't cause as many negative side effects that then need to be treated with more medications.

I was pretty thrilled to find that this elixir I invented works so well!

How do you know it works? Just because your daily glucose numbers went down do not mean your A1C did. This is all that matters.

OP, I would suggest you looking into Metabolic Syndrome. I believe these (htn and diabetes) are related and this is really a common illness that many folks have because of the nutrient poor foods that even fresh vegetables cant replace anymore.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67904014


I will be ordering an A1C kit soon and check it in 3 months.

But I have been taking glucose measurements multiple times a day when taking this tea. It is working, better than metformin in fact.

When I had the tea along with metformin, my blood sugar dropped to 80, which scared me a bit. Thought I would go hypoglycemic. But it never went below 80.

What's crazy is my heart would beat out of my chest even on the blood pressure medications, especially after eating.

With my tea, that's no longer the case. No heart palpitations either.

Inflammation is the underlying cause for the problems I was diagnosed with. My tea, plus some other vitamins I'm taking seem to have reversed all of the symptoms.

Any opinion on whether it would help with Type 1 ("juvenile") diabetes? It's a completely different disease, but shares some similar details like insulin and blood sugar issues.

Hey thanks for sharing. I’ll take note in case at some point.

Also, table salt, sodium chloride, is hard on your blood pressure and it is in all the fast foods and frozen and canned foods. It is also a RAT poison in about 100 grams. An adult should not have more than 1500mgs to 2300mg of salt per day. Most folks are getting way too much table salt.

Not all salt is bad. Some kinds is good for you, like mineral salt.

I use Redmonds Real Salt.

The book to get for more info on mineral salt for good blood pressure is

Salt Your Way to Health, by Dr David Brownstein.



Thanks again for sharing and Hugs to you for feeling better.

thanks and bookmarked. I was taking lemon grass to lower my cholesterol and after 2 years it seems to have stopped working.
