Cinnamon update

Wearing my lab coat

It was just about one year ago that I posted the article about cinnamon possibly lowering cholesterols, and fighting diabetes. The immediate reason for my interest was that Mother Superior had been put on medicine for high cholesterol. The medicine made her sick. I was suspected of being a Type II diabetic and sent for blood work that I skipped. The effects of cinnamon on me were almost immediate, and noticeable in many ways. When I did later have my blood tested, the results were clean. Mother Superior, on the other hand, pussy-footed around with going back to the cardiologist who put her on the cholesterol meds. She finally had her blood tested last week, and just got the lab results back. Her cholesterols dropped 90 points, and back into the normal zone.  Her bad cholesterol dropped to within 2 points of the normal zone. In short, and for what it's worth,  cinnamon works. I make her breakfast every day, and always put  a high dose, ¼ tsp, into her morning banana-cranberry juice smoothie, along with a slug of  Cal Mag Fizz (calcium). About the same time we also began taking daily doses of flax seed and salmon oil, which also may have helped.
