I make my tea pretty strong: 1/4 to somewhat less than 8 cups water, but then I dilute the tea about half when I pour it into my cup for heating.

iHerb prolly has loose hibiscus tea as well; I get my Frontier brand of organic cinnamon sticks for our coffee from there. I've used several different kinds of elderberry syrup from the cheap kind made with glycerol to the organic kind in agave syrup. It doesn't seem to matter which I use, and since taste doesn't mean much to me I use the cheapest kind made with glycerol. I sweeten it with Truvia which is a blend of erythritol, sugar, and stevia. (It's a strong sweetener so 1 t will do for a large cup).

Hope this gives you the right info!

It's interesting that you popped this up bc it bears on one of my recently discovered health issues- abnormal calcifications in my lungs.

LUNGS???
WTH????

Well, that, and one of my heart valves developed calcification when it hadn't been there three months before.

Reviewing this last night, recalled a few things I had not spelled out.

Sleeping comprises roughly 1/3 of our lives, each day. It is better to have less calories or carbs being processed during this low metabolism period than to have more calories or carbs.


Several times it is posted in this thread that High Blood Pressure causes hardening of the arteries. I had thought that the opposite cause and effect relationship existed.
Hardening of the arteries, inflexibility of the arterial wall (and capillaries) would logically cause HBP whenever the heart starts pumping faster. The whole point of "cardio" exercise is to pump the blood enough to dilate, flex, change diameter, of all the arteries and veins, to keep them from becoming inflexible.

How is HBP supposed to "cause' hardening of the arteries? Of any type? Unless some believe High Pressure causes rips, tears, breaches in the arterial walls of healthy, flexible, unhardened arteries? I don't see this making any sense.
Can somebody explain how this cause-effect relationship is accurate? It seems backwards.
