Unclog Your Arteries Elixr

A woman where I work shared this recipe for unclogging your arteries, hopefully helping someone who might of other wise had to go under the knife for ~BY PASS surgery~.

CAD happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscle become hardened and narrowed. This is due to the buildup of cholesterol and other material, called plaque, on their inner walls. As the buildup grows, less blood can flow through the arteries. As a result, the heart muscle can't get the blood or oxygen it needs. This can lead to chest pain (angina) or a heart attack. Most heart attacks happen when a blood clot suddenly cuts off the hearts' blood supply, causing permanent heart damage.

Over time, CAD can also weaken the heart muscle and contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias. Heart failure means the heart can't pump blood well to the rest of the body. Arrhythmias are changes in the normal beating rhythm of the heart.

Equal parts Jalapeno peppers, fresh garlic, fresh ginger root. ( she said about 1/2 cup each)
and enough Braggs vinegar to fill a qt jar. She told me that she uses apple cider vinegar as it is a lot cheaper.

Process all the above in a blender until pureed and put in fridge untill used.
Take 1 TBLS of mixture each day and she said you will need a chaser. Taste bad.

Immune Boosting Tonic

This is one of the most delicious tinctures imaginable, with a strong berry flavor that's hard to resist. I use this tried-and-true stand-by whenever there are a lot of people getting sick around me, and when I travel during the winter. It can be used at the first onset of a cold or flu, during the active phase, and on through the tail end of the illness.
