I got this from a home remedies Brazilian book, it has a home remedie for just about everything. I had gone to the Dr. and was told I had my cholesterol a little high. I had read about this remedie and had my doubts about it. But I had nothing to lose,did the treatment for 15 days as recomended, and then did blood testes. You know what it worked and I lost 2 kilos. So if you have your Cholesterol high go ahead and give it a try it certainly won't hurt you. Oh yes DO NOT use a plastic container, use a glass or a ceramic jug to do this in.
