Ask the Dietician at Iowa Avenue posted an article in June about the benefits of Hemp Oil. After reading this article and doing some internet investigation, I decided to give this magical elixir a try. Last week I got the results on my latest round of lab tests. Since June 12 my total cholesterol has dropped from 296 to 181, my triglycerides have dropped from 880 to 194, and my total cholesterol to HDL ratio has dropped from 8.2 to 4.1 (4.0 or less is considered good). I get my capsules out of Canada from HempNutts.com (Hempillennium.com). I didn’t make any other significant changes to diet or medication.

Have you tried the hemp flour? It doesn’t seem to affect the taste much, but you get some really bright green bread.

Neat! It’ll go nicely with my green eggs

Those numbers are really great! Good for you! I’m interested to see the long term results, too.
I hate to ask – but given your recent nasty flare – is it possible that the hemp oil is upsetting something?

I don’t think so. I’ve been using the hemp oil for 3 months, so I think it would have shown up as a cause much earlier. I’m really afraid that a lot of the cause of my nasty flare was good old garden variety stress.

Well that’s good to hear. Keep us updated! I don’t know that I’ll try it yet (with the upcoming potential maybe it’ll happen surgery) but I’d sure consider it.
