My husband is off blood pressure and diabetes meds. And he lowered his LDL over 70 points in 12 weeks having oat bran for breakfast every morning. It is oat bran...not oatmeal that we eat. It is a super food.

I eat oatmeal almost every morning and my cholesterol has only gone up a little, but has not gone down at all.

My husband ate oatmeal every morning for a year and lowered his cholesterol. So I started doing the same with the same result.

I used the liquid oats to help with nicotine withdrawal and it worked great. I have smoked for 10 years and when I quit I was smoking one pack a day.

Used 2 parts wild oats, 2 pts Hawthorne,1 pt dandelion, 1 pt garlic and 3 caps scullcap along with healthier diet and moderate exercise. Slowly stopped taking HBP medicine, Micardis 40. My blood pressure is 120 over 75 or lower consistently. Never thought I'd ever get off Micardis. Lost job and insurance. Was forced to take action. Cost of herbs was $32.00 which has lasted for several months versus $81.00 month for Rx. Wild Oats is a part of my treatment.

I am 57 yrs old and started taking rolled oats daily in the morning for about 6 weeks (5 tbls soaked in water overnight) and experienced the following symptoms: bowel movement incresed to 3x daily after 2 weeks have slight pain at the bone joint in the buttock on one side later develop phalange pain in the left thumb followed by tenderness in the right outer foot. I have stopped taking the oats for 4 days and the effects are subsiding. Personal observation: While oats is good, best not to over consume people above 55 yrs I am not sure if the overnight soaking in water created more gas in the stomach or an establish side effect of oats, I will go back to it perhaps not daily but every other day blood pressure has been better but not sure if it is due to oats as I am taking low dosage of statin( 1/2 tab crestor) and hypertension drug (olmetec 10 mg) Read More Read Less
