Does Green Tea Help Cure Amyloidosis?

October 05, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
In the September issue of Blood: Journal of the American Society of Hematology a scientific letter appeared about the possible effectiveness of green tea in curing amyloidosis, a medical condition in which amyloid proteins are abnormally deposited in organs and tissues of the body.

The author, Werner Hunstein, a professor emeritus of hematology, was himself diagnosed with amyloidosis in 2001. That he managed to recover his strength and go back to normal in his daily life, Hunstein attributes to green tea. When he began to drink about two liters of green tea per day, his condition improved; the deposition of amyloid proteins was stopped, and his heart resumed beating more strongly.

In a letter to Teekampagne, Boston Tea Campaign’s parent company, Professor Hunstein revealed that the green tea he drank was Teekampagne’s Darjeeling Green Tea.
