People used to often ask, “Spot of tea?” Inviting someone to relax for a while by sipping tea. Did you know? Two billion cups of tea are drunk each day worldwide, second only to water. Tea has been produced and consumed for over 4,000 years. For centuries, folks sipped tea to relax.
you aren't looking to get true full on chelation from tea sipping, just gentle. chelation that is a treatment has to have more umph for sure. but anything you do regularly does gently add up. dlb
It was seriously suggested that I stop drinking black tea when I was very sick with Lyme. I was anxiety-ridden, trembled non-stop, my brain functioning was badly effected, and coffee was already off the table (for fear that it would further contribute to my nervous condition). Since several cups of black tea is one of the things that brings joy to every day, with hindsight I am sure that stopping my daily drinks only contributed to the awful feelings of destabilization. I discovered that, contrary to what was said, daily tea had a calming effect on my neurology & nervous system in general, rather than further 'revving' me up -- thus, the prevailing line of thought for the last long while regarding the effects of black tea has in fact been 'wrong'. Thank you Dr. B for this most excellent piece of information - my metabolism agrees with the finding that we 'sip tea to relax'!
Over my long career it seems to me that so many try to pull us off our gut sense of knowing what is right for us and rather us conform to the blowing trends... and it seems if we could learn to go within and to think for ourselves is not all of a bad thing, we may have had a lighter time of it. boy the tincture of time reveals this often, more than those that try to bend history would care to admit. dlb
I'm an avid green tea drinker. 2-3 cups a day of Japanese Sencha is my go to.
Green tea makes me feel SO good. No question about it.
I've even taken it into the gym with me for a little boost.
Love learning more benefits of it!
Plus green & black tea r highest in polyphenols - excellent for people who have hemochromatosis
green tea crosses the blood brain barrier and in rabbit models, can chelate out heavy metals, iron, and possibly even tau fibers. dlb
Caveat is that humans would have to drink around 10 cups of green tea to get chelating effects

That's the honest truth, Dr. B. Right there with you.
