Myrrh is a spice, one of the three items said to be given to the newborn Jesus Christ (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) used to prepare bodies for burial in that time.

Myrrh capsules are very inexpensive, especially compared to Lipitor, or other cholesterol lowering drugs. I'm thrilled to hear about cinnamon's effects on diabetes...and I hope some more good studies to determine doses, etc. are conducted.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if a senior citizen with high cholesterol, diabetes and risk of heart disease could be treated with aspirin, cinnamon, and myrrh, instead of the current very expensive med?

At 42 I am not a 'senior citizen', but I do have really nasty heart disease. I am going to try the Myrrh for a while- and see what it does to my cholesterol.

There is a verse in the Bible that says that our food will be our medicine, and our medicine our food.

Why can't they?

Thank you for this information. I was recently put on Lovastatin and took myself off of it in just three weeks because of the side effects. I told the doctor that I would do other things but I would NOT take that medication. Is myrrh ever used to spice foods? Can you find it as a cooking spice?
