Guest guest Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 LOL - Good grief!! Whatever you do in an open forum - you may not want to make the statement: " it makes my blood boil! " as you may be visited by someone who thinks your blood pressure may be spiked. ROF(Almost)LMAO..... 1. High Blood Pressure Vaccine Developed British researchers have developed a vaccine to control high blood pressure, a major cause of death in both Great Britain and the United States. The vaccine, which has already been tested in humans, will undergo further tests before it hits the market, hopefully within five years. The new vaccine appears to cause few side effects apart from brief, flu-like symptoms in about 10 percent of volunteers. The shot uses a protein found in limpets (a type of mollusk) which attacks angiotensin, a hormone created in the liver that narrows arteries and elevates blood pressure. The vaccine, which would require three shots initially and then a booster every six months, would make it easier for people to control their blood pressure. Currently, patients have to remember to take high blood pressure pills which often cause side effects. “If you have to take blood pressure tablets, you have to take them for the rest of your life and some people find that difficult,” said professor Graham MacGregor of Britain’s Blood Pressure Association. “Finding other ways and better ways of trying to lower blood pressure without side effects would be very much welcome.” NewsMax’s Dr. Blaylock, author of The Blaylock Wellness Report, reveals these “other, better” ways in his special report, Eliminate Hypertension Forever. The Associated Press reported last week that high blood pressure is now a world epidemic, with one in seven people suffering from the malady. " Even in the U.S., the majority of people with high blood pressure are not treated adequately, " Dr. Sidney of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who advises the World Heart Federation, told the AP. Dr. Blaylock concurs, adding that as many as one in six Americans may have what’s called pre-hypertension, meaning that one in three Americans is at risk for some sort of blood pressure problem. “We know that hypertension is present in 75 percent of all stroke victims and 50 percent of all people who die of first-time heart attacks,” he adds. “Kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke, eye disorders, advanced atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure, aneurysms, and a host of other serious disturbances are related to hypertension.” What can you do right now about the risk of heart problems? Dr. Blaylock warns that “lowering blood pressure with powerful medications helps, but this does not reverse the condition that caused the high blood pressure in the first place: the metabolic syndrome and the high insulin levels associated with it.” For advice on reversing this condition, go here for this special report today.
