I received an interesting report from Agora Health Ltd. that you can read at the following url:
I copy below some of the more interesting points:
The high blood pressure epidemic that mainstream medicine is failing to curb for 70% of patients
More than 52,000 Americans die from complications related to high blood pressure every year. Between 1993 and 2004 the rate of death from high blood pressure rose nearly 30 percent . . . . and it’s still rising.
On a worldwide scale the numbers are even more staggering – 7.6 million people die every year as a result of high blood pressure.
Here, in the UK, more than 16 million people suffer from high blood pressure. And according to the American Heart Association, one in three adults over the age of 20 – that’s about 65 million Americans – now have high blood pressure, affecting young and old alike.
About 25 million of them regularly take at least one prescription drug to control it.
So, you can already start to get a picture of how big the ‘blood pressure’ industry is for the phamaceutical companies.
But, according to a growing body of research, the current mainstream pharmaceutical approach is failing miserably.
A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine reports that only about 30 percent of those being treated for hypertension are “well controlled.” The other 70 percent are still in a danger zone, despite regular treatment with drugs and regular checkups with their doctors.
These are shocking statistics, and when I first discovered the true scale of the problem, I became determined that my name wouldn’t get added to these statistics.
I realized that I had to do something about it quickly or I risked losing everything . . .
A centuries-old secret now made even better using
21st Century Science
As I said earlier, I was one of the lucky ones, because it was through my contacts at the Health Sciences Institute that I was first alerted to a remarkable natural advance developed from ancient Chinese and Ayurvedic remedies stretching back thousands of years.
The Health Sciences Institute focuses most of their research on natural treatments that are largely overlooked by the medical mainstream and the pharmaceutical companies . . . their experts get to hear about groundbreaking new medicines long before they make national headlines.
And that’s where I first heard about the work of Dr Stacey Miller . . .
Dr Miller is a Florida-based, naturopathic doctor, who after years of meticulous study of rare and unusual herbs used in ancient Chinese and Tibetan cultures had formulated a unique combination of four plant extracts:
Holly Leaf (Ilex aquifolium) – For centuries now, holly leaf has been used as a tea in the mountains of southern China. But it is only recently that the therapeutic effect that this holly leaf can have on high blood pressure has come to the attention of modern medical science. One pharmacological study found that the herb could enhance overall blood circulation by expanding blood vessels, while also helping to diminish cholesterol. What’s more, holly leaf is a mood elevator — many people who take Alistrol notice a feeling of calm wash over them.
Daikon Seed Extract (Raphanus sativus) – ‘Daikon’ (meaning, in Japanese, ‘large root’) is a large, mild radish much esteemed in Asian cuisine, often served grated with sushi and sashimi. And, in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, radish seed is recognized as a wonderful digestive.But modern medicine has also demonstrated that Daikon seed can help normalize blood pressure and cholesterol while improving overall cardiovascular health. Its main activity, according to the Chinese, is its ability to enhance a person’s “vital energy circulation.”
Chinese Hawthorn Fruit (Crataegus pinnatifida) – Pharmacological studies indicate that Chinese hawthorn fruit – especially the premium hawthorn found only in Alistrol - can improve heart function, repair heart-muscle damage, enhance blood flow by dilating heart vessels, reduce arrhythmia, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.In a recent study conducted by Reading University in the UK, scientists discovered that a daily dose of hawthorn extract taken over a 16 week period was effective in lowering blood pressure for diabetic patients.
Garlic Extract – an important ingredient that has been shown to help prevent heart disease, high cholesterol and has many other cardiovascular benefits.
Garlic not only helps reduce blood pressure, but also reduces the stickiness of the blood inside the arteries – thereby helpin to prevent the blood from clotting, which could lead to heart attack or stroke.
In another study, conducted by the Department of Biological Sciences at Kuwait University, garlic was found to influence the concentration of nitric oxide in the blood – a substance that can help reduce blood pressure by widening the arteries.
But, better still, Dr. Miller’s natural compound had even undergone a small, double-blind, placebo controlled study. It confirmed to me that these simple herbs could help
