While in many parts of the world high blood pressure is relatively rare, it is an unfortunate fact that most Americans either know of someone or are related to someone who has high blood pressure.

Each year approximately 2 million Americans discover they have high blood pressure, and, according to the American Heart Association, 45,000 Americans die annually as a direct result of the condition. And, more people have high blood pressure in the southeastern United States (which includes Florida) than any other region.

Blood pressure is defined as a measurement of the force pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body. The force and amount of blood being pumped, and the size and flexibility of the arteries determines the pressure.

People can have high blood pressure for years without knowing it, and if you don't handle high blood pressure, it can lead to problems like stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure.

In fact, untreated high blood pressure increases your chance of a stroke by seven times, and heart failure by six times. Contributing factors can include stress, diet, age, race, obesity, smoking, salt intake, excessive consumption of alcohol and a lifestyle which excludes exercise.

After much investigation and analysis, Dr. Decuypere has found an answer. Pressure Control is a special product combining Chinese herbal components and all-natural ingredients, reported by hundreds of thousands of patients to lower blood pressure within one to seven days. "I have had positive results with every one of my patients suffering from high blood pressure, and the most exciting part is that there are no side effects." Dr. Decuypere says, smiling. "I love this product, and so do my patients!"

A few years ago I made the observation that respiratory illnesses, such as asthma, bronchitis, chronic cough and allergies had been—and still are—increasing since the late 1970's. In spite of improving technology and advances in medicine and science, traditional therapies appear to produce minimal improvements at best. This phenomenon prompted me to conduct a deeper and more thorough investigation of the area to see if an explanation could be found.

Although I approached this with an open mind, with no preconceived ideas or expectations, the results of my research were undeniable.

Radiation—The Hidden Cause

Nobody talks about radiation. And why would you talk about it? It would only be a subject of discussion if it were a threat—a threat to you, or your family or loved ones. In fact, it is the biggest unidentified threat to human health on our planet at this time.

There is no doubt that radiation causes bad effects on human bodies, and that those effects are far greater than anyone has ever allowed us to believe. I am not just talking about people who work at or live near nuclear power plants, although they are, of course, at high risk of exposure. All of us, to a greater or lesser degree, have been exposed to some form of radiation. Especially at risk are children, small babies and those yet to be born.

Radiation exposure will cause a person to have a weakened immune system and related health problems throughout his entire life. This exposure causes devastating illnesses, such as cancer and degenerative diseases, but it can also cause minor ailments, such as a persistent cough, headaches, sleep disturbances and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Allergies

First, let us define some terms. The basic definition of an allergy is: The reaction that occurs when the human body rejects something which it considers harmful. What does that mean? How does that relate to you? For one person, this may mean a runny nose or itchy eyes. For another it could be a blinding headache. For still others it could mean the real cause of their present illness.

A person can be allergic to anything—even things that one would normally think of as beneficial to the body, such as nutritional supplements. The most destructive allergies can be those one would not normally suspect. Radiation has probably never been suspected of being an underlying cause of allergies and diseases until now.

Patient Health Tip Of The Month

"Your best defense against conflicting information about diet and nutrition is knowledge. Educate yourself; understand your body." -- Dr. J. D. Decuypere
