Does High Blood Pressure Cause Heart Disease?

Kathleen talks about blood pressure and a product to boost your immune system at this time of the year when we are more susceptible to colds and flu.  Peter tells you about this week’s guest, guests who will be on the show over the next three weeks, and this week’s featured author

Kathleen’s Deep Dive

Kathleen uncovers a report that challenges the assumption that high blood pressure causes heart disease. In an article by Dr. Mercola, she comments that a large trial indicated that medications to reduce moderately high blood pressure had a slight effect on reducing the incidence of strokes, but no discernible effect on reducing heart attacks.

Blood pressure levels of 158/98 for men and 166/59 for women were considered moderately high. Lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 90 is considered dangerous.

One of the side effects of blood pressure medications in those over 70, is fainting with a risk of falling resulting in serious injury or even death.

This Week’s Health Tip

With the advent of colder weather increasing the risk of colds and flu in the northern hemisphere, Kathleen recommends boosting the immune system. The Lymph Drainage formulas support healthy lymphatic tissues and nodes throughout the body. The lymphatic system is an integral part of the immune system, making this formula an immune supplement as well.

Lymph Drainage Super Mover (formerly #3) is a very strong lymphatic mover. The powerful combination of poke and bloodroot stimulates the flow of all liquids in the body: blood, urine, lymph, bile and excrement are all stimulated by these herbs and blockages move like boulders in a flash flood. For this reason, Lymph Drainage Super Mover is not recommended for long-term use.

Dr. Morse recommends including a Lymph Drainage Formula in all detox protocols to ensure that the lymphatic system, what he refers to as the body’s sewage system, remains fluid to promote the proper removal of waste from the body.

Dr. Morse suggests pairing this formula with one of the Kidney’s & Bladder formulas to assist with proper filtration and elimination of Lymphatic waste.
