The high blood pressure epidemic that
mainstream medicine is failing to curb for 70% of patients
Read these are shocking statistics....
On a worldwide scale the numbers are staggering - 7.6 million people die
every year as a result of high blood pressure.
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. 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.
Millions take at least
one prescription drug to control it. So, you can already start to get a
picture of how big the 'blood pressure' business is
for the pharmaceutical companies.
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.
The ‘silent killer’ that goes undetected in 33% of sufferers
They call it "the silent killer" because so many people have high blood
pressure and they don't even know it because it never shows any symptoms - until it's too late.
Did you know that a mere 10 point rise in blood pressure can lead to a
doubling in risk of a heart attack or stroke?
A blood pressure of 160/99 makes you . . .
- 3 times more likely to develop coronary heart disease
- 6 times more likely to develop congestive heart failure
- 7 times more likely to have a stroke
- 4 times more likely suffer kidney damage . . .

What Is High Blood Pressure (HBP) And Why Is It Dangerous?
Blood pressure is the force your blood exerts on your arteries as it flows
through your body. If you have high blood pressure it means that your blood is exerting too much force on
your arteries and is making your heart's job -
pumping blood more difficult than it should be.
Your heart is a powerful and efficient muscle, but if it's forced to work
too hard for too long it can enlarge, wear out or fail, causing a heart
attack, stroke, aneurysm... or an early death.
When you have your blood pressure taken, you're given two numbers referred
to as your Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure.
Your Systolic blood pressure is the measurement of the pressure your blood
exerts on your arteries when your heart beats, while your Diastolic blood pressure is the measurement of
the pressure your blood exerts on your arteries when your heart is at rest.
What's The Difference Between Normal
Blood
Pressure and High Blood Pressure?
For an average adult
(Systolic / Diastolic):
|
Normal
|
<120 / <80
|
|
Pre-Hypertension
|
120 - 39 / 80 - 99
|
|
Stage One Hypertension
|
140 -159 / 90 - 99
|
|
Stage Two Hypertension
|
160+ / 100+
|
If your blood pressure
consistently reads in the ‘Hypertension’ or ‘Pre-Hypertension’
categories, then you need to seek immediate advice.

Conventional drugs help lower your blood pressure...but at what price?
There are a number of drugs that fall under this category. They include
Beta Blockers
, which lower your heart rate;
vasodilators
(such as
Calcium Channel Blockers
and
ACE Inhibitors
), which widen your blood vessels; and
Diuretics
(water tablets), which reduce the volume of your blood by removing
water from your body.
Following a diagnosis of high blood pressure (usually after it
has been found to be high on three separate occasions), your doctor will probably
prescribe an anti-hypertensive drug. Unfortunately these drugs all come with unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side
effects, which are often worse than the problem they’re supposedly treating.
Diuretics
basically dehydrate your body - that is, they remove fluid from your
body by way of the kidneys. This may cause a drop in blood pressure, but just take a look at the list of side effects...
Those fluids also contain many vital minerals, such as potassium, sodium,
magnesium and calcium, and getting rid of them will cause electrolyte imbalances (loss of minerals) in your body.
But electrolyte imbalance is only the beginning. Other problems caused by
diuretics include cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heart beat), gout, kidney damage or failure, uraemia, hyperglycaemia leading to diabetes,
abnormal cholesterol, anaemia, photosensitivity, indigestion, headaches, visual disturbances and impotence.
Beta Blockers
reduce the force of the heart's contractions. Basically, the heartbeat slows in
reaction to the drug, and that lowers your blood pressure. So keep in mind that you're dealing with a dangerous cardiac drug,
not just 'blood pressure medicine'.
Your doctor probably didn't dwell on this significant fact, but you need to know the truth.
OK, so being cardioactive drugs, what might you expect in the way of side
effects from beta blockers? You've got it - signs of serious heart disease. You may experience any or all of the following symptoms:
congestive heart failure, which will lead to pulmonary oedema, a good old-fashioned heart attack, or arrhythmia. And, of course, all of these
irregularities can be fatal.
|
There's also a strong possibility that you'll experience a stroke, which could
cause partial paralysis or death. And
asthmatics
should never take beta blockers
, since they may trigger life-threatening airway spasms.
Anti-hypertension drugs are waging chemical warfare on your body
ACE Inhibitors
wage a sort of chemical warfare attack in your body. They lower blood pressure by
blocking the release of angiotensin. Your body releases this molecule in order to raise your blood pressure.
The body's chemical regulatory mechanisms do things for a reason; usually
high blood pressure is a protective mechanism designed to maintain your 'homeostasis', your biological balance in the turbulent world inside
your body. The ACE inhibitors lower blood pressure by counteracting this blood pressure raising agent.
Calcium
Channel Blockers are, by far, the worst of the bunch. And, of course, they're among the most widely
prescribed drugs in the modern world. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs)
block the movement of calcium across cell membranes.
This
suppresses muscular contraction, which dilates the arteries and reduces
resistance to blood flow. The doctor sees a reduction in your blood
pressure and proclaims it medical magic: you take the little pills,
your pressure comes down, and the doctor is a genius.
I wish it were that simple, but what else happens? Your heart
feels like a fish flopping around in a bucket. You feel like you are
going to faint, especially if you stand up quickly. You figure you can
live with that; you just won't stand up quickly. But if going from
sitting to standing can cause you to faint, how about going from flat
on your back to standing?
This sudden drop in blood pressure can cause a stroke, and off to the
emergency ward you go. But the calcium channel blocker won't take any
of the blame: after all, your doctor prescribed it to you to prevent a
stroke brought on by high blood pressure.
The most important study to date on calcium channel blockers is the Wake Forest University School of
Medicine research that was presented at an international cardiology
meeting in Amsterdam in 2000.
For example, "Calcium Channel Blockers lead to about 40,000 'unnecessary or
excess' heart attacks in the US each year and about 85,000 such disasters worldwide", said Dr
Marco Pahor, the professor of medicine at Wake Forest University School
of Medicine in the US who headed the research project.
According to the report, these widely used drugs may be responsible for an
excessive number of heart attacks and cases of heart failure. It
appears that they don't even prevent the cardiovascular complications
of high blood pressure. In fact, they cause complications.
These drugs can also cause heart failure, heart attacks, gastrointestinal
bleeding, liver and kidney damage, and reduced white blood cell
count. And another common - and deadly - possibility is their
interaction with other drugs, which can lead to any of the above
disasters.
If you currently suffer from hypertension, then it’s quite
likely that you’re already taking one of these drugs without
even realizing what the full side-effects and risks may be.
But just ask yourself: Do you want to end up being dependent on drugs that
damage your kidneys and increase your risk of heart attack and stroke .
. . ?
There just has to be a better way . . .
A centuries-old secret now made even
better using
21st Century Science
And the best news of all comes
from the results of a recent double-blind, placebo controlled study
- the gold-standard of medical testing -
which had been carried out on a four-herb-compound. It confirms that
these simple herbs were producing powerful results in reducing blood pressure which was
unprecedented in a herbal formula.
Better still, these results were being achieved without any adverse side
effects – which is the holy grail that every drug company hopes to attain, yet few ever do.

Alistrol is widely used as a heart tonic, and to help regulate blood pressure. It is also used
to break down cholesterol and fat that may contribute to heart disease.
On Average Alistrol Lowers systolic blood
pressure by 10.6 points and diastolic blood pressure by 9.3 points in just weeks
|
Alistrol's ingredients are believed to protect arterial
walls from damage that can result from the buildup of plaque, and also to help the body to use oxygen more
effectively by stimulating coronary blood vessels to dilate or expand. When blood vessels are dilated, they are
carrying oxygen, blood, and nutrients throughout the body more effectively to all of the vital organs. Dilating
blood vessels also helps the heart to use minerals such as calcium; calcium in particular plays a very important role in
the biochemical processes that allow the cardiovascular system to function properly.
Alistrol is the only patented blood pressure product to have undergone
a double-blind placebo trial. No other high blood pressure
supplement can claim this….
It works by rendering arterial walls more flexible and more resistant to
accumulating plaque, and by causing blood vessels to dilate so that their capacity to carry oxygen and nutrients to
all parts of the body is increased.
Alistrol also includes bioflavonoids, which are powerful natural antioxidants.
Researchers from the University of Maine and Case Western University performed a
double-blind, placebo controlled human clinical trial to study the effects of Alistrol’s ingredients in maintaining healthy
blood pressure.
Subjects took 550 mg of Alistrol three times a day for eight weeks. Then
subjects stopped taking it for 4 weeks.
Patients in the control group took 550 mg of placebo capsules three times per
day for eight weeks. The blood pressures of each patient was measured at the end of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks.
The graphs above show how Alistrol managed to lower blood pressure over the
course of just 12 weeks. The conclusions from this study, therefore, show that Alistrol
- Lowers systolic blood pressure by 10.6 point or 8.0% on average.
- Lowers diastolic blood pressure by 9.3 point or 11.3% on average.
- Is effective for helping people manage mild to high hypertension and can
improve hypertension within 2-4 weeks.
- Is safe to use, calms the central nervous system, helps improve mood and enhances energy levels
- Helps blood pressure remain stable and within a healthy range on average for
up to a month after stopping taking Alistrol.
- Has negligible side effects
Nine out of ten patients taking Alistrol experiened a positive result after
taking Alistrol for one month.
Alistrol’s triple
‘halo’ effect keeps on protecting you
Whilst you should always seek your doctor's opinion as a
precautionary measure before taking any new treatment - especially if you are taking any
prescription drugs - the beauty of Alistrol is that it is completely safe to use with any medication that
you have been prescribed – either for hypertension or for anything else for that matter.
 Patients also often report a more relaxed and elevated mood after taking Alistrol, which in turn helps to reduce
blood pressure.
What’s more, Alistrol’s persistent effect has been clinically shown
to endure longer than just during the time that it's being taken.
This means that if you forget to take Alistrol for a few days, then your
blood pressure WON’T start creeping up again.
This triple ‘halo’ effect is a ready testament to the
repair work that Alistrol carries out every day to ensure greater elasticity of your
arteries, thereby promoting smooth, healthy and unobstructed blood flow.
(Please note: the gelatin capsules make this
product unsuitable if you are a vegetarian. However, the manufacturers are currently testing a capsule which is suitable for
vegetarians, which should be available by September 2010.
Don’t wait a minute
longer!
You owe it to yourself and your family to start lowering your blood pressure to safe levels right now
This is not a decision you can keep putting off.
Because every day you leave it is another day when you roll the dice on your
health. It’s another day the inevitable gets closer.
. .until one day there’ll be no more second chances for you.
But let’s not dwell on negative thoughts . . .
You’ve come this far, you’re committed to rewriting the story of the
rest of your life, and you know what needs to be done . . .all you need do now is put Alistrol to the test.
The recommended dose for people with low to moderate hypertension is 2
capsules twice per day. For people with much higher blood pressure, then the optimum dose is 3 capsules twice per day.

Quality comes as
standard...
Alistrol™ has
fine credentials. For instance, its patented natural formula was highlighted at the 2003 Inter-American Society for Hypertension
Conference, sponsored by the American Heart Association.
Alistrol’s specialized proprietary blend of organic herbs is manufactured under
strict quality-control standards and complies with FDA rules and regulations so you can rest assured that your final product meets the
highest quality specifications.
They harvest all of their herbs from their own farms in South East Asia.
As organic farmers, they never use synthetic fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, nor do they use genetically modified seeds.
Their environmental commitments also include harvesting wild herbs in a
responsible and sustainable manner.
The manufacturer is careful not to make the mistake made by so many herb
companies of focusing on an herb’s so-called “active compound” and disregarding its many other
chemical compounds, and the herb as a whole . . .
. . . all of
which reinforces Alistrol’s unique status as the
only
natural patented blood pressure supplement
to have passed a randomized, double-blind placebo controlled study with flying colours.
