Obama’s DeathCare will chase the good physicians to Costa Rica and Panama. We will be left with supposed doctors from third-world nations with little or no medical training. You will get filthy doctor BahBah who speaks gibberish.

I figured since it comes out of the UK, it would be a pressure relief valve like you have on your water heater...

And puts down his gourd rattle, takes off his fierce painted mask, stops dancing, and sadly shakes his head...

ALL these UK Medical Advance stories are just bullsh1t, and a week later fade and are never heard of again.

They are just released to make the subjects feel as though something is being done about the NHS.

If they did not release this Science Fiction every week, the people would finally and properly revolt, gunless or not.

Does this “revolutionary operation” reduce blood pressure to... ah... zero over zero? Just asking.

Black Americans have a terribly high rate of high blood pressure. But the reason may be an odd one.

Geologically, the continent of Africa is very old. Most of the heavy metals and salts have been leeched from the topsoil. Over hundreds of generations, this has likely resulted in black Africans becoming sensitive to both heavy metals and salts.

However, geologically speaking, North America and Europe are quite young, and our topsoil is loaded with both heavy metals and salts. So both our water and our food have ample proportions of these. And since black Americans are relatively newcomers, they are getting a relative “horse dose” of both heavy metals and salts, that could be shrugged off by those of European ancestry.

So it is not surprising that they are getting health problems related to those things.

That being said, just treating their high blood pressure may not be enough, because they are still getting far more heavy metals and salts than they need. So if their high blood pressure is treated, likely this overdose will manifest itself in some other health problem.

Whole lotta bad science in this article. Some people just can’t get past the basic symptoms. High blood pressure may have a legitimate function. One of the undiagnosed conditions present in the cascade of metabolic syndrome and systemic inflammation is the reduction of the fine capillary throughput. Since most of us remain upright during the daytime, the heart is required to elevate blood presure in order to get the minimal amounts blood circulation through the big toes. We see the significance of this phenomenon when you consider the fact that diabetics (who have considerable circulatory impairment and elevated blood pressure) have more muscle mass and more fat mass in their upper bodies when compared to “normals”.

My cure was to lose 25 pds and walk 1 hour a day.
