| China hands these U.S. companies a "blank check" A handful of small American oil and gas players have something the People's Republic desperately needs... And they're willing to pay as much as $2 trillion to get it. Only energy insider Dr. Kent Moors knows what it is - and which U.S. companies could hand you up to 25 times your money in 13 months as China pays out the nose for it. Dr. Moors' just-released special presentation has all the details here. When readers learned that they could remedy high blood pressure with an under-appreciated grocery store staple... they were surprised and excited. Since so many wrote in to express their thanks for this little-known blood pressure "treatment," I wanted to make sure you had the chance to see it. Read on below to discover this drug-free solution... and find out the answer to our readers' most common questions about this underground remedy. Common Drugs Make Blood Pressure Problems Worse; New research shows that the most commonly used drugs for lowering blood pressure actually raise it. That's right: the drugs that most hypertension patients count on are actually putting them in harm's way. Fortunately, another brand new study confirms that one simple, natural remedy can drastically lower your blood pressure in just three hours. Best Meds Elevate Blood Pressure Research shows that the most commonly prescribed drugs for hypertension are making the problem worse. The study - published just this week in the American Journal of Hypertension - followed the progress of 945 patients over 17 years. The patients were given one of two antihypertensive drugs. One was a calcium channel blocker that lowers blood volume. The other was a beta blocker, or ACE inhibitor. These are often called "R" drugs, which lower levels of renin. Renin is an enzyme secreted by the kidneys that plays a key role in maintaining blood pressure. The study showed that the drugs spiked blood pressure. The highest spikes were found in patients with low renin levels who were taking the R drugs. Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University say doctors are too quick to use a one-drug-treats-all option. They suggest that physicians need to be careful when choosing treatments for their patients. "Every clinician knows that there's a variation in response to antihypertensive treatment," says study author Michael Alderman, MD, the former president of the American Society of Hypertension. "Some patients will have an elevation in blood pressure." Until now, this has been blamed on patients not taking their drugs. Other times doctors put it down to random events. "But this data shows that it's not a random event," he says. "It's due to a mismatch between the patients' renin status and the drug." Are you feeding your family cancer? If you or anyone in your family eats oranges, apples or any other fruit (or vegetables), then listen to this. When analyzed, pesticides linked to cancer were found on:
And the danger doesn't stop with fruits and veggies. If you don't know what to look for, you could be filling your fridge (and your kid's lunchbox) with dangerous chemicals. Root Remedy Offers Hope The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say one in three Americans over the age of 20 has hypertension. Over 40 million people wind up in hospital each year with it. According to the American Heart Association, hypertension increases the risk for:
While doctors are prescribing drugs that make the problem worse, one simple root can make it better. A brand new UK study - published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension - says beetroot juice significantly lowers high blood pressure. The study was conducted by the famous Queen Mary's William Harvey Research Institute and headed up by Professor Amrita Ahluwalia. It's the same institute that discovered that aspirin prevents heart attacks and strokes. Researchers gave beetroot juice to healthy volunteers. They compared their blood pressure responses and the biochemical changes in their circulation. What they found was very good news indeed for people with hypertension. Not only does beetroot juice lower blood pressure... it does so quickly. Professor Ahluwalia found that patients lowered their blood pressure within three hours of drinking their daily dose! And the effects last for 24 hours. The best thing is that the root works best for those who need it most. Researchers found that "the higher the blood pressure, the greater the decrease." That's good news for a lot of people. As in the US, one in three adults in the UK suffers from hypertension. The Blood Pressure Association says over 30 percent of sufferers don't even know they have it. That's too bad: it results in over 350 "preventable" strokes or heart attacks every day. Researchers also tested a second group of patients with daily nitrate tablets. They too were able to lower their blood pressure. It's possible that the high nitrate content in beetroot is one of the reasons it's so effective in lowering blood pressure... and why the research group believe it's about to become the "next super food." "Beeting" the Competition Beetroot is rich in antioxidants. It contains iron, boron, and folic acid. It also contains betanene, which is why it has such a vibrant color. Betanene is a super antioxidant; it's more potent than polyphenols. Polyphenols are believed to be reason that diets rich in leafy vegetables lower blood pressure. Research member Professor Ben Benjamin says that beetroot absorbs and stores super high levels of nitrate. These are found in soil and our bodies use them in the battle against blood pressure. "When nitrate is present in saliva, bacteria on the tongue converts it into nitrite," he says. "When the nitrite is swallowed, it's converted into nitric oxide." And that is a chemical produced by our blood vessels to help them relax and lower blood pressure. "Increasing the levels of nitrate with beetroot juice increases this effect," he says. The study also found beetroot juice works like aspirin. It prevents blood clots and protects the lining of blood vessels. True Stories of Success "Currently, treatment for high blood pressure involves a cocktail of aspirin, statins, beta blockers, and angiotensin converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors," says Professor Benjamin. "People don't like taking all the tablets. They don't feel well and the treatment is lifelong." But he says beetroot is a healthy and safe alternative to all that. And people are already putting it to the test. Sixty-year-old David Kelsall from Stoke-on-Trent, England was amazed by the results. "I discovered my blood pressure was high when my doctor was testing for something else," he says. "It was not life-threatening but I was anxious to do something about it." He was considering drugs when he read the reports about beetroot juice. "I drank three bottles of it a week," he says. "Less than four weeks [later], my blood pressure had already leveled out. Now, a few months later, it is under control and normal. I am still drinking the juice, and I'm going to continue doing so. It may not help everyone, but it's helped me." Getting Beetroot into Your Diet Beetroot has a medium glycemic index score of 64... but this doesn't need to be a problem. That's because you only need to have a very small amount of beetroot juice to lower your blood pressure. "We found that only a small amount of juice is needed - just 250ml - to have this effect," says Professor Ahluwalia. Dr. Al Sears says beetroot is better at beating blood pressure problems than any drug. Here is one simple recipe that he suggests for getting it into your diet. To make this recipe simply take:
Chop each of the vegetables up, drop 'em in your juicer, blend, and drink. It's as simple as that! Editor's Note: Since we first published this story, there's been plenty of interest in beetroot from our readers. Most readers wanted to know how they could identify it and where they could get it. Beetroot is deep red in color... bordering on purple. In shape it looks like a cross between a parsnip and turnip. It's a common root over here in the U.S. and in the U.K. It's also known as the table beet, garden beet, red beet, or simply as beets... In the U.S. you buy beetroot in regular grocery stores. It's available both as fresh produce or pickled in jars. Beetroot scores low-to-medium on the glycemic index so it's okay for people who have diabetes as well as high blood pressure. Beetroot is one great option for lowering blood pressure. But there are plenty of other ways of managing your blood pressure too. We've just finished an in-depth report on the subject. In it, we look at one specific solution that may help you manage your blood pressure.
