A life saved from the Big Pharmaceutical Machine!!!

Recently my 16 year old niece tells me that she has been to the doctor and that tests confirm that she has vasomotor instability. The solution she tells me, is to take 3 ibuprofen, 3 times a day, along with a steroidal medication and some extra salt tablets.

A quick search on the internet offers a different solution.

This was found on mercola.com but its original source is Circulation June 29,1999;99:3234-3240.

The article’s headline reads: Vitamin C Improves Blood Vessels Patients With Coronary Artery Disease.

It appears that there has been a study on vasomotor instability that shows that long term administration of vitamin C reverses this coronary artery disease.

The article went on to say that patients documented with this disease were given a single oral dose of 2 grams of vitamin C or placebo. Those given the vitamin C had improved flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery as assessed by high-resolution vascular ultrasound 2 hours later. They followed the patients progress, advising them to continue taking 500 mg of vitamin C daily. The effect was sustained among patients who continued taking the daily vitamin C during the 30 day trial period.

Additional information to substantiate this study refers to Circulation October 30, 2001;104 where we learned that French and German researchers found that vitamin C appears to keep cells in the blood vessel wall from dying. And suggests that vitamin C benefits blood vessel function in people with congestive heart failure. Giving further credence to the information supplied above.

This just goes to show you that with just a little investigative work, we can keep ourselves from the clutches of the Pharmaceutical companies. It also, is a wake up call in regards to how much info the doctors do or do not know about natural measures. Is this kind of information being kept from your doctor? And in whose best interest is it to keep this information from you!

Another life saved from the big pharmaceutical machine!
