About 1 in 3 U.S. adults—as estimated 68 million—have high blood pressure¹, which increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, leading causes of death in the United States.²

High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" because it often has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people don't realize they have it. That's why it's important to get your blood pressure checked regularly.

The good news is that you can take steps to prevent high blood pressure, or to treat it if it is already high.

About High Blood Pressure

Having high blood pressure raises your risk for heart disease and stroke, leading causes of death in the United States.¹

High Blood Cholesterol:  What You Need To Know

Why Is Cholesterol Important?

Your blood cholesterol level may have a lot to do with your chances of getting heart disease. High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. A risk factor is a condition that increases your chance of getting a disease. In fact, the higher your blood cholesterol level, the greater your risk for developing heart disease or having a heart attack. Heart disease is the number one killer of women and men in the United States. Each year, more than a million Americans have heart attacks, and about 55 percent of those people die from heart disease.

Heart Disease and Beriberi (B Vitamin) Deficiency

Heart Disease and Beriberi (B Vitamin) Deficiency

Anyone who has read Health Alert for longer than 6 months knows that I have always maintained that cholesterol is not a cause of heart disease.  And for a majority of heart disease patients, beriberi (B vitamin deficiency) of the heart is the underlying cause of the disease.  Few people in the world of medicine - and even fewer in the world of cardiology - have taken the time to consider, no less, test this theory.  I have personally tested it and found it to be true in tens of thousands of heart patients over a period of more than 30 years.

Your heart is run basically by your autonomic nervous system (ANS).  This is the nervous system you do not have to think about, but the same one that is under assault when you eat a diet that is deficient in B vitamins and thiamine.  A thiamine-deficient diet is the same diet that causes beriberi.  The symptoms of a B vitamin-deficient diet are too numerous to mention.  The combined symptoms make up the clinical picture of patients who have fallen prey to the diseases of the modern era.  Not the least of these is heart disease.  Still, no one has taken seriously those of us who are attempting to solve a disease (beriberi of the heart) that has been truly epidemic for centuries!
