Authorities confirm COVID-19 vaccines can weaken the immune system – they named the condition “long vax”

July 28, 2023 - angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, which then causes heart rate fluctuations and blood pressure issues.

Common symptoms include abnormal heart rate, extreme fatigue, headaches and blood pressure fluctuations.

The data suggests that the mainstream scientific establishment now believes mRNA COVID-19 injections cause ADE, and maybe even AIDS. This explains why mRNA technology was never authorized for human use before the coronavirus plandemic.COVID-19 ...

Study: Vitamin D supplementation found to reduce the risk of heart attack

February 06, 2024 - angiotensin-aldosterone system, which is responsible for regulating blood pressure and cardiovascular function. This crucial role of vitamin D suggests that it could influence cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Observational studies have found an inverse association between blood calcifediol levels and the risk of CVD, meaning the higher the blood concentration of 25-OH-D, the lower the CVD risk. To further explore this reported benefit, Australian researchers launched ...

Fact check: No, RFK, Jr. did not say COVID was an ethnically targeted bioweapon that spared Jews

July 15, 2023 - angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) genetic variants may also help explain differences in infection rates among ethnic groups. Led by Ioannis Karakikes of Stanford University, a new study suggests some hospitalized patients with COVID-19 contain ACE2 genetic variants that increase ACE2 expression. Some variants that altered ACE2 protein expression and binding affinity were more prevalent in people with European backgrounds.

From the positive cases, about 68.3% were ...

The health benefits of quercetin, a powerful antioxidant found in colorful superfoods

January 29, 2024 - angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2), which facilitates infection. Cell culture studies show that quercetin at physiologically relevant concentrations can prevent this interaction, making it a potent antiviral agent against COVID-19. (Related: HERBS BEAT COVID: Taiwanese study: Two TCM formulations significantly reduce progression of COVID-19.)

Quercetin and its derivatives have also been shown to target 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro), an important enzyme ...

Comprehensive review highlights key adverse events linked to COVID-19 vaccines

2 months ago - angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) receptors in the body, as spike proteins bind to ACE-2 receptors to enter cells.

A meta-analysis study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease examining data on 357,387 vaccinated individuals found that around 3.2 percent reported an increase in blood pressure in post-vaccination reports filed 15 minutes to days after vaccination.Heart Palpitations

Here’s why eating garlic and onions can prevent hypertension and diabetes

April 16, 2021 -

In a recent study, researchers at the Federal University of Technology in Nigeria investigated the benefits of eating garlic, white onion and purple onion against serious conditions like diabetes and hypertension. They confirmed these by looking at how extracts from the three alliums affect the activity of diabetes-related enzymes, such as a-amylase and a-glucosidase, and the hypertension-related enzyme, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).

The researchers reported ...

Molecule in Nigella sativa (black seed) may prevent spike protein-induced vascular damage, scientists conclude in published paper indexed by NIH (updated)

July 27, 2021 -

Researchers out of India investigated the effects of nigellidine, an indazole alkaloid of black seed, using molecular docking for binding to different angiotensin-binding proteins, as well as the spike glycoprotein. They found that nigellidine "strongly binds" to the spike protein at what is known as the hinge region or active site opening, which may in turn hamper its binding to ACE2 receptor surfaces.

"Nigellidine effectively binds in the Angiotensin-II ...

Prenatal high-salt diet leads to complications in offspring

March 01, 2019 -

In conclusion, the findings of the study suggest that prenatal high-salt diet damages nitric oxide-mediated vasodilatation by increasing oxidative stress, which also impairs the renin-angiotensin system.

Powerful natural medicine: Black cumin remedies kidney damage

December 03, 2018 - angiotensin into several forms, part of the actions of which is to constrict surrounding capillaries increasing the pressure of blood that enters the kidneys.

However, this effect, meant to maintain optimal kidney function, damages the kidneys in the long run. Chronic high blood pressure negatively affects the kidneys and is one of the causes of kidney damage. Blocking the renin-angiotensin system is, therefore, one of the main methods both for regulating ...

Certain compounds in milk can protect against hypertension – study

July 12, 2019 -

The research team, in particular, looked at earlier studies that highlight the ACE-inhibiting properties of certain milk proteins. ACE – short for angiotensin I-converting enzyme – transforms angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a protein hormone known to increase blood pressure, body water, and sodium content. Having too much angiotensin II in the body can cause high blood pressure (hypertension). It can also lead to heart failure, as the protein ...

Animal study shows that Rosmarinic acid can reduce hypertension symptoms and skeletal muscle glucose transport in mice

June 12, 2020 - angiotensin I, which is converted into such by an enzyme known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Because of the consequence of its activity, chemicals that inhibit ACE are used for the treatment of hypertension because they can help relax the veins and arteries. This results in the lowering of blood pressure.

For their study, the researchers evaluated the effects of short- and long-term treatment with rosmarinic acid on blood pressure and glucose transport ...

Be warned: Crash dieting may give you more belly fat

December 13, 2018 - angiotensin II hormone was also more potent at increasing blood pressure in the rats that followed a reduced-calorie diet. Angiotensin II increases blood pressure by binding to receptors and constricting blood vessels. In addition, it promotes the production of other hormones that cause the body to retain salt and water.

This elevated blood pressure, when combined with increased belly fat, could lead to chronic health conditions for people who have crash-dieted ...

Exercise is still the best way to lower blood pressure, study shows

April 19, 2019 -

In a recent study, researchers from the U.K. and the U.S. pooled data from existing studies to compare the effectiveness of exercise in lowering systolic blood pressure (SBP) with that of commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications. These medications included angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I), angiotensin-2 receptor blockers (ARBs), beta-blockers, calcium blockers, and diuretics. They targeted SBP because people with high SBP are at great ...

Millions of patients are being OVERDOSED with blood pressure medication, study reveals

June 13, 2017 - angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, beta blockers, calcium channel blocker, and thiazides — were included in the review.

When the researchers compared the effectiveness of quarter-dose therapy to both a standard dose or placebo, they found that taking a quarter-dose of one medication did not lower blood pressure as much as a full dose did. However, the team discovered that the combination of two medications in a quarter ...

Who needs meds? Simple potassium may lower blood pressure more safely than prescription drugs
