◆ Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome, sometimes called insulin resistance, refers to a condition in which normal cells are reluctant to receive the message of the insulin hormone that urges every body cell to accept and absorb the glucose moledules staying outside the cell to be absorbed. As a good number of glucose molecules set in the cell as much as is required, then the cell can survive carrying out it's normal responsibilities to meet the body's demands. This is a very important mechanism for the human body to do everyday's activities and to survive in this world.

There has been researches and studies concerning how to understand the relationship between the metabolic syndrome and high blood pressure. Eventhough, however to this day, all the mechanisms don't have been discovered clearly, researchers have found that higher than normal insulines in the blood play an important role in the development of high blood pressure.

Wwhat is important in eliminating the metabolic syndrome is not to depend upon many prescribed medications but rather to change the lifestyle and eating habits. For the impaired metabolism, the metabolic syndrome, does not come from the shortage of prescription drugs in the body but from the improper diet or bad lifestyles and nutrients depletion. Even the diet modification alone can help us ameliorate the metabolic syndrome at least to some degree. What is more important, Dr. Jou have already prepared nutritions and herbs that enhances the effect of lifestyle change and make up for the depleted nutrients. We can overcome metabolic syndrome with these natural measures and presciptions medications are not needed any more.

◆ Vitamine A, B, C, E

There are many factors which cause arterial walls to be damaged and resultantly to be resistent to the blood flow. According to studies, heavy metals, chemical toxins and other toxic substances can penetrate into our body in many circumstances, and these may hurt the internal walls of arteries. Recently, some researchers have asserted that some kind of bacterias or micro-organisms in the gum diseases may be a factor that directly affects arterial walls. Whatever the causes may be, the damaged walls certainly accelerate the hardening phenomenen of blood vessels that may raise the arterial blood pressures. In the case, researchers have found that antioxidants like vitamine A,B,C and E can serve as a sweeper to these harmful substances to restore the flexible arteries.

In recent years, studies have made it clear that one of amino acid, homosysteine, a by-product in the metabolisn of proteins, certainly plays the key role in worsening high blood pressure as well as heart disease or heart attack. Researchers also found that vitamine B3, B6, B9 surely get involved in the protein metabolism and can remove these harmful substances. Note that for the elimination of homosysteine and the restoration of pliable arterial tones, prescription drugs are not needed any more but only a dosage of vitamine nutrients are usually enough to smeet the demands.

※mega-vitamine therapy-> Using higher doses of vitamines and minerals to cure a disease is called as the mega-vitamine therapy. In the years of early 1920, Dr. Linus Pauling, a famous scientist in the United States, asserted that high dose of vitamin C can improve many illnesses and this was the start of the maga-vitamine therapy.

※homocysteine-> In 1969, Dr. Kilmer S. McCully, a professor of medicine in Havard university, maintained that homosysteine is the main cause of atherosclerosis and heart disease. This theory has not been accepted by medical specialists at that time but in recent years it begins to gain much recognition among heart and blood pressure specialists. Human body originally have the mechanism of removing the homocycstein, called methylation, in which good amount of vitamine B is needed.

◆ Heavt Metal Detoxification

Herbs, nutritional supplements, coffee enema and heat therapy which we use to remove the toxic substances including the heavy metals are very wonderful. When there is a suspect about the existence of these metals in the clients' body, we conduct hair tissue mineral analysis, by which we can detect mineral imbalances, heavy metal involvement, or any other involvements. There are many ways that specialist use to get the heavy metals out of the body. However, in terms of the efficacy and effectiveness in applying the detoxification, we are very proud of ourselves that we produce the best results among all the practitioners in the medical communities

We all are exposed to environmental pollutions including air, water and foods more than ever in human history. Ecologists and scientists have relealed that we all have not adjusted ourselves to these surroundings in the evolutionary process. Resultantly, we are not preoared to detoxify or remove them out of our body. While definitely tons of thousands of toxins or heavy metals are being sprayed or scattered throughout the world, we are not fully armed up to protect ourselves. Unfortunately policy makers and industrial workers have no idea about how dangerous it is to spray the toxins. Refer to chelation therapy below.

◆ Magnesium

Magnesium, one of important mineral in the body, has the function of relaxing muscle tones in the arterial walls.When the muscle tone relaxes, the bloos vessels dilate and more blood volume can flow through arteries. When blood flows easily in a good amount, the heart don't need to work harder to pump out more bloods. This machanism can be regarded as one of body's natural blood pressure control system, for in this virtue arteries dilate easily and the heart works moderately. This benefit of magnesium has made many natural practitioners believe that magnesium can lower the blood pressure at least to some degree.

Magnesium can be found abundantly in cabbages, sprouts, beans, brown rice, nuts and seeds. Clients with high blood pressure can gain benefits when he/she takes a good amount of these foods. what we believe is that the depletion of nutrients and trace minerals in the soil makes the agricultral products more depleted of these nutrients and that, for this reason, the nutritional supplements become more necessary to everybody as well as hypertensive patients.

Those who tend to sweat more easily, who is under stress for most of time and those who takes diuretics for a long period of time have to be supplemented with the magnesium sufficiently, for these events deprive more than usual amount of magnesium of the body. In other words, these situations tend to make the blood pressure easily on the rise due to megnesium shortage.

In this way, the magnesium, one of the most important nutrient in the body, has been proved scientifically as a valuable source of controling the blood pressure. In fact, along with other blood pressure lowering herbs and nutritions, magnesium is being used by many alternative medical practitioners as a part of wonderful source to settle down the raised blood pressure.

◆ Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega three fatty acid is one of the essential nutrients, which means that we cannot make the omega three fatty acid from our body's natural biochemical mechanism. We have to take omega three oil from the outer food sources that contains high volume of this nutrient.

Recent research describes that omega three fatty acids are abundantly found in flaxseeds, cod liver, mackerel and salmon and found that in our body it converts into docohexanoic acid(DHA) anb eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA), which in turn transforms into prostaglandinⅡ which works a similar way to a hormone to control the blood pressure. In other words, as we eat the good amount of flaxseeds and mackerel, we are able to lower the blood pressure by increasing the production of prostaglandinⅡ.

It is proved that those who usually eat bad oils such as corn and soy bean oil are prone to the depletion of omega three fatty acids. They have to consider modifying eating habit and being supplied with the omega three oils if they have high blood pressure. Similarly, others who like to eat junk foods or processed foods, and those who are identified as fast-oxidizers by hair tissue mineral analysis, have to eat a good amount of omega three fatty acids to lower the blood pressure. Natural specialists also remind us that we have to consider balancing the amount of omega three and six fatty acid when we take the omega three for a long time

◆ Food sensitivity

It is widely known in world medical societies that food sensitivities play a role in the development of high blood pressure. It is almost impossible to normalize the blood presure without working on the problem of food sensitivities, if they are involved.

The first thing to know is that those who is affected by the food sensitivities should keep away from the troublsome foods at their best at least while they are on natural treatment. Perfect restriction is the best policy to solve the problem and this usually help the patient to make the way into perfect healing. Make a "elimination plan" during which it is best to avoid specific foods as much as possible.

We provide individualized strategy for each client to easily get on the way of elimination plan. Just as food sensitivity has a variety of types in clinical practice, the elimination plan take different forms according to the diagnosis we make for the client.

However, there are also some foods that are preferable to include as part of your meals because as a group they are less likely to be associated with food sensitivities than the group of foods you will be eliminating. It is also specially important to select organically grown foods whenever possible.
