I got yur response. no prob. I'm hoping things will change for the better on here . plus i view the info with an objective attitude. And the site sure beats the drug cartel solutions. I have a question for yu leppert. do yu use Magnesium Citrate &lt;strong&gt;powder&lt;/strong&gt;? the pills are just not as effective. I use it to control seizures where drugs have only side effects.But check out the site i mentioned at -www.knowledgeofhealth.com&amp;nbsp; Yu won't be sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=125787" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Hypertension: Still a Problem in the U.S.?</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2008/04/28/Hypertension-Still-a-Problem-in-the-US.aspx#125785</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:31:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:125785</guid><dc:creator>mykD</dc:creator><description>hi folks. try magnesium citrate powder in water for yur high BP.And get informed on this website for health-&amp;nbsp; www.knowledgeofhealth.com . type the address in yur search&amp;nbsp; engine. I get this impresion some folks commenting on this site,are in the dark with up to date health suggestions. And Mercola has me very dissapointed also to the point I've stopped recomending his site.He posts way to many negative articles pert to supplements.
