Vaccine Developed for High Blood Pressure

Posted By Dr. Mercola | June 21 2007 | 2,897 views
In another case of creating unnecessary medicinal inventions for phony reasons, a Swiss company, Cytos Biotechnology, has created a high blood pressure vaccine, because people have a tendency to forget to take their daily pills.

The new drug, CYT006-AngQb, claims to be able to reduce blood pressure for months at a time, lowering the systolic pressure by 25 millimeters of mercury, and the diastolic pressure by 13 mmHg.

Martin Bachman of Cytos states, "We can certainly reduce blood pressure, but whether it's enough to be clinically meaningful we can't say yet."

This is just another one of those bandwagons you'd be better off not jumping onto, since there are many natural ways to lower your blood pressure without resorting to experimental drugs with unknown, unforseen side effects.

For a list of all natural tips, see How To Treat High Blood Pressure Without Drugs.
