  1. In order to avoid strokes, you do not need to bring down blood pressure, but you need to increase the elasticity of blood vessels. Don’t the doctors know that? There are 4 types of strokes and not all of them occur from increased blood pressure. But it is always better to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

  2. I has a stroke and two heart attacks in one month my arteries were blocked get your cholesterol checked i never knew about cholesterol i had 3 jobs and never had an ill day not even a cold and was fit and healthy now i have brain damage so my advice is get yourself checked

  3. Stiff-person syndrome, shingles, stroke, blood clots, heart attacks, juvenile dermatomyositis, Ramsey hunt syndrome, irregular menstrual, death…. It’s safe and effective, book your appointment today.

  4. Strange, no mention of natural ways to prevent strokes and other cardiovascular events. And what about the growing controversy surrounding the “bio weapon injections?”

  5. There is lack of support for stroke survivors. My husband had a stroke and I know for a fact that we didn’t get much support.
