Hypertension and Viruses

Dr. Robert Rowen’s newsletter, Second Opinion, in its October, 2009 issue discussed the connection between CMV viral infection, which can stay with you a lifetime, and hypertension. This was discovered by researchers at Beth Israel Deconess Medical Center. He suggests measuring CMV titres in the blood. If high, a therapeutic course of oxidative therapy might significantly lower the blood pressure, which might in turn prevent heart attacks and strokes. My favorite anti-viral supplement is Lauricidin (Monolaurin is one brand name). Olive leaf and oregano preparations and high dose vitamin D might also be effective.
