Has anyone looked into Dr. Louis Ignarros claims of discovering a low cost supplement to lower blood pressure and remove plaque from the circulatory system?
Dr. Louis Ignarro Honored as 2008 American Heart Association Distinguished Scientist Nobel Laureate Dr. Louis Ignarro was honored in November for his contribution to the advancement of research into cardiovascular disease. PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 18, 2008 – The American Heart Association (AHA) has selected UCLA professor Louis J. Ignarro as a 2008 Distinguished Scientist. The award was presented at the 2008 Scientific Session, Nov 8-12 2008, in New Orleans. The AHA gives its annual Distinguished Scientist Award to outstanding scientists who have made significant contributions towards the advancement of understanding and prevention of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Dr. Ignarro’s research was critical in the development of drugs and supplements that utilize Nitric Oxide (NO) as a vasodilator in order to reduce or prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. His research has led to the development of drugs such as Viagra and Cialis as well as his own NO-based heart health re
I first read about Dr Louis Ignarro in a Bottom Line publishing book of the World’s Greatest Treasury of Health Secrets, page 485. I was skeptical at first. I showed this to my nurse practitioner, decided to try it. I am a 62 year old Vietnam veteran who received substantial exposure to herbicides during my tour there. The VA removed part of my lung in 2008. I had significant blockage in my arteries including the femoral arteries and vessels. The nail on my big toe started to die back and my toe would have been next, my feet were cold all the time from not getting enough blood supply. I had used his regimen for six months and had testing done on my blood pressure throughout my body on my ankles, where I had blockage and abnormal pressures before, normal blood flow and pressures now exist. My blood pressure is now 118/78 lower by 40 points. My bad cholesterol is better. I have used the nitric oxide combination for a year and a half. I had a new blood test two weeks ago on my heart and c
Dr. Ignarro won the Nobel prize in 1998 showing how to increase nitric oxide. People with high blood pressure, high cholesterol were shown to have a lack of nitric oxide production. By using L-Arginine and L-Citrulline as a catalyst, both amino acids, together, it was shown to increase nitric oxide production, thereby lower lowering bad cholesterol and high blood pressure. Now, this natural remedy is not for everyone, it calls for up to 5-10 grams a day of L-Arginine in some supplement preparations. L-Arginine is metabolized in the liver, so taking large amounts could be hazardous to those with liver disease. In large amounts it can also cause muscle cramps, muscle weakness and diarrhea. Those with genital herpes and those prone to cold sores might also want to avoid this type of therapy. Arginine is an essential amino acid used for replication by the herpes virus and could make outbreaks more severe, frequent and of longer duration. It has been shown to work, but as with any treatment
