I have just completed the study of a document by ion eXtra, who have a product for lowering blood pressure. In which they have written about solving the problem of high blood pressure.
"It is anticipated that people living in temperate zones will never be persuaded to undertake regular daily sweat-inducing exercise. Instead there has to be some kind of intervention to restore the proper habituation of HAVARDS. If a surplus of electrolytes could be created in the body then there would be no need for the protective conservation of electrolytes by the sweat ducts. If this surplus could be maintained then the sweat ducts would remain open, protected by antimicrobial peptides. This would then lead to angiogenesis and blood pressure would reduce to normal levels.
Trying to add electrolytes to body fluids, e.g. to the water in the digestive tract, will just result in surplus electrolytes being immediately dispersed and eliminated via the kidneys. This is why isotonic drinks are of little value in restoring electrolyte balance. For success, it is necessary to create an apparent surplus that cannot be eliminated by the normal processes of the body. The problem was how to achieve this apparent surplus.
We knew that the molecular behavior was controlled and modified by a process of inter-cellular signals. After much experimentation we created a tablet that sealed small quantities of electrolyte, (e.g. sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride) within a coating. The coating is permeable to gas but not to liquid. The solid electrolytes within the tablet change the environment where the relevant cells exist by rearranging the local water molecules so it seems to the body that there are electrolytes actually dispersed in the water when, in fact, there are not.
This re-ordering of water molecules is sufficient to open the ion channel gating (the mechanism through which cells exchange ions), although no ions can pass through the channel as they are held inside the tablet. However, opening ion channels initiates cell-to-cell signalling throughout the body, with the body metabolism adjusting its behavior to deal with an apparent surplus of electrolytes.
In summary, a surplus would normally activate ion transport to remove the surplus electrolytes that have been provided by the tablet. However, the electrolytes cannot dissolve, because of the tablet’s coating, and so the electrolytes cannot be removed. The apparent surplus continues whilst the tablet brushes past the epithelial cells achieving the objective of creating an apparent constant surplus of electrolytes. The consequent receipt of signals telling the body that there is a surplus prevents the inappropriate conservation of electrolyte by the sweat duct transmembrane regulator. The electrolytes sealed in the tablet pass through the body unchanged by being used, continually signalling and providing the desired effect for 24 hours or a little longer. The small amount of electrolytes in the tablet appear as normal molecular particles to the body.
Full angiogenesis of skin capillaries by this process over 14 to 30 days will usually generate a lasting reduction in blood pressure to the level of a typical twenty-one year old, in the absence of major organ disease or significant fatty deposits or cholesterol plaque in the arteries."
