Reversing deadly aneurysms by targeting elastic fiber
A clinical trial aimed at eliminating the threat of aneurysms bursting starts this year, and if successful could transform stroke prevention. The therapy is based on a discovery at Clemson University in South Carolina that a naturally derived chemical can restore the elastic in arteries and reverse the aneurysm.
Why is the elastic fiber in your body so important?
-
It makes your skin, lungs and arteries flexible to maintain heart health.
-
After you reach about 30 years of age, your body stops assembling it.
-
When it start to degrade, it triggers chronic inflammation.
-
The inflammation leads to hard and stiff arteries.
-
Researchers have discovered how to repair and restore this elastic.
Here is how elastin fiber in your arteries is degraded, and what happens after that:
-
Toxic metals and stealthy infections assault you daily.
-
Blood vessels are vulnerable to environmental stress.
-
This leads to early heart disease signs.
-
Standard therapies control damage and symptoms, but that's not enough.
-
Studies show that innovative approaches reverse and prevent the damage.
