How to Reverse Deadly Aneurysms and Prevent Stroke
A therapy with a new drug aimed at preventing rupture of aneurysms that threaten the lives of more than 50 million people has been proven safe in a clinical study. It 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 elastic fiber in your body so important?
Elastin drives every move you make and every breath you take.
​
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.

What happens to elastin in all of us

Here's 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.
