Blood Pressure lowered by Soy.
Alternative Medicine in Action
Medical scientists at Harvard's Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital report that
"'Population] studies suggest a low incidence of cardiovascular disease 'in women]
who consume dietary soy.
"Compared with an 'otherwise healthful diet] alone, the same diet plus soy
nuts lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 9.9% and 6.8%
respectively."
This Alternative Medicine based approach's results, in terms of successfully
lowering blood pressure were quite dramatic in a world of drug-based treatment
often resulting in less effective lowering. And of course, side effects are
virtually nil* with the Alternative medicine treatment as compared with the
serious potential side effects of the drugs.

*Soy in any form is not advisable for nursing, pregnant and soon-to-be-pregnant
women.
