I wasn’t eating lots of carbs - and the carbs I did consume weren’t refined.

The next thing I remember was being shocked back to consciousness with the defibrillator as my wife screamed in horror thinking I was dead.

“Ok. Here’s what’s gonna happen.” - he said.

“We are gonna pull up to the emergency room and bring you in. There are gonna be lots of people there like doctors, medical students, nurses etc. Just listen to whatever they say and do whatever they tell you.” - he continued.

Boom! 

The emergency door swung open and just like he said there was a crowd of people around me observing as if I was some sort of a medical experiment.

“Paul?” The cardiologist began.

“Do you know what’s happening?” - he asked.

“Yes, the paramedic said I’m having a heart attack.”

“That’s correct. I need you to sign this waiver so we can give you a stent.”

Then he said something that will remain in my memory forever.

“This is a life saving procedure.”

I’d never had anyone say those words to me before.

I realized that I was literally about to die.

Then he said something even more shocking..

He asked how I felt and I said I was scared. 

And then he said…

“You should be. This is a very serious situation. Let’s get him to the cath lab now!”

I got my stent and was brought into a room in the cardiac unit where the nurse came in to check on me.

“So I had a heart attack?” I asked.

“Oh yeah. The big one.” - She replied.

Then she explained…

So I took my medicine and asked no questions.

I began to have regular visits with my cardiologist.

My cholesterol went down.

My EKG’s looked good but…

My blood pressure was still high.

Every time I took it at home it was around 150/90 on average.

In fact, one day it was so high that it spun me into a full blown anxiety attack and I needed to be rushed back to the emergency room because I thought I was having another heart attack.

On top of that I had bad side effects like dry cough and - of all things - fast and irregular heart beat.

So here I was taking a medication that is supposed to make me healthy again and it’s actually ruining my life.

When I raised concerns to my cardiologist he just switched my medication but all that did was give me a new set of side effects.

Still my blood pressure was high.

One day I was on the phone with my lawyer regarding a business venture and he asked how I was feeling.

I started telling him about my high blood pressure issues when he stopped me dead in my tracks.

That’s when I met Dr. Philip Totonelly.

My lawyer was right...

I took a ride up there and he examined me.

After the EKG, echocardiogram, stress test and every other test known to man he sat down with a pen and a piece of paper and started writing.

At first I thought it was another prescription but it was just a small “post it” like note.

Written on that piece of paper were 8 ingredients - some of which I'd been familiar with and others I had never heard of.

Then he began to explain to me..

However, increased production of glucocorticoids not only have an influence on blood pressure, but can also reduce the formation of bone and cartilage. 

Numerous studies exploring this link have published results supporting this link from around the world.

The results of a 2015 study published in the Journal of Periodontology identified a possible link between periodontitis and hypertension due to inflammation. 

A study in Korea also linked the presence of oral inflammation caused by periodontal disease scenarios and elevation of blood pressure.

Another study published in 2015 published in the American Journal of Hypertension concludes that chronic periodontal disease triggers tissue inflammation in gums and other tissues that support the teeth.

Inflammation forces the body’s immune system functions to fight back. 

Chronic inflammatory responses can place a strain on the heart. 

So to can the presence of bacteria from oral decay that finds its way into the body’s cardiovascular system.

One such study involved over 100,000 subjects and focused on conditions of dental plaque, dental calculus, and gingival (gum) inflammation.

Interestingly, individuals over 65 years of age showed little association between poor oral health and hypertension, but the same couldn’t be said of those under 65 years of age. 

The conclusions? 

“Insufficient masticatory function, poor oral hygiene, and oral inflammation are associated with hypertension in subjects under 65.”

According to a 2018 study published in Hypertension states that “…periodontitis was associated with unsuccessful antihypertensive treatment after multiple adjustments, with higher odds by disease severity.”

According to the American Heart Association, contributing and coexisting factors such as diabetes mellitus, inadequate diet and nutrition, obesity, and the aforementioned poor oral hygiene, stress, and high cholesterol levels all contribute to an increased risk for high blood pressure.

Protecting your heart and its functions is not always a matter of personal will and lifestyle. 

For some, random causes of inadequate cardiovascular protection is also influenced by family (hereditary) history, genetics, or age. 

However, in some cases, our very habits can increase the risk of high blood pressure. 

Some habits that include an unhealthy diet high in sodium or fat, being overweight or obese, and over-consumption of alcohol all increase the risk of high blood pressure and ultimately damage to heart function.

The heart is a muscle, and as such, must be exercised for optimal health and wellness. 

The American Heart Association lists the lack of physical activity as a primary contributor to high blood pressure risk. 

Just like any other muscle in the body, the heart muscle, when given adequate physical activity, ensures that the heart muscle itself, the vascular system, and circulation benefit.

According to health.gov, everyone is susceptible to high blood pressure and heart disease that is not just limited to high blood pressure. 

Failure to adequately protect your heart can lead to coronary heart disease and/or coronary artery disease, which is the most common form of heart disease.

Poor circulation contributes to a number of disabilities including difficulty walking, pain – due to lack of nutrients and oxygen to blood cells – as well as decreased quality of life, mobility, and ultimate damage to the heart muscle and the circulatory system.

Undiagnosed or uncontrolled high diastolic or systolic blood pressure is a huge risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis, which in turn is responsible for most heart attacks and stroke scenarios.

Blood clots typically develop where the lining of the arterial wall isn’t smooth. 

Combined with plaque buildup, blood clots can therefore more easily form. 

Over time, the narrowed artery limits and sometimes even prevents blood to flow to a certain area of the body.

Pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis are two dangerous types of blood clots that, according to the CDC, impact nearly 900,000 Americans every year. 

They also estimate that 3 out of every 10 people who have been diagnosed with a blood clot will likely experience another blood clot within 10 years. 

Unfortunately, approximately 100,000 people die every year of blood clots, 1 out of every 4 four people who have a pulmonary embolism die without warning.

So in a nutshell what Dr. Totonelly was telling me was that in order to lower my blood pressure naturally I needed to address these eight issues.

Reishi mushrooms are also believed to improve the circulation of the blood and reduce inflammation, which may help to relax and open the walls of blood vessels, preventing buildup of cholesterol and resulting clogged arteries.

A 2013 study published in the International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms (“Probing Lingzhi or Reishi medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum (higher Basidionycetes): a bitter mushroom with amazing health benefits”) provided a large list of the active constituents that are found in this mushroom that include but are not limited to polysaccharides, dietary fibers, peptides, proteins, mineral elements, vitamins, and amino acids. 

These bioactive compounds and components have a number of beneficial health properties that have been used to treat conditions ranging from atherosclerosis to diabetes, insomnia, and hypertension for years.

Allicin is a compound that comes from garlic, more specifically as an organosulfur compound. 

As the name implies, an organic sulfur is a compound that contains sulfur, and this kind of sulfur is an essential nutrient for life.

These compounds are found in all living creatures and take the form of a number of essential amino acids, including cystine and cysteine, which are components of proteins. 

They also are found in tri-peptides, enzymes, coenzymes, vitamins, and even hormones.

A 2013 article published in the Israel Medical Association Journal (“Effects of allicin on cardiovascular risk factors in spontaneously hypertensive rats”) reported a study for the efficacy of allicin on hypertension. 

The rats were treated for six weeks, given 80 mg a day of purified allicin added to their food. 

They were measured in the beginning of the study and at the end of the study for factors such as weight, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, and adiponectin.

The results? While allicin didn’t have any effect on the body weight, it did “significantly” reduce systolic blood pressure from approximately 190 to 168. 

Triglyceride levels of the test subjects dropped from 96 to approximately 71. 

Therefore, the animal study concluded that allicin was effective in reducing both blood pressure and triglyceride levels (which also contribute to high blood pressure) in hypertensive rats.

A 2015 article published in the International Journal of Advances in Medicine also studied the effects of allicin in reducing blood pressure (“Effective long-term supplementation of active garlic allicin in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive subjects”) concluded that high-quality allicin is dependent on how it is processed and extracted from garlic. 

Garlic is a food that is beneficial in lowering blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels and is a recommended herb that has been used as a cardiovascular supplement.

In the study mentioned above, a small group of hypertensive and human subjects (60 male and 40 female adults ranging in age from 30 to 55) consumed raw, crushed garlic cloves with water twice daily for six months. 

However, it wasn’t until the 20th century that scientists extracted a component known as oleuropein from the olive leaf.

In addition to other phytonutrients, oleuropein has been studied for it's potential to reduce the accumulative damage caused by a number of age-related diseases, neurodegenerative conditions, and metabolic syndromes. 

It possesses antimicrobial and antifungal properties which is one of the reasons it is widely used in synthetic and semi-synthetic medicines. 

Studies have found increased use of the olive leaf and extract against infection like H. pylori and even Staph.

Studies have also demonstrated an increased use of olive leaf prevents gum-related disorders. 

Now as I said earlier there is a clear link between poor oral hygiene and cardiovascular disease.

Well there are three main culprits that commonly rear their ugly heads when someone has poor oral hygiene.

First there's mucositis which is a serious oral infection which causes inflammation in the mouth. 

The second is wounds within the mouth.

And the third has to do with increased levels of something called MDA which is a compound that causes free radicals in the mouth which can lead to things like cancer.

The good news is olive leaf extract has been shown to combat all three of these culprits.

A 2016 study by Showraki and Mardani found the anti-oxidative properties of olive leaf to reduce the effects of mucositis in cancer patients with the very first treatment.

It's also been shown to heal oral wounds through the formation  of collagen fibers.

And lastly, it decreases MDA levels and inhibits oxidative stress in oral tissues.

First, it can help improve the amount of blood pumped out of the heart during contractions, widen the blood vessels, and increase the transmission of nerve signals.

It also seems to have blood pressure-lowering activity, according to early research. 

It seems to cause relaxing of the blood vessels farther from the heart due to a component within it called proanthocyanidin.

Research suggests that hawthorn can lower cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL, or “bad cholesterol”), and triglycerides (fats in the blood). 

It also seems to lower accumulation of fats in the liver and the aorta (the largest artery in the body, located near the heart). 

Hawthorn fruit extract may lower cholesterol by increasing the excretion of bile, reducing the formation of cholesterol, and enhancing the receptors for LDLs. 

It also seems to have antioxidant activity.

In countries around the world, Hawthorn berries are relatively common in the treatment of high blood pressure. 

A number of animal studies have shown that Hawthorn can prove beneficial as a vasodilator, or, in other words, relax and widen constricted vessels, which in turn also lowers blood pressure. 

Nitric oxide is a special compound that has the potential to literally relax blood vessels. 

Studies have shown that cayenne has an effect on both of these.

Here I had in my hands what seemed to be the ideal formula for lowering my blood pressure but it was too difficult to make work.

It was like having the keys to a car with no wheels.

For months I was spending over $100 per month buying these supplements and they weren't even of good quality.

I knew there had to be a better way.

Then one day I thought "why not just do this myself?"

And so my quest began.

I started searching high and low for manufacturers. 

But again I ran into some of the same problems.

Most of the manufacturers were sourcing low quality ingredients and they were very expensive.

The only way to get the cost to be somewhat reasonable was to add fillers and binders - which is why most supplement brands do this.

Then I had another idea.

Rather than trying to work with the same low level manufactures as everyone else I started looking for manufactures that had much higher standards and I found one that will only work with licensed practitioners like doctors and nutritionists.

There are only a handful of these companies in the world.

And they are super selective with whom they work with.

After months of extensive research I finally found a manufacturer that met all the standards I was looking for.

As a matter of fact this manufacturer actually goes above and beyond what I even thought was possible when it comes to standards.

More about that later...

The only problem was I'm not a licensed practitioner.

But....

My good friend and trusted advisor Dr. Totonelly is.

And technically speaking it's his formulation.

So I approached him with the idea of launching our own supplement brand.

After all I am a trained internet entrepreneur with 15 years of experience building and growing online companies.

At that moment our new venture was born - Natural MD Solutions.

Our next order of business was bringing this formulation to life.

And that's exactly what we did with B.P. PhytoActiv.

And after just one month of taking it I was able to come off my blood pressure medication.

So what’s BP PhytoActiv all about?
