Guest guest Posted August 11, 2002 Report Share Posted August 11, 2002 Nate, I would check with Doc Ian but the heart formula is a very awesome formula. At 38 my husband had a heart attack and has a mitral valve problem....b/p was 220/175. After 2 months on heart formula he was off his prescription meds with normal b/p and feeling much better. He may have been able to get off meds sooner but that was when he went for his re-check. Now 3 years later all is fine for him still, no meds just heart formula with a backer of habenero tincture that he likes to take as well. His b/p has been 135/90 on average for a very long time and has had no trouble. I know this stuff works!
