*PTSD and Hypertension: What's The Connection?*

On our upcoming program, we are moving past the mainstream concept of medicine and disease causation to explore whole body systems and what our bodies are telling us in some of the syndromes that we observe.

We realize that pervasive inflammation is a sign that something is awry in the body.  Inflammation arises as a result of certain causative factores and is, moreover the underlying culprit in many of what are euphamistically be dubbed the "Millennium Diseases."

We have already established that with hypertension the peripheral blood vessels are rigid, which means more pressure is require to move blood through. A partial cause for this rigidity is the inflammation we have been discussing.

We likewise are aware that inflammation is an underling culprit in many other conditions, including cancer. Is it, then "unscientific" to consider the implication that inflammation  -- which is simply mucous in and around the living cell -- is an indicator that we are launched on a continuum that may ultimately deposit us at uncontrolled mitosis?

Let's expand our considerations on these matters.  Join us.
