HYPERTENSION AND DYSLIPIDEMIA:
Insulin Resistance is one of the leading causes
of Essential Hypertension and abnormal blood
lipid levels, which is why they are also primary
indicators of this disorder. In patients with
Essential Hypertension, always assess them for
Insulin Resistance. If present consider adding
Gluco-Balance to your regime. (See protocols for
Insulin Resistance and Diabetes Type 2.

Gluco-Balance.)

Systemic Chronic Inflammation. Consider
assessing your patient with lab work for this
metabolic disorder, such as hsCRP and
fibrinogen. If chronic inflammation is present,
consider adding Inflam-Rx.
