This is extremely interesting. Especially toward the end when he says any autoimmune disease can be reveresed within 5 years.

feelfit what I find interesting is how these diseases turn off the VDR....Vitamin D Nuclear Receptor...I wonder why if this relates to why chronic illnesses reduce the D in our bloods.
H e has been sitting on this since about 2007 with reduced D...can lead to other things....I will not mention and I have presented this to my LLMD for further thought....

Feelfit,
my doctor was very interested and will check the link. Benicar would be not a big problem, I would like to try it.

Benicar controls high blood pressure. It works by blocking the effect of a hormone called angiotensin II. Unopposed, this substance prompts the blood vessels to contract, an action that tends to raise blood pressure. Benicar relaxes and expands the blood vessels, allowing pressure to drop.
I can't count the number of people with lyme that have a problem with low blood pressure and sudden drops in pressure that cause syncope, dizziness, and sometimes fainting. Taking something to cause low blood pressure could be dangerous to these people myself included.
