 Fat-soluble toxins then pass into the dermis and into the blood vessels located there. Once in the blood, they travel through the blood vessels and eventually end up in the—you guessed it—liver.
Example: Transdermal drug administration relies on the skin's effective transport system. Drugs applied directly to the skin, usually via a cream or patch, get absorbed through the outer layer into the dermis and then into the blood vessels. From there the drug makes its way to the liver, where it can be processed and perform its function. |

 It causes a relaxation of the smooth muscles of blood vessels (except for cerebral blood vessels) and the bronchial tubes. Moreover, caffeine works as a short-lived diuretic and produces an increase of gastric secretions and the release of catecholamines.
Caffeine works competitively to block adenosinal receptors which lie on cell surfaces in the brain, fat tissue, liver, kidneys, heart, and erythrocytes.
Heart, circulation, vessels: People who normally do not drink coffee, react 1 hour after an intake of 250 gm, with an increase of 10 mm Hg in their systolic blood pressure. |

 Anxiety and a deficit of GABA are particularly destructive to blood vessels, because during a state of anxiety, your blood vessels will tense up. Getting adequate rest is a significant treatment, as is boosting your serotonin levels so that you can relax. All of the brain's biochemicals can ultimately impact blood flow throughout the entire body. Increased dopamine and aerobic exercise can strengthen the vascular system; increased acetylcholine keeps blood vessels flexible. |

 You get weakened blood vessels when you get glycation of the proteins because you have high blood sugar all the time. If you can cross-link those proteins and collagen, you are going to prevent the blood vessels from just deteriorating. That is some of the design logic that goes into a product like Diabetes Defense.

 AAFCO stipulates that the flesh is "with or without the accompanying and overlying fat and the portions of the skin, sinew, nerve, and blood vessels that normally accompany the flesh." When you read on a pet food label that the product contains "real meat," you are getting blood vessels, sinew, and so on. Meat is not rendered but comes directly from slaughterhouses. |

 In the process of doing this, the blood vessels can spasm or dilate in an attempt to remove the toxins from the bloodstream faster. This causes the pain.
It is also necessary to understand that when we correct lifestyle practices and experience healing during the reversal process, there can be pain associated with this process. This is due to the release of toxins from storage, for elimination via the bloodstream and elimination channels. Toxins, whether they are going into cells for storage, or coming out of cells for elimination, cause the spasming or dilation of blood vessels. |

 It would seem that, in one sense, migraines are a seizure of the blood vessels that constrict and then give way to dilation. In any case, more and more research is finding pain underlying so many disparate symptoms. In some types of epilepsy there is a "release" phenomenon where repression falters for a brief time and there is a massive random discharge of neural energy. It is logical, therefore, that tranquilizers that aid the gating system would help epilepsy and migraines. |

 ACE INHIBITORS
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors21 are a category of drug that relax blood vessels and thereby lower blood pressure; this same action allows the heart to work less hard and therefore ACE inhibitors are a common treatment for congestive heart failure.
As with statins, we pose three questions: (1) Do they lower blood pressure? (2) Are they effective in primary prevention; that is, do ACE inhibitors prevent first-time heart attacks (fatal or nonfatal) in patients with high blood pressure? |
| Stenting does open blood vessels wider, reducing pain from angina pectoris (literally, "strangling in the chest"). Thus, in the narrow and immediate sense, the operation accomplishes what was intended. But does it save lives? According to a 1999 editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine, "it is disappointing that no study has shown that stents favorably influence mortality." In fact, several studies report higher death rates among those receiving stents. |

Vitamin D and cancer
A 65-year old woman in Japan is among the first to report remission of an advanced form of thyroid cancer which involved both lobes of the thyroid, blood vessels, trachea and esophagus. Despite the severity of her condition, provision of high-dose oral vitamin D "stalled both tumor growth and further increases of growth hormones and led to a good preservation of quality of life for the last two years," her doctors report. |

A high-fat meal impairs the ability of blood vessels to widen (control blood pressure) for at least four hours after a meal. One study found the provision of a powdered fruit-vegetable concentrate can reverse this effect. [J Am College Cardiology 41: 1744-49, 2003]
This is in contrast to another study which showed that 1,000 mg of vitamin C and 800 IU of vitamin E did not improve blood flow following consumption of a high- or low-fat meal. |
| But some tumor cells escape detection, find their way into the smallest of blood vessels, called capillaries, where the walls are thin and tumor cells can easily invade surrounding tissues. But tumor cells must remain stagnant for about 20 minutes for a distant tumor, called a metastasis, to occur. This is facilitated by blood clots. Either the cancer cells adhere to sticky blood platelets (a clotting factor) like fly paper, or the clot completely blocks the capillary and halts movement of blood cells and tumor cells. |
| Blood clots facilitate the stoppage of circulation in small blood vessels, usually in the lungs or liver, where new tumors begin to grow and invade tissues, a process called metastasis. It is metastasis that is the primary cause of mortality among cancer patients.
Chemotherapy for cancer increases blood clotting and the risk of a spreading tumor. [Haemostasis 28: 50-60, 1998] The addition of estrogen or tamoxifen may further increase the risk of blood clotting and the spread of tumors. |

| Renin also triggers vasoconstriction, the narrowing of blood vessels. This also raises blood pressure. Renin activates a blood protein, angiotensin, which causes the vasoconstriction.
Fluid and Electrolyte Balance in the Cells
Cells regulate their internal mineral balance, which keeps just the right amount of water inside the cells. If there is too much water inside the cells, the cells can burst. With too little water inside the cells, they can collapse. |

| Migraines, we have found, often reflect severe anoxia at birth, which involves the blood vessels constricting and then dilating. Currently, one of the treatments for migraines is the use of oxygen. We cannot observe the birth trauma without the proper techniques, including a setting that is not time-bound, that is quiet, soundproof, and darkened. The patient must by lying down. It is only then that we can achieve deep access. A patient sitting up and talking to a therapist is not going to arrive at this kind of access. He is too much in the present, with too much external focus. |

SELENIUM AND THYROID HORMONES
Thyroid hormones exist as a storage form, thyroxine, with four iodide ions (T4), and as the active form with three iodide ions (T3). An enzyme that requires selenium removes the extra iodine ion to transform T4 into T3. Without selenium, the active form of thyroid hormone cannot be made. Thus, selenium and iodine are both necessary for proper thyroid function. |

| A migraine can occur because the emotional blow has descended to the brainstem/limbic area that registered and processed the vasoconstriction (narrowing of blood vessels, a precursor of a migraine), in the first place. The minute the feeling touches the first line, there will be a headache. In brief, the first line contains a tendency to headaches just waiting to be triggered.
On Halloween, everyone at the Primal Therapy Center comes as their secret selves to get to feelings. They come in diapers, in armor, in clown costumes, even as cash registers. |
| In some respects it parallels what happens in the blood system when early imprints cause constriction first followed by vasodilation, which is a widening of the blood vessels.
Receiving love early in life promotes the development of a comprehensive network of dendrites, which are the parts of brain cells that receive information from other cells. Neurons "speak" to each other via this vast network of branch-like connections of dendrites. The more dendrites we possess, the better our cells can communicate. |

 Although his arteries were still very diseased, remarkably most of the blockages had shrunk by more than 50 percent, meaning that there were now places to "plug in" new blood vessels. In all my years, I had never seen such a reduction in blockages. As a surgeon I was delighted, but the researcher in me was even more intrigued. So after Big Ed left the hospital, I asked him to bring in his treasure trove of vitamins, minerals, and herbs. |

| It may also increase the half-life of endothelium-based relaxing factor by its free radical scavenging action on superoxide anions (thus relaxing contracted blood vessels) (Robak & Gryglewski, 1988). Animal studies demonstrate that Ginkgo also scavenges peroxyl radicals, which are involved in lipid peroxidation (Maitra et al, 1995).
Arteriosclerosis: Ginkgo may reduce arteriosclerotic lesions but human trials are needed. Arteriosclerosis leading to stroke developed more often in untreated rats than in rats treated with Tanakan®, a preparation of Ginkgo biloba (Fang et al, 2000). |

In a controlled experiment, angiostatin, a chemical that inhibits the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors, disappeared five days after animal tumors had been surgically removed. Tumor surgery "accelerated the growth of other tumors" says the report. [European Journal Cancer 37: 2283-88, 2001]
Even a simple biopsy is invasive enough to activate the wound-healing process and accelerate tumor progression. [Lancet 357: 1048,2001] Abdominal surgery compared to less invasive procedures using a surgical scope induces a greater spread of tumors. |
