HEART ATTACKS AND RHESUS MONKEY STUDIES
We apologize for the inconvenience. Please visit our blogging site instead for the most uptodate version of this page:
A study was done about 2 years ago with rhesus monkeys. The reason they were chosen isthat there hearts most resemble ours. The reason they discovered that post menopausalwomen have heart attacks is not because their arteries are so clogged. It is because whenthey are clogged 30-50% and then stress is introduced, their arteries go into spasms andclose off. The monkeys were divided into two groups of six; the first group was given asynthetic progesterone and then they were introduced to some stress that caused theirarteries to go into spasm. For 15 minutes straight their arteries stayed in spasm and ifthey hadn't given them a shot of something to reverse the effect, they would have died.With the second group, they used a natural progesterone cream and introduced the samestress. Their arteries wouldn't even spasm!! They stayed open with good blood flow.
Women who are in or past menopause need to know this information, so that they canmaintain optimum health with NO side effects using a natural progesterone cream such asRenewed Balance by AIM.
