Please forward to Billy Jean. For more infomrmation on hypertension check my videos on www.youtube.com under rforbes1 Billie Jean you are underactive posterior pituitary. This causes excessive aldosterone which causes many cases of hypertension. There are recent studies on aldosterone inhibitors and hypertension. However you probably just need posterior pituitary which is an aldosterone inhibitor. I have taken this for over thirty years. R. Forbes D.M.D.
