When you're diagnosed with high blood pressure, 85% of the time, it's diagnosed as idiopathic hypertension, hypertension of an unknown origin.
You just woke up one day and for no apparent reason your blood pressure is skyrocketing.
And we did all of these exams on your heart, EKG, EEG, um, cardiac catheterization, heart sounds, lung sounds.
We can't find anything wrong with your heart, so we're gonna look at your family history.
Oh, look at that.
Your father's brother and your and your mother both had high blood pressure.
You have familial hypertension.
You have genetically inherited hypertension.
And we use this theme in type 2 diabetes, in drug and alcohol addiction, in depression and anxiety.
We use it in hypothyroid.
We use it in autoimmune because we are told that these travel in families and they are genetic.
Only the sad fact is that for the most of those conditions, that gene does not exist.
If you asked your your cardiologist when they diagnosed you with hypertension and said you have a family history of hypertension, and you just took it a step further and said, Okay, well, what gene did I inherit from my ancestor?
that caused that condition to exist.
That's when their face would go blank.
Because that chain doesn't exist.
We do not, with rare exceptions, and I'm happy to debate those exceptions, but there are very rare exceptions, we do not pass disease from generation to generation.
What we pass from generation to generation is an inability for the body to refine a raw material.
Which causes a deficiency which leads to that disease.
And that deficiency can be fixed.
