DURHAM (AP) -- Garlic can reduce high blood pressure, according to research
conducted by a North Carolina Central University alumna and two NCCU
professors.
Doretha B. Foushee, Dr. John Ruffin and Dr. Umesh Banerjee said
that a garlic extract administered to hypertensive rats produced a
sustained decrease in blood pressure.
The report was given to the August meeting of the Botanical Society
of America and in an article in the British biomedical journal Cytobios.

Current opinion is running 4-1 for a new newsgroup called net.medicine
or net.med (if you do reply in the affirmative, you might want to give

more interest soon or I will drop the idea.
Thanks 4 ur time,
