Asthma
High Blood Pressure
Fructose (naturally found in fruit) breaks down into a variety of waste products that are bad for your body, one of which is uric acid. As it turns out, uric acid drives up your blood pressure.
Thanks to Dr. Johnson’s research, we now know that fructose generates uric acid within minutes of ingestion. High levels of uric acid are normally associated with gout, but it has been long known that people with high blood pressure and kidney disease, and people who are overweight, often have elevated uric acid levels.It was thought this increased uric acid resulted from the disease, but it appears now that it may have been CAUSING it!Not surprisingly, uric acid levels have been increasing for the past hundred years.When your uric acid level exceeds about 5.5 mg per dl, you have an increased risk for a host of diseases, including:
* Hypertension/High Blood Pressure
* Kidney disease
* Insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes * Fatty liver
* Elevated triglycerides, elevated LDL, and cardiovascular disease
* For pregnant women, even preeclampsia

* Increase your intake of animal-based omega 3 fats and reduce your intake of processed omega 6 fats
* Consider the hygiene hypothesis – There’s a tendency in our modern culture to be obsessive about cleanliness, but this may not be as healthy as initially thought. It appears that being exposed to common bacterial and viral infections as a child can be instrumental in providing the stimulus to your immune system to prevent asthma naturally.
* Get regular exercise – Exercise (especially out in fresh air if you’re an asthmatic) is actually crucial, as it helps to moderate insulin levels. It increases your insulin receptor sensitivity, and as a result your body produces less insulin, which tends to optimize it.
* Purify your indoor air * Avoid all commercial milk products. They are notorious for making asthma worse. If you consume milk at all, use only raw milk products from grass-fed cows, but even then be careful and take note of whether or not the raw milk is making your asthma better or worse.
* Eat foods rich in vitamin E. Much like vitamin D, higher vitamin E intake has also been associated with lower serum IgE concentrations and a lower frequency of allergen sensitization.
* Hydrate well. You will want to make sure you drink enough clean pure water to turn your urine a light color of yellow, as dehydration will clearly worsen asthma.
