My research for a solution continued to prove futile. All I could get were drugs that are similar to the ones prescribed by the Doctor. I even asked my coursemates whose parents were Doctors, but none could give me any reasonable response or solutions. I was becoming frustrated, it felt like a wild goose chase. I began to think such solutions don’t exist, if they do Doctors would know about it. 

Thoughts began to run through my head, I wasn’t ready to lose my Dad, but reality was starting to stare me on the face. I could remember calling my Stepmom and crying my eyes out one particular night. I am Daddy’s little princess, but this little princess was watching her hero suffer, waiting for the worst to happen.

3 months later, I had given up the search for a solution. I had accepted that the Doctors recommendations and instructions are the best we have. All we can do is manage his condition, till this faithful day.

I got an invite from a coursemate about a seminar. She gave me a flyer, it was health seminar and it highlighted the different topics that will be discussed, Amongst those that were listed are Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis, Fibroids and more.

The seminar was to be held at Ikeja on Saturday. I was interested at first. She convinced me to attend, and I agreed to go, if not for anything, I needed leave my room or die of boredom.

It was the day of the seminar. An hour had past since it started. It was now time to talk about Hypertension. The person who spoke on the topic had mentioned everything I had discovered during my research, this sparked my curiosity.I was waiting to hear if she would profer a solution but, nothing of sort. That was one time I had thought that this seminar wasn’t a waste of time till the speaker ended it without saying anything I didn’t know before.

It was time for the last speaker, I had made up my mind to leave, but I heard the speaker say, all these diseases talked about today have remedies. Did I just hear him right? You needed to see the way I rushed back to my seat.

Let’s cut to the chase…

At this point, I started blessing the day I made up my mind to attend the seminar. What seemed to be a boring talk about some diseases became insightful. 

That moment changed everything. 

It presented me the opportunity to learn more about the solution that changed my Dad’s life.

I learnt that the body needs up to 275 nutrients to stay healthy. As we grow older, our bodies produce less and less of these nutrients. Infact, the levels of these nutrients begin to drop between the ages of 30 – 40 years, 40 years mostly.

One of those nutrients is called Nitric Oxide, a combination of Nitrogen and Oxygen.

Good number of studies as proven that Nitric Oxide helps soften the blood vessels to support good cardiovascular health.

It supports a strong immune system, especially important during the cold season.

Nitric Oxide promotes good sexual health, plays a role in healthy erectile functions.

When your circulation is working well, every part of the body functions properly.

Now the big question is how do we get these nutrients? 

The Truth is, we can’t go consuming Nitric Oxide from any source, instead the body producesd a substance called precursor – a nutrient needed to produce organin Nitric Oxide, but as we get older this nutrient becomes deficient in our system. But there is a remedy to that, that same solution helped my Dad and reversed his High Blood Pressure
