If you’ve gone on blood pressure medications after 2020, it may make sense to wonder if the Spike Protein could have assisted in creating your high blood pressure. I have a free download, The Key to Unlocking the Spike Protein. This report can help you better understand how symptoms might present if the Spike Protein could be involved. To get that download, click here.
But for now, let’s look at the research on how the spike protein is causing high blood pressure.
ACE2 RECEPTOR, THE GATEWAY TO THE SPIKE PROTEIN’S IMPACT ON THE BODY
The spike protein is a piece of the Covid-19 virus. It is only a tiny spike on the virus’s surface. And for being so tiny, it packs a punch. This spike protein attaches to parts of your body known as ACE2 receptors. These receptors help keep your body balanced – unless the spike protein gets involved. The spike protein uses them like keys to enter your cells. When the spike protein does that, it causes trouble.Â
The spike protein can find ACE2 receptors all over the body. The receptors are in the lungs. The receptors are overexpressed in the lining of the intestines and gut. You’ll find the receptors in the pancreas, the kidneys, the heart, the throat, and the blood vessels[1].Â
The spike protein attaches to and enters human cells, primarily through binding with ACE2 receptors. Once the virus infects a cell, it replicates and releases new virus particles, including spike proteins.
Initially, it affects our respiratory system, making breathing hard and causing lung inflammation. The spike protein from the virus or vaccine can move throughout the body[2]. Research has proven some of the spike proteins created from the infected cells move into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body.Â
IMPLICATIONS FOR BLOOD PRESSURE REGULATION
This ACE2 receptor has all these functions that help keep your body in balance. One of the functions is keeping your blood pressure in balance. It does that by breaking down a protein called Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is responsible for contracting the blood vessels, which causes blood pressure to increase.
When the spike protein binds to an ACE2 receptor, that receptor is no longer available for other functions like breaking down Angiotensin II. This binding to the ACE2 receptor is called downregulation of the ACE2 receptors. Downregulation means the ACE2 receptor is not available for everyday bodily functions.Â
If the spike protein combines with enough of the ACE2 receptors, Angiotensin II can be left in the bloodstream causing constriction of the blood vessels. When our blood vessels contract, it is more difficult for the blood to get through the blood vessels, increasing blood pressure [3].Â
OTHER WAYS THE SPIKE PROTEIN CAN DAMAGE THE HEART AND CHANGE BLOOD PRESSURE
Downregulation of the ACE2 receptor, or the binding of the spike protein to the ACE2 receptor, is one way the spike protein can increase your blood pressure and damage your heart. But it’s not the only way.Â
Researchers studied how the Covid-19 spike protein damages the heart. To investigate the impact of the spike protein on the heart, researchers infected lab mice with the Covid-19 spike protein. The results showed that the Covid-19 spike protein activated the natural immune response in heart muscle cells and damaged the heart. They found that spike protein caused heart dysfunction, hypertrophic remodeling (enlargement), and cardiac inflammation.
Zhiqiang Lin, Ph.D., lead author of the study and an assistant professor at the Masonic Medical Research Institute in Utica, New York said, “We found direct evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) spike protein is toxic to heart muscle cells [4].”Â
The study provided two pieces of information. First, the spike protein does not bind to the ACE2 receptor in mice. Even without binding to the ACE2 receptor, the Covid-19 spike protein injured the heart. That proved the spike protein had multiple avenues to damage the heart. Second, the study also identified the Covid-19 spike protein’s ability to damage and inflame the heart muscle as a unique ability. If the spike protein was a super-villain, this would be one of its super powers.
THE SPIKE PROTEIN’S SILENT THREAT
When treating high blood pressure through regular, Western medicine, you will get medications to stop the symptoms of high blood pressure. But, if the cause of high blood pressure is partly due to the spike protein, can you just suppress the symptoms of high blood pressure? Will that be enough to repair your health?Â
It might not be enough and may highlight a weakness of Western medicine when addressing the aftereffects of the spike protein. Historically, pharmaceuticals have been about suppressing the symptoms. That has worked in the past because disease progression has been slow. It took many decades to cause terminal damage to your body and organs. By then, many have lived a whole life into old age.
The spike protein is different. Unlike the flu or cold, which causes an infection in the body and the body recovers, the spike protein creates an infection and causes damage like disease. Research has shown the spike protein causes damage to the brain, the lungs, the gut and intestines, the blood vessels, and the heart. You can look at any body part and find research showing how the spike protein has damaged that area.Â
The flu or cold infects cells, and the body’s immune response attacks the cells and eliminates them. The spike protein, this small piece of the virus, does more than infect the cells. It creates damage to the body and your organs, like a disease. It fights back against your immune system, causing things like your heart to enlarge [4] or damage to the brain [5]. Unless eliminated, the spike protein will continue to cause damage like a disease.Â
And it is reasonable to believe that the spike protein would eventually disappear from the body. Yet, today our wastewater treatment facilities indicate there is always a chronic, low-level spike protein in the environment[7]. In addition, new variants and their improved ability to transmit the spike protein circulate every two-three months. The spike protein is not just virus created. More and more scientific research shows the vaccine-produced spike protein causes similar harm. That suggests there is always spike protein in the background.Â
SPIKE PROTEIN’S PROGRESSION & HOLISTIC SOLUTIONS
The science is very clear on how the spike protein causes progressive damage in the body. The protein seems to like to go to your weakest area and help make that area more vulnerable. Because it’s a progression of symptoms you already have, it’s easy to disregard the damage the spike protein is doing in your body. The problem with that solution is the spike protein may be causing your diseases to progress much more rapidly.Â
Is there an option? It may make sense to do things to help you push the spike protein out of your body. It may make sense to add in holistic solutions you can do to help protect your body from the environmental load of spike protein. By engaging in a detox program, like Health Hub where you can learn about diet, supplements, herbs, or lifestyle changes, you can help your body flush out toxins and waste products from the spike protein.

Good luck and you are not alone.Â
