Ruptured aneurysm stroke and heart attack is known to be the result of LOW MINERALS. Copper and zinc in particular. The same deficiency is also the cause for saggy skin, varicose veins, Hemorrhoids. The condition is diagnosed, prevented and cured in livestock but in human modern medicine the tendency is to treat the symptoms and not to cure the disease. More money for hospitals and insurance companies that way. Check out "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" by Dr. Joel Wallach. It's all over google and youtube.
