My thought is a simple thought that someone at my employer asked me and I have no clue how to answer it. They asked because I put up a few posters asking everyone to wear something “BLUE” tomorrow. And they ask – What is the “real” color for Diabetes Awareness?

1. Awareness sites say that GREY is the color

2. American Diabetes Association has everything in RED

3. World Diabetes Association has it all in BLUE

4. JDRF has everything in ORANGE

If someone says Breast Cancer, we automatically think PINK. So when someone says Diabetes, we think ,,,,,,,,,,what color?

Eye color and hypertension

Abstract

We searched for predictors of essential hypertension in 1,031 persons aged 30–49 who were observed to progress

from normotension to hypertension, as compared to an equal number of matched subjects who remained

normotensive. Blood pressure status was well documented in both multiphasic screenings and clinical records.

Compared to persons with each lighter eye color, those with brown eyes were more prone to develop hypertension,

with relative risk of 1.5 (95% confidence interval 1.18–1.96) compared to all persons with nonbrown eyes. The

association persisted after control for race, sex, body mass index, alcohol use, educational level, parental history of

hypertension, and among whites, for ethnic origin as crudely estimated by last name. Partial confirmation was

obtained in three largely independent study groups: 1) 25 pairs of eye-color-discordant dizygotic twins; 2) 894 pairs of

incident hypertensives and controls selected only with multiphasic screening blood pressure measurements; and 3)

cross-sectional analysis of 152,018 multiphasic screenees. The weak association of eye color with hypertension

clearly requires futher confirmation. Although it has little potential for use in screening or clinical care, it may have

implications regarding etiology. Areas for further exploration include the close metabolic relation of melanins to

catecholamines, both derived from the amino acid tyrosine, and the possibility that dark-eyed persons react more

quickly and strongly to stimuli than light-eyed persons.

Yet another form of "vibrational" medicine consists of the use of various colors for the specific therapeutic properties these colors emit. There are different ways to apply color therapy, including wearing clothing of a certain color, or assuming a relaxed or meditative state then imagining the color seeping into your body, or using thin colored pieces of plastic ("gels") over a light source in the home or office, such as a lamp. Colors reputed to benefit hypertension are:

lemon (helps to dissolve blood clots) and purple (helps to lower blood pressure by three pathways: vasodilation, slows heart rate, and helps to calm kidney and adrenals)

magenta (a cardiotonic; helps to build up and balance the functional activity of kidneys and adrenals) on chest and kidneys

indigo (an astringent, antipyic, antiemetic, and hemostatic) on whole body if tumors found in chromaffin system, or on kidneys if found in kidneys or adrenals

blue or green
