Does someone you know have high blood pressure ?

[lucidity]

Hello Siblings,

The fact is, _most_ people will develop high blood pressure.
It occurs with an increasing frequency as we age.

You might have high blood pressure right now...
or you might be inching your way there.
Probably, you know several people who have high blood pressure.
There's no media hysteria about high blood pressure so people
don't realise that it kills more people than cancer.

High blood pressure leads to a range of problems which include
kidney failure, glaucoma and death by heart attack, brain damage
via stroke... etc.

There is a natural, diet-based solution to this lethal condition.
If you know what it is, you can make dietary decisions to make yourself
well again. If you know what this is, you can advise your friends
or family of how to correct this problem which.. if left to you doctor
will just result in a range of 3 to 6 drugs, that wont actually solve
the problem....they just make money for pharma companies.

Knowledge is power. So here is the solution:
Two videos below, the each last 5 minutes, they're both excellent.

The diet consists of fruit and rice.
A more modern version of this diet consists of fruit, vegetables and rice.

This diet brings high blood pressure down to normal healthy levels
in about 6-8 weeks.

be happy :-)

I agree with Beetroot for sure, and also know Cayenne pepper works well to lower blood pressure :)

high blood pressure is caused by a lack of water; it's that easy; most people don't drink enough water and are therefore dehydrated; even my Thai homeopath told me this

I can say this is absolutely not true as an umbrella statement for everyone to apply. I have always been a heavy water consumer but I've really paid attention to it for the last 10 years or more and I have had at least a 1/2 or a full gallon of pure water (Berkey-filtered rain water) every single day, without exception, and I have had elevated blood pressure for big stretches of that time. I don't take any pharma meds, I work on it naturally, but I can say with full confidence that if drinking enough water was the cure, I'd be on the poster for that ad...and I'm not.

10 ways to control high blood pressure without medication (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-pressure/in-depth/high-blood-pressure/art-20046974)

By making these 10 lifestyle changes, you can lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease.

By Mayo Clinic Staff

If you've been diagnosed with high blood pressure, you might be worried about taking medication to bring your numbers down.

Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure. If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you might avoid, delay or reduce the need for medication.

1. Lose extra pounds and watch your waistline

Blood pressure often increases as weight increases. Being overweight also can cause disrupted breathing while you sleep (sleep apnea), which further raises your blood pressure.

Weight loss is one of the most effective lifestyle changes for controlling blood pressure. Losing just 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) can help reduce your blood pressure.

Besides shedding pounds, you generally should also keep an eye on your waistline. Carrying too much weight around your waist can put you at greater risk of high blood pressure.

In general:
• Men are at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 40 inches (102 centimeters).
• Women are at risk if their waist measurement is greater than 35 inches (89 centimeters).

These numbers vary among ethnic groups. Ask your doctor about a healthy waist measurement for you.

2. Exercise regularly

Regular physical activity — at least 30 minutes most days of the week — can lower your blood pressure by 4 to 9 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). It's important to be consistent because if you stop exercising, your blood pressure can rise again.

If you have slightly high blood pressure (prehypertension), exercise can help you avoid developing full-blown hypertension. If you already have hypertension, regular physical activity can bring your blood pressure down to safer levels.

The best types of exercise for lowering blood pressure include walking, jogging, cycling, swimming or dancing. Strength training also can help reduce blood pressure. Talk to your doctor about developing an exercise program.

3. Eat a healthy diet

Eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products and skimps on saturated fat and cholesterol can lower your blood pressure by up to 14 mm Hg. This eating plan is known as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet.

It isn't easy to change your eating habits, but with these tips, you can adopt a healthy diet:

• Keep a food diary. Writing down what you eat, even for just a week, can shed surprising light on your true eating habits. Monitor what you eat, how much, when and why.
• Consider boosting potassium. Potassium can lessen the effects of sodium on blood pressure. The best source of potassium is food, such as fruits and vegetables, rather than supplements. Talk to your doctor about the potassium level that's best for you.
• Be a smart shopper. Read food labels when you shop and stick to your healthy-eating plan when you're dining out, too.

4. Reduce sodium in your diet

Even a small reduction in the sodium in your diet can reduce blood pressure by 2 to 8 mm Hg.

The effect of sodium intake on blood pressure varies among groups of people. In general, limit sodium to less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) a day or less. However, a lower sodium intake — 1,500 mg a day or less — is appropriate for people with greater salt sensitivity, including:

• African-Americans
• Anyone age 51 or older
• Anyone diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney disease

To decrease sodium in your diet, consider these tips:

• Read food labels. If possible, choose low-sodium alternatives of the foods and beverages you normally buy.
• Eat fewer processed foods. Only a small amount of sodium occurs naturally in foods. Most sodium is added during processing.
• Don't add salt. Just 1 level teaspoon of salt has 2,300 mg of sodium. Use herbs or spices to add flavor to your food.
• Ease into it. If you don't feel you can drastically reduce the sodium in your diet suddenly, cut back gradually. Your palate will adjust over time.

5. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink

Alcohol can be both good and bad for your health. In small amounts, it can potentially lower your blood pressure by 2 to 4 mm Hg.

But that protective effect is lost if you drink too much alcohol — generally more than one drink a day for women and for men older than age 65, or more than two a day for men age 65 and younger. One drink equals 12 ounces of beer, five ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor.

Drinking more than moderate amounts of alcohol can actually raise blood pressure by several points. It can also reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure medications.

6. Quit smoking

Each cigarette you smoke increases your blood pressure for many minutes after you finish. Quitting smoking helps your blood pressure return to normal. People who quit smoking, regardless of age, have substantial increases in life expectancy.

7. Cut back on caffeine

The role caffeine plays in blood pressure is still debated. Caffeine can raise blood pressure by as much as 10 mm Hg in people who rarely consume it, but there is little to no strong effect on blood pressure in habitual coffee drinkers.

Although the effects of chronic caffeine ingestion on blood pressure aren't clear, the possibility of a slight increase in blood pressure exists.

To see if caffeine raises your blood pressure, check your pressure within 30 minutes of drinking a caffeinated beverage. If your blood pressure increases by 5 to 10 mm Hg, you may be sensitive to the blood pressure raising effects of caffeine. Talk to your doctor about the effects of caffeine on your blood pressure.

8. Reduce your stress

Chronic stress is an important contributor to high blood pressure. Occasional stress also can contribute to high blood pressure if you react to stress by eating unhealthy food, drinking alcohol or smoking.

Take some time to think about what causes you to feel stressed, such as work, family, finances or illness. Once you know what's causing your stress, consider how you can eliminate or reduce stress.
If you can't eliminate all of your stressors, you can at least cope with them in a healthier way. Try to:

• Change your expectations. Give yourself time to get things done. Learn to say no and to live within manageable limits. Try to learn to accept things you can't change.
• Think about problems under your control and make a plan to solve them. You could talk to your boss about difficulties at work or to family members about problems at home.
• Know your stress triggers. Avoid whatever triggers you can. For example, spend less time with people who bother you or avoid driving in rush-hour traffic.
• Make time to relax and to do activities you enjoy. Take 15 to 20 minutes a day to sit quietly and breathe deeply. Try to intentionally enjoy what you do rather than hurrying through your "relaxing activities" at a stressful pace.
• Practice gratitude. Expressing gratitude to others can help reduce stressful thoughts.

9. Monitor your blood pressure at home and see your doctor regularly

Home monitoring can help you keep tabs on your blood pressure, make certain your lifestyle changes are working, and alert you and your doctor to potential health complications. Blood pressure monitors are available widely and without a prescription. Talk to your doctor about home monitoring before you get started.

Regular visits with your doctor are also key to controlling your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is under control, you might need to visit your doctor only every six to 12 months, depending on other conditions you might have. If your blood pressure isn't well-controlled, your doctor will likely want to see you more frequently.

10. Get support

Supportive family and friends can help improve your health. They may encourage you to take care of yourself, drive you to the doctor's office or embark on an exercise program with you to keep your blood pressure low.

If you find you need support beyond your family and friends, consider joining a support group. This may put you in touch with people who can give you an emotional or morale boost and who can offer practical tips to cope with your condition.

Re connect with citrus specifically buy some lemons squeeze the juice out and set aside for anything you wish..
NOW remove any seeds still in the squeezed out lemon halves, then cut up into small pieces. (lemon rind and pith contains 18% pure Vitamin C plus a whole lot of dietary fibre and other nutritional goodies)
Place the diced lemon skin and pith on a baking tray and dehydrate in the oven at 100 Celsius until they are crispy and fully dry
(DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO TURN UP HEAT THEY WILL BURN)

Once fully dry put into a coffee or spice grinder and grind to a powder.

Take 1 teaspoon per day in either muesli or porridge etc try to have NO added sugar with the powder.
(I personally put the powder into gelatine capsules much easier to swallow with water)

You are taking Pure Natural Vitamin C in its complex form NOT Ascorbic Acid which is only the outer layer of the Vitamin C molecule. Most pharm Vitamin C is only Ascorbic Acid... its often a synthesised version as well .


Since taking natural Vitamin C from lemon peel 1 capsule in the morning AND 1 at night before sleep I have dropped my Systolic pressure by 10 points...

Here are some references to peruse, there are SO many other advantages to doing this as well...

http://www.nutrition-and-you.com/lemon.html

Well worth watching this video to understand a lot about Vitamin C

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePzJbllNCPg

Cut your sugar intake down as much as you can and this includes carbs and with a 20 to 30 min walk daily the changes will be very noticeable within 1 week and onwards

So anyone over the age of 50 or overweight , working in highly stressed environment, working in public areas subject to catching colds flu etc easily DO THIS... its simple and works.... plus you have lots of lemon juice to try to figure out what to do with lol.

If you are too busy or even lazy to make the natural Vitamin C and need more advice PM me

Lucidity,
when you post such a statement - do you know at least one single person, who lost their high blood pressure with one of the two methods?
If so, please present the facts.

I have a very high blood pressure, and it can cause my death in some years, because my aorta has lost its inner membrane. Of course I already have applied a lot of methods from alternative medicine, but it is not enough. I still need medicaments, which are not so good for my other organs and well feeling.

So it is no fun for me, when the ultimate method to heal hypertension will not work.

What has worked in my case:

shizandra berries, 3 months, 100 berries per day (1 berry per kg body weight): about -15 mm Hg acchieved in 3 weeks, stable result for a year
shizandra is able to remove arteriosclerotic plaques from blood vessels, there are clinical studies
nattokinase (an encyme made from soya that resolves fibrine deposits in blood vessels): - 5...-10 mm Hg, when you take it at a daily dose
arginine is an amino acid, many people have a deficiency as a result of chronic inflammations, sometimes 3g argine a day help to lower blood vessel tensions
Arginine does not help when the body produces ADMA (asymmetric dimethyl arginine), which is another kind of arginine that is not able to release NO in the endothelial cells.
The mechanism is not fully understood.


All of this three methods are aiming at the blodd vessel tension and diameter, mostly in the very small blood vessels. So they help when arteriosclerosis is a cause or deficiency of arginine.

Of course there are so many more possible causes for high blood pressure, such as increased heart rate or malfunction of kidneys. I ask myself for which of these reasons your cures migh be the right treatment?
So, we need more information.

I will say it s the poison laced food that ccause high blood pressure. Never been diagnose wuith hbp in my entire lige althoug six of my six siblings has a bout one time or another. Parents also. Most of the cuasins aunts and uncles. It runs in the fa mily. I am tbhe anomally. I love fruits since was a child . It diferent for each person thouhg. You have to feel it for yourself what your body wants than follow all this publicixe diet. Everyone isb unique yoju have to find for yourself what suites you.
I will advice against seeing thr doctor unless its emergency. Thete sre many many herbs thst lower bp my favorite precription i s quitch grass

Hi Olaf,

Your question is asking me for evidence that this works...

If you had watched the videos... you would have access to all the
evidence you might reasonably need:

=> You could look up the scientific studies cited in the videos.
=> You could do your own research about Dr Kempner
=> You could google search 'Kempner Hypertension'

I created this thread in the hope that this information would
help people..... like you.

Your opening remark is simply unreasonable.
Olaf, do you personally know one person that's been eaten by a crocodile?
What makes you think that crocodiles eat people ?

If you had watched the videos you'd have seen the evidence published
in a series of scientific research articles.

Do you think eating a diet of rice, vegetables and fruit might be bad for you?

Why can't YOU be the person that i know that has been cured by this diet?

Take a sequence of blood pressure readings over a weekend 3, 5 or 7 readings.
Write these numbers down. Take the average.
Record the readings somewhere safe.

Eat nothing but rice, fruit and vegetables for 1 week.
No salt. No fat (except the fats naturally in the fruit and veggies)
and no processed foods, no convenience foods,... no alcohol.
Just rice, fruit and veggies.

The following weekend, take another sequence of blood pressure readings.
(3,5 or 7 readings, as previously). Take the average.
Record the readings somewhere safe.

Repeat for 6 or 8 weeks.

If your blood pressure hasn't come down by at least 50% of the distance
between your current readings and the 'hypothetical' norm of 120/80....
I'll show my backside to the Pope, singing 'Yanky Doodle...' whilst riding
a witch's broomstick .... stark naked (but i might keep my slippers on)

Do we have a deal ?

be happy :-)
