NATURAL CURES FOR HYPERTENSION(HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
Hi everybody, and thank you for taking the time out to read this. I notice many GLPers are very informed with regards to natural remedies,hence posting here.
Today I happened to be with my 71 year old mother at her GPs. It was for a review of her prescription meds. Her blood pressure had risen since her last check, and the doctor suggested increasing her medication. My mother eats healthly, is an active person yet since being prescribed these various medications for the usual elderly complaints (such as high colesterol and blood pressure),has developed allergies and other unwanted side effects. She is reluctant to take any more meds since she feels she is on enough-and she is!!
Does anybody know of any good natural treatments for high blood pressure? I heard maybe clove oil? but am sure there must be loads out there? Any suggestions are greatly recieved at this time since I can see her health and passion for life slowly but steadily deteriorate in front of my eyes, the longer she is taking these prescription meds. thanks, with love x x x

Prescription meds are killers. Go to a patient forum sometime and read from the patients themselves what they do.

I am not saying that prescription meds are killers in all cases.


I won't offer any advice but I believe if people got off "meds" they will live longer and be healthier.

Try earthclinic for advice.

Whatever you do, coordinate it with the health care provider. Getting her off the meds without tapering them down can cause rebound hypertension that can lead to hypertensive crisis...these episodes are known to cause strokes, especially in the older population.

Re: NATURAL CURES FOR HYPERTENSION(HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
I have been off BP meds after 30 years just recently. I pushed my doctor as the meds I was taking were low enough and I was doing pretty well. I also suspected a side effect from the beta blocker and wasn't willing to live with it. So Doc said STOP!

Cool!

I am a big researcher, so this is what I have discovered - and taking or doing......


Breathe Easy: [link to www.control-your-blood-pressure.com]

If my BP rises, I do a few minutes of deep breathing and the BP diminishes. Nitric Oxide (breathing from nose deeply) helps to open your blood vessels causing your BP to decrease. I highly recommend this.


Other supplements, but not the only ones.....

Hawthorne - research supports this!

Cocoa supplements

Omega 3

CoQ10



I looked at apple cider vinegar, but there is no supporting evidence of it. It is bad on your teeth as well.

I am also starting sound therapy to maintain a level BP as I no longer take RX drugs! I am excited about this one!!! [link to www.universalsoundtherapy.com]

Hope this helps!

Re: NATURAL CURES FOR HYPERTENSION(HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
Unfortunately we cannot help your mother. Your mother is not on here looking for answers, you are.

There are numerous studies showing a direct relation to our sodium intake and hypertension. That is a long term cause-effect. Salt has been added to all processed foods and canned foods. All that needs to be avoided/eliminated. This means switching to dried beans instead of the canned beans, ect.

Just having more vegetables less meat and fat helped me reverse HBP, as well as throwing the salt shaker away.

There is a crash dietary cure for HBP & diabetes that involved a rice diet for 3 days. Another uses melons. N othing but rice or melon. Melon may not be advised for the diabetic. Saw those diets in a video and can't confirm with a link, you may check around.

I just changed my diet to more plant based and eliminated the salt. Took about 2 to 4 weeks and all normalized.)

Yeah, wean off the meds, Start with 2 to 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water twice a day. You'll see dramatic improvement in a month. Use Heinz vinegar, for some reason Bragg's doesn't work as well, even though it tastes better. Add an equal amount of honey to the vinegar before adding water to make it tasty and add the health benefits of honey. Kelp based Iodine pills couldn't hurt either.

After the pressure is brought down, just have a glass with breakfast.

As far as the comment about having the "Mother" in it - I actually have found the opposite. The Heinz vinegar in the glass bottle is the very best and I've tried them all.

Good Luck and all the best to you, Op.

Re: NATURAL CURES FOR HYPERTENSION(HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
Here is a clue, 1 out of 7 people have high BP, the other 6 probably have never had it tested.
Everyone's BP is different, the Pharma companies run a moving average on a group of peoples BP and tell us that's what its supposed to be.
Most people have some high BP and live long lives and die of old age.
The fact is if your BP is outside the moving average that big pharma says, then they make a hell of a lot of cash selling you the "treatment".
They say high BP is a risk factor for heart disease/attacks?
What exactly is a risk factor anyway? You know what it is?
It means they don't have any definitive proof having high BP does anything at all so they cant say "it causes it".
So they make up the term "risk factor", because it makes them loads of cash without having to prove anything.
Its up to you, believe big pharma or not.
But generally anywhere you find billions in profits it tends to be bullshit.

Change your DIET.

Raw diet will reduce your bp to normal levels within months.

I did and went from the threat of BP medication to a fantastic bp of 110/70 by changing my diet. My doctor was ecstatic.

Throw out anything with unpronounceable ingredients that you find in your cupboard, Just do it. Your heart will love you for it.

Re: NATURAL CURES FOR HYPERTENSION(HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
I have been trying many natural things to normalize my blood pressure

ACV
garlic
vitamin d3 and K2
coconut oil
cayenne pepper

so far the thing that helped most was adjusting the

Potassium / Sodium ratio.

Research shows that a diet that is low in potassium and high in sodium is associated with an increased risk for high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and early death.


I eat a lot of raw produce and use use sea salt. I have reduced it, but that didnt seem to help. So...

I am slowly increasing my potassium intake - more potassium rich foods and a few shakes of Morton's salt substitute (potassium chloride).

Immediately I noticed my thinking was clearer - recall was instant instead of waiting for my brain to remember someones name.
And my blood pressure is back in the normal range - even on the low end (of normal) in the middle of the night if I wake up to check it.


Low potassium (or imbalance of potassium / sodium)
causes or contributes to
brain fog
heart palpitations
muscle cramps
high blood pressure
fatigue
dizziness
under eye bags


I have read several different ratios,
4 potassium to 1 sodium
or double the potassium to the sodium

If you have any of the above symptoms, gradually adjust the levels and see what works for you.

1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Mix it up and drink it 1 to 2 times per day.


Also switch to Pink Himalayan Salt as opposed to normal table/cooking salt. If you mom uses any salt for cooking or adds to food on her plate.

Most people are potassium deficient -
you need 4700 mg every day
THIS IS A HUGE AMOUNT
7 to 10 cups of vegetables - who eats that much?!

and it needs to be in balance with the other electrolytes.
4 times as much potassium as sodium

Most people dont even get half the amount of potassium they need

I just started sprinkling a very small amount of Mortons Salt Substitute on my food (potassium chloride) -
my blood pressure has been in the normal range ever since.

Re: NATURAL CURES FOR HYPERTENSION(HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
Easy,

Cut down on salt, caffeine, and drink lots of water.

Also eat lots of potassium so your body doesn't try to hold on to salt.

Yes potassium deficiency causes you to retain salt and yes 90% of people in the west are deficient.

Your doctor won't tell you this.


I'm 35 years old and my blood pressure is 95/58 with a resting pulse rate of 55.


INB4 some fat fuck who thinks he's a healthy weight comes in and tells me that my BP and pulse are too low.


An added bonus of doing these simple things are.

Increased energy, I can run circles around anyone..

Anyone.

Except some steroid filled elite athlete or some shit.


I just fucking till an entire lot by hand with a hoe. The ground is rock solid were talking the California central Valley here.

I literally have the energy of a teenager. Probably even more.

Thanks AC that was a good video! It has always been a bit against my grain to limit salt, (since you need it to make things like the acid in your gut) but I do see that you need balance with potassium. It makes sense.

And now maybe I'll eat more vegs!
