Need advice about high blood pressure

It is a pitty indeed...One thing I didn t mention is that hbp caused me enlargment of the heart walls.Hopefully it can get back to normal as far bp is not high and in all last special examinations I made the hurt shows to return to its normal size.It is not something to worry about but something to take care of...It might take a little though till it reaches to the point to get to the normal size again,perhaps one more year...My doctor said it is like a muscle of a hand.If you work it out too much in the gym it enlarges and when you stop working it out it gets back to normal size after some time.

Do you know guys what I feel I need most than all?Holidays!Most people connect holidays with pleasure and fun.I need it to rest and calm down.The last two seasons have been very difficult for me.I guess holidays would benifit me a lot.My doctor also recommended that.I hope I ll be able to do that soon.

Get a treadmill and WALK. Nothing and I mean no thing will work better. Start with 10 min. a day and work your way up- treadmills can be found at MOST yard sales! And you will create so many of the natural neurotransmitters- serotonin, norepinephrine, endorphins, etc. all to help the natural relaxors in your own body.

Then cut out all processed foods- ALL of them- especially SUGAR! Keep a food journal to REALLY see in front of your eyes what you are eating. Drink plenty of filtered water- NO carbonated water ever, as it forces the renal system to work overtime in addition to dragging your minerals out of your bones!

Diet- you know what you eat and often we eat to satiate unmet needs- fulfillment! Be very mindful of what enters your mouth. Think about Carbs, proteins and fats. Make them ALL COUNT! Get creative with cooking.

I completely understand about the job- but if you do good at it- think about that. Go home, leave the job there! OR, if you dare, do something else. I only say that due to the economy. Many, many people are stuck in positions that are not their true callings. Which by the way, explore that thought. If you cannot get paid for what you really want to be doing, do it anyway! As in a hobby.

Realize that you are a gift unto the rest of us. And a gift unto yourself. And know that your shoulders are not those of Atlas, he was a jerk anyway. Do not attempt to carry the bags of others, pack light and carry your own.

My blood pressure WAS 197/130 and now it is 127/68 AT night. In the morning it is 100/60- without anything from BIG Pharma!

You CAN do it. Please let me know how you do!

To Edgar and anyone else here who has Hypertension, do not take their medications that they give you, there is a reason it is called "Practicing Medicine" its because they really don't know. Hence the terrible side effects of their medications. I know that calls for a giant leap of faith for many of you but have faith and try what Edgar Cayce says..... EDGAR CAYCE'S PERSPECTIVE OF HYPERTENSION

The Edgar Cayce readings, while recognizing the wide variability associated with hypertension, consistently maintain that this disease most often can be traced back to patterns of poor circulation wherein the return flow of the blood to the heart is hindered. In other words, as the arteries carry the blood away from the heart to the various organs of the body and release the blood into the capillaries to nourish the tissue, engorgements and plethoric conditions in the capillaries and veins slow the blood flow as it is recycled to the heart.

Here are a couple of excerpts from the Cayce readings which describe the hindered circulation between the arteries and veins:

"As long as there's high blood pressure, as long as there's a tendency for the cells - in the change between the arterial and vein circulation so disturbed - to overflow at times (which IS the actual production or actual condition that produces pressure), under STRAIN there IS the possibility of a blood clot or cell breaking or forming - a bubble, see?" (389-2)

"The blood supply is high in the pressure. This is produced in the greater part by pressures that exist in the transverse and descending colon, and by too much flesh for the body-functionings - as through the abdominal areas....
(Q) Are the dizzy spells and headaches caused by any serious condition?
(A) Caused by this circulation that is so slow in returning to the activity of the central circulation - heart, lungs, liver, kidneys. And this produces, by this slow circulation, the extreme high blood pressure." (3525-1)

This pattern of hindered circulation was most often noted in the large intestine (colon) resulting in toxic conditions and poor eliminations which further increased the blood pressure.

"(Q) How can high blood pressure be reduced?
(A) This may be reduced by the deep manipulations and colonic irrigations. This, too, will rise again, but it can be kept down in this manner - as keeping off of meats of any kind." (3305-1)

"There is a subluxation in the 6th and 5th dorsal, as well as a condition out of alignment in the 9th dorsal.
These first produced tendencies for a disturbance in the circulation through the liver and the emptying of the stomach proper. This slowing of the lymph through the circulation in the abdominal area causes an engorgement in the ascending and a part of the transverse colon; of course, a form of prolapsus in the descending and a portion of the transverse.
This combination causes a high blood pressure, or metabolism as disturbed in the body. (2388-1)

Note the references to spinal problems and manipulations to correct these conditions in the nervous system in addition to the problems in the colon. The treatment recommendations which follow address both of these areas.

EDGAR CAYCE'S THERAPEUTIC MODEL

Recognizing the systemic effects involved in hypertension, the primary treatment modalities are comprehensive and address various aspects of the condition:

INTERNAL CLEANSING: Hydrotherapy includes drinking six to eight glasses of pure water daily, colonic irrigations (preferably) or enemas, and cleansing diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. Castor oil packs across the abdomen are recommended to improve eliminations through the liver and colon. Mild laxatives may be helpful if constipation is a problem.
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND MASSAGE: Osteopathic or chiropractic treatment is recommended to relieve any pressures that may be hindering circulation. Special attention is to be paid to the thoracic vertebrae (2nd to 9th thoracic) as this portion of the spine was often cited in the Cayce readings on hypertension. If osteopathic or chiropractic treatment is not available, the use of an electric vibrator along the spine may be helpful. Finally, gentle massage is suggested to relax the body and balance the circulation.
DIET: The Basic Cayce Diet is intended to improve assimilation and elimination. The diet focuses heavily on keeping a proper alkaline/acid balance while avoiding foods which produce toxicity and drain the system. Essentially, the diet consists mainly of fruits and vegetables while avoiding fried foods and refined carbohydrates ("junk food"). Certain food combinations are emphasized.
RADIAL APPLIANCE: The Radial Appliance is a subtle energy device frequently recommended by Edgar Cayce to balance the circulation and relax the body. Most people do not feel anything during a treatment session, but notice improved sleep and sense of well being with repeated use. Edgar Cayce emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive attitude while attached to the appliance and encouraged individuals to meditate during the therapy sessions.
MODERATE EXERCISE: Moderate exercise is an important aspect of balanced living. Walking was a favorite exercise recommended by Edgar Cayce for people suffering from high blood pressure. A daily walk after supper is a good place to start.
ATTITUDES AND EMOTIONS: The mental and emotional aspects of healing are frequently discussed the Cayce readings. Particularly, an attitude of desiring and expecting to be healed is important. A positive mental and emotional attitude and can be created and maintained by focusing on a high purpose (ideal) for being healed.

This sounds wonderful... are you really serious about this?

So your suggestion that helped you cure your HBP is walking,drink filtered water and no sugar?

The reason why I began this thread is because I want to stop taking HBP medication which causes me strong side effects and seek natural remedies to cure this problem.Yesterday though I restarted taking medication because without it my BP is about 110/160.I began a special diet since this August and I guess this will take some months to give results.

Do you think it s a good idea not to take medication with a BP of this range?Unfortunately apart from doctors also common people buy the idea that medication is absolutely necessary and should be taken forever.

Cease to put into your body those 'foods' that contribute to hardening of the arteries.
eg anything with trans fatty acids in it Google trans fats.
Eat butter, olive oil, research good oils.
Stay clear of any margarine or'butter blend' that comes in a plastic container.
Raise your heart rate for 10min each day.
red wine (alcohol thins the blood)
Fish oil (salmon) thins the blood.
Yes High blood pressure and stress appear to go hand in hand. Also, those who are under a stressful period usually have pisspoor diets consisting of manufactured foods prepackaged ready to go. Thats like having mum prep your meals for ya each night.
The difference being now, mum is an evil fukn bitch who only cares about taking as much out of your wallet for the least of outlays. And the quacks get to pick up the pieces by prescribing more mummy recommended cures in the form of pharmaceuticals, manufactured by evil fukn bitch companies whose only interest is to take as much as possible out of your wallet for the least amount of outlay.
One last thing, if your body is being fed shit, it is not possible for it to deal with a stressful situation as easily as if it was healthy. Vicious cycle, resulting in a head up ya arse death (not getting personal, an analogy), perpetuated by ignorance. Good to see you exploring healthy solutions and not relying on a governmental, legally defined word such as 'cure'.

Good oils.
Anything "COLD PRESSED IN A DARK BOTTLE OR TIN"
Extra virgin olive oil, cold pressed. (low heat cooking and salads)
Butter unsalted
Cold pressed grape seed oil (High heat cooking)
Sodium is now known as salt. It is not real salt.
Get down to the health food store and get yaself Himilayan rock salt. Has most minerals lacking from todays vegies coz of the depleted soil
Magnesium
Thats ya basics, start with that. Take the time to prep ya meals from scratch. The mindset of "oh, I dont have enough time" is bullshit.
If ya don't eat right, you willl die prematurely, how is that for not enough time?
It's blunt but true.
Here is a tidbit. When consumed, and with exercise, these fats and oils actually encourage the artery walls to become supple.
Ignore bullshit about cholesterol. Ya body needs it.
Trans fats coat the walls of the arteries, clogging and hardening, which results in a trip to the quacker to be prescribed blood pressure tablets and cholesterol lowering bullshit pills.

Here ya go

Yes you have received some very good information here - the magnesium worked for me. I took twice to three times the amount recommed on the bottle every day, then after one week I measured the difference. Came right down to 120/80 very good. Then I ran out of magnesium and did not get any right away. After about a week it started climbing up again so I bought some more magnesium and took it every day and it came back down. So now I take it every day.
ALSO PLEASE NOTE: LICORICE (THE BLACK CANDY) PANDA BEAR ETC. MAKES YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE RISE A LOT. YOU CAN EAT LICORICE TO THE POINT OF CAUSING A STROKE OR HEART ATTACK. SO BEWARE OF THAT. SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT. THE REAL LICORICE.

this mudra helps me relax more.

more bp mudra links. worth a try.

when you are on meds, it becomes non curable and instead it is a chronic disease so that health companies make more money. it's curable without meds.

cayenne will clean out your arteries, and avoiding anything that stresses you out is a must.
B complex and avoid salt until it comes back down.

google chinese medicine kidney meridian.

L-Arginine (an amino acid) is a precursor to NO (Nitric-oxide) which is a vasodilator which will lower your BP. Make sure to take it with an antioxidant like C or E.....

To add to post, apply "DASH" diet....

Switched years ago to all KCl. The extra potassium may have adverse reactions with certain medications though and I'd ask your doctor first. WebMD and other internet sites are not always a good source.

We get plenty of NaCl from daily food intake without sprinkling on more. The RDA or the RMDA for NaCl is in contention if KCl is used in its place. No call on it yet.

Interesting how our cells are more potassium based then sodium based. Both are salts.

Apple cider vinegar will do this as well. Don't forget to get iodine. Kelp pills or Lugol's - a couple of grams a day will really clear out those foggy mental processes, as well - don't believe the RDA on the back of the bottle.

Good advice AC! Thanks.

I competely agree with Anonymous Coward guy. The food industry created our addictions to the junk products that kill us slowly ( or quickly). To get the idea how to heal yourself, read the Schwarzbein Principle and Schwarzbein Principle 2 by Diana Schwarzbein. Another good book is Insulin: Our Silent Keller by Thomas Smith.
I had elevated blood pressure because of bad food choises and constant stress. It was not too high, but bad enough. Sometimes 160 / 90. The sources I mentioned gave me knowledge and to the motivation to eat well. My resting bp now is around 110 / 70 with no medications.

NO SALT

Salt has nothing to do with it. Get the RAVE Diet book and start on it immediately.

Natto is good for hbp? No kidding. I'll have to look that up.

My husband is having high blood pressure problems.
