Re: high blood pressure question

[Guest guest]

There are a few natural supplements that might help:

Mukta Vati (herbscancure.com) - myself and others I know have tried

this one and it did help my BP tremendously, but it effected my

sinuses too bad and I reluctantly had to discontinue it. I am aware

of others who have been using the MV successfully with no side

effects. Some people are more prone than others, such as myself.

Hyperexol - this is another natural supplement that others have used

for HBP. I tried it also, but I guess I was impatient becuse my HBP

numbers were ot getting as low as when I took the MV. There is also

a money back guarantee on this one.

Holistrol - I am presenttly testing this one and waiting see how it

does with my HBP. So far, no negative effects. This one has a money

back guarantee also.

You can google all of the above. I have no monetary interest in any

other them. I just want to share some of my experiences.

I also take daily other supplements that seem to help, i.e, l-lysine,

arginine, COQ10, garlic, cinnamon, resveratrol, Omega-3.

My husband has struggled with high blood pressure all his life. We

have tried many different treatments for it with little to no results. I

then heard about Aroma Life. I started him on 6-21-06 with the oil. We took

his blood pressure before and again after he oiled. It was 154/122, and

after it was 152/82. The results came in 5 minutes! So we started oiling 3

times per day. We forgot to do his blood pressure on the 22nd, but on the

following days they were:

6-23-06 : 159/94,153/93

6-24-06: 158/104,142/87

6-25-06:170/100,155/85

6-26-06: 149/104,132/62

6-27-06: 156/88,147/78

6-28-06:142/95, 143/77

6-29-06: 142/92,134/70

In 9 days of oiling his blood pressure had gone down -20/-52 points!

We are going to continue with the oil, but I am thrilled with the results

already!

My husband, Doug, has had borderline high blood pressure for a

number of years. A few times they have insisted that he take blood pressure

meds, which he did. He didn't like being on them and gradually got off of

them. He works out several times a week, plays squash and baseball; so he

gets lots of exercise which is how he has managed his blood pressure until

now. The bad thing is, it's always in the 'questionable' zone (the doctors

would rather he be taking BP meds).

Well, he has been drinking 4 ounces of NingXia Red for a couple

of months now (2 oz. in the a.m. and 2 oz. in the p.m.) and yesterday he

came in and said he had checked his blood pressure and it was 120/73. He

couldn't believe it and rechecked it four times. He hasn't had blood

pressure readings like that EVER!!!! He was so happy and said to me, 'Do you

think it could be the NingXia Red?' I said, 'It has to be. You haven't done

anything different but add that to your diet.' He is very excited, to say

the least, and so am I!!

Our eldest son, Mikol, no longer suffers with seasonal

allergies nor has needed an inhaler in almost three years (Sulfurzyme,

Valor, and Lavender)! Knowing what I know now, I would add NingXia Red Juice

to the mix. When diagnosed with migraines, high blood pressure, and high

cholesterol he chose to use Young Living supplements and therapeutic grade

essential oils. Using Berry Young Juice, Sulfurzyme, BodyGize, and

therapeutic grade essential oils such as peppermint, lavender, and Aroma

Life he has lost weight and no longer suffers with migraines, high blood

pressure, and high cholesterol. The last time we went to the kidney

specialist she said she bet against him when he stated he intended on taking

the " natural " approach to his health care - refusing to fill the

prescriptions she wanted to write. Now she believes!

Hi there:

I don't think too many people with Hypertension, can consume any kind of Salt

without making things worse, but I could be wrong. In the early days of treating

HighBP, it was found that just limiting Sodium (of all kinds) would do the trick

and for some people this is the answer, for others a Diuretic works very well.

So I would bet that Sodium (from the diet) is a major factor in Hypertension.

There is so much Sodium in our diet, that just having 2 slices of toast will add

greatly to your daily intake.

High Blood Pressure question

I have a friend, on meds with high blood pressure - the doc is now

recommending he take even more meds because he is still running high...he IS

open to alternative meds etc.

Besides using SeaSalt...anyone know of other things that could naturally

help lower it???? He does exercise, eats fairly well and if traveling and

eats things he would rather not have eaten, will do a lemon cleanse when he

gets home again.

Actually most people on here use Natural SeaSalt like Redmonds and find that

it lowers blood pressure - only table salt and the crap in food is bad for

us....

[Guest guest]

I humbly wish to jump in on the Hypertension and salt topic. Old school and

still not up to speed doctors will tell us to cut the salt.

What does that set us up for??? Well the heart runs on the sodium/potassium

pump. Cut the salt(sodium) and now the pump is being shorted one of it's

components and will not work well. Our electrolytes are imbalanced. The

body will not put up and cannot put up with this and will send a message to

the kidneys to conserve whatever salt/sodium it finds in the body. The

kidneys respond to this and starts to collect sodium. The amount of sodium

in the body is directly responsible for the hydration of the cells. Sodium

in the right amount controls the amount of fluid held in the cells and the

amount of fluid held outside the cells (interstitial).

Persons with pitting edema are screaming for the sodium balance to be

corrected so that the fluid balance can be adjusted. Back to the Kidneys

job. Fluid in the body follows the sodium. When sodium is cut out or

drastically curtailed the bodies ability to remain hydrated is jeopardized.

Drink as much water as you can and you will still be short of fluid it is

being sucked into the cells now to reside with the sodium that the body has

instructed the Kidneys to conserve. This includes the plasma fluid that

should be in the vascular system so now the system narrows to accommodate

the volume loss and the heart is required to pump harder and the blood is

thicker and pressure on the vascular system is further increased because of

the pitting edema and we have a round robin endless increasingly dangerous

trend setting up in the body. End results can be hypertension, congestive

heart failure, arthritis, bone loss, asthma and on and on.

I have lived this way for years. I than found Dr. F. Batmanghelidj's book

" Your Body's Many Cries for Water " . Within a few weeks I became enlightened

on the benefits of Himalayan Salt and Sea Salt if you prefer that. I would

encourage you all to run the scenario of the salt, kidneys, backwards. Add

salt that is gifted with the 84 minerals including the proper balance of

natural sodium and potassium and enough water to allow the kidneys to

filter, sort, recycle what they have to without hiding sodium in cells that

will now let the sodium free (sodium should not be in the cells but rather

outside the cell in the fluid that baths the cells) The person will flush

the edema, the fluid balance in the vascular system will be set as it

should, the vascular system will be able to relax/dilate thus easing

pressure.

It works. This is a very simple explanation of a very complex system, but

not so complex that some simple sensible adjustments may make the difference

for some of us between life and death.

We encourage each other in here to continue to accumulate knowledge. Let's

keep doing just that.

Google as much as you can and use what seems good after due diligence.

Any questions feel free to ask. I am not a doc, just someone that feels

there must be something better.

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Thanks for sharing your understanding of the matter. I highly appreciate your

patience to explain the importance of common salt in our body physiology and

systems.

From readings and knowledge in crop science, there should be a balance of

positively charged nutrients like K, Na, Ca, Mg and negatively charged ions for

our body systems to operate normally. Naturally, Cl ion, classified as one of

the natural elements together with carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, is a very

desirable balancing anion. In plants like coconut, aside from cell tissue

growth for normal leaf production, early flowering, nut production and

meat/kernel development, chlorine ( as chloride) helps in regulating the water

economy and transpiration (loss of water from the plant via the leaf stomata),

maintaining the required moisture or hydration of the whole plant.

In human beings, most likely the same mechanism happens. And I believe that

chloride (Cl ion) when combined with sodium (Na ion) produced a very reactive

compound NaCl (in the presence of water, Na and Cl ions easily forms) and can

move very fast in our body (when taken singly or with other food items), the way

the plant utilize it. However, it must considered that the judicious intake is

very important, be this plant or human beings. Excessive levels is always bad,

and therefore, the " rule of thumb " is moderation.

Cheers.

But how MUCH sea salt? I don't salt anything except when baking. The dr. says

I am the only person in his entire 30 year career that he's ever seen have low

blood salt. So that's bad. lol I asked him how much salt I should add, and he

says just a tiny bit. ???? (drs. are so vague) Maybe that is one reason for

my overweight?? Can anyone answer the question of how much salt is enough?

I have just read an article which described a trial for the successful

reduction of blood pressure. It involved Garlic and Vit.C

They trialled placebo, then C, then Garlic, then C+Garlic.

The C+Garlic was far and away the most successful. It is a non-drug

treatment and an easy thing to do.

Well,

It is a good question to google :]

www.healingnaturallybybee.com

is a very informative site, on it 'Bee' recommends a minimum of 1.5

teaspoons per day.

One suggestion is to start the day with half a glass of warm water and

fresh lemon juice with 1/4 tespn of (himalayan or celtic) Sea Salt.

This is an electrolite booster.

Adding seasalt to foods helps to absorb their nutrients.

I add 1/4 teaspn to my first bottle of filtered water for the day.

Just some ideas

This two-supplement combination

lowers blood pressure better than drugs

Blood pressure pharmaceuticals are among the most widely prescribed pills in

the country. They make billions in profits for their makers. It's an

incredible racket. They don't cure. They aren't designed to cure. They just

suppress. You have to take them for the rest of your life. But you don't have

to.

There are better alternatives.

A small study of just six people showed that vitamin C and garlic lowered

hypertension better than either one alone. All six participants started with a

blood pressure of 140/90. The researchers gave each of them four 10-day

treatments. The first treatment was a placebo. Next came vitamin C at a dose of

2,000 mg per day. Then they gave them three garlic tablets daily (650 mg

daily of bulb powder). And, finally, they gave them both vitamin C and garlic.

Their findings are impressive, but not for vitamin C alone. It had no

discernable effect. Garlic alone, on the other hand, reduced systolic (the

higher

number), but not diastolic (the lower number) blood pressure. The real results

came with the vitamin C and garlic combination. It reduced systolic and

diastolic blood pressure to a healthy range (110-120 over 75-80).

But that's not all they found. Garlic supplementation alone induced a

twofold increase in endothelial cell (the cells that line your blood vessels)

nitric oxide production. Compared to a placebo, garlic plus vitamin C induced a

stunning threefold increase! The authors concluded that the increase in nitric

oxide (NO) might explain the improvement in blood pressure.

You've heard a lot about NO lately. It's a very short-lived beneficial free

radical. Yes, a beneficial free radical. It dilates your blood vessels. You

know about Viagra. It increases the life span of NO by inhibiting the enzyme

that destroys it. The excess NO helps dilate vessels and reverse erectile

dysfunction - at least temporarily.

But now it seems that you don't need Viagra to increase your nitric oxide. A

naturally occurring food - along with a little help from vitamin C - does

it for you. Furthermore, garlic increases NO production in your endothelial

cells. That means that it's improving endothelial cell function and

performance. Endothelial dysfunction is where atherosclerosis and hypertension

begin.

When endothelial cells are breached, oxidized fats, toxins, and inflammatory

cells move in, creating and promoting plaque.

Garlic is also known to have significant antioxidant effects. It naturally

thins your blood with no risk of bleeding (like coumadin does), improves lipid

function and metabolism, and reduces your risk of arterial plaque formation.

All of these effects could help reduce your blood pressure and improve

endothelial function.

If you have hypertension, consider the above amounts of garlic and vitamin C

as supplements. Even better, I suggest you eat one to two cloves of raw

garlic per day. Raw garlic will have all the components of garlic that might

otherwise be lost in the processing of a supplement. I get mine in my daily

homemade salad dressing, which I'll tell you about in a future issue of Second

Opinion.

Please pass this information on to any friends or family who might have high

blood pressure. And encourage them to sign up for these Second Opinion

Great Idea and sounds yummy. To save time and trouble I peel

several bulbs at once and place the cloves in a pint jar- cover

with vinegar either raw or pasteurized- they both work for this

purpose. Anyway the jar sits out on the counter so I have fresh

cloves readily available - grab one on the fly and just chew.

Be aware that if the garlic is really potent, they will turn blue

green at least partially in the beginning, but as time goes on

that color fades - has something to do with the amount of sulphur.

Google Blue Garlic and you will find numerous articles speaking of

this issue- they all say its harmless.

Next time I will try CS and see what happens. Raw garlic is very

much our friend.

Well on the adrenal’s forum they recommend taking 1 – 2 tsp of sea salt

daily along with a high dose of Vit C….!!! for awhile there I was being

really good about getting my salt in – I would add it to fruit juice drinks

– made them taste like Margarita’s!!! lol

I replaced all the regular salt in my house with sea salt – I did lose about

5 lbs in 2 weeks – got rid of the fluid retention.

I would start out slow with a ¼ tsp a day and move up and see how you

feel……..

I’m not sure if you need to take the Vit C with it if you do not have

adrenal problems…….but a lot of thyroid people end up have adrenal

problems……….many of us never knew it – the doc don’t talk about it…….

Oh forgot to mention - you can buy empty capsules to help get the salt in -

especially if you don't like " salty " stuff. You'll just be amazed at how

much more hydrated you feel.

I add REALSalt to my freshly distilled water for drinking. Yes its

SALT: Sea salt is best: highest mineral content. When you add salt to

water, use a measuring teaspoon. The rule of thumb is 1/8 teaspoon for

every 16 oz.; 1/4 teaspoon for every 32 oz (1 quart); 1/2 teaspoon for 64

oz., or 1 full teaspoon for 1 gallon. (Some people will need less salt,

others more). This is a starting point, not a set rule. You can just add

the salt to your food or add the salt to the water and shake or stir it.

The best way is to just throw the salt into your mouth and chase it with

water.

this is taken from the watercure2.com site.

I am presently drinking half my weight in oz of water, and I do salt my

food etc with Real Salt, and I had a hard time drinking that salty of water

so I cut the salt in half.

Our naturpath has said that you can drink a lot of water, but your body

doesn't hydrate unless it has some salt in it.

so presently, I am doing 1/4 tsp per 64 oz of water. The site also says to

divide the amount you need to drink into 5 or 6 times a day, and drink that

amount within a couple minutes, do not just sip it. I set my timer for

every 2 hrs and drink it down.

Someone wrote below here HIGH DOSE VITAMIN C. My question is HOW HIGH is the

daily dose you take?

Thanks,

Re: High Blood Pressure question

Make that Raw Garlic and Vitamin C, right Rich?

I think one clove should do the trick.

I take high dose Vitamin C and don't have high blood pressure.

The C+Garlic was far and away the most successful. It is a non-drug

treatment and an easy thing to do.
