In modern medicine, they have their diagnoses - which are simply

descriptions of symptoms - hypertention - blood pressure is too high.

Because they have a name - hypertension - that is a diagnosis.

Because they have a diagnosis, the presume that that is the " root. "

End of story (to them). They have a drug that will lower blood

pressure, therefore, since the drug does that, the problem is

fixed...as long as you take the drug. Unfortunately, there are

usually many side effects (which are the body's way of telling you

this is not something it wants) to the drugs. Because of this, to me

it is obvious that they have not found and cleared the cause of the

hypertension, just found something that clears that symptom and gives

other symptoms.

 

Alternative health care seeks why the blood pressure is high,

addresses the core issue, and once that is found and cleared, then no

drugs or herbs or anything is needed. The disciplines I use in my

healing check through a tree of organs to find which ones are out of

balance, causing the high blood pressure. Once all the imbalances are

found and cleared, then normal blood pressure will be restored.

 

One of the biggest causes of high blood pressure is simply not

drinking enough water - dehydration.

 

That's just one sample of where the medical community is taught to

stop short of finding the underlying cause - they have a diagnosis,

and they have a treatment, therefore, they need not go further.
