Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 hi, are you sure it was 84/145, or was it 145/84. if it was the first, 84/145, they should have hospitalized you. that means your heart is not heard resting until 145, and it is beating at 84, i believe. that is a very dangerous read, have it checked again. sometimes hawthorn is helpful. i have used: garlic and cayene; red clover and dandelion and garlic. did you read their catalogue? i have found it to be very helpful. how are you sleeping, lack of rest/sleep can also elevate your blood pressure. even being vegan, maybe you should watch how your food is being prepared, how you are combining you foods, and your lifestyle. there are some organic truths about aging, one is the loss of elasticity in the veins and arteries. have you tried meditation, deep breathing, tai chi, prayer? i hope i have helped in some way.

My blood pressure reading was 84 over 145 this morning. MY age? I am 65 years old. P.S. Hi, I wonder how high was your cholesterol? If there are any heart issues? And, do you have many new stresses/ irritations/ fears/ angers in your life right now? The reason I ask is because during my divorce my blood pressure was 180/150. And it was steady no matter what I took or did. It was a fight or flight response to a perceived (and real) threat of losing my children and property. Fortunately, it is more " normal " now. Sometimes, high blood pressure is literally " in the mind. " I think your diet and vitamin regime are fantastic and congratulations. I dislike doctors, too (no offense to any reading now). Because of the high cost of everything!!! And how I am treated because I have never been able to afford insurance. (To me, it has always cost more than double than the care I needed and then I would stress with the insurance companies willingness to pay). Try to spend more time in nature, looking up at the sky, and in prayer. This seems to be the answer for me... In addition, I go to a wonderful chiropractor who practices the very gentle Goland? method, using computers, xray, and minimal adjustments. It has been very effective for me. Chronic pain can be a cause of high blood pressure. I always come out feeling renewed and reinspired to respect and take care of my miraculous body.

What is best herb to lower blood pressure? < I have or should I say had the early signs of high blood pressure. I was 135 over 80. I did a little research and found I was NOT drinking enough water and as NOT taking enough calcium. After experimenting with these they actually did work for me. Calcium helps to lower or rather regulate blood pressure. Do some research on it. But you might want ot get the capsules of calcium. And try to find calcium with magnesium and Vit. D in it. Those help the body absorb the calcium. My body was one of those bodies that does not retain the calcium it gets, so I have to take some in the morning and some in the evening; both with food. I do hope this helps. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Drinkig water is always good. Most do not drink enough. Calcium will help but I would take it in a herb form, not OTC pills. Herb good for HBP are, hawthorn berry, garlic, linden, yarrow, and wood betony. Herbs high in calcium are, red aspberry leaf, alfalfa, oatstraw, nettles, horsetail, barley greens, black cohosh.

Your blood pressure seems to be hovering right at the top of the normal scale. I was having issues with mine at the same sort of range. When I went for my physical, it was 148/80, and the doctor was really concerned about it. She had me monitor it for 6 weeks. My median blood pressure is 128/80, although at the doctor's office it is always just a little high. After looking at my blood pressure diary, the doctor concluded that I had white coat hypertension. Personally, I wouldn't start taking supplements to lower your blood pressure just yet. I'd start with my diet and elminate as much sodium as possible. Sodium intake and exercise can make a difference, especially if your blood pressure is borderline as yours seems to be. Just reading the sodium content on the food labels and choosing items that are lower in sodium can make a measurable difference. Finding ways to reduce stress, and getting exercise, drinking enough water, and sleeping 7 to 8 hours a night will go even farther toward stabilizing blood pressure as well as increasing your overall health. Maintain your blood pressure diary and consult with your doctor in a few weeks. I just bet he (or she) will be pleased with your result and tell you to keep up the good work.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I am new to acupuncture, and I wish some of the more experienced practitioners would answer this sort of question. I have similar patients, and would like to hear others experiences. I, personally am most interested in the clinical aspects of TCM, but many times these types of questions go unanswered. This is a tough case for an allopathic physician, and I think a perfect candidate for treatment with both TCM and allopathy. It would be so nice to see the two dove-tail. I wonder specifically if any of our western diagnostic tests might be interpreted from a TCM point of view. What medicines is this patient taking? A diuretic,ACE inhibitor, coumadin, lipitor?? What are some of her other symptoms, cold, thirsty, urination pattern, mental state, sleep pattern? Who is will to explain the pathophysiology of her kidney and heart in TCM terms? Sounds like she is developing CHF, which is now being recognized as a neurohormonal condition. Funny how acupuncturists keyed in to this connection so many years ago, although they called it Qi, Yang, Yin and such. In this patient, there is a Kidney Yang deficiency as with many " old age " conditions. " The Heat of the Gate of Vitality is essential to transform fluids in the Lower Burner. If the Gate of Vitality Fire is weak, the Lower Burner and Bladder will lack the Heat necessary to transform fluids: these will therefore accumulate giving rise to Dampness or oedema. " (The Foundations of , Giovanni Maciocia. Tonifying the kidneys with Du-4 to strengthen the Fire of the Gate of Vitality promoting transformation of water, BL-23 tonifies Kidney- Yang, BL-22 transform fluids in Lower Burner, Sp-6, SP-9 to resolve dampness in Lower Burner, CV-4 and CV-6, KI-3, KI-7 all to tonify Kidney Yang. But this patients condition is more complicated still, with hypertension, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, bladder infections. The kidneys nourish the bones and the osteoporosis is understandable in this regard. I don't think western doctors have made the connection between kidney weakness and osteoporosis yet, although I suppose the ovaries could be considered part of this system and that connection has been explored. I would enjoy hearing others evaluation of this patient. Again, I am a newby interestd in promoting discussion on clinical issues.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Dear Mary, Thank you so much for taking your time to reply to me! I appreciate your kindness. Yesterday, my doctor at Jefferson hospital (I don't trust doctors 100% but sometimes we need them) said my blood pressure is not high. When he checked, my blood pressure was 130. Yes I be careful to read the label and check how much salt is in food I buy, I drink water even when I don't feel thristy, eat garlic, onion, grapes, celery, and oat meal every day. Most importantly I walk about 3 miles almost every day and swim least 3 days a week. I was so used to use lots of soy sauce and salt before I realized my blood pressure is high but now I try to eliminate salt as much as I can. Only problem is without using salt, I cannot enjoy taste of my cooking. Is there some good idea to enhance taste without using salt? How do you cook without using too much salt?

Then, taste before you salt your food. You may be surprised at what actually tastes much better now without salt at all. Steamed carrots was the one thing that surprised me the most. Another thing to do is to try some different herbs and salt-free herb blends to season your food. I prefer a mixture of garlic powder and cayenne pepper on most of the food I eat. A little lemon juice over steamed veggies, fish, or chicken is pretty yummy, too. In time, you will be so sensitive to the taste of food with less or no salt, that traditionally salty foods will be overwhelming to you.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Thank you for your reply. I chop up garlic and eat every day. Oh, I hate taste of raw garlic and only way for me to avoid tasting is to chop up raw garlic in very small pieces. This way, it is not necessary for me to bite and taste garlic. Yesterday, I went super market and got juice of Chinese apple and I start drinking. I also ordered concentrated juice of Chinese apple on internet yesterday. My bp was 140 this morning but get higher later. I still think walking for one hour is very effective to lower bp. , arneither thomas-neil <ahntdada wrote: > > yes. my family and I were talking about that. there seems to be a new buzz word for a dis-ease, that can only be helped by pharmaceuticals. lower that number increases the affected population. more folk for the dr. to prescribe drugs to, more money for the drug companies. > i take garlic oil capsules. > > O'Conchubair <RNMSW wrote: > > > Physicians lower the numbers for various tests; for example, BP, > cholesterol.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Having 3 kids with autism certainly has to be a stressor. There are many succesful strategies to reduce their stress and hence yours. There's been lots of research in that direction; and I have seen many of those simple things actually work. One of the things that has helped is scheduling quiet time or quiet place sometime each day, even if that is getting up an extra hour earlier or getting away or sitting in a closet. Knowing that I have that time to escape and recharge is important. That is also, coincidentally, something that most folks with autism benefit from; a place or time to get away from everything..sometimes even a converted closet, or a space behind a bed. A quiet space that one can escape too,a moment or two of complete freedom from any " have to's " an island of peace is something that you need too. Its also someting that those who have high blood pressure or any other form of stress or illness need: a quiet way to escape the chaos and burdens and pressures, if for just a while; and then again. I have posted before about my own personal health regime- and I do have that tendency to hypertension. But also we have a tendency to look at herbs and minerals etc in the same manner that we look at pharmaceuticals: as substances we " take. " I look at these things rather as simply elements of a successfully integrated healthy lifestyle. Thats the goal, where you have everything in balance- within and without the body; and garlic, veggies, or supplements are all part of a coherent pattern of things we do routinely to maintan our health and vitality. I like what Jack Lalaine says in this regard; and think his healthy longevity is a proof of his words. Trouble nowadays, is that Doctors are afraid to tell a patient to " take garlic (lots of it), Niacin , and Hawhorne; and eat grapefruit, oatmeal, brocolli, bananas,fruit, cabbage; leave the salt shaker alone; get some routine excercise or physical activity going, and get away from the stress regularly some how. Drink tea instead of coffee ( the real kind); dont drink booze. Be reasonable with your lifestyle " because they couldnt prove any of that directly impacts the patients health- if they are sued. But those things are common sense; so instead they give you more pharmaceuticals poisons that they can document supposedly work- because the pharmaceutical companies funded the studies to prove they work... Michael On Behalf Of Melinda Wednesday, January 03, 2007 10:48 AM High Blood pressure Moderator's note- we are not here to diagnosis or treat. Please, instead, ask for where to research to learn more about high blood pressure. Hello!! Is there any hope for people with high blood pressure? I take toprol XL everyday and if I dont my pressure is so high. I have been eating only organic for about 4 months now. I also threw out all the crapola food and only cook everything homade I take everyday-- Vit E 200 mg Coral calcium 420 mg x's 2 vit c 500 mg Female balance - for prememopause progest cream- same thing flaxseed oil caps vit a 250 iu vit d 500iu vit b6 18mg vit b12 30 mcg magnesium 308 mg potassium 100 mg I also take a tablespoon of coconut oil everyday. About 14 years ago the doctor told me I had fibromyalgia in which I started taking a whole lot of stuff. Tylenol 3 with codine, vicodine, flerexal, lexapro, naproxen, pepcid, all kinds of stuff for IBS. In the last four months I have not had IBS at all!!! I do not take ANY of the meds listed now, but I just cant seem to get my blood pressure down. We do not have a natural doctor here where I live. I know you out there are not doctors but if there is anything that you have tried please please let me know. My husband said its not possible to get it down without meds because we have 7 kids of which three have Autism. LOL-- my whole family have improved so much now that we have changed our diet.

For people with Diabetes, smokers, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, overweight, heart diseased or with a history or propensity towards vascular disease there is a decrease in nitric oxide production causing the lining in the walls of their arteries to become more like " Velcro " eventually causing sticky platelets, cholesterol and potential obstruction of plaque build up.' ------------ -- AAKG is available in tablet form from Walmart, the Jaogulan herb is available from _http://herb. com/_ (http://herb. com/) I take half teas Jia herb in a little warm water first thing in the morning with 2 teas of AAKG - or 2 tablets if taking in tablet form. Take on an empty stomach, an hour afore eating. And same again in the evening, an hour afore my main evening meal, or, a couple of hours after eating. The Jiaogulan bolsters the effects of the AAKG. The two herbs work together. Excellent results and no side effects.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 You might try Aroma Life Essential Oil blend from Young Living. It has cardiac health support, lowers high blood pressure and reduces stress. This is a blend I use and it worked on my high blood pressure. I'll be happy to give you more info if you want to know. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Practicing controlled breathing will help but I can't give you the details of this. There is a device called Resperate that helps you achieve this but it is expensive. L-Arginine helps dilate blood vessels but I have never seen a significant change when I took it and you have to take large dosages like 2-4 grams to have any effect. Foods or supplements with Omega 3 fatty acids may help. Losing weight is one of the most effective ways to lower blood pressure followed by exercise. However there are some individuals that are reed thin, exercise, and have a very healthy diet but still have hypertension--I know someone who meets that criteria. This is due to genetics and that type of blood pressure is difficult to control. The main concern with even borderline high blood pressure is that the continual pressure on the arteries irritates the arterial lining making you more vulnerable to blood clots, plaque deposits, and reduces elasticity of the arteries. If you get put on blood pressure medication you may be able to reduce the dosage over time and possibly eliminate the need for it so don't get discouraged. Even marathon runners get heart attacks and we still don't understand all the mechanisms or reasons for heart disease.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hi. I already suggested more water but I forgot. Eat a banana every morning. My sister has high blood pressue. She is on a very low dose of meds. She is able to keep it that way because she eats a banana every day. mauimagic2003 <heartlinks wrote: My doctor wants to put me on medication for high blood pressure.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Bananas have lots of potassium which lowers blood pressure. So foods high in potassium are good for lowering blood pressure. Those with kidney functioning problems need to talk to their doctors as foods high in potassium can have an adverse affect of compromised kidneys. Those on dialysis should avoid all foods high in potassium. Also, all need to realize there is a difference between treating the different levels of high blood pressure. Easier to wean yourself off low dose meds for somewhat elevated blood pressure than extremely high blood pressure which could cause a life threatening event and not all blood pressure problems are due to lifestyle and diet. Lowering it through diet, exercise, and lifestyle is always the preference even with doctors but make sure you buy a home monitor and keep track of it.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 1 lemon or lime in a glass of water in the morning,,and at night if you are in a hurry. Then you can do it just in the morning. Kyolic- " heart formula 108 " works really well. I kow from experience.Stay away from meds until you thoroughly understand the repercussions!! You need to be educated in what you put into your body.I was borderline diabetic,Atenolal made me fullblown diabetic by governing the adrenal gland, which slowed down the Pancreas.I suggest " the complete encyclopedia of Natural Healing. Always look on Amazon for " used books " .I got that book brand new foe $18 instead of advertised special of $39.99. Good luck.-- In , Alison Bliss <naturalhealthmom wrote: > > Drink a lot of water.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Dear Dolores, You are most welcome, and I hope the holidays went well for you. HBP is not really that difficult to terminatedly handle once and for all. I've helped hundreds of clients bring their HBP permanently down doing a simple Total Body Cleanse while taking a large quantity of Garlic = 4 to 8 cloves a day. The way you take the Garlic is to cut a medium to large clove in half, lengthwise with the grain, or into quarters if they're too big, then dip them in Organic Olive Oil and down the hatch with them like taking a bunch of pills. This will also lower cholesterol by the way. The longest I've seen the above to bring a very high BP permanently down was 3 months, and the shortest is about 3 weeks. The idea is to start the cleanse and the additional Garlic at the same time. You'll actually notice a feeling of well being within the first 3 days and it just gets better from there. All the best, Doc Dolores wrote: > Good Day Doc, > > I have a question for you about High Blood Pressure. I have lost quite a bit of weight, watch what I eat, excercise daily and I cannot get my blood pressure down. I have found out that everyone on my mother side have High Blodd Pressure. I do not want to be on any type of meds at all. > > I need help, what can I do, that I am not doing already? > > Thank you for always being there to help with our questions, have a wonderful day. > > Dolores > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
