Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 My mom is going to be 63 and when she went into have her check up, her blood pressure was 150 over 90. Her doctor wants her on BP medicine and she does not want to do that. She is already on Cholesterol medicine. She did have a coffee and was just coming from work when she saw the doctor. My question is this, I was thinking she should take a therapeutic dose of flax seed oil along with her Omega 3 supplement. Is there anything else she can do naturally to lower her BP? She has been working on her diet and is gluten and casein intolerant. She is also under a lot of stress because my dad has been laid off for two months and her job is very physical and stressful. Thanks, Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Shelley, I am hypertensive too. Hyptertension can be triggered by salt, coffee, stress, etc. There are many foods that can control blood pressure. Avocado is a good one, it battles diabetes, lowers cholesterol, helps stop strokes, controls blood pressure and smooths skin. Apricot also controls bp, and so with bananas, beets, broccoli, cantaloupe, chestnuts, Figs - lowers cholesterol and controls blood pressure, garlic - controls bp and lowers cholesterol, lemons controls bp (in the Philippines, when one has elevated bp, the person is given a glass of lemon juice or pineapple juice with no sugar and after 15-30 minutes, the bp is lowered to normal), limes, mushrooms, and watermelon. Of course, all of the above should be taken in moderation. As for diabetes, Swedish Bitters can help contain diabetes by making the pancreas work. Navy or haricot beans or string beans can be used also. Here, the pods (remove seeds) are boiled then taken throughout the day. Needless to say, you have to stay away from sweets, carbohydrates, and all foods that spike the blood sugar. Fruits in moderation is ok. Here is a remedy from Dr. Ellingwood's Medical Journals in the early 1900s. Visit this website and find the old remedy. He presribed beef. We all know that cows at that time ate healthy grass and not feeds. So if you want to try this remedy, go for organic grass fed beef. The article is midway. Just go to " Edit " and select " find " and type " diabetes melitus " . http://www.swsbm.com/Journals/Ellingwood2-5.pdf Hope you will be helped by these leads.
