Hi Lydia

Thats the first I have heard of that, DLPA is not good for you

if you have high blood pressure. I have high blood pressure and I take LDN. I

was never checked while on LDN but I feel my BP is normal while on LDN

I have been following this list and only say

something now and then. At this time I have a question about high blood

pressure. I hear that LDN is not good for people with high blood pressure. What

if you are being treated for it and are stable? Say you got the LDN without a

prescription and haven't gotten your doctor to agree to prescibe it, so he may

not monitor it or may dump you? Lydia

To the contrary LDN normalises high blood pressure. For 5 years I had been on

accupril for hypertension. Three and a half weeks after starting LDN I was able

to come off the accupril as my blood pressure had dropped. Three months later it

is still normal. You may well find the same.

+++Hi ,

Yes, there are many things on this program which help your blood pressure.

Minerals are most important for blood pressure, including salt (sodium +

choride).

I had very low blood pressure several years ago, so my doctor sent me to a

specialist. They had me on a heart monitor for 19 hours, and checked my resting

and active blood pressure and it was extremely low along with a low heart rate.

He advised me to consume more salt, even if I had to take it separately by

putting it under my tongue several times a day. Of course I was using ocean sea

salt. In 2 weeks my blood pressure was normal, so I am always sure to get

enough good salt.

Cheers, Bee

Hi all,After many years of trying something natural to lower BP, I feel like I've struck gold! After hearing about a friend with diabetes issues having good results with cinnamon and magnesium, I decided to try adding cinnamon to my daily regimen (I have no diabetes problem). I have been taking 500 mg per day for just the past 3 weeks, and already I have seen a 20+ point systolic drop and nearly a 10 point diastolic drop. Even at the drs office this morning, where I typically have "white coat high blood pressure" , it came in at 124/80! 3 weeks ago, that would have been 144/90. If you can manage and monitor your BP, maybe you can do DLPA if you want to try.Best to you,Steve Hi Lydia Thats the first I have heard of that, DLPA is not good for you

+++Hi -Ann,

My program would never cause hypertension, so he needs to double check his diet

to ensure he is only having foods on the list, and also that he is taking all of

the supplements in the correct doses and kinds.

It is very important that everyone gets 1.5 teaspoons of ocean sea salt per day

too, which is a cure, along with the diet and other supplements, for

hypertension. See this Success Story:

The stress of all this stuff is starting to raise my blood pressure. I eat

right, I'm thin, I exercise alot so I think it;s the stress

Anyway, I do VERY badly on conventional drugs but wanted to know if anyone has

had any luck with blood pressure pills actually working and not making them

sicker.

PS I tried Xanax-makes me exhausted so i case I'm calmer but I hate the tired

feeling.

Thanks for any suggestions! Surella

, I was on propanol for two years, high blood pressure and increased heart rate, after a month on iodine, I had to quit propanol, my blood pressure was going to low, I first notice when I arose out of bed, I felt really dizzy, so checked BP. Now six months into iodine at 240mgs daily, my BP is very normal without meds.  I hated them they take away your energy, and cause ED, david lubbock tx.

Hi everyone,

I started taking Standard Process Iodine a few days ago, along with a lot of other new supplements. I have been feeling awful today and yesterday and just realized my blood pressure has skyrocketed. I am on hypertension medication, which usually pretty well controls my blood pressure. Is there a bad interaction between iodine and blood pressure meds?

Any thoughts welcome.

You did not state which blood pressure medication you are on, but there are

quite a few BP meds on the list of drug interactions with Lugol's at the

Drugs-dot-com website. (Click on the " Show all medications " option at the link

below.)

http://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide,lugol-s-index.htm\

l

Personally, however, my solution to the problem would be simply to stop

measuring the blood pressure! I say that because there is a lot of hype nowadays

by " mainstream medicine " to maintain BP lower than what used to be considered

normal only just a few decades ago. Modern mainstream cadiologists just kept

lowering the recommended limits for BP in order to sell more BP drugs.

Pharmaceutical sales are Big Business, you know.

You also didn't state your age. Below are a couple of quotes taken from Dr

Brownstein's subscription health newsletter, June 2010 issue entitled " " Don't

Fall for the Blood Pressure Scam. " (pg 1 & pg 5)

" When I was in medical school in the

1980s, I was taught that blood pressure

normally rises as one ages. The leading

cardiologists at Wayne State University School of

Medicine felt that a normal blood pressure could

be ascertained by adding 90 to the patient's age.

The resulting number would be the average systolic

blood pressure for the individual patient.

" For example, a 60-year-old patient would be

expected to have a systolic blood pressure of 150

mmHg, while an 89-year-old patient would have a

systolic pressure of 170 mmHg. Those same expert

cardiologists told me that a diastolic pressure less

than 100 mmHg was normal for most people. "

" So, what level blood pressure rises to the threshold

of needing drugs to treat it? (All figures are for

systolic blood pressure.)

• Men ages 45 to 54: 159 mmHg

• Men 55 to 64: 173 mmHg

• Men 65 to 74: 184 mmHg

• Women 45 to 54: 165 mmHg

• Women 55 to 64: 183 mmHG

• Women 65 to 74: 90mmHg.5

" Kaufman, author of Malignant Medical

Myths wrote, 'When allowance for age is made . . .

it is probable that only 55 percent of men should be

treated for hypertension.' "

I'm going to post a link to this special issue of Brownstein's subscription-only

anticipate that the password for this newsletter, which changes monthly, will be

My husband takes Benicar, which is on the list above of drug interactions with

Lugol's, but I know how Benicar works, so I'm not too worried about it. I'm

using Celtic sea salt liberally in preparing his food, and I don't worry about

doing that either.

Hubby refuses to give up his Benicar because he has a blood clotting problem

(blocked vena cava - scar tissue) for which he has taken Coumadin for the last

30-35 yrs, so he worries a lot about a bleeding stroke to the brain if his blood

gets too thin while his BP is too high, and that's why he's afraid to give up

Benicar.

I'm trying to get him to cut down on his Splenda Cokes, but it's a fight, so I'm

encouraging him to drink homemade " switzle " everyday, which is what the

old-timers used to drink during haymaking season to keep up their energy --

similar to popular sports drinks nowadays. It's made with honey (or molasses, or

both) plus apple cider vinegar in a glass of water -- porportions to taste.

To jazz up the homemade switzle beverage for him, I use spritzer water which I

make at home by using one of those Soda Stream devices (link below). He actually

likes my fizzy version of homemade switzle, but he still stubbornly refuses to

give up his Splenda Coke, although I have succeeded in getting him to cut back

to just one can of Coke per day now by substituting fizzy switzle or occasional

fizzy fruit juice spritzers.

http://www.sodastreamusa.com/

According to Dr. Jarvis in his book " Folk Medicine " , apple cider vinegar in

water helps the absorption of Lugol's. I had to figure out a way to get Hubby to

accept drinking apple cider vinegar in water, and my homemade switzle with

spritzer water is something that he actually likes, believe it or not -- because

if he doesn't like something, then he just ain't gonna' cooperate with my best

efforts to help him improve his health.

I'm not sure if the apple cider vinegar will improve his BP or not, but

according to Dr. Jarvis's book, it does help improve the acid-alkaline balance

of the body, as measured by pH strips, and that's also how it's supposed to help

the absorption of iodine into the body, as well as aiding the absorption of

other healthful minerals from the diet.

I'm hopeful that homemade switzle will eventually help Hubby to manage his blood

pressure better by improving his mineral balance, but I don't expect any

dramatic overnight changes, although I do expect very gradual, slow improvement,

providing he will keep it up regularly for long enough. Time will tell...

I want to caution people about that so-called drug interaction list. First,

Lugol's is a

nutritional supplement, not a drug. Second, iodine is demonized in Western

medicine so anytime someone is taking it and something happens medically,

doctors blame the iodine. A related example is the drug Amiodarone, which is

used for heart irregularities. It has some severe side effects, which are

blamed on

the iodine content, but it's not the iodine content, it's the drug itself.

Anytime iodine is involved, it is blamed no matter what, case closed, no further

investigation necessary.

I wouldn't take that list too literally.
