Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Interesting because the blood pressure in question is what mine has been most of my adult life (the person questioning it doesn't know ours are the same). I have never had trouble standing or blacking out. In fact I was told it was the blood pressure of a 12 year old and I was 53 at the time! Thanks for the response - Shari ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathy L health Sent: Friday, September 16, 2005 3:30 PM Subject: Re: blood pressure Mine used to hover around 90/60 and it really can be scarey. I used to black out almost to the point of passing out when I moved too fast. I couldn't stand very long or I would get dizzy and I got tired and out of breath really easy.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Mine is generally that or lower. (The first number may be lower sometimes, not the second.) I've never had a problem with it. Sure is better than high!

Little changes make a big difference, but the best one, for me anyway, was taking the hawthorne and potassium again.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Sorry Lynn, was not implying any one take drugs... (God forbid)... I was just stating what the medical profession concludes is normal and what they do when it is higher... sorry for that. No, I would go to garlic and juice fast if mine were up... and raw... My parents and grand parents had/have HBP..... I vowed not to... and what you convince the mind convinces the body... mine has always been great. If I could just get this thru to my folks.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Yeah.....I don't think that even the MD profession is recommending drugs for those numbers anymore...that's only a mild HBP reading. Lifestyle changes, thank goodness, are recommended now....sometimes diuretics. It's serious above 179/114. Using a lancet to prick the apex of the ear, for a drop of blood, is one treatment for HBP.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 thanks to all who replied. I have been to the doctors office many of times ( for other medical problems ) and my blood pressure is always normal. even when i was in the hospital in october and november my blood pressure was never that high, thats why they want me to get it checked out. i have been to the doctors frequently about my kidneys. they keep testing me for kidney stones, but nothing shows up. but sometimes i get strong pains in the lower part of my back and it makes it where i can barely move. some people think that it is my kidneys.... so that could be a possibility. well, i'm going to the doctor on friday or monday about the thyroid blood work, and to talk about my blood pressure, so then i might find out. thanks to all! - megan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Amber, Thanks so much. I also use the RESPERATE which helps a lot, but it has to be used regularly. On salt, I personally cannot handle either regular or Celtic Sea Salt. I use Kelp. Other than that, I agree with West and Lark. Calcium is important as is magnesium. I've started taking the Beta Foods which I picked up yesterday afternoon at the Apothecary here in Bethesda. I bought the small bottle as I want to be sure I am not allergic to anything in it. Thanks again, Eleanor -----Original Message----- From: amber@... gallstones Sent: Sun, 6 May 2007 10:18 AM Subject: Blood pressure >Amber, Did you get the Blood Pressure issue by Dr. Bruce West. What were his recommendations to lower blood pressure? that is, if it is not too detailed. Is there one supplement or food that stands out? Thanks, Eleanor> I have many, many issues pertaining to blood pressure, so I'll go through them and just type some highlights here. Comments from Dr. Bruce West: By simply reducing salt and exercising, at least a third of Americans over age 60 can get off their blood pressure drugs. Stop eating processed foods (this will reduce your salt by 50% or more). Use only Celtic Sea Salt. (I buy sea salt from a health food store). Most drugs only mask symptoms and create problems. They haven't saved lives because they never cured high BP. BP drugs can diminish brain function in older adults. They can induce brain and memory problems. There is no evidence that high BP drugs prevent heart disease, strokes, or deaths. Doctors don't have any idea how to advise their patients who want to quit calcium channel blockers (I'm on that due to Tachycardia) due to side effects (like congestive heart failure). After reading through many of his newsletters, basically he is saying to exercise and use sea salt. I looked through information I have from M. Lark, M.D. and this is what she says: Eat a healthy diet that is loaded with fiber, fresh vegetables and fruits, cold-water fish, walnuts and ground flax. Cook with onions, garlic, olive or canola oil instead of salt and butter. Avoid red meat and dairy products. Take digestive aides such as bromelain. Walk briskly at least 20 minutes, three times a week. Reduce stress. Ok, from what these two people say, basically it's diet and exercise and no Rx drugs. I've read elsewhere that extra magnesium also helps. Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Amber, I do not think we differ at all. I take Miraculous Magnesium twice a day, that is addition to my multi.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi I thought your comments were interesting-the relaxing of the arteries-as it does make sense that as we age the arteries do become hardened so the " relaxation " idea seems feasible. I take Country Life (4 caps/day) give me Calicum 1000 mg-Magnesium 500 mg with Vit D 400 IU Complex in addition to Vit D-3 2000 mg. So my question to you is how much Magnesium does one need as a thearputic dose to effect blood pressure adequately-I am pressed for answers myself. Thanks again for posting. Where does one get Miraculous Magnesium. As a side note: I drink 2 tbls. ofdandeline tea/day to counteract fluid retention and no salt in my diet.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I read that Magnesium needs to be taken separately from calcium, so if you have a cal/mag supplement, it might help to take magnesium by itself a couple of hours afterwards. Google Miraculous Magnesium. I first got it from my doctor (an MD who is also alternative). You should also google magnesium and read up the literature. I understand from my research that we can take quite a bit of magenesium. If we get diarrhoea then cut down the dosage. Did you say that you drink 2 tablespoons of dandelion tea? How does that work? Do you boil the tea from fresh dandelions or do you drink a tincture? Dandelion is great for the liver too.
