Thousands of people looking for natural high blood pressure remedies will often turn their search to the internet. These people want to find a simple and effective way to cure high blood pressure. However, most will not find success and will return to taking prescription medications.

There are many natural high blood pressure remedies and this article will teach you seven essential secrets that pharmaceutical companies do not want you to know.

How to Cure High Blood Pressure Naturally

Unfortunately, the majority of Americans believe that pharmaceutical medications are the only way to cure high blood pressure. Despite the large volume of data pointing to the fact that blood pressure can be controlled naturally, most cling to the belief that synthetic medications are the only high blood pressure treatment.

In fact, there are many non-pharmaceutical ways in which you can control high blood pressure.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

1. Diet is a very important part of a high blood pressure treatment. Among the most important things you can do is to lower the amount of sodium to ingest to no more than 2,300mg a day. This is about as much as a single teaspoon of salt. Be sure you read all labels.

2. You need to have plenty of all-natural foods in your diet. Things like grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, poultry, and dried beans will help you control blood pressure. Avoid processed and fast foods that have high amounts of sodium and preservatives.

3. Living a simple life is beneficial if you want to cure high blood pressure. Reducing your stress can result in lower blood pressure. You should get at least eight hours of sleep, wake early (6:00 AM), practice breathing exercises, meditate for 20 minutes a day, and quit drinking and smoking.

4. Duke University researchers have found that potassium can lower blood pressure by as much as 20 points. Add a supplement of 4,700mg to your daily regimen.

5. Garlic is an herb that will lower cholesterol, which will in turn lower high blood pressure. You can take garlic by either eating the cloves or by taking garlic pills.

6. Flushing cholesterol and plaque from your body is necessary to a high blood pressure treatment. The best way to do this is to drink plenty of water. By drinking 12 glasses of water throughout the day and eating between 5-7 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, you will flush the excess cholesterol and plaque from your body.

7. Hawthorn is an herb that has been popular in Europe for some time as a treatment for cardiovascular problems. The berries and leaves of this plant are used to make the cardiovascular system work more effectively. Hawthorn will widen the blood vessels, which in effect will lower high blood pressure.

Dear Geoff,

In response to your question on Thu, 23 Apr 2009:

"Hi Are you saying that So-called bad cholesterol, Low-Density-Lipoprotein (LDL) dose not form plaque on the arterial walls?"

The answer is "No, I am not saying that cholesterol doesn't form plaque on the arterial walls." But cholesterol not the entire cause of the plaque . . .

What cholesterol does is act as a liquid bandage, so to speak. Cholesterol is a nutrient that helps with many functions, one of which is to help hold tissues and cells together. Cholesterol seems like the culprit here, but it is not.

Let me explain. The real culprit is inflammation and as inflammation becomes chronic it can lead to hardening of tissues.

One of the causes of inflammation is an acidic pH in your body. As tissues and cells lose trace minerals they become acidic and in an attempt to alkalize, or buffer, this acidic inflammatory state, calcium is depleted from your bones.

This raises the serum level of calcium in your bloodstream. Due to prolonged inflammation of the arteries, they thin and begin to harden and even crack.

This is where the serum calcium tends to accumulate to form a hardened crust, or plaque. It is only natural for your cholesterol to show up at these inflamed and hardening sites to attempt to rescue the damaged tissue lining of the arteries. Yes, cholesterol becomes part of the plaque issue as it attaches to the calcium build-up and further reduces the diameter within the artery.

But it is trying to help prevent the artery from leaking or bursting. In a sense it is prolonging the integrity of the artery walls.

Cholesterol is not "the cause" of Coronary Heart Disease or Arterial Sclerosis no more than firemen are the cause of all the fires around town.

You see just as the firemen would look suspicious to someone unfamiliar with the fire departments duties, even presuming they are setting all the fires . . . so the same type of presumption can be drawn to demonize cholesterol.

Just because it is present at all these inflamed and hardening arterial sites does not mean cholesterol is causing the problem. Eliminating cholesterol with drugs (statins) may cause more problems for the majority of people than it would temporarily help. i.e. Global Transient Amnesia, Leaky Heart Syndrome, etc . . .

On the contrary, cholesterol is playing out it's cellular function attempting to put out the fires (inflammation).

You should be more concerned about C-reactive protein (fibrinogen), triglycerides and other inflammatory markers, as well as lipid molecule "size."

I apologize for the confusion I may have caused you Geoff. All we are trying to say is cholesterol is a single factor when considering the big picture. The premise behind all this is to help you better understand how to prevent and even reverse the scourge of heart disease that is killing so many people today.

Blocking your body's cholesterol metabolism with harmful chemicals is only attempting to treat a symptom and fails to address the root cause of heart disease.

Please feel free to ask any other questions. If i may, I suggest reading www.bloodpressurenormalized.com as well to shed some light on the importance of natural remedies for heart health.

About 60% of all the people who have heart attacks have NORMAL blood pressure and the vast majority of these people are taking high blood pressure drugs.

In a recent study in Europe, patients with high blood pressure who did NOTHING at all lived longer and had less complications than people who were on HBP medications.

It’s only a matter of time before you hear the medical institutions admit they were totally mistaken about heart disease and the dangers of high blood pressure drugs.

There is A LOT of money and even more ego and pride at stake with the present medical model, so don’t expect a public apology too soon . . . but it will come.

If you’ve tried the traditional approach, you’ve just participated in a massive experiment that failed. Don’t feel too bad, you’re not alone . . . millions of people have walked down the same path only to find themselves slaves of the drugs that hold them prisoner.

The government keeps lowering the standards and corralling more people into the "high-risk category" for heart disease. In spite of the fact that more high blood pressure drugs are prescribed than ever before, still sudden death is all around us. If fact, heart disease is the #1 cause of death!

Updating high blood pressure guidelines has only ONE goal . . . to sell billions of dollars worth of HBP drugs. Despite the bottom line being that HBP drugs are doing more harm than good.

How many more people do you think will be led down the same dead-end path before they announce that high blood pressure medications are NOT a cure for heart disease and actually increase the risk of sudden heart attack?

It’s true your risk of a heart attack may be greater if you have high blood pressure levels, but the cause of heart attack as well as high blood pressure is normally inflammation, NOT a drug deficiency.

More on High Blood Pressure Drugs Linked To Heart Attacks

In my last post about High Blood Pressure: Your High Blood Pressure Isn’t The Cause Of Heart Disease, I mentioned a fact that half of heart attacks happen to people with without clinical High Blood Pressure. Let me also say in some cases half of heart attacks happen to people with hypertension.

Having hypertension is definitely a tell-tale “sign” you are in a high risk category. My whole point is that heart disease is NOT caused by hypertension.

Still too many of us are under the false impression that treating the symptoms is the same as treating the cause.

The reasons for High Blood Pressure can be many and it is clearly not good to have sustained high levels of blood pressure. If you are suffering from onset of heart disease HBP will kill you even quicker.

It is vital to keep it under control, but how can you do this naturally?

What is causing heart disease and can you address the cause of it while also reducing the risk of developing hypertension? Just because your blood pressure reading was high in your doctors office today doesn’t mean you have to take drugs for HBP at all.

In fact many people misdiagnosed with HBP are because of White Coat Hypertension. This common phenomenon is triggered by psychological factors, such as the fear of doctors.

Another common problem is doctors and nurses often use an arm cuff that is too small, giving the false impression you have a health problem. "A survey showed that 96% of primary care physicians habitually use a cuff size too small," (Thomas G Pickering, 1994).

My point is to discover how to “genuinely care” for your own health, before you take someone else’s recommendations, doctor or not.

Most people who develop heart disease have common factors that are present before hypertension becomes apparent.

Here are 7 possible causes of the inflammation problem:

1.    Dehydration
2.    High calcium blood levels
3.    Low vitamin D
4.    Calcification of arterial linings
5.    Magnesium deficiency
6.    Neurogenic abnormalities
7.    High blood sugar

No where in all the evidence-based research available can I find where a drug deficiency is the cause of hypertension or heart disease. If taking drugs was the solution no one would have a heart attack when on them, right? My biggest concern is why are people with normal blood pressure having heart attacks?

The pharmaceutical companies would have you believe they all have high blood pressure and that’s just not true.

I realize any study can be skewed to show a desired result and I’m sure in some groups more than 50% who have heart attacks have HBP. But I also know the opposite to be true as well.

Bottom line is rather than argue statistics; people are dying with and without High Blood Pressure from the same heart attacks. If you are clinically diagnosed with hypertension, you need to work with your doctor to keep a watchful eye on it . . . however there are more things you need to do.

Just because the High Blood Pressure drugs you’re taking has your blood pressure controlled chemically, doesn’t necessarily mean the causal risks are gone. There is no magic pill that is going to cure you by treating “the effect,” or “symptom,” of a core health issue.

High blood pressure is one of the signs that you may be at risk for heart attack or stroke, there is no doubt about that. If your heart is weakened and your arteries are damaged you need to know why.

By understanding why, you are a whole step ahead of western medicine. There is a self-health revolution happening with both doctors and patients in the world today. The body has a natural ability to “heal itself,” without drugs. Some call it an inner wisdom, or innate intelligence, all you need to do is work with it.

Drugs do not work with the mystery that is your body; they chemically control parts without helping the whole person at all.

So if you are on High Blood Pressure medications ask your doctor if he or she can help you get away from them. If you are willing to change your life by making a commitment to natural healthful solutions, why shouldn’t you be encouraged?
