Under Pressure Because Of Hypertension?

circulatory system

Did you know what you thought was “normal blood pressure” is now considered high blood pressure? That’s right, 120/80 used to be “normal,” but the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), has decided to lower to bar. Now even 115/75 is being considered as high blood pressure.

The fact is more than ever, now anyone can be diagnosed with High Blood Pressure, regardless of age, sex or personality type.

More and more children are being labeled as hypertensive, primarily due to the Standard American Diet (SAD), and sad it is. It is a well published fact that the right diet can reduce blood pressure while lowering your risk of developing diabetes, heart attacks, stroke and cancer.

Truth is, the right diet is more effective than drugs.

Depending on drugs to resolve your hypertension is not the wisest decision you will ever make. In fact anti-hypertensive drugs will increase your risk for developing type 2 diabetes.

These toxic little pharmaceuticals have other adverse effects as well as nausea, weight gain and sexual dysfunction . . . and may even increase your risk of heart attack.

Hypertension is NOT a drug deficiency, nor is it a normal part of growing older. If it were everyone would eventually have High Blood Pressure.

Yet staying on the track we are on, eating the refined sugars and salts that we eat . . . I believe the NHLBI will eventually lower the bar repeatedly, because there is an increased risk of continuing to eat the refined poisons we eat. There is a hidden cause of heart attacks and strokes and treating hypertension with drugs is NOT the cure.

You need to be serious about your own health and make a commitment to act now, before it’s too late.

Did you know the first symptom of a heart attack is death?

If you are currently being treated for hypertension, ask your doctor what you can do to lower your risks and if it may be too late to make natural modifications to your lifestyle. Whatever you do, don’t stop taking your medications without a doctor’s supervision, once you’re on them you may have to stay on them. If you’re not happy with that, find a real doctor that specializes in integrative medicine . . . someone with the knowledge base to help you find a natural means to a normal life.

Live well,

The Great Salt Myth Busted !!!

organic salt

As you begin to read this article you will be amazed at how threatening high blood pressure issues are and at the same time how simple the remedy is . . .

Cutting-edge research shows that for the vast majority of people, natural salt consumption does not raise blood pressure. The truth is avoiding salt is dangerous to your health and may even kill you.

One study in the journal of Human Hypertension (13:777-80, 1999) concluded that substituting table salt for potassium, magnesium, sodium salt . . . 9 out 0f 20 elderly hypertensive patients experienced an 11 point drop in their daytime systolic blood pressure. And it turns out that natural sea salt rich in natural potassium, magnesium and sodium helps to normalize healthy blood pressure levels.

Unless you're sodium-sensitive, chances are your high blood pressure stems from a lack of the correct ration of calcium, magnesium and potassium.

The cold truth is good salt has gotten a bum rap, like so many other natural remedies that have provided superior health benefits for ages. Do you recall the old TV commercials from the ‘70s that would say, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature,” in an attempt to convince you that margarine was better than butter? It seems mainstream media’s creedo is, “If you’re gonna lie, lie BIG!”

If we only knew then, what we know now!

Trans fats (hydrogenated oils A.K.A. margarine) virtually created myocardial arrests all on its own and destroyed millions of people’s lives and still is. All in the name of advertising, under the guise of another gimmick, another modern “man-made” wonder to cheat Mother Nature with.

Today we know trans-fats cause inflammation and contribute to high blood pressure, or perhaps you haven’t heard?

The same lie was sold to you against natural salt in an attempt to sell man-made table salt. It’s just not good to fool the Mother Nature period. FACT: your body needs sodium as an essential nutrient. Your body cannot produce its own sodium, and without it you will surely die.

Salt is basically sodium chloride and sodium ions, the two major components of salt, are necessary for the survival of all known living creatures, including humans
 
Natural chloride increases your body’s ability to absorb heart healthy potassium. Chloride is the key to balanced stomach acidity, helps sustain healthy pH for the whole body and increases the elimination of CO2 from your blood . . . preventing acidosis.

On the other hand unnatural, isolated, synthetic sodium chloride (a.k.a. table salt) is a different story.

Table salt has ZERO trace elements and because your body cannot use it, the synthetic salt becomes a biological poison.

It was once said by a wise man, “You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt has lost his savor, where can it be salted? It is therefore good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

In other words if the salt has lost its essential qualities, it is useless like the dust under our sandals. It is the “savor” of the salt that makes it precious and useful. “Table salt” is an isolated man-made chemical that has no “life force” and has lost all of its essential qualities.

Now back to nature . . . sea salt has been treasured throughout history and in India is still used as money. Sea salt has a perfect balance of trace minerals like potassium and magnesium and other key nutrients you require for optimal health.

If sea salt were bad for you Mahatma Gandhi would have died from high blood pressure, along with billions of other Indian peoples.

The beautiful thing is your body somehow recognizes this perfect balance and readily absorbs all these essential nutrients quickly.

The new science of health, called epigenetics emphasizes your body’s connection to your environment. The latest breakthrough discovery indicates that cell membrane health can be nurtured which ultimately even controls your master gene switchboard.

Today epigenetic scientists have revealed the once hidden connection between your genes and your environment . . . but it all depends on your cell membrane health which depends on sea salt.

Every cell in your body is bathed in a sea of clear, life nurturing fluid. Much like the amniotic fluid that nurtures a baby inside the mother’s womb. This salty sea like fluid is found in your blood, throughout your body and in your bones and like any living sea creature, should it be put immersed into synthetic salt they die, just as your cells die.

When you add pinch of genuine sea salt to a glass of water and drink it you are releasing and activating powerful ionically charged minerals and trace elements. Without these your body cannot produce electricity and slowly drowns in its own CO2 in a slow death caused by a severe pH imbalance called acidosis.

One of the first symptoms of acidosis, or severe acid pH, is high blood pressure. High blood pressure symptoms can also be triggered from dehydration, so it is crucial that you help balance healthy blood pressure levels with natural sea salt intake along with plenty of water . . . EVERY DAY!

One more note for today: Pharmaceutical drugs work one way or another in spite of their inherit and damaging side effects. But sea salt works “both” ways, helping to normalize healthy blood pressure levels. If your pressure tends to be low your body will utilize the trace elements to restore its natural balance automatically just as well as when it is high.

Remember high or low blood pressure fluctuations are not caused by a drug deficiency and drugs are NOT nutrients . . .

A Sweet Answer For High Blood Pressure

nervous system

It’s such a tragedy when I see healthy people told they need to get on high blood pressure drugs for the rest of their lives. I’m not saying not to take your medication at all . . . I’m just saying too many doctors simply jump the gun on this one. Most of the case studies that drug companies use to make their pitch are from only the severe cases.

If you have neglected your health for so long that your body needs drugs to maintain life then use them, that’s what they are for. But if you are an average person or even an exceptional person . . . the probability is always on your side that a natural remedy will help.

Besides the fact that most high blood pressure is caused from emotional stress factors, diet and lifestyle . . . plus more often than not it’s just a simple case of dehydration or mineral deficiency.

In fact all of the drugs in use today are complex imitations of compounds and nutrients found in nature anyway. So do yourself a favor sit down, take a deep breath and a glass of water . . . and while your relaxing why don’t you enjoy a big fat delicious organic chocolate bar. That’s right, haven’t you heard?

Chocolate that is, REAL chocolate is a medicinal food and has been proven to promote healthy blood pressure levels in subjects studied.

Now please don’t run up to the store and buy a bunch of candy bars, they are NOT good for you and they rarely if ever contain the REAL chocolate I am telling you about.

Milk Chocolate is still your enemy. It is chocked full of refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup, other nasty additives and even hydrogenated oils (trans-fats).

Real chocolate still has the super-food qualities of the original cacao bean still in it. In fact you can find delicious raw cacao beans or raw chocolate nibs and eat them straight out of the bag. In fact I’m going to share a secret recipe with you. I take raw or roasted cacao beans and crumble them on top of my organic coffee beans and it is absolutely delicious, even without sugar.

And if you need sugar try using raw unrefined sugar in your morning coffee, it’s full of minerals and nutrients that refine sugar never has.

I use “organic” cacao because it doesn’t have pesticide residue and for some reason non-organic cacao beans are extremely high in lead content too. Chocolate nibs are simply crushed cacao beans and the roasted ones are my favorite.

Now if you are not the Euell Gibbons type, as I am, you can find organic chocolate bars at any health food store. I highly recommend 65% or higher cacao; it will say right on the label, 75% cacao is my favorite, mmmmM.

Here are some of the health benefits:

 - High in antioxidants: Ounce for ounce, chocolate is one of the richest food sources of these all important substances. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are extra oxygen electrons that can accelerate aging and the problems that come with it.

 - Rich in valuable micronutrients: Chocolate supplies significant amounts of potassium, zinc, magnesium and iron.

 - Cholesterol "neutral”: Chocolate has been found to help promote healthy cholesterol levels. And, believe it or not, the fat found in chocolate is "cholesterol neutral," meaning that it doesn't have a negative effect on cholesterol levels.

 - Good for blood pressure: People who ate just over 3 ounces of premium quality dark chocolate each day for two straight weeks had an easier time maintaining healthy blood pressure, according to one study. And, according to a 2003 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, chocolate helped promote healthy blood pressure levels in the subjects studied. Chocolate helps relax blood vessels so blood can flow through them easier.

A safe, mild stimulant: Chocolate actually has relatively little caffeine, but many people notice a quick increase in alertness and improvement in mood that can last hours after eating. That has been accredited to the synergistic blend of key minerals and micronutrients that power boosts the energy centers of your cells.

So there you have it. There are many ways to enjoy life and at the same time benefit your overall health and well being. I hope you enjoyed this information and find your closest health food store ASAP, I know I will!

Why Does An American Die every 33 Seconds . . . From Heart Disease?

•  www.bartonpublishing.com news service
•  Martin Jacobse

Consider this; A 46 year old man with a family history of heart disease has a normal check up and everything is good. His total cholesterol is 210 mg per deciliter, his HDL level is 40 mg per deciliter and triglyceride level is 147 mg per deciliter. His resting systolic blood pressure is 123 mm Hg . . . he is a non-smoker, has an active lifestyle and has never taken any medication for high blood pressure.

The question is should he begin taking aspirin to reduce any risk of premature heart attack? The clinical goal is to get people who qualify as high risk for heart disease and get them on some kind of drug program, in hopes of preventing the disease. But does the use of Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs like aspirin “prevent” coronary heart disease at all?

Because inflammation is the primary symptom of heart disease should we all be taking anti-inflammatory drugs? If any risk reduction decreases the risk of a heart attack for instance, shouldn’t we seek alternatives to any drugs first? Mainstream medicine justifies prescribing medicine claiming to predict “absolute” risk.

By the standards set for absolute risk, we certainly all fall into the “relative” risk category quite easily.

But considering prevention, did you know real vitamin C has been shown to greatly reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant? Check out the proof at the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University . . .

Even claiming to establish an absolute risk factor sounds completely ridiculous to practical thinking people who have difficulty making preposterous psychic predictions, based on any system of math. I mean seriously, who made up “absolute risk ratios” anyway? Is someone is trying a little too hard to create a language no one else can understand, just to justify selling and investing in drug futures?

Forgive me if I sound blunt here, but let’s look at the facts.

I realize that they use complex algorithms to assess absolute risk in people and I know that they depend primarily on lipid (cholesterol) levels to make conclusions . . . but these are only useful to make estimates (guesses) of whether to “institute” a strategy of primary prevention (drug therapy).

In the 1970’s some studies “suggested” regular aspirin drug use would reduce risk of myocardial infarction and heart attacks. The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recently reported there was good evidence that aspirin decreases the risk of coronary heart disease in those at an increased risk, but in addition there is also good evidence that aspirin increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers and “fair evidence” that it increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

Another note is you better supplement your creatinine levels and monitor your kidney function if you pop aspirins for therapy.

They also admitted that personal preferences of the patient should be factored into decisions about aspirin use. Okay, so what’s my choice, myocardial infarction, heart attack OR stroke and blood in my stools?

Hmmm, that’s a tough decision to make based on absolute or relative risk assumptions Mr. Wizard . . . personally my preference would be a change in diet and lifestyle. I’ll take the risk of not having either stroke or any other “coronary events” other than the swoon of being in love and the awe of a new sunrise thank you.

If you are a man over the age of 50 years, you may want your MD to download his Framington risk score software or go online and calculate your absolute risk factors. Keep in mind that aspirin use “probably” reduces your risk of myocardial infarction (not heart attack, stroke, and possible pancreatic or colon cancer.)

But before I would do that, I would read this . . .

In spite of the fact, according to the PNAS, an estimated 40,000 metric tons of aspirin are voraciously consumed each year, equating to 120 billion aspirin tablets (300 mg is a standard size).

Since the start of the 20th century, cardiovascular disease has been the number one killer of North Americans. Nearly 60% of all deaths each year occur as a result of Cardiovascular Disease. In fact this number is greater than all seven of the other leading causes of death COMBINED. That equates to a death from CVD every 33 seconds . . . it is also responsible for 30% of the gross income for hospitals each year in the U.S.

Strange that everyone has been popping aspirin all those years and we’re still dropping like flies all around each other.

Why do I have to educate my doctor? Who is training these guys? Could it have something to do with Big Pharma funding required classes in key academic institutions, naw that couldn’t be could it?

Testing is important for the prevention of CVD, but you have to request the right tests. Most MDs just look for the easy sell like high blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL levels . . . but they must look for different markers.

More than half the people who die from heart attacks have normal cholesterol and half of them have normal blood pressure . . . so why all the aspirin?

These are what you really need to ask to be tested for:

•    LDL subclasses and “particle size”
•    Lipoproteins
•    Homocysteine levels
•    Fibrinogen levels
•    LDL oxidation times

With the right information you can easily make lifestyle changes and dietary changes to decrease “absolute” risk of cardiovascular Diseases.

There is evidence that meditation, deep breathing, mineral and hydration intake, food based nutrients and even spinal manipulation and more can all lower high blood pressure and enhance health.

Live well,

Read About the 5 Primary Triggers to Hypertension

There are 5 primary triggers to high blood pressure:

1. Nutrition
2. Exposure to toxins
3. Electromagnetic chaos
4. Stress
5. Dehydration

High blood pressure is not a “drug deficiency,” nor is it even a disease . . . that’s why there is no “magic pill.”  By now, you, like me, know there are natural alternatives to running to the doctor for more drugs. The best ways to approach your hypertension is by identifying the cause and then genuinely care enough to change it, without cheating.

Because if you choose to take drugs to block the signals your body is sending you, you are cheating your health by ignoring the signs.

Hypertension is your body’s way of telling you there is a more serious problem going on . . . and chemically lowering your blood pressure does not answer the problem.

New science has found by “personalizing your diet” to complement, support and nurture your own unique metabolism that you can enjoy the fruits of a happy, healthy and long life. . . without complicating the real issue with harmful chemicals.  Click here to learn how to stay healthy by using food and wisdom as your medicine
