[AlternativeAnswers] Alternatives for blood pressure managment

Hi Izabel,

As you know already, elevated blood pressure can be related to a variety of factors, but lifestyle plays a very significant role for "essential hypertension". If you are sincerely interested in a non-pharmaceutical approach to lowering BP, diet (mostly vegan at first), sun exposure (check your 25-OH vitamin D), and exercise (ideally moderate weight lifting/isotonics before eating, and 30-45 minutes moderate cardiovascular exercise/walking within 45 minutes after eating) are the cornerstones of most of the effective programs (see the CHIP or Dean Ornish or McDougall programs: http://www.chiphealth.com/ ). Medically supervised fasting is a powerful approach that is almost universally effective (~90% of patients achieved normalized BP within 10 days) (http://www.vegsource.com/articles/goldhamer.pdf). Supplements and targeted foods can be useful, but I prefer recommending only in the context of a lifestyle modification program...and include the
evidence-based superfoods: pomegranate juice, frozen blueberries, walnuts, beets, watercress, natto (or just take a mixed vitamin-2), turmeric... It would probably be a good idea to check your magnesium levels (via a lab erythrocyte Mg test) and with your hormones, carotid artery ultrasound, vulnerable plaque test (www.plactest.com), homocysteine...along with the usual stuff the MD orders.

best wishes,
Jeff

Re: [AlternativeAnswers] Vitamins

your body needs minerals and vitamins to work.if you are for example short of iron even the doctorwill prescribe iron tablets.Most people are short on many minerals and supplementscheck out NIH National Institute of Health
Google vitamins and minerals, protein,carbs, fat,see whatyou need and how much.Most people don't know this basic but vital informationwhich is needed to ensure your body gets what itneed to be healthy.Most diseases are deficiency diseases.You don't need dreadful drugs with their horrendousside effects.David

Hi

I have been taking fusion health stress and anxiety tablets that contain

Ocimum tenuiflorum

Withania somnifera

Magnolia officinalis

Poria cocos

Polygala sibirica

Citrus reticulata

And I have noticed that when I don't take them I feel alittle low. When I didn't take them for 3 days I noticed I was very happy. I felt low, quiet and internal.

Is there any evidence that u can get ur body addicted to vitamins an mineral?

Ta
