High blood pressure is a daily problem for millions, and hypertension medications are among the most commonly prescribed drugs. However more people are discovering they can effectively lower blood pressure without doctors' prescriptions. How do they manage to achieve such excellent results?

Blood pressure ranges from:
normal [below 120 (systolic) over 80 (diastolic) < 120/80] up to
Stage 2 Hypertension: [more than 160 over 100 or higher : > 160/100]

Natural treatment aims to lower blood pressure to below 140/90: you should be able to lower your blood pressure completely into normal range. Check with your doctor first, then follow these ten tips:

These recommendations are arranged in no special order, each one contributes to lowering blood pressure. In combination, especially if you do the whole lot, they're a sure-fire winner:

1. Exercise regularly, reduce stress and get 8 hours sleep
2. Supplement with nutritionals and vitamins
3. Take cayenne/wheat germ oil and hawthornberry each and every day
4. Drink steam-distilled or filtered water
5. Reduce sodium from your diet
6. Cut food with preservatives/sweeteners/chemicals/stimulants
7. Fast twice a year and/or perform a colon cleanse
8. Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables
9. Ban animal fats, cheese, dairy from the diet
10. Eat plenty of fiber (British? Eat fibre instead ;)

Reducing stress will have a most beneficial impact on blood pressure: get sufficient sleep each night. Try meditation or breathing exercises: I've found that audio cd's work wonders to lower stress. A regular 30 minutes of light activity each day works even more wonders: walking is best. Let the runners pass you if they must, you're out to enjoy the fresh air, OK?

A healthy cardiovascular system means making sure you receive the essential vitamins, nutrients and minerals. If you have high blood pressure you are probably deficient in one or more of the most important vitamins and nutrients. The way our food is manufactured these days, everybody should be taking supplements:

Calcium up to 3000 mg daily.
Magnesium up to 1000 mg daily.
Potassium increased dosage if taking certain high blood pressure drugs
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) flax seed oil, or black currant seed oil are good sources
Garlic 2 capsules 3 times daily
Vitamin B Complex - 100mg of each B vitamin twice daily with meals. Vitamin C Bioflavinoids up to 6000 mg daily
Vitamin B6 50mg 3 times daily
Vitamin E 100 IU daily, increase to 200 IU daily after a month
(don't touch Vitamin E if you're on blood-thinning medication)
Lecithin 1 tab 3 X daily, before meals (1,200mg)
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme A
L-Arginine

One of the cheapest and most effective high blood pressure therapies: cayenne (start with 1 teaspoon a day, increase to 3 teaspoons):
taking wheat germ oil with the cayenne, and adding
Hawthorn Berry in combination, Heart Syrup, tea or powder, gives best results for many.

Drink filtered tap water, or better still steam distilled water (1 oz. for each lb of body weight daily). Ignore the rumour (started by a competing filter manufacturer no doubt) about distilling removing all minerals: you'll get your share of minerals from the other recommendations.

Cut salt from your diet: anything with sodium, salt, soda or the Na symbol on the label, and avoid all baking soda, MSG, Aspartame and foods high in preservatives (excessive shelf life). You should also avoid animal fats, aged cheese, caffiene, alcohol, drugs and tobacco.

If you are on any blood pressure medication containing MAO inhibitor, avoid anything that contains the chemical tyramine or tyrosine: combination with either of these chemicals can lead to a stroke.

Together, all these measures will keep you safely out of the hands of the regular health system, but try these links for further money-saving information. You're determined to stop contributing to PharmaCartel profits, right?

BTW  I'm glad you asked about the photo: yes, I take a daily medicinal glass (the photographer insisted on a photographic wine-glass for the camera), either a shiraz or merlot cabernet. I shopped around till I found a really good naturopath doctor, and she says just one glass will give me all the bioflavinoids I need for the day. How happy do you s'pose I am with such excellent advice :) ?

    Likewise i would recommend the intake of milled flax seed for hypertensive individuals. Rich in Omega 3, dietary fibers and lignans, all these nutrients will surely work to curb down hypertension and enhance cardiovascular health.

    Hi Mike, you got a very informative lens! I would recommend your article as a good reading material for those with hypertension. You are probably right, hypertension could be the result of a vitamineral deficiency and theintake of nutritious food plus cutting back on fat and salt can resolve this.
