My Personal Battle with High Blood Pressure Part 3...
Dear Friend,
Right!!! NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH ME!!!!
I simply had 'essential' or idiopathic hypertension.
Essential and Idiopathic what great words. I never could figure out what was so essential about high blood pressure.
The word idiopathic loosely translated means ' without cause'. In my mind it means we doctors are idiots!
I had to include myself in this realm when I found out that one of the beloved prescription drugs I had taken for terrible shin splints from running long distances caused high blood pressure in some people. That drug was Vioxx which has since come under fire for causing increases in heart attacks as well as renal failure to name a few
It was a new drug in those days and not much publicity had been given to these facts. Surprise Surprise.
Unfortunately even stopping the Vioxx didn't completely resolve my problem. I still had high blood pressure and was still on several medicines.
It was out of desperation that I began to research alternative therapies.
I felt so terrible from the drugs and their side effects that I knew I couldn't' go on like that. Maybe I would have to live as long as I could with a blood pressure in the 160's
Truth be told I was pretty pissed off!
I had run Marathons and was in great aerobic shape. I could lift 50% more than my body weight in the bench press and almost my body weight overhead. Most times I ate well.
I took no vitamins and supplements at all. I was a total skeptic. I thought they were total rip offs and B. S.
I thought any doctor or anyone for that matter who used them was a charlatan or at least someone who liked to waste money!
In short I was the biggest critic and skeptic you could be. this is why I repeatedly tout the benefits of my products to you. I know how disbelieving a person can be about all this.
I just literally had run out of options and had nothing to lose!!
Well I started to research supplements and natural therapies. Fish Oil was not the first one I came across believe it or not.
The first thing I did was to increase my magnesium intake and to take as many of those dreaded horse pill potassium as was needed to get my numbers well into the normal range.
That helped a tiny little bit.
Then I tried Hawthorne and Fokshili. These 2 brought me down into the normal range with all the meds still onboard. A least I was making progress.
Then I started to add in Fish Oil. First 2 capsules then 4 and so on. Amazingly I had a very significant drop in my blood pressure and was able to stop the water pill and the potassium.
Then I added CoQ and Carnitene I big doses and this brought me down to where I could stop all of the meds within about 2 months.
Notice this did not happen overnight. It took about 5 months until I got off of all drugs. Needless to say I felt 1000% better on just the supplements.
Currently I no longer need the Hawthorne or fokshili or the olive leaf extract I was also using to keep my blood pressure down. Fish Oil and Regenerizer do the job for me just fine.
This morning I had several nurses in the office demonstrating a special home blood pressure monitoring system. My pressure was 104/64.
I would also like to thank Matt Furey World champion Wrestler and author of combat conditioning for teaching me his special meditation exercises during one of my visits to train with him.
They were definitely a huge help in calming my mind and thus calming my blood pressure.
I know we are not supposed to use the word 'cure' with high blood pressure. It was pounded into my brain in medical school that it was treatable but not curable.
Well to any of the prof's out there that taught me that, and to any of the authors of the Medical Textbooks that continue to write about it, I AM CURED!!!!
At that point I was a 'Convert' to alternative and complementary medicine. Because of my research I decided to pursue anti-aging medicine as a career, and well, the rest as they say is history.
I cannot promise you that you will have the same results as I did. I am convinced that I was suffering from a 'Fish Oil deficiency' e.g. low Omega 3 fatty acids.
I can tell you that fish Oil is recognized by many different medical authorities as an effective way to lower your blood pressure.
If you are like me you might be able to get off prescription drugs completely. If not at the very least you may be able to lessen your dependence on them.
