Many people have asked me how to cure high blood pressure, naturally. Here is the amazing diet that consists of natural cures for high blood pressure.
If your Doctor requires you to be on medication, for reasons of safety, you can still try this diet for 6 weeks.
Then return to your Doctor, to have your cholesterol levels, and blood pressure re-tested. If you have followed the diet, strictly, your Doctor should be amazed at the changes, and may reduce or eliminate your medications.
NATURAL REMEDY FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
The foods in bold actively lower cholesterol, and should be eaten DAILY.
The foods in CAPITAL LETTERS actively lower high blood pressure.
Therefore the foods in both bold and CAPITAL LETTERS will lower both cholesterol AND high blood pressure.
The foods in neither bold nor CAPITAL LETTERS (in the left column), will not worsen cholesterol or high blood pressure.

Cigarettes |
Raises blood pressure ENORMOUSLY, due to toxic burden placed on lungs. Over 4,000 chemical compounds are created by burning a cigarette, many of which are toxic and/or carcinogenic (causes cancer). Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide and ammonia, are all present in cigarette smoke. The Surgeon General states that there are 69 known carcinogens in cigarette smoke. The Institute of Medicine estimates that smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes per day, exposes a person to the same radiation as having 2,000 chest X-rays every year. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) classifies secondhand smoke as a Group A carcinogen. |

Avoid Inversions, e.g. Shoulderstand, Headstand, Bridge, or any pose in which your head is lower than your heart. Dog stretch can be done in a modified position, with your torso horizontally stretching to a table which you can grip onto. |

SUCCESS STORIES USING THIS DIET
My mom, who is a doctor, had a checkup with her doctor a few years ago. To her surprise, she discovered she had extremely high cholesterol. Her doctor prescribed medication, but she decided she was going to try to Lower Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure naturally. She did not take any medication.
Since she was a doctor, she knew that her health would not be at risk, by delaying medication for six weeks. If you are not a doctor, it is not recommended to delay medication.
She stuck to the diet strictly for 6 weeks, then returned for a cholesterol checkup with her doctor. Her doctor was completely stunned at her cholesterol results, and told her that she no longer needed cholesterol medication!
HOME REMEDIES FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
I have a very good friend, who is 40 years old, and has a beautiful wife, and three wonderful children. He was, according to his doctors, a walking time-bomb: Meaning, he could die, literally, at ANY moment, from his excessively high cholesterol and high blood pressure. None of the medications he had tried had significantly helped at all.
I gave him the same HOME REMEDY FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE article as above. He kept to the diet, religiously for 6 weeks, and then he went to the doctor, who told him that his cholesterol and blood pressure was now 100% the same as a normal healthy 40 year old. Needless to say, the doctor was shocked at this impossible reversal, and now my friend no longer has to take medication, and will live to see his grandchildren!
