NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE
Knowing how to get normal blood pressure naturally deserves a whole page of it's own. I have struggled since 2000 to stay off of blood pressure medication from my physician. So let's address it here and now! I have tremendous heart disease on my father's side of the family. My father died at 61 of heart failure while on the prep table getting ready for by-pass surgery. His heart just blew up, and there was nothing they could do. He couldn't have been under better care at the time. My last of five uncles passed away this last year just after heart surgery as well. Another one of the uncles died suddenly and tragically in his mid-40's. None of them had normal blood pressure.
****IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD!
My high blood pressure trauma started when I hurt my back in 2000 and began living with chronic back pain. It took three years to find a treatment that worked called Radio Wave Ablation (RF) (picture opens link), where they burned the nerves in the damaged facet joints of the lower back. Meanwhile................ ***I began taking all sorts of muscle relaxers, ***Soon I was on high blood pressure meds to counteract the pain meds causing a rise in BP readings. ***Then I was on anti-depressants to treat the depression and anxiety the blood pressure meds caused. WHAT'S GOING ON! 
So they stop the pain with RF and 4 weeks later I find I have cancer, but I get 4 years without the back pain...........until I fall down a flight of concrete steps in the rain in St. Maarten (pictured) while on vacation in October 2006! Now I have chronic back pain on both sides of the lower back. HERE WE GO AGAIN! Only this time I'm not going down that road. I've learned too much about natural cancer treatment to make the same mistakes. NO PAIN MEDS FOR ME! I deal with the pain in all the natural methods I can find. The more medications I have to use, the higher my normal blood pressure goes!
******************** Let's UNDERSTAND that HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION was meant as a SHORT TERM BANDAID to keep you alive while you fix your LIFE HABITS that caused it in the first place. They should not be a lifetime commitment! ********************
So lets jump up to December 2009 in my time line. I've just had my yearly physical....CA125 is 7, lowest reading yet for a cancer marker. My cholestrol, triglicerides, HDL and LDL are all at a very good rate. But the back pain is back after the last RF surgery in September. I only got 2 months relief from the pain.....but, maybe the next one in March 2010 will do it. I'm having to take lots of pain meds just to get some sleep. February 15, 2009 I'm at the emergency room with blood pressure measuring 215/121!!!!!!!!!!! What is going on? So guess what? I'm back on medication again to get back to a normal blood pressure. I'm not very happy about this! But I'm determined to get off them ASAP. So I'm looking for something more that is a natural method of correcting the imbalance in my system that is causing the high blood pressure. THIS IS WHAT I DID! I found research that L-arginine (opens info link) at 5000 mg and L-taurine at 500 mg can be very effective in relaxing the heart and arteries because they produce a gas substance called NITRIC OXIDE. This gas is created internally when we exercise, which is why exercise helps keep us heart healthy! (I never got that explained to me before.) 
I am currently using the brand by Morningstar Minerals (pictured) as it is available locally at the Vitamin Shoppe, and online if you don't have a store. But there are many brands to chose from. Taking it in the liquid form is more important. BUT I HAVE CHRONIC BACK PAIN AND DON'T EXERCISE AT ALL! Problem cause Number 1 ---- Lack of Excercise! Problem cause Number 2 ---- Pain medications! Problem cause Number 3 ---- Stress of being in pain! Problem cause Number 4 ---- Poor diet habits! Next I had to look at my diet habits to see what went wrong. I found that I had fallen back into old eating habits of way too much cooked meats and starches. I'm really a carbohydrate addict, truth be known, and it caused my normal blood pressure to creep up dangerously high. My digestion had gotten really off during the holidays, my pH had dropped, I had gained a few pounds and I just wasn't paying attention to signs my body was giving me to get my act together! The pain was distracting me! So the second plan of attack to get to normal blood pressure was to correct digestion. I found research that when we eat a diet high in cooked and processed food, we do not get adequate enzymes for optimum digestion. So I found a wonderful systemic enzyme formula right from my own supplier of Coral Calcium supplements, and started on then immediately. You see there are molecules primarily from wheat, corn and dairy products that are only partially digested in the intestines. Once they are absorbed into the bloodstream our immune system treats them as enemy invaders, and the body can get overwhelmed and unable to eliminate them through the organs. So it stores them in soft tissue (like in my fat) and they are constantly attacked resulting in a state of inflammation that never really goes away. THIS IS WHAT DOCTORS CALL AN AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER As well the higher the pH of your blood, the more active the enzymes. Most proteolytic enzymes work the best in an alkaline body. So if your pH drops below 6.5, you are in trouble internally. I LOVE WHEAT, CORN, DAIRY AND MEAT! All of these are acid producing. My pH had dropped and I had not been testing it regularly. It had stayed at the 7.0 range for years since the hysterectomy and cancer treatment. I just got lazy and careless with my health, and things can change rather quickly. So as of the writing of this in March 2010, because my daily normal blood pressure is consistent, I have cut my dosage of high blood pressure meds down by HALF BY DOING THIS: *****getting a handle on raising my pH
I'm also due for my yearly cancer treatment at Dr. Cora's Bio Intergrative Health Center in Reno, Nevada in April for some EDTA CHELATION that will fantastically dissolve arterial plaque. I plan to be off the meds in another 2 months altogether with a steady normal blood pressure reading. I'm getting some exercise daily on my recumbent bike to produce those natural NITRIC OXIDE gases that keep my arteries clean, and eating a more raw food diet with lots of enzymes, and cutting back on the more acid foods (see list). HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE is nothing to take lightly, and you can get normal blood pressure naturally with some lifestyle changes! Back to Internal Cleansing Detox
