In my last post about High Blood Pressure, point out your High Blood Pressure Isn't The Cause Of Heart Disease. I also mentioned the fact that half of heart attacks happen to people without clinically High Blood Pressure. The other half of course, happens to people with hypertension.
Having hypertension is definitely a tell-tale "sign" you are in a high risk category. My whole point is that heart disease is NOT caused by hypertension.
Still too many of us are under the false impression that treating the symptoms is the same as treating the cause.
The reasons for High Blood Pressure can be many and it is clearly not good to have sustained high levels of blood pressure. If you are suffering from the onset of heart disease HBP will kill you even quicker.
It is vital to keep it under control, but how can you do this naturally?
What is causing heart disease and can you address the cause of it while also reducing the risk of developing hypertension? Just because your blood pressure reading was high in your doctors office today doesn't mean you have to take drugs for HBP at all.
In fact many people are misdiagnosed with HBP because of White Coat Hypertension. This common phenomenon is triggered by psychological factors, such as the fear of doctors.
Another common problem is doctors and nurses often use an arm cuff that is too small, giving the false impression you have a blood pressure problem. "A survey showed that 96% of primary care physicians habitually use a cuff size too small," (Thomas G Pickering, 1994).
My point is to discover how to "genuinely care" for your own health, before you take someone else's recommendations, doctor or not.
Most people who develop heart disease have common factors that are present before hypertension becomes apparent. The basic problem of course is inflammation.
Here are 7 possible causes of the inflammation problem:
1. Dehydration
2. High calcium blood levels
3. Low vitamin D
4. Calcification of arterial linings
5. Magnesium deficiency
6. Neurogenic abnormalities
7. High blood sugar
No where in all the evidence-based research available can I find where a drug deficiency is the cause of hypertension or heart disease. If taking drugs was the solution no one would have a heart attack while taking the drugs. My biggest concern is why are people with normal blood pressure having heart attacks? The pharmaceutical companies would have you believe they all have high blood pressure and that's just not true.
I realize any study can be skewed to show a desired result and I'm sure in some groups more than 50% who have heart attacks have HBP. But I also know the opposite to be true as well.
Bottom line is rather than argue statistics; people are dying with and without High Blood Pressure from the same heart attacks. If you are clinically diagnosed with hypertension, you need to work with your doctor to keep a watchful eye on it . . . however there are more things you need to do.
Just because the High Blood Pressure drugs you're taking has your blood pressure controlled chemically, doesn't necessarily mean the causal risks are gone. There is no magic pill that is going to cure you by treating "the effect," or "symptom," of a core health issue.
High blood pressure is one of the signs that you may be at risk for heart attack or stroke, there is no doubt about that. If your heart is weakened and your arteries are damaged you need to know why.
By understanding why, you are a whole step ahead of western medicine. There is a self-health revolution happening with both doctors and patients in the world today. The body has a natural ability to "heal itself," without drugs. Some call it an inner wisdom, or innate intelligence, all you need to do is work with it.
Drugs do not work with the mystery that is your body; they chemically control parts without helping the whole person at all.

So if you are on High Blood Pressure medications ask your doctor if he or she can help you get away from them. If you are willing to change your life by making a commitment to natural healthful solutions, why shouldn't you be encouraged?
