Hypertension Down: My Research, Findings & Success! A 31 Day Meal Plan to Freedom - 7 Potent & Tested Natural Remedies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781984100450)

I come from a family where everyone suffers from high blood pressure. Growing up I knew every sibling of my mother (there were 11 of them including my mother) and my grandfather; all had hypertension. Some had it in more severe form than others.

My mother had one of the more acute forms, where she would faint and pass out without any prior warning, and it took a lot to bring her back. I used to monitor her pressure once a day as we maintained a chart for her. On a typical good day her BP would read 145/95, and on a bad day, it would read 210/125. She started on BP medication when she was 27, she is now 76, and she never stopped taking them until last year. We reduced her dosages gradually and finally last year she became medicine free thanks to a new diet plan.

My parents had three children; I am the middle one. My sister (the youngest), was first diagnosed with hypertension at the age of 24, since then she has been on medication. My brother and I both got on medication in our early 30's. I am now 51 and my brother 54, I happy to report, we both are now medicine free.

In last five years, one of my life goals was to find a way to heal from this disease, as I hated to be dependent on such medications every day. I took my time and read little over 20 some books and spent hours every week online reading up on various remedies, took notes, and discussed my findings with a good friend who is also an MD in internal medicine.

Slowly I started to see a pattern of healing through food. I drew one conclusion that food is the key to healing this deadly disease. Once I narrowed this down, I started testing various food groups and noting down my own BP numbers; I started to see some significant difference. I felt better than ever before, and I was able to stop my medication. I knew I was on the right track. It took little over a year of tweaking and testing various foods before I could ask anyone else to be that guinea pig. The very first person was my brother, I gave him a 31-day meal plan and told him to try it. The result was truly amazing, His average BP numbers were between 135/90 to 175/110, but after just six weeks on the diet plan, it had dropped to a more manageable range of 175/70 to 190/80.

Next, I asked mom to try it, and I am happy to report, she too is now meds free. Since then, I have offered this plan to many our extended family members where 80% of them saw great success in managing their hypertension.

In this book, I share my findings and the meal plans that freed us from medication. I strongly believe that if you follow this plan just for 31 days, you too will see a significant difference. But one word of advice, before deciding to go off your medication, please ask your doctor if that is something you can do or not.
