While its still too high, its an improvement! I want it to be 110/70 :D

That's awesome, Peter. Your kidneys thank you.

[Peter Parker]

why, thank you :)


Whats your blood pressure? My pulse is usually high too. Havent checked it today usually its around 96. Z0o0o0m!

I want my resting pulse like Lance Armstrongs. Its like 40!! (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=lance+armstrong%27s+resting+pulse&spell=1) or so I read.

I need to go buy a bike and ride the wheels off of it.

Hi again Peter Parker.

I have an excellent testimony to raw regarding blood pressure.

When I was 31 (I'm 42 now) I was put on meds for high blood pressure. After 10 years of Adalat XL and 2 years of a water pill added to that, I'm finally off them both. I think the process began a few years ago when I first went vegatarian. Then at the end of January when I finally went raw vegan for a 21 day stretch...I ended up in the hospital with very low blood pressure and very low potassium. (Which can be dangerous to the heart)

Having said that, let me explain. What I think happened was that because of my blood pressure getting lower and lower over the time I'd been vegatarian and then vegan, the water pill was leaching all of the potassium out of my body. Which apparently, it can do.

I am now off both meds! I haven't been eating that well again for a few months and my blood pressure has been sneaking back up. Sooo, I'm back here. High raw again and I'm learning that as long as I stay high raw with no animal products, I'm alright. Doctors have said I'd be on the meds for life. Ha! What a cage they put us in.

Anyhow, congratulations on your lowering blood pressure, this really works!

Yipeee!!!!! Peter...... :)

I just had mine done yesterday and it was 113/83. Healing feels good.

[Secret Heart]

BP average 113/73. Pulse: 48

I check my blood pressure a couple of times per day (just for the heck of it - it started with me just wanting a baseline but it's so much fun to use the machine and it's right beside my computer).

I'm usually 90-110 over 60-75 with a resting pulse of around 50-65 (depending on whether or not what I'm seeing on the computer at the time is really pissing me off or not).

I'm not yet 100% raw and I (apparantly) was not eating SAD in the first place. Plus I workout hard 10-15 hours per week. Working out is importatnt.

I want Lance's bp too but I don't think it's in my genetics. Or maybe it's because I'm not in as great a shape as I thought. I'm certainly not in Lance shape - but I'm not genetically destined to get his VO2 Max either.

:(

[starry-eyed-doe]

[Peter Parker]

Another thing that made me challenge myself to 100 percent raw as soon as I get the book & DVD from Alissa. They're on the way :D

I challenge everyone on this board to 100 percent. LETS DO IT !!!!

Today so far I would be 100% if my orange juice wasnt pasteurized :mad:


Forced me to go buy some oranges and use the citrus juicer I have. :p

[Peter Parker]

[Dawn39]

Okay at first Dawn was looking up natural SPIDER repellents!!!!!!!! :p :p

[misslinda]

Isn't Sheryl Crow lucky?!?!?!?!? :p He is HOT in his postal jig :p :p :p


Shannon, i missed that --off both meds????? It felt like yesterday when You were so worried--remember???? I recall that thread you wrote to Alissa--you were so worried about how to heal............now look at you!!!!! :) :)

[Peter Parker]

rock n roll!
Congrats on the healing!!!


I saw Sheryl Crow live before, I enjoy her music :)

[Ireland]

Yup, off both meds after so many years! Showed the docs a thing or two about the body healing itself. :)

Took some prayer, some tears and determination. Oh yeah, and lots of raw food. That's it. :)

[RawTruth]

I had a physical last week (just a quickie to meet some regulations) and it was taken twice. Ummm ... the first time was like 100/76 and the second was 80/52.

As far as your challenge, M, I've got a 6 month jump on you. But, jump on board. It's absolutely terrific. And, dare I say, not that hard with the right resources (you'll have some of 'em soon and I now you've got the equipment), the right attitude, and a whole lot of persistence. Oh, and ya have to get rid of any self-sabotage that may be hiding in the corners. That said ... way cool. Don't wait till you get her book!

[rawpriestess]

Blood preasure when cooked was death 248/176 resting pulse rate 174

NOW, it is 142/76 resting pulse rate 74

I still weigh over 200 pounds, so I imagine it will continue to go down.

When I was young it was 128/70 resting pulse rate 50-60 Depending on how cute the guy was taking my blood preasure.

Ahhhh no wonder! That's explains my BP in the ambulance last month......he was cute! :D :p ;)

Yeah, Peter. I bought a case of 100 Live Strong bracelets from his cancer foundation and I gave them out to people. Love Lance!!
