Severe High Blood Pressure

[brebre1]

Hi ,
My name is Bre and I wanted to really do this lifestyle.
I have high blood pressure to the point that I had a mini-stroke.
Thank God I am ok, but I gotta do something. I am on 4 medications to control my blood pressure.
What do you guys think of garlic? My doc is not impressed.

Thanks
Bre

i say ditch the docs and meds asap. well as soon as u can anyhow.

garlic is no good, just eat healthy ,,, that by itself should do it,
the thing is , life is simple, everything is simple
people tend to want complicated solutions as if that means something,
not everything that cost more is necessarily better per say , you know<

stay away from dairy , bread, sugars, eat natural , or as natural as u can
;)

take care Godbless

Hi Bre and welcome to RFT!

I met a guy at a Raw Meetup whose doctor put him on BP meds. He took the meds for about 2 or 3 weeks and - having gone raw in the meantime - was able to lower his BP and give up the meds in no time at all.

Stay raw!

Lots of Love,

Cynthia

Would NOT stop your meds as someone suggested. I was in a similar situation when I first started raw, but within a relatively short time, was able to greatly reduce and/or eliminate a lot of the medications.

Wishing you much success on your raw journey ~ C

Celery and cucumber are both diuretics. That could help because a diuretic pill is one of the most commonly prescribed medications for high blood pressure.

A raw diet should improve your blood pressure. It brought my bp down from moderate-high to optimal. My brother has dangerously elevated blood pressure. Raw brought his bp down from 260 to 190. Still too high, he is doing raw and taking a diuretic, also making some lifestyle changes to release stress.

As you improve your blood pressure naturally using food as medicine, the doctor can lower your medications as needed.

Healthy regards and Happy healing. :D

The raw food diet helped you with CHF? I also have that as well.
How many meds were you able to do away with?
Thanks
Bre
