Yes! My mother kept falling. I got her off her BP meds and made sure she ate the right amount of salt. No more falls! I share her story in this video. https://youtu.be/kwgUIYiiOU8?si=OhbwV1_JJb5hxpzH Thank you, Vigilant Fox!!!❤️

In all reality what does anybody have to lose by following these common sense practices? Walk bare foot on the beautiful earth, drink a lot of clean water, get sunshine for your body, take a walk and breathe fresh air, eat healthy. Shut the TV off and live without fear, throw the garbage away. Either that or just keep doing what you’re doing. The Bible tells us all of this and it’s clear. Thanks Fox, love being able to connect to your resources and listen to your channels advice.

Thank you Vigilant Fox! God did not Create these diseases Govs did! I witnessed a 28 Day old baby boy so dehydrated it took 3 nurses to get his pic in. Later I was in his room, they had him on an IV DRIP of PREVACID! For Colic! It horrified me! I told his momma about Fennel seed which is in all spice isles of grocery stores! I told her how to make him tea then you Walk and Walk and we call it Bonding! ❤️ I wore a path in my carpet with my son. And people don't see! Just cause someone's wearing a white lab coat does not make them smarter than you about your Health! God Bless

My blood pressure was really high a few years ago. Usually 150s/90s and occasionally even higher, with a resting heart rate in the 90s. I started taking celery seed extract and olive leaf extract, powdered pomegranate, lost about 40 pounds by going lower carb and no meals or even snacking after 6 pm, and started walking a few miles a day regularly. I'm 61 now, and it tests about 110/60 and my resting heart rate is around 60. No medication whatsoever.

That’s awesome 1-4-9, I am not quite there yet and working on better every day. But it just feels real good putting your health and decisions into your own hands. We have a lot to say and do when it comes to our health. Cutting out the negative, unhealthy, stressful & bad things in our lives is something we have control over. Shut off the TV, read the Bible, meditate & pray. It does wonders for you & your outlook.

Yeah, I had some serious health issues a year or two before covid and was gaslit by doctors. I guess in a way I'm glad it happened because I swore off doctors and started taking my health into my own hands. When covid happened I was already in "no way I'm ever listening doctors again" mode and never thought twice about taking the vaccine. I think a lot of people are waking up.

Just a standard capsule of the celery seed and olive leaf extracts. I use Now brand but I'm sure there are others. I read that celery seed has a chemical called 3n-butylphthalide and olive leaf has oleuropein and both can help lower bp. The pomegranate I take is Micro Organics freeze dried powder, but again I'm sure any reputable brand is fine. I take a 5 gram scoop of that mixed in a little water. Tastes like drinking a shot of fruit juice. I've read that it can help clean your arteries. Who knows how much is the weight loss, how much is the exercise, and how much is the herbal products, but it worked for me. It didn't happen overnight for sure and I can't remember which now, top or bottom number, but one of the bp numbers started dropping fairly quickly, but the other number took quite a while to drop, like months.

Edit: I checked my search history and it was the top number. It stayed high so long I was searching isolated high systolic blood pressure. It finally came down though. Couldn't tell you the reason and if that's common using these supplements, just my experience.

40% to 60% of Americans have the MTHFR GENETIC MUTATION. This mutation increases the risk for cancer and heart disease and hyperhomocystine in the blood.

Go to your general practitioner and ask him or her to test you for the MTHFR genetic mutation. If you have it, then stop taking folic acid and start taking methylfolate in its place. By eliminating FOLIC ACID, you will reduce homocysteine thereby reducing your high blood pressure.

That’s another good reason to avoid folic acid and to take methylfolate instead.

You avoid amino acids?

Jeseph Tumbarello's avatar

No, I don’t avoid amino acids. I don’t know of any reason why I should. But I, as an MTHFR genetic mutation patient, know that when I take B-complex along with extra B12 and extra methylfolate, my blood pressure lowers to an acceptable level.

In addition to the increased cancer risk and increased cardiovascular risk in those with MTHFR genetic mutation and who also consume food products with folic acid, they also suffer from peripheral neuropathy, which is caused by a decrease of vitamin B6 in the cells of the body. NOTICE— I said CELLS of the body, NOT SERUM of the body.

For some reason, folic acid blocks vitamin B six from entering the cells of the body and keeps the vitamin B6 in the bloodstream. The vitamin B6 starved tissue causes peripheral neuropathy while the bloodstream shows and access amount of vitamin B6 in the serum.

I had to educate many doctors to convince them that vitamin B6 in the blood does not equate to vitamin B6 in the cells. You need vitamin B6 in the cells for it to work.

It is kind of confusing when you talk about B12 and extra methylfolate as if they aren't B-complex vitamins.

Or had the jab. Just lost a beloved Aunt who was in her 90s, happily living alone with her gardening and without a hint of dementia until the jabs started a series of complications starting with DVT, pulmonary embolism from which she largely recovered, but then dementia, recurrent infections, falls, broken leg and at least one stroke. May she RIP! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

It infuriates me what the "health care" system has turned into. Very far and few actually care about getting to the root cause of people's problems, and its not even really their fault. The average primary care doctor has roughly 1,500 to 2,000 patients that they oversee. They're overworked and aren't even getting the full amount of sleep they should be getting. They're also being taught in medical school that what they should be doing is selling these drugs to people, instead of looking for root causes and looking for natural renedies, such as the ones suggested in this article. The system is fucked and needs to be redone.

I'm one of those who tend to show elevated BP when I go to the doctor. My cardiologist noticed it during an annual checkup and took another measurement at the end of my appointment. It was in the "ideal" range.

He told me virtually everyone gets their BP measured incorrectly. According to him, when BP "standards" were established, the correct way to measure is to make sure your pulse is at its resting rate, then sit calmly for at least 10 minutes before taking a reading. Sit calmly for another 10 minutes, take another reading. Your "real" BP will be around the midpoint of the two readings. He also cautioned me that if you need to urinate, don't take your BP...it will almost invariably run high. I experimented a bit, and he's right.

None of this of course has anything to do with the root causes of elevated BP or the best way to treat it, but I find it interesting that doctors and nurses get all worked up about a patient having high BP when they're almost certainly taking it wrong.

I suggest that BP reflects a value relative to one's overall health status. It should reflect the reality. And if one artificially shifts that, one affects the whole. But the body seeks homeostasis.

120/80 reflects the 66.6% ratio inherent in the universe, which is derived from Phi as it condenses from 61.8%

It's kind of an accepted ideal - but not a rule. It responds according to natural states of health and activity. Part of an holistic set of relative equations in the complex system.

Treating it as a symptom sometimes leads to over-correction, and the 'cure' becomes a cause.

It shouldn't be viewed as pathological unless it hits values that cause knock-on problems, such as pressure issues that may breach blood vessels or strain the circulatory system, or damage kidneys etc. etc.

BP will change naturally day to day, hour by hour, but will average out as a mean value.

I take 120/80 as an 'ideal' but don't sweat it when it doesn't conform, unless it indicates a pathological condition underlying. The ratio is generally maintained ideally. But that's too simplistic too - everyone is unique.

Ever noticed your breathing at rest? Does it conform to Fibonacci? Such as 5 second in and 8 out? Or ratios of that? We run on interlocking equations governed by Phi - and often see symptoms and not cause. treat the symptoms that are secondary or tertiary causative factors. Often missing the primary cause, that has affected the prime ratios.

NO...there is NOT a 66.6% ratio in the universe...there IS a 68% ratio of dark energy and 5% ratio of ordinary matter...

Since they can't detect dark energy, why is the ratio important?

Respectfully, view my work that answers the baryon conundrum. Time to readjust our equations from the errors of the past derived from the assumption of particle physics in the quantum realm.

There IS an imbalance of energy - but ixos elegantly explains it.

Simply start at the beginning, work through - use ai to confirm if you like. It's all there in perfect harmony now, for all to see.

My husband is 64 and on two BP medications. He has been dizzy from the drugs, and one day he zoned out and started trembling, almost like he was having a mini seizure. It was quick, maybe 30 seconds, but it scared me. Pretty regularly when he stands up or gets out of the car, he has to stop for a minute because he's so dizzy. He has told his cardiologist about this. His response was a) get up more slowly and b) he switched him to a different statin.

His first BP number was over 140 before the meds, so I don't know think the studies in this article are applicable to him. I don't like the idea of him being on statins as I've previously read negative things about these drugs, but I'm also scared because his BP was very high. My brother-in-law, who is a retired doctor, said my husband should be on statins.

My husband is overweight and his father had heart disease, which adds to my concern. He's trying to lose weight and is exercising. But until there is a significant change in his weight, I don't feel comfortable having him go off the statins.

I welcome any advice from people on this forum, especially those who have or had high BP.

It depends on how he was testing his blood pressure. It’s best to lie down flat, quietly for at least 10 minutes before you take your first reading. And then take several readings after that. I find that a lot of people are not taking their blood pressure correctly at home, and then the doctor slapped him on medication.

Diatomaceous earth and chanca piedra natural and they lower blood pressure

Also, magnesium is really important. Dr. Ardis says that we need at least 500 mg per day, he even says 10.6 mg/kg of body weight. You could consider starting on 400 mg once a day, magnesium glycinate is pretty easy on the stomach and you can mix it with water.

Thank you. I will look into this. I take magnesium and D3 daily, although with some other supplements. My husband doesn't take any supplements but I think I can persuade him.

I'm an 81 yr old male retiree with 72kg body weight, a cardiac pacemaker due to calcified aortic valve replacement and no co-morbidities other than a 30yr spontaneous non-productive dry cough. Otherwise I am active, mobile and upright. The dry cough started 30 years ago when I was 87kg and diagnosed with 95/145 "hypertension" that apparently required life-long medication with TA, (telmisartan/amlodypine 80/5mg). Nexium was added later but had no effect so I stopped taking that 10 years ago. Both TA and Nexium provide side effects including "dry cough"! The cough is annoying and people shrink from me as if I am an infectious Covidian - which I am not! My medico maintains I must continue with TA but I am inclined to stop taking it as I have no cardiac symptoms since the pacemaker and artificial aortic valve were implanted. And my bp is constant at 70/130.

What do you think, am I "captured"?

BTW, I have never been athletic but I walked 1000km on the Spanish Camino in 2017 totally unaided at age 74 years. The pacemaker and valve replacement came by in 2021 after 36 hours of moderate chest pains.
