Dear All,
I have noticed that, some of the comments are specifically directed to medications that someone is mentioning "cure your pathology".
Let me explain something first.
For all those persons taking medications for high blood pressure. "The medications you are taking regardless brand name, is not curing your pathology. As your primary doctors call it "they are only controlling your blood pressure". Means; they are giving you a medication to make your heart work a little slower.
So as you can see you are not getting medication to get cure. Also, medications to control high blood pressure, regardless brand name has a secondary side effects, such as:
feeling light-headed, fainting;
urinating more or less than usual, or not at all;
fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
pale skin, feeling light-headed or short of breath, rapid heart rate, trouble concentrating;
easy bruising, unusual bleeding (nose, mouth, vagina, or rectum), purple or red pinpoint spots under your skin;
fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeats;
chest pain; or swelling, rapid weight gain.

Hello,

Thank you for that information! You are correct in saying that medications prescribed for high blood pressure will not the cure the problem. I wouldn't say there is a cure for high blood pressure since it isn't a disease, but studies show that most people can keep their blood pressure at a normal level if they maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a clean diet full of fruits and vegetable, as well as implement an exercise regime.

Here are some suggestions for lowering blood pressure without medication:

Cayenne Pepper: helps adjust blood pressure to normal levels.

Limit high-carbohydrate foods such as potatoes, rice, pasta and bread.

Significantly increase high carb raw fruit and vegetable intake. Natural sugar from fresh raw fruit wont give you the food coma you get with starchy foods, no matter how much you have.

Find ways to keep your self mostly stress free- some practice yoga and meditation or use supplements such as holy basil or chamomile.

NOTE: Always consult your doctor before trying new supplements, especially if you are currently taking medications that may interact.

I hope this helps!
