Does anyone know any good remedies? my fathers blood pressure has sky rocketed as he is worrying himself about so many things. Nothing I have tried (meditation, diet, exercise) has worked as he is and always has been a worry wart. I love my dad very much and they are threatening to put him into hospital if it doesnt improve. He is also taking medications. Can anyone offer some insight?? IP: Logged |

There's good evidence to suggest that high blood pressure is related to a calcium deficiency. While it may not be caused by this, there is a strong correlation. Calcium/magnesium supplements can significantly lower blood pressure for some people. It certainly can't hurt to try. The ratio needs to be 2:1 for maximum absorption. Get him on 2,000 mg of calcium and 1,000 mg of magnesium daily. NEVER take magnesium after a meal. It neutralizes stomach acid. Best to take these particular supplements right before bed (on an empty stomach). They will induce a very restful sleep also. After his blood pressure drops to normal, he can go down to 1,000 calcium and 500 magnesium a day. It might take a month or so to work. ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

I was going to give a brief expanation, but I think you need more than that, so I found a site with good information. I recommend CoQ10 to all my clients with high blood pressure. Good luck! http://www.worldwidelabs.com/Prod_COQ.htm ------------------ To fall in Love, is to rise. . . . ~Upendra IP: Logged |
