Reversing Hypertension

My friend suffers diabetes and asked me to buy this book : "Reversing Diabetes" by Julian Whitaker for him. After reading and discussing the book with him, I later found out that there is this one: Reversing Hypertension by Julian Whitaker as well. Since I am currently suffering hypertension I decided to buy the book for myself. The book is pretty interesting and very helpful. I would encourage anyone who suffers hypertension to get a copy of this book as they would really find it useful. The do's and don'ts are quite to the point, and the explanation of how our body functions and the necessity to remain healthy is truly a plus to a healthy lifestyle. I am glad I bought this book and I would encourage anyone who suffers hypertension to get a copy of this book, they would never regret it.

I absolutely love this audio book series! Its very inexpensive and the advice is indispensable, not only is there recommendations on how to treat and reduce hypertension you also learn the why behind everything. For example you learn why you should take certain supplements and what the benefits are. Please do yourself or one of your family members a favor and purchase this series it may be the saving grace you were looking for!

This book has lots of good info in it I have had Diabetes for a while and this book has helped me keep my blood sugar normal without pills I recommend this book to everyone This was a great buy from Amazon again

I purchased this book for my husband and myself, who both have high blood pressure. Dr. Whitaker's simple, straight-forward explanation of this killer makes people sit up and take high blood pressure very seriously! I would recommend that anyone with this disease consider taking the supplements and vitamins he suggests in this book. You will be amazed how they make you feel. AND...did you know that eating just 4 stalks of celery a day can significantly reduce your blood pressure?!? He provides so many more helpful suggestions in this must-read book!

Dr. Whitaker is an MD who specialized in preventative medicine and natural healing. His book provides information on hypertension, its detrimental effects on the body, the typical medical approach - medications with their long list of potential side effects, and how to lower one's blood pressure naturally by eating the right kinds of food, lowering salt intake, increasing exercise, and reducing stress. Frankly, it sounds rational and straightforward, but from personal experience, it requires MAJOR changes in one's lifestyle and tremendous discipline to carry out. I do not mean for the previous statement to be negative in its tone, however, I do want to stress this is a total lifestyle makeover that not everyone will have the motivation to do. The cause of hypertension is generally not known, but Dr. Whitaker believes through his experience and research that blood pressure can be reduced and perhaps normalized through the diet and lifestyle program he presents. His contention is that the typical American diet, high in salt, fat, and sugar, all contribute greatly to the development of hypertension. So one's diet must radically and permanently change to promote a blood vessel healthy environment. He presents the different foods that actually lower blood pressure, and then discusses the role of supplementation, and finally he lists a typical diet. In order for his diet to work, it must be tried at least 4-6 weeks, and then if positive results are seen, the diet must be observed indefinitely. With his heavy emphasis on salt reduction, this means no junk-food chips, salted popcorn, and no salt shaker on the table! He recommends replacing salt with potassium chloride, as salt substitute. Lowering sugar intake means avoiding any high-calorie drink or food, such as soda pop, candy, ice cream, (or anything with high fructose corn syrup in it). Exercise is also stressed. He suggests 30 minutes of low intensity exercise (aerobic) at least 5-6 days a week. This can be as easy as going on a walk, swimming, biking, jogging, etc. Reducing one's reaction to stress provoking situations is also paramount. All of us will have stress, but it is our reaction to it that makes all the difference. He gives protocols for stress relief, and how to better manage our reaction to stress. Published in 2001, the concepts presented are as relevant today as they were 11 years ago. What Dr. Whitaker is recommending is a lifestyle change. If one is motivated enough to change one's lifestyle permanently, then this program may just normalize, or at least reduce one's blood pressure. It is well worth the read, especially the chapter on the detrimental effects of anti-hypertensive medications. kone

very good read

This book is a wealth of information whether you chose to follow it or stay within the conventional medical system. At the absolute least this book provides information to allow you to be in charge of your 'own' health care on this important issue. A best it can provide you with a safer and healthier natural alternative to unsafe and ineffective medications. I have bought 4 copies of this books and given it to people I care about.

This is a very helpful book that I had orginally checked out of the library. The copy I bought was like new. It arrived in fewer than ten days.

Good

Frente al habitual consejo médico de empezar a tomar medicinas en cuanto la tensión supera los 130/85, la visión de libros como este resulta inspiradora: la hipertensión, en muchos casos, puede tratarse y mantenerse a raya por métodos naturales. Eso sí, frente a lo fácil que resulta simplemente tomar una pastilla, hay que esforzarse un poco y tener determinación. Es interesante que este libro incluye una dieta de choque incluso para casos de tensión muy alta. En conjunto, es un libro bien escrito y de utilidad, lo recomiendo.
