What goes in must come out

Hey, Guess what!
I'm making progress with the blood pressure. I've not totally let go of pharmaceuticals but I'm getting close. I believe that you can regain control of your pressure and eliminate the need for medicine.

One key to my current success is a competent and open minded physician. Her advise, knowledge and support have been an incredible assistance. I also worked with a competent Acupuncturist. I think it might have been possible to it with the Acupuncturist alone but since I was working on this long before I met my current Acupuncturist, I thought it better to keep both. The combination of treatments were a perfect complement. The MD served as overall support by documenting my progress, providing my regular check ups and doing tests. The LAc's provided the needlework, herbs and other treatments. But I have to give my own will and determination a lot of credit as well. It is not an easy task and it took me a long time to get here. That said.

A balanced diet is a good step. The digestive system plays a huge part in what goes on inside the body. Barring hereditary conditions, it is my belief that any condition of the body can be influenced by what a person eats, what s/he is exposed to and what he does. The first thing I did was cleanse my digestive tract. You wouldn't eat off a dirty plate would you? In the process of cleansing I discovered quite a bit about my personal health habits.

Taking a good hard look at ones self is the first place to start. If there is a need for pharmaceuticals or there is any kind of disease or discomfort, then there is a good indication that something is out of balance. You don't start exhibiting symptoms without having some underlying imbalance. I made it my business to make sure that I was doing my part to make sure that I was contributing to my own balance and well being. So I read and listened to what others had to say about digestion. I asked people who have been sucessful in lowering their pressure what did they do? Interesting enought I found that the best blood pressure lowering remedies were not well known or documented by the medical community. However I could not discount their opinion totally. I chose to listen to them as well and to abide as much as I could to what I was told. Hence, the pharmaceuticals.
