High blood pressure is a serious issue that can kill or permanently impair you, and it should not be ignored. However, it is important to remember that high blood pressure normally kills you slowly over time.

If your systolic blood pressure is over 160-180 there is a danger that you could have a stroke, so you need to be careful about stopping your blood pressure medications without monitoring your blood pressure.

The good news here is that you normalize your high blood pressure without taking high-priced drugs.

The first step is to cut all grains and sweets from you diet until your blood pressure and weight normalize. Insulin is a major factor as to why high blood pressure persists, that is why it is vitally important to avoid foods like grains and sugars.

Another way to lower your insulin levels would be to use exercise as a drug. Most overweight hypertensive patients require about 6-9 hours of relatively intense exercise per week (hard enough where they have problems comfortably talking to someone). This intensity is required to decrease the sensitivity of the insulin receptors.

Most hypertensive patients have insulin receptors that are blunted, they don't work very well anymore and therefore the body needs to generate more insulin to get them to work.

It is very important to note that insulin is not the only cause of raised blood pressure. Simply makes no sense to me for anyone with high blood pressure to be drinking any caffeinated drinks as they can raise your blood pressure and distort important hormonal balances.

Emotional stress also plays an important role. Emotional stress causes excessive output of the adrenals that respond very favorably to normalization of these stresses.

Fortunately, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) seems to work quite well for these stresses. You can check the EFT manual for further information on how you can learn this technique.

Another natural option for high blood pressure is CardioEssentials, which contains nattokinase -- a powerful enzyme derived from the food natto. Nattokinase has been used successfully for circulatory problems for over two decades, and CardioEssentials can significantly restore normal blood flow that may impact blood pressure functionally in as little as seven to 10 days (so blood pressure should be carefully monitored during this time). 

Just remember that it is extremely important for you not to ignore the warnings that a high blood pressure reading is telling you.

If you have high blood pressure, it would be in your best interest to review Dr. Rosch's excellent summary of high blood pressure.
