    Clonidine keeps my BP in check.

    My BP for my physical this past April was 134/88.

    Not bad for a fat lazy diabetic old pervert.;)

    IMHO I think it's folly to just go out and take some medication to try and "cure" a problem. I would want to know why you have high BP in the first place. There's a myriad of reasons for BP to be high. Being overweight is the main reason, but long term If I had high BP I would investigate how I can lower it naturally, rather than lining the pockets of the greedy drug companies. Once you're on any kind of medication it's very difficult to kick them. But I'm sure opinions will vary on this topic.

    TMI! But thanks I thought I was just getting old. Since I changed to Amlodipine well that's another story. ;-)

    Yep, just looking at some women works better than viagra.

    I take 360 mg. Diovan and 3 Metformin daily with no side effects. Also take cinammon capsules twice a day to help regulate blood sugar and it works.

    Yes, it does help. Some mentioned aspirin; I take an 81mg. everyday. I remember when I was growing up in the country, old people used to take an aspirin a day. They claimed it made them live longer by reducing heart attack risks. I scoffed at that, but now it's been proven true. Recent studies show it may reduce by 50% or more, the chance of pancreatic cancer.

    The real solution is to address the cause. Taking a drug for high blood pressure is like putting a bandaid on a skin cancer. Hides the symptoms but does nothing for the cause.

    Addressing the cause takes a serious diet change, (stop putting junk in) and cleansing the body from all the junk accumulated from a poor diet/lifestyle. The diet should be an all natural diet of all whole foods, going really light on the animal sourced fats and heated/modified oils. Ideally all fats should come from vegetarian sources, like raw nuts and avacados kind of fare. Then cleansing can be accomplished with some herbal mixtures, the best source I know of is what's made by Dr Shultz. www.herbdoc.com
    Then some decent exercise every day makes everything work better.

    When I took the physical the nurse was surprised at how perfect all my tests were, usually fellas getting to my age are getting a good start on the usual ailments. Perfect blood pressure and no health issues of any kind. I think that's because my mother raised me on pretty much all whole foods, and I've kept it up more or less. As well as having taken several of those cleansing herbal treatments. (we make our own mix since my brother is the herbal expert) I used the kidney cleanse once and it really worked well. Clogged kidneys is one cause for high blood pressure among others.

    Oh and I mentioned skin cancer, that can be removed with a simple preparation of blood root and zinc chloride. doesn't take much. it'll kill the cancer and draw it out, leaves a nasty hole which will heal. However be aware that the official system of medicine warns against the stuff. But why? They loose money every time someone fixes their own problem with a cheap remedy that works.


    Oh and too much fat in the diet along with too much processed food is what's creating the blood sugar problems. Correct that and then get some soybeans and roast them to a dark brown, grind and make coffee out of them. a cup every day. That'll help straiten out blood sugar issues. That's not just a coverup, It'll fix it as long as ya don't keep creating the problem by what ya eat.
