Question: Looking for something to assist in lowering blood pressure. I had a DOT physical today and I’m 164/90. Since I’ve never been that high before the doctor is giving me a three month grace period to lower it. I am about 40lbs overweight and intend to address my diet seriously but in the meantime, I’ve made and appt to see my family physician in 3 weeks and sure would like it to be noticeably lower by that time. What natural remedies (that work) would you suggest. I intend to search the internet after I send the email to you. Please respond ASAP…..Thanks, Terry

Answer: Terry,

I wish it was that simple!  Why is your blood pressure elevated in the first place?  Is it an issue with: weight, salt, lack of exercise, nutritional deficiencies, diabetes, pre-diabetes, stress, kidney problems, sub-acute infection, heredity, atherosclerosis or is it a combination of one or more?  Get my drift.  Picking a product off the net or having me make a blind recommendation, would be a guess at best.

If you want to do it right, you can become a distance client of mine. (In a nutshell)  I will send you the forms and you send your test results, we have a consultation over the phone and I design a personalized diet, exercise and supplement plan.  If interested, you can contact my office for initial fees and follow-ups. I have done this for 18 years and have seen many……… in the exact same situation.

Q: I have left chest wall burning pain since July of 2006. My chest wall gets hardened when cold weather hits. I have gone to my doctor, gone to the Mayo Clinic and no one can tell me the source or cause. I feel frustrated. My right arm and leg fall asleep when I am asleep at night. Please let me know if you might have a clue as to what is going on. Test results for Lupus have been negative six times tested.

A: Monica,

I would love to help but the information you are providing me is minimal at best. I would be guessing if I gave you a possible cause with just the data you provided. What you have going on would require me to actually see you.

If it were me, I would find a chiropractor who practices holistic medicine. Get some spinal adjustments (if indicated), get checked out nutritionally, get on a program (if indicated), and get exercising. I have found that the majority of all medical conditions can be corrected through: diet, exercise, chiropractic, nutritional supplements, cleansing, and exposure to the sun (under used treatment).

An analytical observation of the majority of all medical conditions proves that they are not caused by a medication deficiency. Being that these conditions are not caused by a deficiency of a particular medication, than what can cause them? Simple, lack of following a proper diet, lack of exercise, lack of keeping the central and peripheral nervous system free of irritation, lack of nutritional supplementation, lack of adequate liver, kidney, and bowel cleansing, and lastly, lack of adequate exposure to the sun (vitamin D synthesis). There are a couple of other components like stress and sleep but the above are the core reasons.

Sincerely,
