High Blood Pressure and Bromelain

I suffer from high blood pressure - am currently on two meds (*which hardly work)
and am working desperately to bring my body to peak health and get off the darned drugs.
I also have been taking bromelain for some years for digestion - it is good for me in that at least one hour after eating my stomach feels light again. However, I read on one of the searches that I did that bromelain should not be taken with "blood thinning drugs" - do they mean high blood pressure medication?
Is bromelain OK for me - I am a vegetarian but occasionally eat tuna, sardines and eggs.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi there,
Naturally I stay away from both drugs themselves and giving advise about them. Obviously I don't have a full understanding of your circumstances, nor a medical degree, so I would not want to venture a guess about weather a drug was okay for you or not.
In my life, I tend to avoid drugs. For the most part, it seems, if we return to a proper Human Diet, health comes more naturally. Perhaps you can provide a glimpse of what a day might normally look like for you:
1) What would you eat in a normal day?
2) What kind of exercise would you do in a normal day?
3) What kind of emotional ups and downs would you do in a normal day?
To your health,
Eric Edmeades

This is a reply to # 711,427Good morning and oh, thank you so much for responding.
I am a vegetarian, however I do have eggs, tuna and sardines - have followed alternative medicine for years - try to live as natural and healthy as I can. No soda, sugars, breads infrequently, etc.
I have been fighting with my blood pressure for a number of years now - I detest taking drugs and I avoid them like the plague but, what could I do - my BP has been as high as 200/110 - the drugs really don't take care of the problem, we know that and, that is one reason I want to get off of them - not to mention the side affects.
Well, I take many supplements once again - magnesium/calcium powder - b6 - dhea - natural bioidenticaal hormones from a compounding pharmacy (I have done many blood tests) - gingko biloba - msm (just started) - just started high doses of vitamin c - chromium picolinate - vitamin e - folic acid - niacin - just started 5htp cream - , etc.
I only have one cup of coffee in the morning - I don't usually have breakfast - I have been having a problem with sleep in that I wake up at 5 am everyday and cannot go back to sleep. So, since I don't finally get up most times till late breakfast is past. I will usually have either oatmeal, kashi, soy sausages on occasion, perhaps a leftover dish from the evening before like rice of veggies, etc.
I take the bromelain because it has always helped me with digestion - after eating it makes my stomach feel lite again after about one hour. I have had really bad constipation problems because of iron deficiency anemia - my hemoglobin has been as low as 7 - so I take iron supplments from Life Extension and these are much milder than the junk in drug stores which is what the stupid doctor had recommended. However, since starting the high dose vitamin c I am seeing a difference in bowel movements. However, now it appears I must go higher on the vitamin c because it is not working like it did initially.
Have had renal MRA for high blood pressure testing and it came back normal - have had my amino acids tested among a thousand other tests (with no insurance might I add) and nothing seems to pop out - my homcyctine is always great.
So - I am trying the best I can to get off these BP drugs - what can I do - My BP always makes me sweat PROFUSELY and get hot - my body temperature most times is so "hot to the touch" where even the doctor remarked at the fact that my body felt so hot. Of course, god forbid he go any further to investigate and determine the cause. Stay away from doctors and you might live longer in this country.
I appreciate any and all advice and guidance. Thank you.

This is a reply to # 711,427Hello again - I forgot to mention that I never eat OUT and ALWAYS prepare my own meals from fresh produce and never use prepacked foods from supermarket - any prepacked foods I use, which are limited, are limited to soy based cold cuts, etc. But now I read that these soy products are a danger to your health. Don't know what to do about this either. I used to eat them quite regularly like a sandwich or franks (made from soy) but have cut down a lot. What do you think?

This is a reply to # 711,429Although, say as a replacement for dairy milk, I will occasionally have soy milk, I try to avoid processed soy foods like fake meats. Also, you mentioned eating these things in sandwiches which I imagine you make from wheat bread? (Instead of, say, sprouted wheat bread).
I would suggest that you try a week of only Paleolithic foods -- foods that we were consuming before the human advancements in agriculture and the resulting introduction of grains, milk etc. This means lean meats and fishes, fresh (mostly raw) veg and, of course, fresh fruit.
To your health,

This is a reply to # 711,434Well, I would like to see more.
I have always wanted to visit Africa. The picture of you on horseback is awesome. I'll bet you were a-wee-bit nervous with that white rhinoceros so close; those amazing animals can run fast too; however, they can’t maneuver very well. Your horse could have gotten out of the way. Still, jusst look at that upright horn- sharp.
It is good to have you back

This is a reply to # 711,439Hi there,
Normally there is a gallery at http://www.EricEdmeades.com with a few of my pics but it appears to be offline at the moment.
Yes, a bit nervous at times. And while a horse can do a relatively good job of 'getting away', it is (a) concerned with thorn trees/shrubs that rhinos run straight through and (b) not concerned with low hanging branches etc.
Much more nerve testing, however, have been my encounters with rhino on foot. I have been charged by rhinos (and other beasts) while on foot a few times and that sure does get the heart going!
Regs,
Eric

This is a reply to # 711,440All of your accomplishments, and all that you do- are incredibly inspiring. In fact,after reading through your website, I exercised for three hours just to feel better about myself. Lol.. In life, I would like to do this and that- only to be slowed down by obstacles. I guess I tend to live vicariously through others.
Yeah, your picture gallery is down- I will check back periodically. BTW... Is that a cheetah that you’re petting, and… is it dead or tranquilized? The animal is being incredibly placid for a wild cat.

Thanks for the kind words -- I do tend to live a sort of 'one life' policy...
LOL... yes, it is a cheetah. It is not wild, it was captive bred at a breeding facility in South Africa. Normally it is not a good idea to get so low to the ground but for the publicity shots I thought it was worth the risk.

This is a reply to # 711,442The answer to your Blood Pressure problem is WATER and its that simple although many just cannot get their heads round it. You should start taking in the proper amounts of water daily, this means if you weigh 100lbs you need 50oz of water a day. You just half your body weight in pounds but into ounces as above. In order to get properly hydrated you need to balance with Salt and this should only be done with REAL salt like Himalayan. The ratio of Real salt is 1/4 tsp (1250mg) per 1 litre of water. This information is trying and tested and comes from the legendary Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj who I now admire greatly for helping me and my mother with our health. I seriously suggest if you want more info you get his book `Your Body's Many Cries For Water' learn the simplest of health treatments other than Fasting. When it comes down to it almost everything is being caused by Subclinical dehydration just like Linus Pauling found with Subclinical Scurvy also. I saw you drunk Coffee which is a big no no indeed and you will need to take twice the amount of coffee in water to rehydrated what the coffee has removed as its a diruetic you see. Please look at Batman's work because its simply amazing and it works. Why have drugs to thin the blood when water does this correctly? You see drugs are useless when you really need to get to the root of the problem. Chronic disease sets in if you dont because what you see as high blood pressure, allergies etc is just a tip off of the body's countermeasures to try and save itself in a crisis. If this crisis continues then well expect serious problems. Address it correctly and quickly as above. You should see a difference fairly soon but by about 4 weeks or so you should see a dramatic difference. Remember you cannot hydrate a desperately dehydrated body in a matter of hours or a few days. Good luck and dont forget the all important Salt! Don't be afraid of real salt its vital for life and if balanced correctly with water it will do the opposite to what the medical cartels want you to believe. You should be able to get off those med's fairly quickly my friend following this advice. Bromelain is a most awesome Enzyme and if anything gets in the way of you taking this like what you said and Thyroxine then you must try to heal the problem or remove yourself from them drugs which you will shortly I hope!
