It so happened that the day after I started the "water cure" I had a doctor's apptm. There, for the first time I was told I had a high blood pressure reading. Gave up the "water cure" & have had normal readings ever since. I think just drinking judicious amounts of water & using Sea Salt does the same thing w/o possible hi blood pressure. Mho.
My doctor says those lab tests are not always diagnostically accurate and believes it is useful to go by symptoms as well, even essential.
