The cause of hypertension and how to correct it.

The first step in correcting hypertension (high blood pressure) is to understand what causes it. Only then can a person take the appropriate steps to correct the problem.

Water and salt are the two most important nutrients in the body. Among their many responsibilities is to deliver moisture and nutrients to every cell in the body.

Just as food ingredients are listed on the label in order of importance, so too, is water and salt's listing in the physiology of the body. They make up 75% of the tissues, 85% of the brain and 94% of the blood, and they must be maintained at this level to promote good health.

When you don't drink enough water, the body must borrow the water it needs from internal sources. Since the blood is composed of 94% water, this is often one of the places that gets tapped.

When this happens, the arteries constrict due to less volume, and the blood thickens. This causes the heart to have to work harder, resulting in high blood pressure.

Why don't doctors recognize this and treat it accordingly?

Because if you knew how to diagnose and treat yourself, the cost of health and drugs would drop like a rock - and there's no profit in prescribing water.

Dehydration gives many symptoms. The mild ones are passed off as an everyday nuisance - headache (they'll take an aspirin), heartburn (antacid), constipation (laxative), congestion (decongestant). By keeping people in the dark, the drug companies are able to perpetually profit from people that they've convinced need medication, and doctors are able to profit on each subsequent visit.

With the more serious signs of dehydration, a doctor will intervene "on your behalf". High blood pressure (medication, reduce salt, take a diuretic), water retention (diuretic), cancer (chemotherapy, surgery, medication). Each of these conditions require regularly scheduled visits to the doctor and more use of the medical facilities (Cha-ching!).

Reducing salt and taking a diuretic for hypertension is not the proper treatment. As has been explained above, salt is one of the most important nutrients in the body. The problem isn't excess salt, it's not enough water to balance out the salt. This brings us to the use of diuretics. If you're low on water, why would you need to take something that will pull even more water out of you?

You can easily see how ridiculous the idea is, and yet, this is what doctors are telling their patients to do. The only thing it does is strengthen the business relationship with his patients, requiring them to spend more money on perpetual visits.

Almost every health problem that is not injury-related is caused by dehydration. When you allow the body to operate on a below acceptable water level, eventually the cells will begin to malfunction. If left untreated, it may result in tissue damage and disease.

The good news is, if the affected area hasn't been permanently damaged, there's an excellent chance that the condition can be reversed and maybe even cured. The pharmaceutical community doesn't like anyone to use the word "cure". They have almost exclusive rights on the word because, in their opinion, only medication can effect a cure - although they've "cured" absolutely nothing.

There is a right way and a wrong way to restore the water level in the body. Drinking too much too soon may wash out salt and other nutrients that are vital to the body's health, causing more problems.

One final NOTE: If you're currently on medication for any health problem, do NOT discontinue it with out medical supervision. Correcting dehydration using the protocol above will not interfere with medication. It will eventually allow the doctor to reduce or take you off the medication altogether - but this MUST be done by him, not you.
