Re: Dietary, juicing and herbal help for high blood pressure (also some info on low blood pressure)

An interesting thing pointed out by Norman Walker the father of modern juice movement who lived to be 97 and was a raw foodist, vegan was that  if produce is sprayed even heavily sprayed the pesticides, herbicides etc are concentrated in the fibers of the plant and when the fruit or veggie is triturated (smashed) in the juicer the juice is not contaminated as the juice locked inside the fibers is still as organic and repels the chemicals as oil to water so if one's organic food dollars are limited one can save them for produce etc not juiced or if a meat eater for organic dairy and meats as these are far more contaminated than produce. If only a few organic produce items are able to be afforded save it for the dirty dozen of the most heavily sprayed produce.

The things currently gmo are soy (95%), corn (85%) and their derivatives like high fructose corn syrup, beets (95% which is bad as 53% of all sugar in the us is from beets, alfalfa was just approved, Hawaiian papaya, a small amount of zucchini and yellow crookneck squash (13%) cottonseed oil (80%), By 2013 golden rice will be here d some are thinking of genetically modifying wheat which would  be real bad, Gm are also used in making many processed foods, improving clarity of juices and in cheese making. All animals foods but organic are also gmo due to being fed gm corn etc. I also heard some honey can be gotten from bees reared on gm crops. Some potatoes but not sure how much Atlantic, Russett Burbank, Russet Norkatah, and Shepody and chips made from them. Farm raised salmon and aspartame. (tobacco-only from quest cigarettes to produce low to no nicotine cigarettes) Lab= need to say non gmo or organic to be sure. If relatives are meat eaters, they need to be made aware to only use organic and grass fed beef for their safety.

Vitamins - Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is often made from corn, vitamin E is usually made from soy. Vitamins A, B2, B6, and B12 may be derived from GMOs as well as vitamin D and vitamin K may have "carriers" derived from GM corn sources, such as starch, glucose, and maltodextrin.

90% of all food in the modern supermarket contain gmos

here is a list of some of them

Buying locally can reduce these and from coops and farmer's market where one can talk to people in the know there as to what is done to the foods. Join the millions against Monsanto march and be aware that whole foods can no longer guarantee the food sold there is not gmo but their brand is supposed to be and any labeled as non gmo or organic. Eat mainly whole foods to reduce gmos. If buying your own seeds, especially for the ones currently gmo be sure they are not gm or use organic seeds but if your neighbors don't yours could cross-pollinate with them..one could consider growing food indoors and some coops like circle coop will be growing things in greenhouses to avoid this.

In addition to tinctures, herb teas are next best.  Use distilled or steam distilled water as it is empty and thus more of the vital phytochemcials are released into the tea but alcohol in tinctures extracts even more. One could also do a combination of the two by squirting a little organic tincture into an organic tea.

In addition to avoiding gmos, eating a whole food diet and a very high raw diet and the green smoothies and green juices, try this.

The great healers all say the hotter the cayenne the better and one can make their own tinctures using fresh cayenne in varying heat units or purchase. I find herbpharm is not too hot myself compared to some I tried but the hottest there is is from herbdoc.com from Dr Schulze who has been called professor cayenne. He says he uses gas masks to mix it but whoa that scares me but they say as one takes in cayenne, they get more used to taking it

Again preferred is organic but if one wants to get some regular and one could even juice it and tincture the juice.

Here is more on cayenne, its uses and testimonies including Dr Christopher's himself who cured the incurables and taught Dr Schulze who intensified everything. Christopher had high blood pressure

there are some very interesting stores on what cayenne can do here

http://www.herballegacy.com/Cayenne_Herb.html

the 2nd part of this article shows how it affect blood pressure positively

http://www.herballegacy.com/Cayenne_History.html

From the book left for dead by Dick Quinn who decided against another quadruple heart bypass when the first stopped helping, I learned that the combination of cayenne and garlic (raw only minimum three cloves a day) plague on the arteries can be reversed. A vegan diet according to the film forks over knives helps reverse endothelium cell damage

For the capillaries use organic ginger tincture. When the plague is removed the vessels are wider and thus blood pressure goes down.

here is what Master Healer/Herbalist Dr John R christopher says about high blood pressure..he is the reason Dick Quinn learned how to heal his heart and avoid quadruple bypass.

You can see he says to clean the elimination organs (primary one is the bowel..I recommend the intestinal cleanse #1 and #2 by his leading student Dr  Richard Schulze sold at herbdoc.com A comparable version is also sold at healmarketplace.com (Schulze's student) and heathfree.com


The other elimination organs are kidney/bladder, liver/gall bladder. skin, lungs and blood. So cleansing of all these may be of help. The book detox by Linda Rector Page has a lot of ways to detox

but I recommend especially Dr Schulze (products at herbdoc or the site listed above) and here are some of his five days cleanses (scroll down to the blue writing for more on his colon cleansing/kidney/liver etc the detox formula is for blood cleansing

Dr Christopher also mention reducing cholesterol as helping blood pressure.He says this The condition is brought about by improper diet, insufficient rest and exercise and a lack of vitality within the system. He recommends avoiding cholesterol and mucus forming foods which cheese is one of the most mucus forming. Also other animal products. Also sticky grains like many rices and so forth. He also says

"Take herbs that act as a solvent by liquefying impurities such as cayenne, garlic or sassafras. Take cayenne, working up to a teaspoon three times a day. This increases the power of the heart and corrects the circulation problems. Garlic in copious amounts will bring down high blood pressure."

at the link below he also mentions other helps like tomato juice, wheat germ oil, avoiding worry etc

He also speaks of things that help low blood pressure  like garlic. He mentions some herbal formulas and herbs and vitamin k and kelp at the link below. He lists some juices that help both high and low blood sugar

they are as follows (also see other juice suggestions in this post)

Juices for High Blood Pressure: Celery-garlic-parsley, celery, dandelion, grapefruit.

Juices for Low Blood Pressure: Beet, grape, pomegranate
