You may want to look into True North Health Clinic in Santa Rosa, CA. I was not overweight and had blood pressure of 180/135...a walking stroke waiting to happen! I then changed to a salt-free vegan diet and saw a decrease of blood pressure in the 140/95 range after several years. A significant improvement compared to where i was but not where i wanted or should be. I would see slow improvements from month to month, year to year but it seems I had reach somewhat of a plateau. I then completed a 10-day medically supervised Water Fast with complete rest (no work, no chores, no exercising - except upright yoga stretching - this was followed by a 5-day refeeding. During the fast my blood pressure went as low as 90/60! It truly jump started my blood pressure in a downward direction again. Even years after the fast, my blood pressure is 120/70. I have considered another water fast. However, I personally would ONLY due medically supervised. I had my blood checked several times, my blood pressure was checked at least 3 times per day, doctor visits several times a day, etc. I developed a few challenges, including fainting, so it was so helpful to have medical staff on-site to assist. Also, an old back injury from a car accident over 20 years that flared up to the extent that the pain prevented me from sleeping, so having a massage therapist and chiropractor on-site was a tremendous help in the healing of this injury as well. I hope this helps. Diana
