HYPERTENSION
You bet
there is. 1) Switching to a good, near-vegetarian natural diet is a
good place to start; there is no downside to eating right. More fiber, less
sugar and fat, and more fruits, vegetables and grains are all great for the
ticker. So are Dr. Jacobus Rinse’s supplement suggestions, which we
will come to shortly. 2) Supplement your diet
with lots of vitamin C and the
mineral magnesium. Physicians
investigated the effect of 600 mg/day of magnesium and 2 grams/day of vitamin
C on a group of 56 non-insulin-dependent diabetics. The vitamin C improved
control of blood sugar and fasting blood-sugar levels. It also lowered
cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and reduced capillary fragility. The magnesium lowered blood pressure
in the subjects. 3) Your BP will be
significantly higher when you are anxious, and a false reading may result in
unnecessary medication. Take your own
blood pressure at home, or have a friend do it. You may find that
you already have a partial cure for hypertension: avoid high-stress doctors’
office visits! 4) A daily program of stress reduction (such as meditation) has
repeatedly been scientifically proven to effectively reduce high blood
pressure without drugs. (Scroll down towards the bottom of this page
for more on this.) 5) Weight loss almost always helps, too. Let’s consider
cardiovascular health in general:
DR. JACOBUS RINSE'S
BREAKFAST WAS ALSO HIS MEDICINE: Only in his early 50's,
Jacobus Rinse's doctors told him he had but a few years to live.
Cardiovascular disease had ravaged his body. Medicine had little to offer him
but hope, and not much of that. So Dr. Rinse, a chemist, decided to look into
matters for himself. He hit the books and collected an enormous pile of
nutritional research. Some studies suggested that he might be able to delay
death with vitamins and other food supplements He had little to lose, so he
tried it. His payoff? Rinse would live for another third of a
century. For 50 years, the
following pick-me-up for the cardiovascular system has been used harmlessly
and effectively worldwide. Science continues to uncover why it works, while
countless people are satisfied that it works. (Quantities are
approximate:) Lecithin granules, two or
three tablespoons (TBL) Nutritional (or brewer’s)
yeast, one tsp or as much as you can stand Powdered
calcium-magnesium supplement, one TBL (or several tablets) Wheat germ (vacuum packed
or very fresh), two TBL Oil (fresh
mono-unsaturated oil such as olive is ideal); one TBL (personally omit this;
it’s just too early in the morning for me.) Vitamin C powder, 1/2 tsp
or more Vitamin E, more than 400
IU (increase gradually, starting with 100 IU, if you have high blood
pressure. Consult your doctor.) Vitamin B-complex, one
balanced formula tablet And after this you think
you'll be hungry? This food stays with you ‘till lunch and takes only The Rinse formula may not
be as appealing (or should that be "appalling?") as a big bowl of
"Fruit Loops," but it has vastly more to offer a healing heart and
circulatory system. Notes on the Rinse
Formula: * Gradually increase the
quantity of nutritional yeast. It is an acquired taste, and too much too soon
can occasionally cause a skin rash in sensitive persons. No more than a
couple of tablespoons daily would be needed. * Calcium-magnesium
supplements are best taken in the citrate (cheap), gluconate (even cheaper),
or amino acid chelated form. * Smell the wheat germ
and the oil to ensure that it is fresh. If it smells bitter or sour, it is…
and don't use it. * Pure vitamin C powder
(ascorbic acid) is about 2,000 mg per 1/2 tsp. Do not take so much as would
contribute to loose bowels or gas.

"...Transcendental
Meditation (TM)is just as effective as prescription drugs for treating high
blood pressure... A study published in the November issue of the
journal Hypertension found that TM was twice as effective at reducing
blood pressure as progressive muscle relaxation, a common stress reduction
technique practiced in the The American Heart
Association says: "People with high blood pressure may want to medicate
and meditate." (Press release, August 5, 1996) Other News articles on
