Testimonials From My Newsletter’s Subscribers

May 10th, 2008 · No Comments

I sent an email a few days ago to my list of subscribers requesting for some feedbacks on my free high blood pressure report: High Blood Pressure, Down You Go! I was pleasantly surprised as many give me good testimonials and thought that my report was a good read and able to educate them on how to lower their blood pressure naturally without medications.

Here are some of the testimonials from REAL people (my subscribers):

“Since I am at the time of life when there is so much health maintenance required, I do appreciate the information you have given me toward doing everything possible to reach my blood pressure health goals…” - Victoria DeLacy

“your report is excellent…” - Mohammad

“Thank you very much for your tips and reports on lowering high blood pressure. Would highly recommend your wonderful and useful site.” - Florence

“I have benefited greatly from your readings. The main thing that I understand now is that I need to take charge of what, how and when I eat. Thanks a million Alvin.” - Netasha

“...nobody can pass a negative comment about your report. To tell you the truth you are doing Great for such reports. Thanks.” - Gilbert

Of course, I can’t please everybody. There was a particular guy who unsubscribed from my mailing list and told me:

“I find the matter is bad enough having this problem, I don’t need someone to keep reminding me all the time. Not only that, telling me how simple it is to delete the problem. If if was all that easy why haven’t my doctor told me. I know he wants to keep selling me medication.”

The aim of my blog, report and newsletter is to educate you on how you can lower your blood pressure in an “alternative” method, that is without using drugs. Well, I am not “reminding” him all the time, I am merely trying to get give him a SOLUTION to his problem.

Reducing blood pressure is not a difficult task at all! All you need is to learn the “correct methods”, such as leading a healthier lifestyle, eating the correct food, some aid from medications initially etc. Of course, you can’t expect your blood pressure to drop drastically overnight. There’s no magic pill. NEVER! Some may take just days, others may take months. It depends on your condition. But you will be less dependent on medications in the long-run.

Your doctor don’t tell you all these methods because he’s trained in medicine and he’s an expert in all these medications! Simple as that. In fact, he also knew his doctor is also trying to sell him medications. Think for a second, have you visited a doctor before and he told you he don’t have to prescribe any medicine for you at all? I hope you understand what I am trying to say. :)

Causes of High Blood Pressure: Know the Facts

May 5th, 2008 · 2 Comments

In order for you to comprehend the causes of high blood pressure, I think it’s just as important for you to know what high blood pressure is.  In the United States alone, one in three adults suffers from high blood pressure.  Also known as Hypertension, the American Heart Association reports that most of these individuals have no idea that they have the disease.  Hypertension is the silent killer as people can go for years undiagnosed.

A person with Hypertension may not experience any type of symptoms. Needless to say, however, the disease is extremely dangerous as it affects many dimensions of the body.  The disease can potentially be life threatening if not treated properly.  Although scientist has developed drug and non medicated treatment, they aren’t especially confident about what causes high blood pressure.

Discover the 10 Rules of Fat Loss

May 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

Losing excess weight will lower blood pressure. This is one we should all know about, but for many, don’t seem to do anything about.

I know I know… losing weight may not be exactly the simplest thing to do on Earth. Gaining weight is super easy, but losing weight is freaking hard. Isn’t it?

Some resort to taking “weight loss” pills. I seriously DON’T recommend them. Many have side effects or are just bogus pills.

Others resort to STARVING themselves. Yes, it may work in the short-run. But it’s NOT healthy for your body and once you stop that, you tend to gain back weight even faster.

But you know what?

Tobacco and High Blood Pressure - What’s Your Risk?

April 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Tobacco will cause an increase in blood pressure. As you should know, smoking is bad for health. So if you are a smoker, you are making a big mistake. If you have high blood pressure AND you smoke, you are “squaring” the mistake even further.

Smoking, by itself, is already a major risk factor for every type of cardiovascular disease (CVD). On the other hand, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack and stroke. So, if you are a smoker and you have high blood pressure, the combined risks for heart attack, stroke and CVD jump up by a huge factor and increases much more than by simply adding the both risks together.

The risk is a multiple of 10. So, by saying the risk is “squared” is an understatement and a conservative figure.

Are You Winning the Blood Pressure Medications’ War?

April 26th, 2008 · No Comments

I just read through a news article and it says that “half succeed at blood pressure medication”

The main reason?

Well, because taking those hypertension medicines can be a complex regime and only half are able to keep up with it. Some patients are not taking their medications because of the costs and side effects. Others said that they are simply taking too many pills to combat their conditions

If you wish to read the original news article, please click here.

How about you? Are you taking any blood pressure medications and are happy with your conditions right now? Most importantly are you winning this “war” ?
