Reversing Hypertension: A Vital New Program to Prevent, Treat, and Reduce High Blood Pressure
There are items the good Doctor did not mention.
First: Never eat foods or drinks made in a factory. Consider a "drive through window" at a fast food joint "death row" Outside of oatmeal, don't eat anything from a box.
look into Braggs Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Jack LaLanne swears by it.
Follow the books guide line and stick with it. This diet/exercise plan has no experation date. It's a lifestyle. Read it, believe it, live it
Dump all sodas and beer NOW! I bought the book last year: BP 210/120 One year later 126/74. Not bad for a 58 year old guy.
Everyday, take the best possible care of yourself. The rest will take care of itself

Received item promptly in very good condition. Initial examination of the book provided interesting new information about the subject and validated some prior thoughts about hypertension. Am very pleased with the purchase.

This book is a wealth of information whether you chose to follow it or stay within the conventional medical system. At the absolute least this book provides information to allow you to be in charge of your 'own' health care on this important issue. A best it can provide you with a safer and healthier natural alternative to unsafe and ineffective medications. I have bought 4 copies of this books and given it to people I care about.
 Good advice, Bad heart (greedy) April 7, 2005

This book seems be based on research done by other doctors who do not own a supplement company.
I bought this book because I could not get good advice on supplements from my doctor.
The advice is very good, although copied, but the supplement advice points the reader toward the Whitaker Institute, which seem to do more research on how to sell vitamins for more moeny than research on curing heart disease
The supplements sold by Dr. Whitaker's company are much higher priced than the exact same supplements sold by other reputable supplement comapanies like Puritan's Pride, The vitamin Shoppe, Swansons vitamins etc.
I prefer other books on this subject sold by amazon, particulary one written by Dr. Houston, who runs a hospital research institute and does not own a supplement company.
I find it hard to believe the advice on supplements from a man who is charging triple prices for the supplements that he reccomends in his book.

Things your doctor never told you February 26, 2005
18 out of 20 found this review helpful
Your doctor may have never told you that most blood pressure medicine is dangerous, that for some people, reducing salt intake and drinking more water is as effective as diuretics and much safer, and that in most cases hypertension is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. This information, and much more, is backed up by 28 pages of references.
I have followed some of the guidelines for about two weeks and have already seen a decrease in both my systolic and diastolic pressures. I have not yet started eating tofu, and have not given up beef, but am reducing salt intake, choosing complex carbs over simple sugars, and eating fruit rich in potassium, calcum and magnesium. Some of the recommended changes are difficult, some are refreshing.
This book is intended for people who are "proactively involved in their health...and highly motivated to modify their diets and make other lifestyle changes..." It's not for everyone. It calls for changing eating habits and exercising regularly, as well as reducing stress. But even if one does not follow the book's advice to a tee, they can probably benefit from it.
I recommend Reversing Hypertension to anyone who needs to reduce their blood pressure, doesn't want to risk taking medicines that can be more dangerous than hyertension ,and is willing to make the necessary lifestyle changes.
