Masked Hytension - People who have high blood

pressure when their doctor is not around.

SAD

The Standard American Diet

1. Dehydration causes the majority of Essential

Hypertension, a condition in which dehydration

from lack of water(or a constant American diet

loaded with sodas) causes a loss in blood

volume.  The body senses this and tightens

blood vessels so that adequate blood and

oxygen is supplied to the cells.

2. High blood fats and triglycerides from SAD

thicken the blood and cause a condition known

as sludged blood. Moving this blood through the

vessels is more difficult, so the heart must beat

harder, with an increase in blood pressure.

3. Adequate, real, whole phytonutrient vitamin C

complex is needed to carry oxygen in the blood

through the vessels to the cells.  Deficiencies of

this complex are induced by the SAD(most

Americans suffer from subclinical scurvy) and

made worse by the ingeston  of tons of ascorbic

acid(a tiny fraction of the whole phytonutrient

vitamin C complex). This results in decreased

oxygen to the cells. The heart's response to this

is to speed up its beating and possibly increase

blood pressure in order to get more oxygen-poor

blood to your cells to meet demands.

4. High levels of insulin from the SAD, lack of

exercise, and a deficiency in the glucose

tolerance factor(B vitamins and minerals)

irritates the blood vessel linings.  This can

result in cholesterol, plaque and coronary

heart disease.

5. Factors like the bioflavonoids found in the

vitamin C complex are needed to maintain the

integrity of the blood vessel linings.  These can

be damaged by high insulin levels, viral or

bacterial infections, and high blood sugars and

fats from the SAD. That is the reason that blood

vessel disease(expecially coronary artery disease),

plaque, and the resultant high blood pressure

is epidemic.

ALL HEART AND BLOOD PRESSURE DRUGS

EVENTUALLY RESULT IN EXAUSTION.

When you consider the insidious dangers of

"masked hypertension," you just have to

scratch your head.

DIABETES

Traditional therapies have their drawbacks.

You can eat the standard medical low-fat

diet(which no one can ever stay on).  And  you

can take the usual drugs of chloresterol-lowering

statins, blood thinners, diabetes drugs and heart

and blood pressure drugs as your condition

worsens.  These will often artificially produce

partially better numbers on blood tests, but

completely fail to address the UNDERLYING

CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM which foments and

torments in your body, even as you are taking

the medicine.  The end result of this theapy

is heart disease, obesity, full blown diabetes

and stroke.  The alternative is effective, safe

and relatively painless.  It is an Adkin's style

low-carbohydrate diet, plenty of resistance

exercise(weight lifting), elimination of all

processed foods, and weaning off of medi-

cations as you improve.  You will probably need

to treat your liver and you will need two Liver

Flushes to clean up your liver/gallbladder

system.  You will need to take the proper

supplements to offset the nutritional deficiences

and rebuild your system.  Diaplex(2/meal),

Min-Tran(2/meal), Cataplex GTF(2/meal), and

a tablespoon of raw flax oil daily.

Just where are the real causes of these problems

coming from?  They come mostly from processed

foods.  Megatons of breakfast cereals and breads

are a main culprit and should be completely

elimanated from the diet.  Pasta, crackers, chips,

etc., are next to go.  Sweets must be eliminated.

Candy and sodas are the most concentrateed

forms of sugar and should never be consumed.

Wine is liquid sugar, beer the same.

FREQUENTLY MISSING FACTOR

******************************

Amazingly, science has now proven that daily

negative or destructive thoughts chemically

change the actual protein receptor sites and

they will no longer function to accept nutrition!

That is profound indeed--because it means

that even if you are taking in the best nutrition,

it may do you no good.  If your mind is full of

negative and destructive thoughts, it will

chemically alter your protein receptors to no

longer accept the rebuilding nutrients.
