About Me
Let me tell you about me and how I was able to create this website. My name is Donna and I live in exciting New York city, United States of America.
Over ten years ago I was diagnosed with Stage 2 hypertension. My pressure was in the range of 160/100.
Not good.....
My doctor told me to exercise and change my diet. I did not take it seriously, plus back then I was not aware of all the different illness associated with high blood pressure. Also my doctor told me once you have it, you have to take medications for the rest of your life. Nothing about how you can reverse high blood pressure by gradually changing your diet and exercising. It scared me, but still I did not try hard enough to lower my blood pressure. The thought of eating food without salt was very hard for me. I thought tasteless. Now I know with herbs and seasoning your food can taste even better. Back then that was all I was told.
Medication Side EffectsAfter a couple of attempts to lower my high blood pressure on my own my doctor prescribed diuretics.
My body did not adjust well to the side effects of taking diuretics. Everything about me changed. I was dizzy all the time, my legs and tongue would swell, and I had a persistent cough. I was constantly changing my prescription because of all the different types of side effects.
I did not like how I was feeling, so I started researching about different medications that controls blood pressure their side effects and also other alternative measures.
Nutrition The AlternativeI began to study nutrition and the effect it had on my body's insulin, my blood sugar level, and what my body needs to stay healthy and vibrant.
It took some time and determination. Some of the alternative measures that I tried were supplements, the healing art of acupressure, the electric charge of acupuncture that moves energy throughout your body, and cupping that opens the meridians throughout my body creating balanced energy.
Once you start on the road of taking different types of medications, especially over a couple of years your body organs change and you cannot just stop taking medication, you have to be weaned from the medication and change your whole body from the inside out.
I began a mission to either lower my medications, and get some relief from the ever present side effects or completely stop taking these diuretics. I started reading every book I could find on high blood pressure, changed my diet, took alternative treatments and became more aware of how my body worked. My doctor has since lowered the dosage of my medications.
I felt like I had climbed Mount Everest when my doctor lowered the strength of my medication. It was like I found this secret within my body that could heal itself if only it was supplied with the right ingredients. And, I also realized that even some conditions may be reversed with the proper diet. It was now all about me, concentrating on reversing or eliminating all of my side effects. So I know these changes do work.
Getting The Word Out By Creating A WebsiteBut how do I get the word out. I am not a webmaster.
I once heard someone say anything the mind conceives the possibility exist. Nothing was impossible. So I knew there was a way to share all that I have learned and at the same time learn more about me.
