Natural High Blood Pressure Control - Why Drugs Aim To"Control" Instead of "Cure"

Natural high blood pressure control is a safe effective means to not only control blood pressure, but reverse damage done by high blood pressure. The American Heart Association estimates that 75 million Americans have high blood pressure. Of those, only two thirds realize they have it as there are no outward symptoms.

High blood pressure has appropriately been nicknamed the "Silent Killer" as it claims over 50,000 lives a year without any warning and is a contributing factor to 300,000 more. It is a disease that is endemic in the U.S. and costs us billions to treat with drugs, doctor visits, lab costs, surgery, hospital stays and lost production. The sad thing about this disease is it is 95% preventable and reversible but we have yet to adopt a preventative attitude towards it.

What causes high blood pressure or hypertension? If you have secondary hypertension then your condition is caused by one or more organs that dysfunction. That however is only 5% of the HBP population.

There is no known cause for HBP but it is associated with several behaviors.



  • Diets rich in cholesterol, salt, and saturated fats.


  • Sedentary life style.


  • Unmanaged stress.


  • Obesity


  • Ethnicity


With the exception of ethnicity (African Americans are far more likely to have HBP) we can reverse the behaviors naturally without the use of drugs. Diets can be changed. People can exercise. People can get more sleep; and if they do these three things then they will lose weight as well. 

It is well documented that changes in these behaviors will naturally lower blood pressure back to normal levels. It has also been documented that, with the proper food, damage to blood vessels caused by HBP can be repaired.  A natural system can get most people back to normal readings within three weeks if they work at it.

So why don't we pursue a natural control of our blood pressure? 

We have been taught by our doctors and by massive advertising campaigns that the objective for any treatment for any condition is not a "cure" but a "control". As if "controlling" a condition, be it hypertension or diabetes or incontinence, is preferable to curing the condition.

Apparently the pharmaceutical companies are out of the cure business. Of course if a person were to be cured, they would no longer have a need for medication. If you notice, 85% of pharmaceutical ads are for products YOU HAVE TO TAKE FOR LIFE. Why find a way to cure something when you can profit from it for years by "controlling" it.

Natural control of blood pressure is focused on the correct combination of exercise, healthy diet and stress management. You can find this information bit by bit by searching the internet, but make sure you have the entire picture before you jump in. Your heart will thank you.
