Ep:188 THE TRUTH ABOUT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND SALT - by Robert Cywes

For most people, a diagnosis of HYPERTENSION is a lifelong sentence to daily medication and a likely death from the consequences of high blood pressure. Most doctors believe this to be genetic. Most doctors tell their patients to eat less salt and less fat. This video explores such mythical thinking and FALSE ADVICE and gives you a science-based explanation of the truth behind salt, hypertension and what you can do to get your high blood pressure into remission off medication. TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR OWN HEALTH….NOBODY ELSE SHOULD CARE ABOUT YOU MORE THAN THE PERSON IN THE MIRROR - THIS IS A SELF-HELP VIDEO

    My husband regularly measures his blood pressure . Chronically high blood pressure for years , huge carb and junk food addict . Had vertigo for a week and towards the end of it for two consecutive days he fasted , not by choice but because of nausea . On the second day of fasting his blood pressure was normal and vertigo had eased . He thought machine was broken and asked me to redo it a few times . He still doesn’t get it that food contributes to blood pressure because his kidney specialist said “we don’t know what causes it “ hundreds of dollars paid to this corporate schill for pushing drugs that don’t help. And yes he was just told to avoid salt, nothing about sugar or diet

I do agree that we need more of us in health care to recommend these changes but again most patients are simply not going to do that. They want a pill because the alternative is too much work for them. That's just reality.

    After a recent surgery, I was put on a drip. I was supposed to be in recovery for only one night, but they wouldn't release me because my blood pressure was extremely high. On the fourth day, I asked what was in the drip and they said, "Lactic acid." When I asked to be changed to a drip of only sodium, my blood pressure immediately went down and I was able to be released. I'm still mad about that. Please, when you are put on a drip in the hospital, make sure it is NOT any kind of sugar. You can ask for a sodium drip.

My last medication was Metformin for Diabetes. During a review with my Doc of my fasting blood labs, he said "You don't need Metformin anymore. That's for Diabetics." He was very impressed with my numbers given my history. To my surprise tho, he really didn't seem interested in hearing about my Carnivore diet. And it's too bad cause I'd love to be able to help other people who are fat, unhealthy, depressed, and lost as I was.

    Yeah, it pisses me off because I am 68 and I've had high bp since I was 45 and all I've ever heard, is to cut down on salt. Being from the south, I drink a lot of sweet ice tea, so I'm pretty sure if I quit or cut back on that, my bp would probably normalize or at least be lower.

    I have been a sugar addict for all of my 62 years and had high blood pressure for most of my adult life. I have been trying to go carnivore for a few weeks but haven't been able to stop my sugar addiction (ice cream, sweets, etc.) so my bp has been out of control. I have never heard such a great explanation of why sugar is the culprit and not salt. I now have renewed reason to get rid of the sugar completely. I truly appreciate your knowledge and the way you present it. Thank you!

Now, however, I have been carnivore w salt for a couple of weeks and "healthy keto" with salt for about 5 months before that, but I have yet to see any improvement in my BP. Sigh... Do you remember how long it took you to see results, or if there was anything else you did that you thought contributed to your success? Any suggestions will be very much appreciated!

I am pre-diabetic and have been able to keep my A1C around 6 or below for the last couple of physicals. I had been a diabetic for twenty years. I just went on a low-sodium diet as a result of the blood pressure issue. The doctor increased my metoprolol from 50gr to 75gr which I have not started yet. This was enlightening and I now know my emphasis needs to be to lower my sugar levels even more and focus less on sodium reduction. Thanks.

    Great video. My resting heart rate went from in the 90's to 61 in one day after taking salt. What I learnt. I have started taken responsibility of health. Started keto, but have adopted a healthy keto diet (vegetable, and leafy greens as well) and started exercising ( know up to100 miles per week). I was starting to get concerned because my resting heart rate was going up the more weight I lost and the fitter I got. After increasing my salt intake my pulse is normal and I feel great. The lesson I learnt was moving away from a high carb, low fat, low sodium diet to a keto lift style with lots of exercise your salt intake must be adjusted to your new healthier life style.
