Blood Pressure

[Surveyor]

My blood pressure has been high after a bout with a really bad cold. What could I use to bring it down. I am off all presciption drugs.

What was it B4 and what is it now? How much Vitamin C do you take now? How long has it been since you started feeling better?

General: Anti histamines will stay in your sytem for up to 7 days after stopping Decongestents about the same both will raise your BP. Certain carriers in anti biotics will also raise Bp. The fact that your body has taken a hit also can take up to a month for it to lower it's defences back to normal. Although you feel better your body still has a lot of house cleaning to do, which means it's a good time to up your V-C intake and help your body get back to normal. I would say 3 to 5 weeks of monitoring B4 you should consider any action on your BP.

Very interesting reply you just received. High blood pressure is a common topic, and here are some old posts that have covered the topic. Note that in addition to vitamin C, think magnesium, vitamin B6, CoQ10 (and vitamin K if the arteries are getting hard) as nutritional remedies for high blood pressure.

Ascorsine-9 is the best remedy for your situation.

Thankyou for your reply!!! I am on Heart tech right now. Should I change to that or just add it to my other.

you can add to your HT if you want or just see how the HT does first since it has the 9 main ingredients.

The A-9 is better tasting and I found that my mother's HBP responded well to it. She just got out of the hospital but when she was there for 12 days, they could not give her a beta blocker for her HBP and irregular heart beat because her pulse was below 60. But the hospitalist/doctor allowed us to give her A-9. We gave her 4 scoops per day and her blood pressure went from 160/80 to 130/80 during that short stay. We also gave her 2 unique E soft gels. Besides the aspirin with anti-acid that the doctor required, no other drugs were given to her.

A co-worker credits her blood pressure normalizing from adding coconut oil to her morning smoothies. Personally, I add about 3 TB of coconut oil to hot oatmeal about 5 days a week. Makes my oatmeal rather creamy.
