Powerful, very well done. Finally, It should be mentioned that high blood pressure, like high cholesterol and diabetes are "made to happen" conditions 95% of the time and hence can be prevented/reversed with no medication whatsoever (no doctor visits, co-pays, parking fees, side effects from medications) naturally. Exercise to the point of being trim, follow the EAT-Lancet dietary choices or see what I recommend on the PMC website, limit alcohol to 4 drinks a week or less, substitute the juice of half a lime plus half a lemon at the table to completely replace the need for salt in the cooking.

Good to hear from you. Even with medicine. only 44% of people with high blood pressure in this country have their blood pressure controlled.
