Stop Taking Blood Pressure Medications with your
Doctor's Approval
By: Doug Grant
I have been swallowing three varieties of blood pressure pills for 10 years.
In another month, I expect to be off of them entirely. And that’s with my
doctor’s approval.
Some months ago, I was introduced to a relatively
new medical science called glycobiology.
Very briefly...the science
centers around eight simple sugars. These are not sugars diabetics must
avoid. They are food for our human cells.
Think of these simple
sugars as you would oil in your car. The oil doesn’t make your car run.
However, without it you are headed for a serious breakdown.
Simple
sugars function much the same way in your body as oil does in your car. They
do not provide healing. They do not make your body run. But without them,
you’re headed for a serious breakdown. And that’s spelled D-I-S-E-A-S-E.
HERE IS WHAT THE SCIENCE IS DOING FOR ME After reading about a number of
people who were able to get off the blood pressure medication when simple
sugars were added to their diet, I decided to give it a try. I had been on
the simple sugars for several months so it was time for an experiment.
Without asking my doctor, which is probably a no no, I starting cutting my
pills in half. This wasn’t altogether naughty because I have a BP monitor
and kept close watch on what was happening.
I noticed that over a
period of several weeks my BP readings gradually kept getting lower. In
fact, several times they dipped below normal. I talked to my doctor and
confessed what I had done. I then told him I’d like to wean myself
completely off the drugs.
Fortunately, he already knew about the
science of simple sugars (glyconutritionals) and was willing to experiment
with me. He immediately took me off one of my medications, which was a
dollar a pill variety. That alone was worth a small drop in blood pressure.
He will gradually wean me off my other two medications. So within a month or
two, I should be rid of them. I don’t know about you, but anytime I can
avoid taking drugs without compromising my health, I’m among the first to
get in line.
WHY DO SIMPLE SUGARS WORK?
Without getting into
a lot of technical stuff, the eight simple sugars are absolutely essential
to the communication system of your body cells. When this communication
system is working properly, cells can communicate their need for resources
such as protein, hormones, etc. The result is healthy cells which create
healthy tissue create healthy bodies.
You might ask, "Well how does
that work in lowering Blood Pressure?"
The best answer I can give you
is, "Pretty doggone well, thank you." Other than that, you’ll have to dig
out the science on your own. A good place to start is
http://glycoscience.org. However, be warned that this is a technically
oriented web site.
If you would like to continue monitoring my road
to drug freedom, click the web site link at the bottom of this article. It
will provide more non-technical information about the science and provide
you with updates on my progress.
Also, don’t hesitate to mention the science of glycobiology to your doctor.
He or she may not have heard of it. This isn’t hard to understand when you
consider the science involves a food, not a drug. And even though the
results are often amazing when applied to someone’s diet, the fact that it
is a food passes below the radar of many doctors.
Just remember, you
can take the simple sugars without a prescription. They are non-toxic and do
not interact with any drugs. In other words, they are totally safe.
You may even want to start the simple sugars on your own and give your body
time to recover from years of simple sugar starvation. Then, after a month
or two, ask your doctor if you can lower your dosage with the ultimate goal
of becoming drug-free.
And speaking of monitoring your BP, excuse me a moment while I check my own.
Yup...hanging in there. It registered 115/69. Scouts honor.
I think
I’m ready for another reduction in my medication. Except my doctor is on
vacation.
