In an earlier thread, I had asked about what would happen if you left your fever as is, and I got many good answers, that fly in the face of conventional medical wisdom. Here it is: What If You Left Your Fever As Is?
Now, I'm asking the same thing about blood pressure. I've searched high and low, far and wide, and it seems I couldn't get an answer that a friend knowledgeable in the subject would give a friend in confidence, meaning all answers toe the line that high blood pressure is bad, and that you need to take medication to lower it. There is the common fear among both conventional and alternative practitioners that left untreated the high blood pressure will result in your kidney being destroyed, or your blood vessels will explode. It's a scary thought and this fear motivates most of us to toe the line.
Well, I gave it a lot of thought and decided that no, I won't take blood pressure medication. I also take solace in knowing there is a chiropractor I know who also has high blood pressure, and he doesn't take medication for it as well. I'm pretty sure that he's not doing nothing about it, but that he doesn't want to lower his blood pressure using drugs just so he can ace his "health certification" with flying colors, and that he knows he has to respect his body when it tells him he needs a high blood pressure to cope with a condition that needs to be resolved. I'm that way myself. It's been more than 10 years I've had this high blood pressure, and try as I might to resolve the condition, I haven't resolved it.
I had urine tests, and I found out I have stage 1 chronic kidney disease, because my urine is releasing some albumin. This was confirmed by a lower blood albumin - it is within range but on the low side of it. Normally, our doctors would not even sound the alarm on this metric. They'll let us wait until we have a kidney condition, manifested by some pain, before they act.
I'm steadfast in my belief that even if I had artificially lowered my blood pressure, it would not have done anything at all to prevent my kidney from deteriorating. I also believe that if my blood pressure were artificially lowered, I would have been in much worse a condition. I believe that my high blood pressure was needed to produce a much higher level of uric acid so that it would protect my kidney from further damage. Uric acid is an antioxidant that primates produce to cope with the inability to produce vitamin C.
My blood pressure has come down since I took oral chelation to rid my kidney of lead toxicity. 3 months of treatment have given me signs of hope. My blood albumin has increased, uric acid levels have decreased, and my blood pressure has decreased. Yet, I still need to continue on with my protocol for a few more months. I think I'm halfway through the healing.
I'm interested in getting more information regarding high blood pressure, and to see if there is an alternatve narrative to the one that says you have to take blood pressure medication to keep you from further harm. I don't like the way high blood pressure is handled by conventional medicine, telling us we have "essential hypertension" and leaving it at that, with no effort to identify the cause of the problem, and therefore no guidance at all in curing the cause of the high blood pressure.
I'm happy to read in Breitbart of their suggestion to Trump to change the narrative in our healthcare approach, which is currently controlled and dictated by evil pharma, to move towards cures rather than palliative solutions, which is the norm. It is a costly approach, and has made us so dependent on a government handout by way of free health insurance. This is a societal cancer that is a stake right at the heart of western democracies, and is spreading to many countries, who see the United States mistakenly as the model. It is spreading and needs to be stopped. I hate to see the Philippines adopt this parasitic model, thinking they have to follow the United States even in everything it does, warts included.
