Mainstream medical thought points to high blood volume as a cause of high blood pressure, but Ray Peat says it is low blood volume, and I agree with Ray Peat.
Does the mainstream really believe that? From a very basic understanding of the processes, it doesn't make any sense. Low volume means that in order to maintain flow, you need to constrict the pipe size. They should be able to understand that, it's completely mechanical. I'm not even sure how the electrical forces and water structuring stuff would contribute.
Anyway, you might find some enlightenment in this piece I was just reading: https://artcamp.com.mx/EZINES/02HealingVillage/3/eclampsia.htm It's written by Ray and the thesis is the importance of preventing hemoconcentration, concentration of proteins in the blood, and clotting. A lack of flow in the blood leads to a lack of glucose and oxygen perfusion.
Salt, sugar, aspirin, albumin: each of them either improve hypovolemia, blood flow, or stabilize glucose availability (that being the ultimate result). It's mostly about preventing migraines and seizures, but there are of course implications for heart failure.
There's this unusual hyphenation going on in that essay and I cleaned up most of it in the PDF I'm attaching.
