A "must-read" for high blood pressure patients on medicine.
You discover your blood pressure's high, and your MD puts you on pills. Now that your pressure is controlled you can relax a little, knowing the one or two pills a day reduce your cardiovascular risk, right? Control Your High Blood Pressure Without Drugs, by Cleaves M. Bennett, M.D. is your wake-up call. Dr. Bennett explains in non-technical language what blood pressure is, why we need it, and what exactly goes awry to drive it up and keep it elevated. After convincing the reader that high blood pressure must be controlled, Dr. Bennett reviews the usual treatment regimen most practitioners employ: lip service to non-drug methods and a prescription for one or more medications. Although Dr. Bennett concedes that drugs may be necessary as a holding measure, he takes a dim view of their long-term value, showing the reader how drugs merely set up a "tug-of-war" in the body between toxic chemicals and reactions to stress within the body which brought about elevated pressure in the first place. Claiming success in weaning hypertensives off their pills, Dr. Bennett argues persuasively for life style changes in diet(low-salt,low fat), exercise, and stress reduction. He educates, motivates, even graduates the reader from the same step-by-step course in blood pressure reduction offered at his clinic. Blood pressure medicine today is available and afforable enough, and with mild enough side effects, that it is difficult to motivate doctors and patients to follow Dr. Bennett's regime closely enough to obtain dramatic results. But it is worth the effort to try lowering blood pressure without drugs. Even if you still require pills to do the job, following Dr. Bennett's guidelines will enable you to get by on less medication, as well as give you the satisfaction that you're taking charge of your destiny. Cleaves Bennett's book is a "must-read" for everyone taking pills to lower blood pressure, especially those with mild to moderate levels.
