Could Hypertension Simply Be "Thick" Blood? by Rita Lambros-Segur, M.H.

about 1 to 5. Man has altered this state by the ingestion

of massive amounts of salt in the diet. We are able

to assimilate about 20 grains (the small salt particles)

a day into our human system. The average American

man ingests about one teaspoon of salt a day. This

comes in processed foods, such as cheese,

processed meats, breads, snacks, etc., as well as

additional salt from the old salt shaker.

Excess sodium can force its way into the spaces

between the tissues constricting capillaries that are

so small only one red blood cell may pass through

them at a time. This phenomena shuts down blood

and nutrient (including oxygen) supplies to various areas

of the body. Unchelated sodium also has the ability

to hold water in the tissues causing edema. Salt

is also very hard on the small tubules in the kidneys

and has an affinity for cholesterol--another substance

which plugs up arterial plumbing.

Dr. John Christopher, N.D. would often recommend

foods high in potassium to help in blood pressure

regulation. Grape juice, potatoes, tomatoes, citrus

fruits and green vegetables are only a few of such foods.

In other words, by combining lifestyle modifications

with whole-food supplements designed to bring the body

into homeostasis, you'll have a winning combination to

balance the body's electrical construction.

Many monitor their hypertension with a sphygmomanometer

and a stethescope. Today, that market produces easier

monitoring devices. In any case, once you are in harmony

with nature's cures and the electrical construct of both

the universe and your body, you will not need external

instruments to measure your health, which I'm sure you'll

agree is a gift.
