Re: [ozmidwifery] Naturopathy for Hypertension.

[Mary Doyle]

Dear Kirsten and others, This lovely Christian mum is a nature lover and has never been ill, ever, until now. She homes schools all of her 6 children, aged 5 -13 and they live in a beautiful isolated spot.  She is not overweight, fit and doesn't smoke or drink alcohol. The doctor told her that once she started on antihypertensives, that she would never get off them. Her father has been on them for some years. She is concerned about the long term effects of antihypertensive medication, but seems to have little concept of the effect of long term hypertension.   Thanks to those who offered some information - I will pass it on. Mary Doyle Bright. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kirsten Blacker To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 3:54 PM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Naturopathy for Hypertension. boy that's annoying.

To All, Can anyone enlighten me about whether any naturopathic treatments can help with hypertension? My client, 35yrs, and a wonderful mother of 6 kids sadly had a fetal death in utero at term, for no obvious reason except for her hypertension, which has persisted. She would love to have more babies but not willing to have antihypertensive medication. and wondering about the alternatives. Any references would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks Mary Doyle, Bright
