Wayne. . . . I have read something about high blood pressure
readings. The docs lowered the *normal* numbers and
as a result, the medicos are selling more HBP meds.
Have you heard about this ?

Not sure the DOC's did it. The AMA, the Drug companies, and the Medical Profession wanted
everyone to be sick or have some ailment.

  Yes, been hearing about it for some time.

More on your question later, but first I need to beat around the bush and state some ideas and
opinions.

First, ....... High, Low, and Normal are bordering on Fuzzy Logic and cannot be defined.
( by ordinary means and methods )

Blood pressure is a symptom and NOT A Disease.  It never has been.
It is addressed and treated which is often a very bad thing.

The blood pressure often goes up for a very good reason and can save ones life.

If a bear is chasing you, it better go up, ...... and as high as possible. Also your emergency energy system needs to kick in, if it is possible for this to happen.

Over the years, my blood pressure would go up when I needed to eat.
Supplying energy to the brain is near Number ONE priority, the heart is second.
Whether the brain or heart gets priority is a complex subject. The heart may be first.

If the brain runs our of energy, you can pass out, hit a bridge, a tree, a telephone pole or another vehicle. Thus and therefore, the blood pressure going up, is often a life saving maneuver.
( or if the electrolytes are way our of balance, or non existent )

The body is very intelligent, Often I refer to "The body control system" simply because I think, "Control Systems". It is also intercellular communications, call it what you wish.

I fully realize that some conditions in the body can keep the blood pressure above normal, virtually all the time. Addressing the true ailment and cause would be much better than simply lowering the blood pressure.

Vitamins, Minerals, Electrolytes, and energy levels all play an important part.
And of course, a diabetic has a multitude of problems that I will not address.

If the blood glucose is too high, the brain will not use it, so one will feel lightheaded just like they do if the glucose is low.

Again, many of my ideas are from observation, not from some bogus lies I read.
Remember, I am a human being also. My blood pressure has been high, and it has been low.

I never get a headache from blood pressure. Remember Salt is very important, as are all
electrolytes.

It can be made go up and can be made go down by nutrients and food.
Often in the morning, my reading will be 117 over 72 with a heart rate in the 50's.

I rather it be 130 to 135 over 80 to 85.  Even 90 is ok and 140 is ok.

Due to ones physical condition, circulatory condition and maybe serious ailments, the blood pressure must be a bit higher for them to feel good and function.

Too High and Too Low must be determined by the individual, NO stupid doctor knows what is best for you or for me. I know what is right for me, and can usually put it exactly there.

I am positive that it is a Bald Faced Lie that high blood pressure causes stroke.

No fool engineer would design a piping system that could not stand more pressure than the pump can provide.

The blood vessels are 10 times as strong as any pressure the heart can deliver.
That is, good blood vessels, not bad or damaged one. "Healthy people, not sick people"

Weak blood vessels causes strokes. The genius body control system does not consider the weakness of your blood vessels when it make the decision to increase the blood pressure.

Energy for the heart is of utmost importance, just like for the brain.
The heart muscle uses energy at two times the rate of any other cells.

If the energy is low, very low, for an extended time, one can have a heart attack and even have permanent damage to the heart, and they can DIE, just because of a lack of energy. Inadequate electrolytes caused many heart abnormalities. Get them right and keep them right.

The brain and the heart are much alike in energy requirements. It must be there or the person is at risk for many things, accidents, and you name it.

I have great sympathy for Diabetics. Most fight a constant battle, 24 hours per day, even when sleeping.

Most of what I say does not apply to them. They are in a world of their own, and must do their own study to arrive at what is best.

One great writer, Karl Loren states. The diet recommended by the American Diabetes Association causes Diabetes. Also he says the same thing about the American Heart Association.


Here is a block relative to the standards.

================  Read it and Weep

Hypertension has been variously defined as a systolic pressure higher than: 100 + your age, then 100 + half your age (systolic), then a fixed figure: 160/100, then 140/90, and currently 120/90, numbers that have been steadily deceasing over the years. This has had the effect of turning more and more healthy people into patients: now, practically everybody is classified as a patient although the vast majority have no obvious medical symptoms to show for it. But it does help to sell drugs! (Sorry if I sound cynical, but a recent paper suggested that people with perfectly normal blood pressure readings were 'pre-hypertensive' thus making them into potential patients as well.)
Above from Barry Groves web site.
=============================

I must have left out a few things and ideas. If you have a question, post it.
Someone will answer it.
