Book Reviews of The Blood Pressure Cure: 8 Weeks to Lower Blood Pressure without Prescription Drugs
Book Review: Worked for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I posted in one of the discussions, but it may help someone to see my results in the book reviews, so here it is:
I was skeptical too; but for me it really did work. I haven't been able to cut my prescription out entirely (Benicar 20mg+12.5 HCT), but I take only 1/4 of a pill a day along with the arginine, grapeseed extract, pycnogenol, and lyc-o-mato in the dosage he recommends. My BP is a very healthy 105/69, and that is lower than with Benicar alone at full dose. If I cut out the Benicar entirely, it starts to creep back up; but I think if I lose 15 pounds, it will likely stay down. My incentive was to get rid of the Benicar because of all the side effects. I felt absolutely terrible on it. It was the third med I tried; I had issues will all of them. Yes, it costs more (my insurance paid for the Benicar with a $10 deductible); but these BP prescription meds are powerful and they do have side effects. Some over time; others show up more quickly. If you can get rid of that, isn't it worth it? For me it is. BTW, my pre-med BP was 184/125 -- yikes! So we're talking about a serious BP problem. That was this past November. Tried 3 different meds. Been on the Benicar for 4 months, and I hated it. Started this regimen 5/25. Works better than the Benicar was working alone, and I feel great. I say at least try it and see if it can work for you. Even if you can lower your dosage, it may be worth it for you. It works quickly, so you only need buy the supplements once to find out if it is making a difference. It will likely take more than a month to fine tune things (figure out which ones are really helping and which aren't making much difference), but you will probably know in that time if it is making a difference at all. For me I noticed a difference in just a couple of days. I cut my Benicar dose in half and monitored closely, and it stayed down, then went lower, then I cut that half in half and it stayed down. Recently I doubled the algernine and it is the lowest it has been. Most of these supplements come in sizes that will last two or three months, so a while before you have to buy again even with experimenting. Good luck!
Update: I found that doubling the L-Algernine and taking only that with 1/4 of my Benicar prescription gives me a very good BP rate of about 110/70. If I take the other supplements, it goes even lower, about 95/60. This is more along my normal BP when I was thin and younger (up to about age 35). But for now, I'm happy with 110/70. The L-Algernine at twice his recommendation along with 1/4 of my prescription works very well. I'm hoping to cut out the script altogether by losing weight. I'll have to see if I need to use some of the other supplements along with L-Algernine when I stop taking the Benicar.
