I don't think I've used one, and I don't know if it has been discussed.
And, OT kind of;
BP is a big problem in this country for sure. I've tried three different BP meds, and only HCTZ has helped. I had to stop taking the Lisinopril, because within two days my ankles swelled up; I had to stop taking the DiovanHCT after a month because I developed joint and body aches so bad I could hardly pick up a glass of water.
So a year later, I'm on a mild herbal discipline of Feverfew, (a mild vasodilator), Ginkgo, (a mild blood thinner), small doses 3 times a day, and at night I add Valerian. Exercise, (using a rebounder with dumbells), and a cleaner diet. Its dropping, and it is encouraging. The meds are harsh on some folks.
Eventually I hope to be able (as the exercise does its thing) to withdraw from so many herbal doses a day.
I'd love to plant a Ginkgo tree, but they get huge, pretty though, (I may do it anyway) and feverfew grows easily in the yard. As much Hawthorn as grows around here, I should check into when to harvest the berries and what to do with them.
We need to get back to the land, imo.
I am not recommending this as advice. I am not a doctor, but I am looking for alternatives and that requires a large amount of personal responsibility for my own actions.
Have a pleasant day everybody. |
