My 83 year old mother was able to eliminate all blood pressure medicines due to improved nutrition.
Here are the steps that her physician directed as her blood pressure lowered over time:
1. Reduced Amlodipine 10mg to 5mg, once daily
2. Stopped Coreg 3.125mg, twice daily
3. Reduced Lasix 40mg, twice daily to once daily
4. Reduced Amlodipine 5mg to 2.5mg, once daily
5. Stopped Amlodipine 2.5mg, once daily
6. Stopped Lasix 40mg, once daily


I shared a Johns Hopkins study with her physician (Johns Hopkins med school graduate) that warned of the dangers of medicating her diastolic pressure too low.
Thank you Dr. Fuhrman!!!

im 24 and ive been taking the same med for life past 5 years for hypertension and last week my bp plummeted and i went unconscious, when i reached ER it was 46/60. Apparently it was due to my weight loss which rendered my med too potent for me. Had to do all the tests to see if everything is working fine and it came out perfect for which im lucky and glad.

Also, you can't taper off BP meds safely if you go back and forth with healthy diet and standard diet. We need to be consistent with the Nutritarian lifestyle and check our blood pressure regularly while working with the physician.

I’ve been a nutritarian for 5 years. I lose 186#’s and no longer take BP meds, asthma meds, or depression meds! Dr.Fuhrman is 100% correct! Thanks for your lifestyle excellence and teaching me how to heal me! I love you!

My daughter is on a beta blocker for her heart rate|arythmia, 😊but it is dropping her BP too low. She’s on the lowest dose already. Do you have a suggestion for her?

It is hard to cut 2.5 mg in half no cutting line . Reduce as much slowly is best way so alternate day then once in two day then once in three days til you get to once a week for 3 weeks, I am not doctor

[hazeleyestud]

[scottmottler]

Just stop if your body doesn't need it anymore the doctor will tell you to go off it anyway they tell you to ask your doctor so they can get money from your lnsurance
