Picture this - You Lowering Your Blood Pressure By Practicing
Holistic Medicine on Yourself

Sure! By practicing on yourself, you are taking care of your blood pressure as well as the rest of you.

The best way is to have a place to go where you can get information on what to do. Normal Blood Pressure Diet is such a place. Here you learn how to get started, what diets and foods to try, what supplements or herbs or formulations to take, what exercises to do and what devices to try, how to make your plan and much more information.

Let's say that the police arrive at my door and arrest me for practicing medicine without a license. I enter my plea - guilty as charged. Open and shut case.

At my sentencing, the judge puts me on community service in lieu of jail time with the charge to help other people optimize their health by treating the whole person through alignment of their interdependent body systems.

I smile because that is the definition of holistic medicine.

I have established this web site to carry out my sentence. Well, that's fiction, but the web site normal-blood-pressure-diet.com is real, and you're on it.

"Let food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be food." Hippocrates

The father of medicine himself gave us license to practice it.

On this site your are learning to be a holistic medical practitioner to yourself, and, you need no certificate from any medical association or government to do so.

You may need some home remedies though. Take a look at Natural Home Remedy, Holistic Remedies, One Minute Cure and Stop Aging Now on the shopping page.

If you and I want to lower blood pressure naturally and have normal blood pressure, we need no more encouragement than what Hippocrates said.

Who should your other doctor be?

Taking responsibility for your own health and ideal blood pressure does not mean a total reliance on home remedies.

Realize that we need doctors as well.

I'm in a HMO, so my selection of doctors is narrow. That's why I chose a Doctor of Osteopathy who was in my plan. I had heard from somewhere that, usually, DO's were more amenable to holistic medicine than were MD's.

However, some DOs and MDs practice a combination of allopathic (medical school teaching) and holistic treatments. This is called complementary medicine.

Other medical disciplines are majorly holistic. Here's some of them:

Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, chiropractic, nutritional therapy, homeopathic medicine, herbal medicine, physical therapy, massage, and naturopathic medicine.

Not all of these disciplines may be in your area, but you can check around. Do not assume that a particular medical practitioner knows anything about holistic treatments.

It is not taught broadly in traditional medical schools. An MD I know had to teach himself, just like I had to teach myself.

Your primary care physician is you!

I feel I am the main one responsible for my overall health and normal blood pressure.

I prescribe myself home remedies to lower blood pressure naturally.

Even if I were to go to a doctor to receive acupuncture for high blood pressure, I'd still the one who called the shots.

I am a practitioner of holistic medicine to myself.

I'm sorry that I can't be one to you. Are you willing and ready to take on that roll for yourself?

If so, start with diets, then move on to the other areas.

It feels good to take charge and be the boss.
