When I was 19 years old I went into the military. I was pretty healthy going into boot camp, and when I got out of it I was in extremely good shape! My weight was around 170 (I'm 6 feet tall), I could run a mile without breaking a sweat, and I spent a lot of time exercising every day. M BP was great as well.
When I got out of the military at the age of 24, I began gaining weight pretty fast. I was actually medically retired because of a back injury that triggered a disease known as ankylosing spondylitis (AS). That injury, and my laziness, wasn't a good combo. I gained a bunch of weight over the following years, and I just stopped moving around very much.
When I got to the age of 43, I decided to go to the doctor. By this point I was around 80 pounds overweight, I was sweating all of the time, my face was red, and it felt like I could feel my heart beating all of the time. It was scary! In fact, it was scary enough for me to go to the doctor.
The doc confirmed that my blood pressure was through the roof. The first thing he did was to set me up with a bunch of high BP medications. I was actually on a combo of 3 of them. The medication did drop my BP down a good bit, but I had a bunch of side effects from the medicine. It made me feel like crap! Not only that, but I really hate taking any kind of medicine to begin with. I don't even take Tylenol for headaches!
That went on for a year or so. I lost a few pounds (not enough), started moving around a bit (also not enough), and my blood pressure was sort of in control. I still felt like crap all of the time though! My doc tried a few different medicines, but I just felt really bad all of the time.
I finally decided to really lose weight. I exercised a bunch. I went on a vegetarian diet. I eventually got down to pretty much my military weight (within 20 pounds anyways), but I was still stuck on the BP meds. I tried to get off of them, but as soon as I did it shot right back up.
I was in a real predicament! I needed to take the meds because my BP was out of control without them. I knew that heart attacks run in the family line as I have lost quite a few relatives from heart attacks. I was in pretty good shape, but I just couldn't get off of the medicine on my own!
That's when a friend of mine told me about how he cured his high blood pressure naturally, without taking anything. I wouldn't have believed that this was possible, but my friend wasn't a liar!
He turned me onto this new program and sent me to the website to register for it. I figured it was some kind of scam, but like I said my friend is the most honest person I know! I spent just a couple of bucks for the program (way less than I was spending on the blood pressure medicine!), and really took it to heart.
Within two months of starting it, I was able to get rid of the BP med, and I have been off of them for just over two years now!!
I'll explain the program where you can lower your high blood pressure naturally and without medication in another post. My goal on this one was to just to give you some background on where I came from. This is 100% no hype, and you can take it or leave it. I won't make a penny from writing anything on here, so I'm not here to sell you on anything!
To read about the program just click to my next post. If I can figure out how to link to it here, I will do so later.
Feel free to leave me comments with any questions that you have . I'll be happy to answer all of them. Thank you for reading about my story!
