I would recommend it to anyone with a tendency to hypertension." —Charles Keenan Jr., M.D., Associate Professor of Family Practice, UCLA "Hypertension is an important member of the quartet of risk factors for cardiovascular disease--the other three are elevated cholesterol levels, diabetes, and cigarette smoking. Robert Kowalski endeavors to bring all these risk factors under control without resorting to medications. This book presents simple answers to the questions that arise when people take charge of their own health in partnership with their physician." —Calvin Ezrin, M.D., author of Your Fat Can Make You Thin "The Blood Pressure Cure offers a comprehensive, nutritionally sound, and easily accessible guide to lowering one's blood pressure safely and effectively." —Kristen Caron, M.A., M.F.T., author of The Everyday Meal Planner for Type 2 Diabetes "Robert Kowalski is now doing for blood pressure what he did for cholesterol in his previous books--he is revolutionizing the way we think about the non-pharmaceutical treatment of this important risk factor for heart disease.

 Rating:  - Heart healthI found this to be an informative book on how to live with heart disease but unfortunately the author recently died. That fact tends to cause some hesitation in following his precepts. Rating:  - It works!!!Even being a person that exercises 6 days a week, having low fat in my body and eating healthy food I had my blood pressure around 130/70 easily going to 140 if I ate something with too much sodium, like Japanese food. After reading a few books I reduced the salt and increased the potassium. After a few months with this new diet my blood pressure dropped to 120/125. However, it couldn't drop more!

Nevertheless, with that qualifier up front and the predominance of "anecdotal" evidence, author Robert Kowalski offers a common sense approach to lowering your blood pressure. This is a combination of exercise/activity, stress reduction, diet and various diet supplements. He does not come off as dogmatic or as a zealot. One is tempted to say ...

Even if you do not want to go on the 8 week plan this book is filled with information. For people who do not want to use medication as a first line of treatment this book will walk you through all of your options. But it also addresses blood pressure medications and when and why they may be appropriate. ... Read More Rating: - interesting book; not so practical or effectiveI am an MD. This book is very anecdotal. Emphasizes some supplements that only have a bit of evidence backing them, and leaves out others with at least as much evidence. Also, essentially promising that everyone will get at least some effect out of these ideas is wrong. Personally, Ive now tried all of these supplements and the other recommendations. Got expensive quickly and MAYBE have had a few points reduction each in systolic and diastolic pressures when on the arginine, grapeseed ... Read More
