Editorial Review: Product Description: Proves that the majority of cases of stroke, heart attack, and hypertension could easily be prevented by maintaining the proper ratio of potassium to sodium in the diet. * Updated with scientific evidence from a recent Finnish study showing a 60 percent decline in deaths attributed to strokes and heart attacks. * Provides a comprehensive program for balancing body chemistry at the cellular level. High blood pressure is entirely preventable, without reliance on synthetic drugs. Dr. Moore's approach is simple: by maintaining the proper ratio of potassium to sodium in the diet, blood pressure can be regulated at the cellular level, preventing the development of hypertension and the high incidence of strokes and heart attacks associated with it. Dr. Moore updates this edition with a new preface reporting on the latest scientific research in support of his program. The most striking results come from Finland, where for several decades sodium chloride has been replaced nationwide with a commercial sodium/potassium mixture, resulting in a 60 percent decline nationwide in deaths attributed to strokes and heart attacks. Extrapolated to America, the Finnish statistics would mean 360,000 strokes prevented and 96,000 lives saved every year. Dr. Moore makes it clear that high blood pressure is only one symptom of an entire systemic imbalance. He outlines a safe, effective program that focuses on nutrition, weight loss, and exercise to bring the entire body chemistry into balance. For those currently taking blood pressure medications, he includes a chapter on working with your physician to ensure that any reduction in hypertension drugs can be effected gradually and safely. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A workable solutionI am a kidney donor who became increasingly concerned about my remaining kidney when my blood pressure became elevated and my physician put me on medication. After I read this book, I decided to simply increase my potassium and reduce my sodium to comply with the author's low sodum/high potassium ratio. In real terms, this meant adding orange juice, bananas, potatoes, fruits, fresh vegetables and eliminating canned and processed foods and table salt. I monitored my blood pressure and the change was ... Read More Rating: - A Splendid, Eye-Opening Book!Richard Moore's book, "The High Blood Pressure Solution," is by no means perfect. The text is repetitive at times, for example. And the dietary program he recommends is sound, but sketchy; you'll probably find yourself hunting for additional materials -- low salt cook books, for example -- to round it out. Despite that, I give this book 5 stars because it may just be one of the most important books of its kind ever written, a book that could conceivably save millions of lives if recognized ... Read More Rating:  - Beware of this book's generalities...Moore's assumption is of a "one size fits all". It simply is not true that hypertension is ALWAYS caused by too much sodium (or calcium), and/or too little potassium. As someone who tends to be calcium and sodium deficient, were I to be unaware of this fact and to follow his advice, I'd soon find myself, at the least, having episodes of seizures, and, at worse, not find myself at all, having died in the throes of a stroke. Imbalances do not only go in one direction. In consulting Moore's dietary list, I ... Read More Rating: - HIGH SODIUM=High blood pressure=StrokePotassium+sodium=HEALTH This book did an excellent job teaching me why excessive sodium in the diet and lack of potassium leads to high blood pressure. I knew high sodium consumption was "bad" but I had no idea why until I read this book. I also had no idea the ridiculous amount of sodium we consume daily in a normal American diet when you start counting all sodium from processed foods, drinks, diet foods, fast foods, etc. it is shocking. The author showed how replacing table salt with potassium ... Read More Rating: - ExcellentThis book is amazing. It addresses more than just hypertension. It looks at the way blood pressure links up with diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, and even the selective information (and disinformation) we receive from the corporate and medical establishment about this condition. As someone who works with stroke patients every single day, I can tell you the tragedy is real. Not allowing this simple, common sense message to be more widely disseminated is flat out unethical. This book does disseminate it. ... Read More
