High Blood Pressure

"It is the duty of every person to become intelligent in regard to disease and its causes." {HL 19.5}

"…Have a practical knowledge of the causes of disease, and should understand how to give simple treatments, that he may relieve the suffering ones." {ChS 134.2}

"It is essential both to understand the principles involved in the treatment of the sick and to have a practical training that will enable one rightly to use this knowledge." {MH 127.2}

"As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our nation, those who would stand for freedom of conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions. For their own sake, they should, while they have opportunity, become intelligent in regard to disease, its causes, prevention, and cure." {CH 506.1}

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF DISEASE?

"Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health." {MH 127.1}

BIBLE

3 John 2 - "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and BE IN HEALTH, even as thy soul prospereth.

Jeremiah 30:17 - "For I WILL RESTORE HEALTH UNTO THEE, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD..."

Psalms 103:3 - "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; WHO HEALETH ALL THY DISEASES;"

Genesis 18:14 - "Is anything too hard for the Lord...?"

God wants to heal all our diseases including High Blood Pressure. Contrary to this, doctors will tell you that this disease is incurable. The Bible, Spirit of Prophecy and good Scientific Material will give you the most advanced teaching, in terms of healing, health and restoration.

WHAT IS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

High blood pressure (Hypertension) is defined as high pressure (tension) in the arteries, which are the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Blood pressure readings are given as two numbers. The systolic blood pressure (the top number) equals the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts. The diastolic pressure (the bottom number) is the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes.

SOME FACTS ABOUT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

It is said that 33% of those having Hypertension, more people die from blood vessel diseases than all other causes of death combined. Every year about 735,000 Americans have a heart attack. 1 out of every 2 women dies out of heart attacks or stroke. 2% of heart attacks have nothing to do with lipids/cholesterol. It can cause the heart to go into Fibrillation. 70% of those on dialysis is due to the medication they take for increased blood pressure levels. Center for Disease Control (CDC) says the following regarding Diabetes statistics: About 1 out of 3 U.S. adults—or about 76.4 million people—have high blood pressure. Only about half (52%) of these people have their high blood pressure under control. High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" because it often has no warning signs or symptoms.

NORMAL RANGES

Blood Pressure Levels Should Be:

An Ideal Pressure = <120/80 but not less than 95/55

121/81 to 129/84 = Pre-Hypertensive

However, this is related to age, sex and time as well as the prevailing climatic condition.

COMPLICATIONS OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

Heart disease

Kidney (renal) disease

Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis) and Eye damage

Stroke (brain damage) and Heart attack

MAJOR WARNING SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF HEART ATTACK

Chest pain or discomfort; pain radiating in left or right arm, or jaw Pain or discomfort in the upper body, arms, neck, jaw or upper stomach, Breathlessness, Nausea, Lightheadedness and Cold sweats.

If having a heart attack put a pinch of cayenne under tongue or 1 t. in water and drink immediately.

NOTE: There was a particular guy on the program who started getting headaches 3 weeks into the program.

If you are on antihypertensives and you get up abruptly and get dizzy, it is time for the medication to be decreased or discontinued.

Keep a detailed record and go to your physician so he can decrease your medication as needed. You have to be careful in some things you accept, because in some things some Doctors coax you to accept may cause you to deny your Saviour. Many Doctors say "You Cannot Be Cured" They will tell you that "you will be on this medication the rest of your life" when Jesus says He can HEAL ALL DISEASES... IS ANYTHING TO HARD FOR THE LORD? (Genesis 18:14).

If you make the Devil more powerful than God, you deny God.

Make sure you DON'T LIMIT GOD (Have Faith that that which has been given to us regarding health regarding getting to the root of disease will work).

WHAT CAUSES HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE (HTN)/HEART DISEASE?

Increased Cholesterol Levels (Cholesterol found in flesh foods and animal products). <150 is the best for optimal health. Pork and cheese have something in them called TYRAMINE. Tyramine produces high blood pressure in just a matter of time.

High Salt Intake Causes HTN - We all need some salt (Mark 9:50) Make sure that it is a salt that has 80+ minerals, including iodine. Iodine is essential for proper THYROID Function.

*Salt is ESSENTIAL TO GOOD BLOOD MAKING not more than 2,500 mg a day needed IF YOU HAVE A LOW POTASSIUM DIET: Sodium (Na) is found mainly in the blood / outside the cell. POTASSIUM however is an intracellular (in the cell) element. If you are eating a LOW POTASSIUM diet, your SODIUM is going to go into the cell to replace the POTASSIUM that is not there.

This will make changes in your fluid balances. Fluid in your body generally follows sodium. As the SODIUM (Na) goes, the fluid goes. Too much fluid in the body means we need to get some SODIUM out of the body.

SODIUM & POTASSIUM have the same charges. When these two move around in the body, BLOOD PRESSURE CAN INCREASE. It is essential to have adequate amount of POTASSIUM in our diet. A decent POTASSIUM LEVEL will help lower the risk of having Hypertension.

POTASSIUM RICH FOODS - The number one SOURCE OF POTASSIUM is BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES. It has 2492 mg per 100 edible grams. IT IS THE 2ND LEADING SOURCE OF CALCIUM. VERY HIGH IN IRON. BANANA (396 mg. per 100 gm) AVOCADO number 1 LEADING FRUIT FOR VITAMIN E... Vitamin E is very important for the heart. It has 599 MG OF POTASSIUM. ALMONDS HAVE 732 mg (Considered the highest in POTASSIUM OF ALL NUTS) TOFU/SOYBEANS have 1797 mg APRICOTS = 482 mg

Q: WHAT ELSE CAUSES HYPERTENSION?

Lack of exercise and High Fat Diet cause hardening of the arteries. Frying food puts a lot of fat in the diet. Animal Products are the number one source of unhealthy fat. Cheese is the highest form of fat. Smoking causes plaque buildup.

Alcohol - Eating and drinking at the same time, as well as combining milk and sugar produces as much as two 16.9 oz. bottles of alcohol per day of intestinal fermentation.

That Rice and Beans contain all of what are classified as the ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS. That is why we are taught that so many developing nations that eat Rice and Beans do not have all these diseases.

L-Arginine helps relax the smooth muscles in the blood vessels, thereby, lowering the BP (Blood Pressure). That comes from a MASTER PLAN...It doesn't just happen by chance.

Q: BY THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE MEDICAL SIDE OF THAT IS?

Instead of nitric oxide that is found in the beans, what do hospitals give? A: Nitroglycerin - That's the scientific form of the Nitric Oxide. God's Natural Form = Rice and Beans (not polished rice)

THE NUMBER 1 SOURCE OF L-ARGININE =PUMPKIN SEEDS which are the NUMBER 2 SOURCE OF MAGNESIUM. They have 535 mg of magnesium.

*PUMPKIN SEEDS PARALYZE WORMS AND CAUSE THEM TO RELEASE THE HOOK AND COME BEHIND WITH SOME FLAX SEED OR SENNA behind that and the worm goes right out. Eating pumpkin seeds with pineapple is really a great benefit.

*FISH CONTAIN PARASITES THE WORMS OF FISH GROW UP TO 40 FT. LONG.

Princess Diana's driver was not a drunker, but when they did an autopsy on his body and checked his blood, he was legally intoxicated. Not an ounce of alcohol passed his lips. He had eaten food that consisted of a combination of milk and sugar and this fermented in his stomach causing the intoxication.

Q: WHAT ELSE CAUSES HYPERTENSION?

Lack of Nitric Oxide in the arteries. Beans have something in them called L-Arginine (an amino acid) which produces Nitric Oxide. When Nitric Oxide is present, the artery relaxes and the BP comes down.

Beans and Rice together with following the laws of health can help with chest pains.

PUMPKIN SEEDS = ANTIPARASYTIC, that gets rid of worms. It also benefits the Prostate in Males; it has a lot of medicinal purposes.

*It is not uncommon for people who eat fish to become deficient in Vitamin B-12 because the fish worms feed on B-12.

Q: WHAT ELSE CAUSES HYPERTENSION?

A: Green/Black/Chai/Lipton Tea/White Tea/Red Tea

THESE SHOULD NEVER BE USED (CD pg. 420.2) All these teas contain 400 poisons/chemicals. The word tea is scientific & stands for a word called (Tea-(tee-uh) Synensis). The name of TEA is the name of Green Tea, Black Tea, White Tea, Lipton Tea, Red Tea. (Xerox is a Brand, but it is not copying, but we associate Xeroxing as being copying - Kleenex = a brand name, but it's not the tissue (The World TEA IS A BRAND)

NOTE: Tea is stimulating and poisonous.

If you have Decaf Green Tea, you have green Tea without the stimulating effects, but you still have the poisons. These teas contain over 400 chemicals in them.

*Tea destroys Vitamin B-1, which is responsible for the Nervous System TEA DESTROYS Vitamin B-1

B-1 DEFICIENCY leads to DEPRESSION, GLAUCOMA, AND MANY OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS

*These teas (Black, White, Red, Chai, Green) HAVE PHYNELIC TANNINS THAT STOP THE ABSORPTION OF IRON. IT CAUSES ANEMIA. (Counsels on Diets and Foods)

*A DEFICIENCY OF VITAMIN B-1 WILL CAUSE HAIR AND NAILS TO FALL OUT.

*MEDICINES DON'T CURE THE PROBLEM; THEY ARE JUST A BAND-AID TO MASK THE SYMPTOMS WHICH LEAD TO OTHER PROBLEMS. HOW DOES IT DESTROY THIS VITAMIN?

A: THE ENEMIES PLAN IS TO GET CONTROL OF OUR MIND.

What is B-1's importance? B-1 is essential to prevent Parkinson's Disease.

Is PARKINSON'S PREVALENT TODAY?

Just about every one over the age of 75 has Parkinson’s.

*VITAMIN B-1 ALSO HELPS PREVENT NEURALGIA (That’s where your nerves don't work well). You either have pins & needles or you can't feel things. Things just aren't working well, especially the nerves in your periphery, your hands & your feet.

WHAT ELSE CAUSES HYPERTENSION?

OBESITY WHY? For every extra pound of weight, they estimate an additional mile that the blood has to travel through. There's about an extra mile of blood vessels for every one additional pound.

If you have to push that blood through that many extra miles, you're going to need higher pressure source to get it all the way through the circuits and background.

*For every 1 lb. that you are overweight, it takes 1 month off of your life. So 60 lbs. overweight would be 5 years off of your life.

*In your GENE, it has your height and your weight, and when you properly follow the Laws of Health, the weight will drop off to your proper size. If you are underweight, the weight will add on to your proper size. And if you're going to bed at the proper time, your body automatically calculates itself based on what's written in your GENE (Your Genetic Code), for your height, if you are too big, in a gradual manner, now that everything is working the way it should, you're going to drop off the extra lbs. And once you get to where you are supposed to be, based on your GENE, it stops.

The perverted world we live in teaches that as we age, we should get bigger and bigger and bigger, but that's not what God intended for us. God intended for us to live a healthy life, to be able to serve Him all our life. To gracefully age like Moses did (Deuteronomy 34:7) and then go lay down in our graves and wait for His second return. That's what God intended for us. Not to come down with all these diseases; not to be riddled with the DISEASES OF EGYPT (Heart Disease was one of the diseases of the Egyptian Mummies from the days of Moses). HE INTENDED FOR US TO LIVE A LIFE TO SERVE HIM. (see CD 118.1)

When you measure a person's wrist, you can find out what build their body is. <6 Inches = Small Frame 6-7 Inches = Medium Frame 7 Inches = Large Frame

WHAT TO DO FOR IMMEDIATE RESULTS:

A. Dangerously High Blood Pressure:

1. 2 Garlic cloves chopped with (2) 16 oz. bottles of water (if they don’t have kidney problems)

OR

2. One clove of garlic inserted in the rectum with oil on it.

3. Drink Beet Juice...16 oz. within 30 minutes.

If the beet juice is causing headache, drink within 45 minutes A Hot Foot Bath (20-30 minutes).

Be sure to have a cold rag around the nape of the neck and the forehead.

For Serious Blood Pressure That Won’t Go Down

Go on an Apple Fast for 3 days/ 3xday. Eat different apples for each meal. If the BP is still not normalized after 3 days, go on a fast for 3 days, taking in only water and herbs. Rapid Pulse: Ice rags around wrists and ankles.
