What Is High Blood Pressure–How To Lower It

LOWER HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WITHOUT MEDICINE and ESCAPE HEART DISEASE!–

Personal Testimony

UNEXPECTED TRAGEDIES!

My Mom died last year with heart issues.  My Dad died young in his 50ties with heart conditions. High blood pressure played a great role in both cases.  Heart disease is still the #1 killer in America today, with many wonderful loving Christians like my mom and dad dying due to the lack of specific critical knowledge which they unintentionally fail to seek.

I was so confident in my belief in God, that I considered it quite difficult for me to be hospitalized, but I was wrong!  I thought I was eating enough healthy foods to compensate for the amount of junk food I ate, but I was wrong.  I thought if I kept active with a positive attitude, I could control and dismiss any sickness that came upon my life, but I was wrong!

High Blood Pressure Sneak Attack

While driving my wife to work one night, as we drove along the highway, my head started to go dizzy and chill-like… It felt as if I was blacking out.  It was crazy!  I couldn’t shake it off.  I had to pull the car over and allow my wife to drive. It took all the faith and energy I could muster to keep myself from blacking out; it was an unbelievable experience.

Thank the Lord Jesus Christ my wife worked in the Emergency Center.  When we arrived, she told me to sit and relax in the car while she went to clock in, afterwards, she would return and take me to see a doctor.  But as she tarried in the hospital, it became increasingly difficult to stay seated in the car due to my nervousness about passing out; I had heard and known of other Preachers and Bishops passing out and going into comas. Was it now my time to leave this world?  I feared for my life as I stepped out of the car to stretch myself, struggling to keep from blacking out.  It was the most challenging feeling I have ever had.  Thank God my wife was fast at getting someone to see me. They immediately took my blood pressure.  It was 198/103.  How long I had been living with that high blood pressure, I have no idea.

They proceeded to give me medication which gave me severe headaches. But I took it in hopes that it would help my crazy situation. They told me I would have to stay in the hospital overnight until the blood pressure went down.  But thank God they gave me a room that I didn’t have to share, due to the helpful connections of my wife. 

As I tried to rest, I sensed the demons of death pressing through the walls of the room to take my life.  I was praying, but my prayers weren’t working as I had hoped; it felt like God was watching me, but didn’t want to deliver me. Was this a test?  Yet, I continuously gave God the praise. If this was my last night, I wanted to be sure I gave God the glory!  It felt like God was holding Himself back from hearing me.  It was frightening, but I had finally gotten so tired of being afraid that I had to go to sleep and put my life in God’s Grace and Mercy.  I woke up the next morning glad to be alive.

The next morning, the doctor took a few more tests and said I could go. My blood pressure was down, and everything seemed to check out OK.  But had they taken my blood pressure after seeing me walk out of the room, they may have thought twice about letting me go;  for the same craziness I felt before I arrived at the hospital, I was feeling that very moment.  But I had too much pride to return, especially after being dressed to leave. I wanted to walk out of the building like a man of great faith.  But it didn’t happen.  My head was feeling too crazy; making me humble myself; asking my wife to go back and bring a wheelchair to roll me out. 

That day, I became exceedingly serious about my health.  My entire attitude about my eating lifestyle was transformed dramatically, and everybody knew it. I was willing to do whatever it was going to take to defeat this high blood pressure, and I was going to do it naturally and without medication.

High Blood Pressure prescriptions vs Natural remedies

The doctor sent me home with three prescriptions which I tried for three days with no satisfactory results; after which, I decided not to take them anymore, especially after reading the potential side effects written on the back of each bottle….  It may have been a dangerous decision for some folks, but not for me!  I didn’t come to that conclusion haphazardly, I asked a bunch of questions to myself and doctors. I did a lot of research about high blood pressure, and you know what I found?

1. Doctors weren’t sure if the medicine they gave me would work.
2. Doctors had to inform me that the medicine may have side effects.
3. If medication has a negative impact, the doctor would merely suggest another type of medicine with uncertainty about its efficacy.
4. Certain internet sites suggest that there is no cure for high blood pressure and that one should take medication regularly.
5. Other websites suggest that high blood pressure is hereditary, especially for African Americans.

As I thought about how my Mom and Dad received medication all their lives and never got well; I decided to do the opposite.  Don’t get me wrong; I love doctors and trust doctors to know how to diagnose what is wrong with me; it’s the medication they suggest for my healing…. I question!

I made up my mind to find an all-natural way of lowering blood pressure without medication, which took about 10 weeks to figure out.  Sure, a lot of us Christians would like to merely call on the Lord Jesus Christ, and have Him send down His anointing and heal us; which He often does, but we, sometimes, unaware of the consequences of our actions, return to the same environmental lifestyle that help create the sickness we were delivered from. And when I search the scriptures, I find Jesus reminding them whom he had delivered from sickness, to go and sin no more.  Did you know that every wrong we do to our bodies, is a sin?  Many times, we assume we can sin against our bodies and get away with it; but it doesn’t always work out like that…..  But that’s a different lesson altogether!….

I realized that I was wrong in the way I was treating my body, neglecting the essential peace it needed to be productive for the Lord Jesus Christ.  And God finally revealed a better way of lowering my blood pressure without medication.  But first, I must admit that when I became a vegan, it did not lower my blood pressure as I had hoped; I became a raw food eater, which helped a little better, but not significantly;

Losing Weight for High Blood Pressure

I even lost 41 pounds in 6-1/2 weeks by giving up meets, sugar, salt, oils, and good old-fashioned delicious soul food just so that I could be the exact weight they suggested I should be for my height, but my blood pressure remained far above normal levels, only dropping a few numbers.  But thanks be to God, after researching High Blood Pressure for many days, it dawned on me what high blood pressure was. 

Have you ever looked up the word “High Blood Pressure”?

According to the American Heart Association,  “Another name for High Blood Pressure is —hypertension—!”  Have you ever dissected the word — “hypertension”?

SYNONYMS FOR—“HYPER”

SYNONYMS FOR—“TENSION”

If “High Blood Pressure” is equivalent to “Hypertension” (Hyper-Tension), then this means the arteries of the body are transporting blood cells that are jittery, nervous, restless, uneasy, fretful, troubled, distressed, strained, etc….. 

It’s funny that when you look up “How to Lower Blood Pressure”, you get answers similar to the statements below;

1. Lose extra pounds and watch your waistline…
2. Exercise regularly…
3. Eat a healthy diet…
4. Reduce sodium in your diet…
5. Limit the amount of alcohol you drink…..

Sure, maybe these ideas may help to a certain degree!  And EVERYTHING COUNTS when trying to keep your blood pressure at normal levels. But the most effective way I found to lower my blood pressure (HyperTension) is to calm my body through peace of mind. Everybody needs to set aside time for peace.  Many people like myself, thrive on pressure and love overcoming the odds, and accomplishing goals; but it is necessary to set aside time for peace and relaxation which is hard for some of us.  Remember, some preachers die on the pulpit, while good hard-working people die on their office desks, all because they fail to set aside time for peace. Fortunately, I realized I could use a specific breathing technique I learned years ago to bring peace to my body. 

Now, years later, this technique has risen to bless my life.  Within 40 minutes of using this technique, my blood pressure level went from 178/106 to 113/80.  And I have yet to see any medication or food intake do that in such a short period.  I implement this exercise daily to keep my blood pressure normal. 

Again, If High Blood Pressure is Hyper-Tension, the best defense is PEACE OF MIND!

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for blessing me to be open-minded to other techniques.  I remember reading in the Bible that Jesus spit on dirt to make clay and put the mud in the blind man’s eyes, which gave the blind man his sight.  Another time, 10 lepers wanted healing, but Jesus Christ did not even bother to touch them, nor did He have His disciples to anoint them, He told the lepers to show themselves to the priest; and as they went, they were healed.  In the Old Testament, a prophet told a rich man named Naaman to wash in the dirty Jordan River to get rid of his leprosy, and when Naaman reluctantly agreed to do it, he was healed.

Many times, we, as Christians, want God to heal us in a certain way; and if He doesn’t heal us in the way that is appropriate for our taste, then we act as if it is not His will for us to be healed.  But God wants all of us healed and none of us sick! But are we willing to do whatever it takes to acquire that healing?…….  That is a question He leaves to us to answer!

You may want to Consult a doctor on the experiment of this Breathing Technique for lowering High Blood Pressure

1. Sit on a comfortable mat or the bed with legs crossed or the heel of each foot touching each other.
2. Place your hands together as if in prayer to God with the elbows resting on your thighs
3. Inhale in through your nose very slowly, silently counting to 6.  If it becomes difficult, simply start off inhaling through the nose and finish inhaling through the mouth, totaling the inhaling time at 6 seconds.
4. Slowly exhale while singing the word “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh” for 6 seconds or longer.
5. Repeat this for 20- 40 minutes.

NOTE:  You may want to do this alone in a room, with no interruptions having God on your mind. God has promised to keep you in perfect peace if your mind is stayed on Him.  If the breathing begins to feel like work for you… STOP!  Remember that this is a time to let everything go.  Put all thoughts and worries aside and enjoy a time of peace. Proceed with the exercise while keeping this in mind.  It takes practice, but it is worth it!

This exercise might remind you of some meditation techniques created by spiritualists. If so, such techniques, when used with that mindset, will debilitate the benefit of the exercise. If you are a Christian, be sure to seek counsel from God. When I perform this exercise, I think about the Goodness of God and imagine His anointing circulating throughout every cell of my body creating peace from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet.

May the Lord our God Bless you real Good in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You can be Free! You don’t have to have High Blood Pressure!
