(study presented to the American  Heart Association 57th convention in Washington, D.C. by Dr. Richard Jennings of the University of Pittsburgh).

A – Yes!  Foods rich in magnesium lower BP: avocados, nuts (not peanuts), seeds, seaweed, brown rice, blueberries, organic eggs, legumes, split pea soup, pineapples, yams, and green leafy vegetables.

Also foods rich in potassium: Swiss chard, avocado, spinach, crimini mushrooms, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, celery, leafy greens, tomato, sweet potatoes, wild salmon, melons, bananas, oranges, and apricots.

Q – WHY ARE YOU SUGGESTING NATURAL FOODS AND SUPPLEMENTS INSTEAD OF MEDICATIONS?

A – Work with your physician to stop blood pressure medications. According to the Complete Guide to Prescription Drugs  by Dr. H. Winter Griffith, M.D. they stress your brain, nervous system, pancreas, lungs, bone marrow, liver, heart, kidneys, and blood vessels. They also stress your autoimmune system which causes muscle stress = fibromyalgia; pancreatic stress = diabetes; and joint stress = arthritis.  Monitor you blood pressure closely as you take all the natural supplements. Then you can gradually cut back on your very dangerous drugs once your natural therapy reduces your blood pressure to 145/95 or lower always under the guidance of your doctor.
