The Blood Pressure Cure by Robert
E. Kowalski
Why a new blood pressure book? And why did Kowalski feel so adamant that
an entirely new approach to control was urgently needed? Blood pressure
(BP) is one of the three major risk factors for heart disease and stroke,
the leading killers of both men and women in the United States. One million
persons worldwide suffer from hypertension. In the U.S. 65 million people
have high blood pressure.
There are no symptoms of high blood pressure, making it the Silent Killer.
Millions remain undiagnosed, with risk rising year after year. New national
guidelines call for achieving even lower BP levels than previously advocated.
That’s because risk rises with every incremental increase.
The new term prehypertension indicates levels of BP that predict with 90
percent certainty that the individual will ultimately develop dangerous
levels of hypertension. Many of those taking prescription drugs do not achieve
healthy BP levels. And many patients discontinue taking such drugs owing
to adverse reactions and side effects.
While frequently recommended lifestyle modifications including weight loss
and cigarette cessation can help, typically such measures do not bring blood
pressure levels to normal.
After three solid years of research, Kowalski developed a program of completely
new approaches to lowering blood pressure. These include both innovative
lifestyle ideas that are really easy to implement and newly developed dietary
supplements, clinically proven to reduce blood pressure safely and effectively.
The program can completely eliminate the state of prehypertension, between
120/80 and 139/89, and can greatly reduce frank hypertension, defined as
blood pressure more than 140/90. Those taking drugs can reduce dosages or
eliminate at least one prescription drugs if the person has been taking
two or three.
