Most doctors tell their patients to eat less salt and less fat. This video explores such mythical thinking and FALSE ADVICE and gives you a science-based explanation of the truth behind salt, hypertension and what you can do to get your high blood pressure into remission off medication. TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR OWN HEALTH….NOBODY ELSE SHOULD CARE ABOUT YOU MORE THAN THE PERSON IN THE MIRROR - THIS IS A SELF-HELP VIDEO

    My husband regularly measures his blood pressure . Chronically high blood pressure for years , huge carb and junk food addict . Had vertigo for a week and towards the end of it for two consecutive days he fasted , not by choice but because of nausea . On the second day of fasting his blood pressure was normal and vertigo had eased . He thought machine was broken and asked me to redo it a few times . He still doesn’t get it that food contributes to blood pressure because his kidney specialist said “we don’t know what causes it “ hundreds of dollars paid to this corporate schill for pushing drugs that don’t help. And yes he was just told to avoid salt, nothing about sugar or diet

      It's not that. Most patients do not want to adjust their lifestyle. They want a pill. I do agree that we need more of us in health care to recommend these changes but again most patients are simply not going to do that. They want a pill because the alternative is too much work for them. That's just reality.

I dropped 35# in 3 months. I’m never hungry. I use redmans real salt on everything. I never used to use any salt. It’s now November of 23, I’ve never felt better and I’ll never take medication again. My bp is perfect.

    After a recent surgery, I was put on a drip.
    I was supposed to be in
    recovery for only one night, but they
    wouldn't release me because my blood
    pressure was extremely high. On the
    fourth day, I asked what was in the drip
    and they said, "Lactic acid." When I
    asked to be changed to a drip of only
    sodium, my blood pressure immediately
    went down and I was able to be released.
    I'm still mad about that. Please, when you
    are put on a drip in the hospital, make sure
    it is NOT any kind of sugar. You can ask
    for a sodium drip.

    Been Carnivore for eight months now. I've lost 40 lbs and I'm off my blood pressure meds, my Statins, my depression meds, and all three of my Diabetes meds. My last medication was Metformin for Diabetes. During a review with my Doc of my fasting blood labs, he said "You don't need Metformin anymore. That's for Diabetics." He was very impressed with my numbers given my history. To my surprise tho, he really didn't seem interested in hearing about my Carnivore diet. And it's too bad cause I'd love to be able to help other people who are fat, unhealthy, depressed, and lost as I was.

      Yeah, it pisses me off because I am 68 and I've had high bp since I was 45 and all I've ever heard, is to cut down on salt. Being from the south, I drink a lot of sweet ice tea, so I'm pretty sure if I quit or cut back on that, my bp would probably normalize or at least be lower.

    Great video. My resting heart rate went from in the 90's to 61 in one day after taking salt. What I learnt. I have started taken responsibility of health. Started keto, but have adopted a healthy keto diet (vegetable, and leafy greens as well) and started exercising ( know up to100 miles per week). I was starting to get concerned because my resting heart rate was going up the more weight I lost and the fitter I got. After increasing my salt intake my pulse is normal and I feel great. The lesson I learnt was moving away from a high carb, low fat, low sodium diet to a keto lift style with lots of exercise your salt intake must be adjusted to your new healthier life style.

    I found this video incredibly valuable I have been suffering from HypOtension for the past 8 months resulting in extreme fatigue an hour so after eating a low carb meal (0-20 carbs). My go to snack food was a few ounces of unsalted pistachios or some times salted almonds For the past 6 months I have been seeing an endocrinologist and I have received battery after battery of tests with almost all parameters in spec with a few just over the high range. Cortisol was on the low side of normal and 2 challenge tests showed normal adrenal, pituitary and hypothalamus response. She finally said that she hadn't a clue what was wrong, prescribed cortisone and said if it doesn't work, see a cardiologist. My standing BP dropped as low as 65/48. I was spending 3 or more hours napping after meals and was feeling totally debilitated. I did add extra salt to my water and cut back my cycling from 30 to 20 miles a day but nothing helped. Last weekend I ran out of pistachios and found a 1/2 lb bag of Stryve biltong at Walmart. Zero carbs and no added sugar, unlike jerky. It was really good and almost the real deal and I consumed the bag in a few days. The following day I no longer felt drowsy after meals the fatigue was almost gone. In addition, I have gone all week without a nap! BP is relatively normal especially between standing and sitting. A recent blood test (8/26) had sodium at 140, Chloride at 106 and potassium at 4.1 and Anion Gap was 13.0, so no obvious deficiency. I was checked yesterday by a cardiologist and my ekg was 100% normal. He did prescribe Midodrine to boost BP when necessary. I was afraid to overdo the salt but after this video I will continue to consume significantly more than I had been. I do check my BP 4 or 5 times daily. I feel your video rationalized my recent experience with additional salt.
    Thanks for the great service!
