Patient Testimonial
of the Month
I am feeling so much better. In fact, I have not felt this good in many years. I am so thankful for all you have done to help me get this far. I was virtually out of hope by the time I came in, but now I know that one day I will be healthy again and will not need drugs to sleep or deal with life.That makes me one joyful person.
J.B.

In medical school, we are taught that 95% of the cases of hypertension (high blood pressure) that we come across are considered idiopathic, meaning that it does not have a known cause. We know there are some obvious contributors to high blood pressure such as stress, being overweight, and taking certain medications, but how can it be that so many people require blood pressure medication for no known reason? From a wellness perspective, most cases of hypertension do have an obvious underlying cause, and that's diet. The ever-worsening American diet is causing an ever-increasing number of people with high blood pressure. It's time to reflect on the amount of sugar, alcohol, caffeine, salt, toxins, grains, and allergens you are consuming if you have high blood pressure.
Below is a list of common classes of blood pressure medications and some of the more common side effects of them:
