The high Blood Pressure Solution: Natural Prevention and Cure with the K Factor

I found this book extremely informative. My blood pressure was high normal to mild and my doctor wanted to put me on a diuretic. I had Dr. Julian Whitaker's book Reversing Hypertension and he mentioned the K factor in his book and Dr. Moore's book on the K factor. I ordered the book, read it cover to cover and immediately began the program. Within two weeks, my blood pressure was down 8-10 points systolic and diastolic. Medical doctors care about the sodium you ingest but never mention increasing the potassium in your diet. Diuretics flush out the sodium AND the potassium. Thank you Dr. Whitaker and Dr. Moore for your enlightening book!

It works!

This author maintains that blood pressure can be lowered naturally by maintaining a potassium to sodium ratio of 4/1 in your diet without using potassium supplements. I didn't believe it... until I tried it. Within a week, I went from 150/100 to 110/68. I can't wait to show to my doctor how well nutrition therapy works!!!

Helped me immediately

I had been in Stage 3 Hypertension for at least 6 months and was given a Beta Blocker to lower my Blood Pressure. When I read this book, I stopped taking the Beta Blocker and followed the nutritional quidelines in this book, plus starting taking a Potassium tablet in the morning and the evening. I immediately started feeling better and was able to sleep at night, which was in itself a great relief. This treatment does not cost anything and really works quickly and well. I strongly endorse it! I think it is the right way to treat this disease.

Avoid the pills- do it naturally

This book details ways for a person with hypertension to lower their blood pressure using natural methods. Dr. Moore is an M.D. and PhD who has done years of research in this area. He concludes that a low level of potassium (K) is a major casue of hypertension. He gives dietary instructions on how to raise your potassium, and lower your sodium. The book is well documented and is very readable. It is an encouraging book for those who have hypertension, but want to try a treatment more natural than using prescription medications. I recommend it to my patients. Russell Tweet M.D.
