@Romeo4real, you are busy looking for people that their views have not been clinically proved. I think it is better you first of all proffer an advice to somebody that needs it then you can now criticize somebody you claim his/her view has not been clinically proved.

@Poster, my advice on hypertension is that it is a sickness that can be managed, this you can do by the following;

(1) Check your blood pressure consistently.
(2) Monitor what you eat, eat fruits, vegetables, less fatty food, reduce salt intake.
(3) Exercise is very key.
(4) Sleep well and avoid stress
(5) Alcohol and caffeine intake should be reduced or avoided.
(6) Always be happy
(7) Eat less and if on the fat side, reduce your weight.
(cool Meditate and equally pray well.

I think this and what others have said will definitely assist.

Romeo4real:

What nonsense is this?

Serious nonsense. Can the advertiser please explain to me how a device strapped around ones arm can work to reduce the blood pressure of someone who has such a bad diet that his/are arteries are all clogged up with plaque? How something non-invasive strapped around one arm logically remove the plaque from all the blood vessels in the body? Even surgery doesn'y cure this problem. People who undergo heart surgery usually have the major vessels (i.e the coronary artery) replaced with a graft (i.e an artery from somewhere else), because the coronary artery cannot be "cleaned out" of years of debris.

Another alternative is that patients go on a blood-thinning medication (Warfarin is the popluar one used in the UK), and what this medication does is that it makes the blood thinner, thus, making it easier to flow through narrowed vessels and hopefully the heart doesn't need to put as much pressure into pumping blood around the body. It's like pumping water and 'akamu' down a pipe. You need more pressure to force the 'akamu' through, but if you make it lighter by adding water, it flows eaily and you use less pressure.

My brother, I know you are trying to sell market, but please be part of the solution to Nigeria's problems not part of the problem. When we point a finger at the government for putting us in the mess we are in, we forget that we also contribute to this mess by being dishonest.

why are nigerians so heartless?
someone posts a question here and so many people jump on board peddling on form of ''hypertension cure'' or the other.
Please let the poster take the many sugestions on lifestyle modifications and seeing a physician and disregard people whose only interest is in selling and not on health. angry

One should just pray not to fall sick. Once you fall sick doctors will use you and make their money. This is truely a bizzare country.

I remember I was once taking an injection lasting 2 weeks and half way through the treatment the doctor told me the drug price have gone up and that I needed to pay more money. I knew immediately it was a lie. But that I did as I have no other choice at that point than to finish the scheme.

Re: How To Control Or Prevent Hypertension? by Nobody: 4:24am On Jul 27, 2010
Get proper medication for the condition
Exercise at least 30 minutes 5 days a week to expand your blood vessels and bring the pressure down
Watch your diet - reduce or eliminate salt and salty snacks

Keep monitoring your blood pressure, you may or may not need continued medication but let your Doctor determine that
If it's hereditary, there's a possibility you may not be able to eliminate it without medication

It's a leading cause of stroke and other internal organs trouble so please pay attention to it and do what you need to keep it under control

Check www.webmd.com for some good information on it

Beware of people eager to sell you all sorts of things!
Re: How To Control Or Prevent Hypertension? by http(m): 5:01am On Jul 27, 2010
Am not a doctor or markrter, some of the post have suggested some vital points regarding reduction and keeping hypertension under control, the most important thing to do is to remove any thought in you, -tive especially, live a simple life, exercise regularly and pray, God will surely complete the rest.

I don try, pls my broda poster, if u're the one in this situation, pls, think less, be +ive, and change will come.
Re: How To Control Or Prevent Hypertension? by zoogy2007: 8:01am On Jul 27, 2010
@ poster.
You say you want to treat,prevent or control blood pressure without seeing a doctor? You will only get your fingers burnt if you do that and by the time you realise it ,it maybe too late.

There are various causes of hbp and you need to know what causes your own. Only a specialist can tell you what causes your own. He has to do it by constant monitoring.
I am a sufferer and it took my doctor 1yr to find the most effective way to control mine and ever since we did life has been better. So please see you doc immediately and work together.Do a lot of research too

I wish you all the best

ELIMINATE SALT FROM MEALS(salt contains sodium which causes retention of liquids by the body)
-It is convenient to increase your intake of POTASSIUM,CALCIUM and VITAMIN D since this causes the body to dissolve its sodium content.
-You should also try to increase your intake of VITAMINS C,A and E as well as EXERCISING daily
-GARLIC is very beneficial,either naturally or taken in odorless capsules
-Take LECITHIN(found in egg yolk,soy beans or sold as herbal supplements)-It helps dissolve blood clots in veins,emulsifies fats and cholesterol and then takes them to your liver for transformation.
-AVOID STRESS AT ALL COSTS-stress WILL cause your veins to contract provoking an increase in blood pressure.

Garlic ( you can take garlic oil supplement from the pharmacy shelf
Onion ( add more onions on your food )
Cucumber ( ead raw, 2-3 medium sized cucumber )

HOW LOCAL PLANT BEATS DIABETE, PAINS, OTHERS
Nigerians researchers have enlisted another local plant as one of the major candidates in the quest for better alternatives in the treatment of diabetes, hypertension, pains, obesity, malaria, preventing mis-carriages, menstrual disorders, hastening childbirth, boosting immunity in peoples living with Human Immune-Deficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), among others.

Botanically called Hunteria umbrella, the plants belongs to the family Apocynaceaein Nigeria, it is known as osu in Edo, erin or aarin in Yoruba and Nkpokiri in Ibo. The seeds are generally called abeere.

A professor of botany at the department of plant biology and biotechnology and the dean of student affairs, university of Benin (UNIBEN) Edo State, MacDonald Idu, told the Guardian that Hunteria umbellate is one of the plants his team found to be useful in treatment of diabetes, hypertension and HIV/AIDS.

Idu said: “there is a particular plant, which I could not do further investigation on. It is called Hunteria umbellate. We worked on it some years back. We found out that it increases the immunity of body. During our round table talk, the medicinal microbiologists insisted that this particular plant will be very helpful in the treatment of HIV/AIDS.”

Idu said he got to know about the plant from Cote d’Ivoire where they use the plant to effectively treat malaria. Idu further stated: “If I show you the seed you will be surprised. If you tested it now, you would not be able to eat because it is very bitter. We have done the preliminary work. We did the toxicity and the antimicrobial. We have gathered it again. We are hoping to develop it and see if we can get grant so that we can go outside the country to see if we can harness that immune aspect of it,”

Idu said most degenerative diseases like diabetes; hypertension and heart attack are because of poor eating habits. “let me be honest with you., most disease are because of eating habits . our eating habits in Nigerian is very bad. People just eat anything once you can combine good eating habits and the use of that formulation you are peace with yourself,” he said.

According to the useful plant of west tropical Africa Vol 1, “the bark and the root are made into a bitter tonic in Nigeria, and pawdered root and root-decoction are used to prevent miscarriage and in treatment of menorrhagia (cn abnormally heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals). A number of alkaloids have been detected in the plant.”

According to the polish pharmaceutical society’s journal, Acta Poloniae pharmaceutical drug research, Voi. 67 No. 1 PP, 81 85, 20100, various parts of the plant have been used in herbal medicine for the treatment of diabetes, pepticullcers, piles, yaws, dysmennrrhea, febers, infections.

Yaws is a long-term chronic infection that mainly affects the skin, bones, and joints. Dysmenorrheal (or dysmenorrhoea) is a gynecological medical condition characterized by severe uterine pain during menstruation. Helminthic is a medication capable of causing the evacuation of parasitic intestinal worms.

Chemical constituents such as saponins, steroids, tannins, volatile oils, phenols and copious amounts of alkaloids have been reported in the fruits of H. umbellate. Members of the genus Hunteria have been subject of chemical and biological investigation and they have been widely employed in traditional and herbal medicine for treatment of pains inflammations.

The result of a recent study by Nigerian researchers at the UNIBEN indicates that the aqueous extract of H. umbellate possesses acute inflammatory activity which may be mediated by either inhibition or by blocking the release of prostaglandis and histamine, thus supporting the usage of the plant in traditional medicine treatment of inflammation.

The study is titled “Anti-inflammatory Activity of Aqueous fruit pulp extract of Hunteria umbellate in Acute and Chronic inflammation.”

The researchers concluded: “the aqueous fruit pulp extract of H. umbellate ha been shown to be effective against acute inflammation (carrageenan- and dextran-induced paw edema, and xylene-induced ear edema) in a dose related manner but without any significant inhibitory effect on chronic inflammation (formalin-induced arthritis). This present study supports the claim in the use of the fruit pulp extract of h. umbellate in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory conditions.” Inflammation is associated with lower intelligence and premature death, according to Swedish scientists from the karolinska institute in stockholm, Sweden. Also, west African traditional midwives used hunteria umbellata as phytomedicine in herbal remedies to treat pregnancy related ailment, and most especially to augment or induce labour in gravid uterus. Nigerian researchers have investigated this claim with view to validating scientifically the ethno – medicinal usage the study is titled “phytochemical components of hunteria umbellate and its effect on isolated non-pregnant rat uterus in oestrus.” This preliminary investigation revealed that hunteria umbellate has oxytocic (hastening or facilitating childbirth, especially by stimulating contractions of the uterus) effect thus justifying the use by the traditional birth attendants.” Also, researchers at the lagos state university college of medicine, ikeja, and university of Lagos, idi-araba have investigated the use of dry seeds of hunteria umbellata in the treatment of various human diseases, including diabetes mellitus and obesity. According to the study published in international journal of applied research in natural products, “results showed that HU caused progressive and significant dose-related reduction in the blood glucose is concentrations in normal and drug-induced hyperglycaemic rats, an effect, which was more than that of glibenclamide (anti-diabetic drug) and mediated via inhibition of intestinal glucose up take and adrenergic homeostatic mechanisms. HU also caused significant dose-dependant reduction in the average body weight of treated rats when compared to untreated rats.”

Prevention is always better than cure

We have 20 Million Nigerians who are Diabetic! Based on the African diet (the kind of food we eat), diabetes is predicted to become an epidemic in a few more years. The cost of management is high, the drugs are not curative.

Loetue still remains the Best preventive invention for High Blood Pressure. Every home needs it. especially conscious adult. Join the effort in reducing diabetes, and not wait till it affects someone close to us.
