… that garlic "inflames the baser passions".

♥Namaste♥

I have great respect for the Hindu faiths… but I feel in my heart that this thing about garlic is an incorrect addition of "man" to the divine truth found in Vedic scripture.

Garlic is a great blessing to my health… it fixes my sore throats (when I take it as a drink with water), prevents cancer (due to high selenium content), prevents & cures high cholesterol & lowers blood pressure (scientifically proven), and clears my swollen (from allergies) nasal passages.

It is also virtually the ONLY spice that my family can tolerate without having physical or mental reactions. Our food would be completely bland without garlic, as we cannot tolerate any other herb. (I find that any other herbs makes my mind feel fuzzy & unclear, & some of them send me completely silly.)

I am wondering if any of you have personal experience to confirm this belief about garlic? Have you ever felt spiritually different from eating/not eating garlic?
Jayasri devi dasi… I don’t see things so black & white to "throw the baby out with the bath water". I have a little experience with how God reveals things to people… & how easy it is for a little bit of opinion to creep in amongst the revelation in a moment of laxness. I guess that’s why each of us needs to know how to test each and every truth for ourselves… and thereby obtain conviction concerning our beliefs.

One fault in doctrine would not negate a whole system. But according to your explanation, it seems not to be a fault, anyway. Thank you for explaining so well.

I am afraid I could never give up garlic. I feel it is a miracle herb from God… could never think of it as otherwise, as I am so grateful for that wonderful herb.

I still am left unconvinced that it would contribute to a less spiritual state. I will have to experiment on this… but garlic has never made it difficult for me to connect with God.

Lollies, old meat, spices, artificial additives have.

IN A NUTSHELL: I’m looking for NATURAL remedies for the blood volume increase at this point, thanks!

———————————————————————————————–

I have POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). I can’t stand I get dizzy and black out due to blood pooling in my legs. I have extreme low blood pressure and I’m seeking natural remedies because I also have severe MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, can’t take drugs, the chemicals in them trigger a reaction and if my BP gets any lower I could die. I’ve already passed out, been in a coma etc…)

I also have severe hypoadrenalism (adrenal failure), hypo-cortisol & hypo-aldosterone. HYPO = TOO LOW!

Recently I heard the term "hypovolemia" and that I don’t have enough blood volume. Why is that?

I drink a lot of water. Not too much so I don’t drown but really a lot.

My face gets very bloated at times. It was fine last night then it became bloated in a moment.

Is there any relation to eating vegetables and fruit and this condition? any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

NOTE: I HAVE GONE TO 6 DOCTORS AND THEY ARE ALL CLUELESS HENCE MY POSTING HERE. DRs. DISMISS ME BECAUSE THEY THINK HYPOTENSION IS NOT SEVERE YET IT’S A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH AT THIS POINT FOR ME. End of my rope. Need help. Thanks.

I am an ASTHMA (a breath trouble or Decease) patient. I takes a tablet every night named ETO SALBETOL. (FORMULA: Etotylline + Salbutamol + bromhexine Tablets). I got too much shivering and extra faster heartbeats after taking this tablet. this shivering go continue for 4-5 hours then i get regular blood pressure, no shivering & normal heartbeats. My age is 23 but i am shivering like 90 year old man after taking this tablet, but there is no other option to kill the attack of this breath trouble. and because of asthma, i cant do any hard work, long walk or outdoor games. so my waist is 28 and my stomach is 34!!! very bad looking my figure is! give me another good tablet or Formula for asthma which would not give me side effects like shivering and give me a sure and safe way to reduce my stomach less that my chest. (well, i got this trouble in Heredity.) Thank you to all of you readers in advance, God bless you.

I’ve had high blood pressure since I was 13 …No reason why, just labeled it as hypertension.. Well about 3 months ago I started going to the chiropractor for dizziness (heaven sent.. almost completely cured the dizziness) …. I decided to check my blood pressure & yesterday it was 88/69 … I was very surprised because it’s usually 150/80 or 90 later in the day… Could this chiropractic care be reducing my blood pressure?

I’ve been checking it regularly … it’s ranged from 88/69 – 130/83. 130/85 was right before I went to bed right before I usually take my medicine. So when I got up I checked it again it was 122/87 but yet when i just checked it .. 3 hours later it is 89/77.

Calculating the distance between Beer & Pizza in refrigerator to the Couch and gaining 5 -10 lbs in one week?subtract sports regular (sex)-cardio exercise,daily situps and push,divide that by having no social live..being bored and lonely…low income…will positively result in obesisty and high blood pressure..final answer!

will stem cell research cure high blood pressure, diabetes, & high clolesterol for good?

My dad has high BP & blood sugar levels. Although he’s administring required medicine, can anyone suggest any good home remedies to keep them always under control.

I just bought this watch that is equiped with a heart rate moniter. I have a heart murmur and my rate flucuates as is- But What I am asking is-

Say my resting Heart rate on the watch states 78-
How do I calculate a Max heart rate zone or a target zone?
I am 24 years old with mild high blood pressure!

Thanks so much,
This is the watch I have;

I record my blood pressure(Systolic / Distolic) & heart rate on a daily basis for many days, for example:
Sys/Dis Heart rate
111/8149
108/8050
105/7948
122/8447
114/7951

I’d like very much to be able to get a collective ave. of the above five days as well as the BP as ???/?? ??.
Have been trying to use a formula but so far unsuccessful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

I am going on 34 weeks pregnant & trying to get prepared for my daughters arrival. I will be formula feeding with her as I’m on blood pressure medication which passes through breast milk. I already received some bottles from my baby shower, I have a few Dr. Browns & Playtex with the liners. Are there any bottles that you recommend? And how many should I purchase before she gets here?

Thanks Tim. I do eat a lot of salt or I couldn’t stay conscious.

PLEASE REPORT THE TROLL gazeygoo, I nearly died twice, I don’t need to be insulted like this.

I donate blood on a regular basis, at least once a quarte, and have never had aproblem donating. Today I went to donate and could not because my blood pressure was too high. The lady said it could have a little to do with my two cups of coffee and bottle of coke I drank this morning, because of the caffeine. But then I also remembered that I took Sudafed PE last night for a bad headache. It is maximum strength Sinus & Allergy formula. I took one does at 6 pm, then another at 11 pm and tried to donate at noon today. Could this effect my blood pressure? I usually stay away from ANY medications for at least three days before a donation, but I just completely forgot, probably because my headache was so bad I was not thinking.

I need ideas of somethings to suggest my boyfriend uses to stop smoking. He’s been smoking for 5 years & he’s gotten to the point where he can smoke 3 packs in 24 hours.

Ive smoked for going on 9 yrs. Im 22.I already know smoking is bad for me. I dont want any bullshit answers, serious answers only please. Ive tried "Quit Line Iowa". Ive tried cold turkey. Ive stopped when I got really sick but cant seem to beak the cycle. Please again, serious answers only. Im not here to be bashed.
I also was prescribed welbutrin, but makes me feel flighty.

I have been smoking since I was 10 years old. That was 10 years ago. What are some of the cheap & easiest ways to stop smoking and get into better health?
I also live with smokers and ride with 2 smokers to work. I am always around it.

I don’t want to gain extra weight & want to exercise. Although I realize that when one stops smoking, they tend to consume more food. I am sure there are measures to take that will curb this habit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I smoke cigarettes (nothing else). I asked my 10 year old what he wanted for Christmas this year and he told me the only thing he really wants is for me to quit (bless his heart). Now, before I go talk to my doctor I just wanted to know what has worked for others who have quit smoking. Also before you blast me for smoking in the first place, yes I was a stupid 16 year old who wanted to look "cool" but got hooked, and no I’m not proud of it. And no, I don’t smoke around my kids either, I smoke out side.

And yes this is a serious question and yes I know it’s in the wrong section, but the M&D people are the only ones I would actually listen to for advice.

When you smoke, all the tobacco goes up in smoke. The tobacco is burnt away leaving ashes. Doesn’t the fire of a cigerette kill those harmful chemicals, germs, & bacteria? Is there a way to successfully stop besides not starting in the first place?

am 46 , I am 153(I use to be 190) I am 6.2. I always had high blood pressure(since the age of 16) and it was always emotional high blood pressure. I started taking BP medication about 8 years ago. Now I am on 2 medications Coreg 12.5 per day & Benicar 40mg per day. I switched to a Fruitarian Rwafoodist diet and my readings got mucfh better. Last week my readings dropped to 100/62. At work I had an icident and the paramedics came. My doctor told me to stop both medications right away and resume when my BP is normal. Do I really need to resume? What are my options here? Thanks
It has been 4 days and my BP average 115/82(without meds).
I have been on my Fruitarian-Rawfoodist diet for about 1 year 1/2

I have no cardio problem except that I am emotional that’s why Coreg
In case my BP comes back to normal /bordeline range I was thinking going for hawthorn berries?

PS: I almost got into a cardio arrest because of those 2 meds at work. So plz telling me to talk to my doc first won’t improve things. My diet profile has totally changed as well as my weight . I use to be 190 when I started the treatment.

coz i keep hearing that it’s not good for young people to take blood pressure reducing drugs, is it just something that people keep mumbelling about, or is it based on facts,
& what exactly about Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors coz i read in wikipedia they’r used to treat heart failure (my heart is working fine)

am 45. Fruitarian-Rawfoodist , 150 for 6.2. I was on 2 blood pressure medications for a few years but because of my diet & weight loss , my blood pressure dropped to 100/65 and I almost passed out. I was told to stop the medications then resume when it get to 140/80. I don’t wish to resume my meds but I would like to try an alternative treatment. I purchased some hawthorn berry pills. So far it has reduce my heart beats from 95 to 80 but in order to reduce my BP how many should I take? I only take 1 per day. My BP is now between 125/83 to 145/98 during the day. Thanks
