Hello Walt,
I neglected to ask this question a while ago. From what I've read, my belief is that SR would be beneficial for those dealing with high blood pressure. Wish my mother knew and practiced SR, as she lived her life with this condition.
Ironically, I seems to always fall within the lower levels of blood pressure ranges - at least the" second number" (which I can't remember the correct term for!) is usually quite "low". It falls between the low 60s and 70s. I may be wrong, but I think I have seen that particular reading in the upper 50s also. My question is that are there any negative effects to doing SR if I am already dealing with low range blood pressure readings? Or are there any particular techniques that I should be cautious of so my blood pressure doesn't drop to an "undesireable" level?
It is strange to me and I feel fortunate at least that my reading stay so low with the incredible amount of stress I have dealt with and my mother's tendancy to have high levels. Thanks again for your help! Sharon

Hi, Sharon.
I am sure you have heard the "old wives tale" that those who tended to have low blood pressure in early life, tend to have high blood pressure in later life. Well, it is TRUE and now we know why.
It is because many people with "low" pressure have it BECAUSE their system no longer has enough reserves to keep it "normal" for them. Eventually, that person will have high pressure as the situation progresses.
With your family history, this is your most likely secnario.
NOW, would be the ideal time for you to resolve this coming problem with SR.
Healthy people have normal BP for THEM. The more SR any person does, in this culture, the healthier they will be. SO, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for SR to harm you in any way.
It is VERY simplistic to wait until the person HAS hypertension before treating it since the precursers can be seen 20 years in advance (already with our present gross knowledge). Of course, simplistic thinking is what the allopathic paradigm is good at. The day will come (soon) when we can predict which person will get hypertension while still a child.
Let us know how you do.
Walt

Hello Walt,
Actually I had NOT heard of the wives tale you mentioned, so I GREATLY appreciate you providing this information to me. In fact, I thought I had a lesser chance of getting high BP later on in life due to the lower levels now. However, I did think it was a bit strange that my BP stayed low while other areas of my system showed clear indications of chronic stress.
Thanks again....and although I wasn't real concerned about SR affecting me negatively - I am VERY glad I asked this question.....
Sharon

Hi, Dootsiford.
How long have you been on the essential oils? How are you doing with your SR?
Call Meridian Valley Labs., at (253) 859-8700. and ask them who on Barbados orders intracellular mineral analyses for them. You could also ask healthcomm.com for who on Barbados has subscribed to their service for more than 2 years.
Whoever that is is who you should have as your basic doctor.
Let us know what happens.
Walt

Dear Doctor Stoll,
My echocardiogram showsthe heart muscle enlarged due to hypertension.I was put on medication which has so far failed to lower my BP below 160/86. Actually,BP increased on two occasions to 180/100.I started SR but I don't know if to do it while my pressure is high.It started in Oct. 1999. One day my BP was 138/75.I went to a picnic in the mountains{Grenada}the next morning BP was 180/102. Since then medications have not brought my pressure back to pre october levels.
My MD says it is not stress related although I told him of my anxiety attacks which are becoming quite frequent.
I explained I was caregiver to my mother for a few years
without any help and I have not had a vacation for 16 years
yet my doctor rules out stress.What can I do now? I am on
Zestoretic 20mg and Minipress 2mg.daily.
Regards,
Dootsiford

Further to my posting earlier today,I think you should know that tests for calcium, magnesium, potassium, TSH,T3,T4,cholesterol,free T3,sodium ,glucose are all OK.
Thanks,
Dootsiford

Hi, Dootisford.
You need a better doc. Anyone who kas kept up with modern medicine KNOWS that ALL hypertension is at least related to chronic stress. He must not have cracked a book since he graduated from medical school.
There were several presenters at the conference who would understand what to do about reversing chronic stress via SR.
From what you are saying here, your system has given up the ghost and you are going to HAVE to learn the SR asap and practice it at least 3 times a day.
In the meantime, for yout heart to have hypertrophied, due to the hypertension, you have to have had it for at least 10 years already. One of the problems with hypertension is tht it has no symptoms until something like this becomes apparent. Since your blood pressure would have been normal most of the time the chances are that it would have been missed unless you checked it at home several times a day for months.
It seems that you will have to become an expert in this area before your doc takes the time to catch up.

Hi, Dootsiford.
If your same doc ordered the magnesium, as said that stress had notihing to do with your condition, is was likely a serum magnesium ----worse than useless since the doc believes that it means something.
Let me know if that is the case.
Walt

My doctor did not prescribe magnesium. he tested my blood for magnesium calcium potassium and said the results were within normal range.So now he says I shoud see a psychiatrist to find out about anxiety.

Hi, Dootsiford.
It is your hypertension doc who needs the psychiatrist! First of all, do you have a copy of the results? I would bet that he only tested serum magnesium and that is totally unreliable. It must be an intracellular test. Get a copy and get back to me about that as well. Does he not know that the cause of your anxiety is related to the cause of your hypertension? You are paying this guy for advice???
Next, if a psychiatrist is the best suggestion he has for your anxiety, he is at least 30 years behind the times.
Walt
