The heart is a small but very powerful pump that beats steadily throughout your
life, circulating five litres (more than 10 pints of blood) around the body
every minute. The smaller blood vessels through which the blood passes produce a
resistance to blood flow. The pumping of the heart against this resistance
creates the blood pressure necessary for the circulation of the blood. This
circulation is essential for nutrition of the major organs, such as the heart,
kidneys, liver and brain, providing the vital oxygen and nutrients necessary for
life. So, everyone needs to have a blood pressure to maintain their circulation!
When the heart contracts, the highest pressure it produces is called the
systolic pressure; when it relaxes, the lowest pressure is called the diastolic
pressure. Both of these pressures are important in determining the risk of heart
attack and stroke, so both will be measured by your doctor. A normal blood
pressure in a young person might be around 130/80 (often described as 130 over
80) - this is shorthand for a systolic pressure of 130 and a diastolic pressure
of 80. We start thinking blood pressure is high when it is above 160/100.
Understanding high blood pressure
Blood pressure is vital to life whilst high blood pressure can be a threat to
it. A permanently raised blood pressure leads to an increased tendency to blood
vessel damage, and blood clot formation which may result in heart attack,
stroke, or kidney failure. High blood pressure affects one in six of us. High
blood pressure tends to run in families. Ironically, you may be totally unaware
that your blood pressure is high. Apart from rare exceptions, there is no cure
for high blood pressure. Treatment lowers blood pressure, but when it is stopped
the blood pressure rises again.
Causes of high blood pressure
In the vast majority of people with high blood pressure there is no single clear
cut cause, and the condition is called hypertension. A number of factors combine
to raise the blood pressure, of which heredity is most important - high blood
pressure tends to run in families. Contrary to popular myth, high blood pressure
is not a disease of the nervous/ highly-strung, or caused by a stressful
lifestyle. If your blood pressure is high your doctor may arrange several
measurements as the stress of seeing a doctor may initially cause blood pressure
to rise! In a very few people there is a specific cause for high blood pressure,
and removal of the cause can produce a 'cure'.
Magnetic treatment for high blood pressure
Although there is no known cure for the majority of people suffering with high
blood pressure, it is possible to treat it very successfully. Mainstream
treatments include water tablets (diuretics) and high blood pressure tablets (
anti hypertensives: beta blockers, ace inhibitors and calcium channel blockers).
Magnets can also be used to treat high blood pressure by eliminating excess
fluid in the body. When a person is first diagnosed with high blood pressure the
first course of treatment a doctor will try is diuretics, the aim of water
tablets is to eliminate fluid from the body this is a side effect of high blood
pressure ( particularly the extremities: hands, feet and ankles). The excess
fluid puts pressure in the heart and this in turn increases blood pressure.
The primary aim of diuretics is to get rid of the extra fluid so that blood
pressure is reduced, as the workload of the heart reduces. Magnetised water has
a natural detoxification effect on the body, drinking at least 4 glasses a day
will eliminate excess fluid (plus toxins stored in the fluid) from the body.
This has the same effect a that of diuretics in that as the fluid is “off
loaded” the workload of the heart is decreased and blood pressure is reduced.
In addition to drinking magnetised water blood pressure can also be reduced by
wearing magnets around the wrist. The radial artery is situated in the wrist and
is one of the bodies main arteries, when a magnetic field is applied over the
radial artery the magnetism is rapidly and distributed around the body. Blood
flow is improved around the whole body and the heart ,the whole circulatory
system receives increased oxygen which in turn increases oxygenation of the
organs and tissues, as a result of the improved oxygenation the heart does not
have to pump so many times a minute to ensure enough oxygen is supplied to the
body and this reduces the workload which will automatically reduce blood
pressure.
Although these 2 magnetic treatments for high blood pressure are extremely
effective and will give results very quickly, it is important to remember that
high blood pressure medication should not be stopped suddenly. If you use
magnets to treat your high blood pressure ensure that your blood pressure is
checked regularly by the GP or practice nurse. When your blood pressure has
reduced your doctor will reduce your medication accordingly. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
MEDICATION MUST ALWAYS BE REDUCED BY A DOCTOR.
