5 Tips for Reducing Cholesterol Without Medication

This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. Cholesterol is a waxy-textured substance produced by the body to perform many essential functions, for instance: to make cell membranes, produce certain hormones, and Vitamin D. But like so many good things, cholesterol too is harmful in excess.

There are two types of Cholesterol

High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and 2. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL).

HDL is called as a good cholesterol because it carries cholesterol to your liver, where it is removed as waste before it can build up in your body.

LDL carries cholesterol directly to your arteries, where it accumulates and forms hard deposits on arterial walls, hardening and narrowing the arteries, hence its description as “bad” cholesterol.

Natural ways to reduce cholesterol

1) Maintain your diet: Unhealthy food, unhealthy diet are the main reasons of high cholesterol. High nitrites, salt, sugar, trans fats, saturated fat, animal dairy, and dairy products,these items are responsible for the rising incidences of cholesterol-related problems. The best thing you can do for your health which is healthy diet and avoid food containing saturated and trans fats.

2)Exercise: Exercise is also benefecial for lowering BP to reducing blood glucose levels. We have to do daily exercise to keep yourself healthy. Walking is also good exercise, try to add a mix of cardio, resistance, and flexibility exercises into your routine. There are other exercise also good for health, jogging, swimming, dancing, running etc.

3)Lose weight:For every extra pound you carry, your body produces a couple of extra milligrams of cholesterol. Every Day! Being overweight affects the way your body produces and uses lipoproteins and triglycerides. Triglycerides are a lipid (fatty substance) your body needs but only in tiny amounts.

Excessive triglycerides increase the amount of free fatty acids carried to the liver; it can make you insulin resistant (which further increases the free fatty acids in your liver) and it increases inflammation in the body, which affects the body’s ability to produce and manage good cholesterol—HDL.

Introducing healthy, nutrient-dense foods into your diet, cutting out excessively salty, sweet, and oily foods, portion control and exercise will help you reduce your body weight and improve your cholesterol levels.

4)Natural Supplements: Natural supplements include Garlic, Flax seeds, Soluble Fiber. Garlic has gastronomic feature, great cholesterol buster. If you consume garlic regularly its helpful in lower BP, and cholesterol levels. Flax seeds has cholesterol-busting properties is Omega-3 Fatty Acid, an alpha-linoleic acid (ALA) that is very good for heart health. Soluble fiber is the medium your body uses to improve its digestive function.

5)Stop Smoking: Smoking is universally known to be harmful to your health, but yet many peoples still do it. This isn't good, and it's important to stop smoking as soon as possible. And if you’re suffering from cholesterol problems, it’s worse, it hits you with a double whammy. Another negative factor is that smoking damages the blood vessel lining, which further increases the risk of heart attacks and stroke.

Cholesterol is both good and bad. LDL, aka, bad cholesterol leads to arterial plaque, hardening, and narrowing of the arteries, with the risk of heart attack and stroke. HDL, aka, good cholesterol is carried to the liver where it is processed and removed from the blood. The body produces sufficient cholesterol for its own needs. When we adopt unhealthy lifestyle habits—unhealthy diets, insufficient exercise, ignoring stress—we raise cholesterol levels in our own bodies. To read more about this, please visit our Article.

DNA test: Takes an extremely long time to fully process, but early results show that Danny’s DNA is covered in a thin layer of ectoplasm, making the underlying structure difficult to decipher. Programming a machine to recognize it could be difficult.

Urine tests: normal

Pulmonary function tests: normal

Allergy panel shows no reactions.

Hypermobility test shows hypermobility in spine, elbows, and knees. No other signs of EDS, tentatively ascribed to his abilities.

Dietitian consult: nothing concrete yet. They discuss Danny’s eating habits, deal frankly with the fact that they don’t know what his exact dietary needs are, and talk about intuitive eating. Danny gets a list of signs to look out for and things to try.

Endocrinologist consult: they discuss Danny’s concerns and assess his current stage of puberty. Danny states (visibly mortified) that he has grown two inches since his accident, no vocal deepening, no facial or body hair, no reproductive function benchmarks. They discuss various possible causes of delayed puberty (excessive exercise, psychosocial problems, physical trauma, irradiation) as well as treatment options. Danny asks what circumstances would normally have them recommend inducing puberty (bullying, ostracization, distress) and they finally decide to go ahead and induce it.

Semen analysis: Danny is producing normally but the sperm die before exiting.

Slit-lamp exam shows tapetum lucidum in human form and odd eye structure in ghost form.

Autonomic nervous system tests:

>Gag reflex: Sensitive in human form, inactive in ghost form

Human CT scan was normal.

Ghost CT scan was semitransparent but otherwise normal.

Vaccine test shows good immune system function.

Human fNIRS, EEG, and MEG brain scans were used primarily for mapping. Showed normal activity for motor function and sensory activity, slightly reduced activity for memory exercises and problem solving, and substantially reduced activity for emotional responses.

Ghost EEG and MEG brain scans were used primarily for mapping. Showed no activity for motor function, mild activity for sensory and memory functions, and moderate activity for problem solving and emotional responses. No brain stem activity. (fNIRS not performed because it monitors blood oxygen activity in the brain and his ghost form doesn't have that)

Human MRI scan is largely normal, but shows darkened nerves on the left hand.

Ghost MRI scan indicated that his insides are abnormally malleable but highly coherent. Nerve damage is much less apparent owing to minimal function.

Human EMF reading showed increased activity corresponding to reduced brain activity.

Ghost EMF reading showed moderate activity for everything except emotional responses, which indicated strong activity.

Nerve conduction study shows severe nerve damage in ulnar and median nerves in human form, no nerve response in ghost form.

Electromyography shows that very few electrical signals are being transmitted in his left hand, Danny moves his hand with Magic. Otherwise normal readings in human form, ghost form shows no readings at all.

Polysomnography shows several signs associated with hibernation, making Danny’s sleep deeper, but his brain waves still indicate REM sleep in a normal pattern.

All biopsies normal except the inclusion of ectoplasm.

Microneurography was for mapping only.

The doctors manage to create an external device that can monitor the EMF activity of Danny’s core in milligauss, as well as his core pitch. It outputs it as a graph. Danny’s core EMF is 3,210, and his resting surface EMF in ghost form is around 2,000, with a total range of 200 feet. In human form, this is significantly reduced to 800 mG at the surface, and a range of 80 feet. (GIW sensors only detect as low as 900 mG, while the Fentons’ goes as low as 750.)

Core EMF level varies from ghost to ghost, measured on a scale that goes from 1 to 300. This is found to be equivalent to 15 to 4500 milligauss. All but around 2/3 of radiation is naturally contained, but the amount rises rapidly with power use.

BRONX, N.Y., Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study led by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine involving more than 200,000 adults found that the COVID-19 pandemic caused a 29% increase in risk for developing dyslipidemia, a condition involving abnormal lipid (fat) levels in the blood. Seniors and people with type 2 diabetes were even more strongly affected, experiencing an approximately two-fold increased risk for developing dyslipidemia, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. The research was published today in the print edition of The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

"Given the extent of the pandemic, this increase in dyslipidemia risk is a cause for concern around the world," said study leader Gaetano Santulli, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of medicine and of molecular pharmacology at Einstein. "Based on our findings, we would advise people to have their lipid levels monitored regularly and to consult with their healthcare providers about ways to treat dyslipidemia if detected, especially elderly individuals and patients with diabetes." He noted that this advice would apply to all adults, not just those formally diagnosed with COVID-19, considering that many people have been infected without realizing it.

To put these findings into context, it has been estimated that 53% of U.S. adults had dyslipidemia before the pandemic; a 29% increase in dyslipidemia incidence due to COVID-19 would mean that 68% of Americans may now be at risk for having lipid abnormalities.

In two previous studies, Dr. Santulli and his team found that COVID-19 raised the incidence of new cases of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. "In those analyses, we demonstrated that the risk of developing these disorders was still high three years after the pandemic; moreover, we noticed a suspicious increase in total cholesterol levels, which warranted a closer look," said Dr. Santulli. In the new study, the researchers first determined the incidence of dyslipidemia in a group of more than 200,000 adults living in Naples, Italy during the three years prior to start of the pandemic (2017-2019). They then assessed the incidence of dyslipidemia in the same group during the three-year COVID-19 period (2020-2022), excluding from the analysis those people earlier diagnosed with dyslipidemia or who had previously been taking lipid-lowering medications.

The investigators found that COVID-19 raised the risk for developing dyslipidemia in the entire study group by an average of 29%. The increase was even higher among people over age 65 and those with chronic conditions, particularly diabetes and obesity, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hypertension. The findings are the most definitive to date because other studies—most of them linking COVID-19 with modestly increased risks for blood-lipid problems—used as control groups different populations or people thought to have gone through the pandemic without becoming infected. However, significant numbers of people classified as "COVID-free" actually developed the disease but were either never tested or didn't seek medical care.

"Our study did not attempt to determine whether participants had tested positive for COVID-19," Dr. Santulli said. "Instead, because we had been following this group for many years prior to the pandemic, we were able to measure COVID's overall impact on the population by simply comparing levels of dyslipidemia in the same group before and after the pandemic. Any increase in dyslipidemia incidence would almost certainly have to be the result of COVID-19."

How COVID-19 might have increased the incidence of dyslipidemia remains unclear. One possible explanation is a finding Dr. Santulli made in an earlier study: that SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID) disrupts the function of endothelial cells, which line the inside of blood vessels throughout the body and play a critical role in regulating blood lipids.

A separate study found that COVID-19 is a powerful risk factor for heart attacks and strokes for as long as nearly three years after an infection. "This investigation, published online a month after ours, essentially confirms our observations in this study, since dyslipidemia is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Santulli. "It also suggests that tackling dyslipidemia should reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in those who have had COVID."

The researchers are now studying the effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a recently described condition involving four connected medical problems—heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and obesity—all of which involve endothelial dysfunction.

The study is titled "A six-year study in a real-world population reveals an increased incidence of dyslipidemia during COVID-19". The other contributors include: Stanislovas S. Jankauskas, Ph.D., and Fahimeh Varzideh, Ph.D., both at Einstein, Pasquale Mone, M.D., Ph.D., at Einstein and Molise University, Campobasso, Italy, Valentina Trimarco, Raffaele Izzo, Maria Virginia Manzi, Maria Lembo, Paola Gallo, Giovanni Esposito, and Francesco Rozza, at the Federico II University of Naples, Italy, Roberto Piccinocchi, at the Vanvitelli Hospital, Naples, Italy, Carmine Morisco and Bruno Trimarco, at the International Translational Research and Medical Education (ITME) Consortium and Federico II University of Naples, Gaetano Piccinocchi, at the Italian Society of General Medicine, Mario Fordellone and Giuseppe Signoriello, at the Campania University, Naples, Italy.

Over 500,000 Americans die annually from coronary artery disease, fueling a medical industry often driven by financial incentives and systemic flaws rather than patient well-being, as highlighted in Dr. Charles T. McGee's book "Heart Frauds."

The cholesterol theory, a cornerstone of heart disease prevention for decades, lacks solid scientific evidence. Cholesterol-lowering drugs, like statins, have not been proven to reduce overall mortality and may even increase risks, yet they remain widely prescribed.

Emergency care saves lives, but subsequent treatments like bypass surgeries and angioplasties are often unnecessary. Studies, including one by Harvard cardiologists, found over 80 percent of recommended procedures unjustified, driven by inaccurate diagnostic tools like angiograms.

The medical-pharmaceutical-industrial complex prioritizes costly treatments over simpler, safer alternatives like Vitamin E or lifestyle changes. Surgeons and hospitals profit from invasive procedures, often at the expense of patient well-being.

Coronary artery disease can be reversed without drugs or surgery through lifestyle-based treatments like the Pritikin Program and Dean Ornish's methods, emphasizing diet, exercise and stress reduction. Patient empowerment and informed decision-making are key to challenging the status quo.

Heyy, I have a question about cholesterol, I'm relatively young (20) and I suffer from high cholesterol (it's genetic) and I was just wondering how can I lower it without taking pills, like I've tried walking everyday and having a healthy diet yet it doesn't seem to lower it much

Hi, my love! That’s a great question, and I totally get why you want to manage your cholesterol without relying on medication, especially at such a young age. Since your high cholesterol is genetic, it means your body is naturally predisposed to producing more of it, which can make lifestyle changes alone less effective. That being said, there are still things you can do to help manage it as much as possible.

First, focusing on the quality of fats in your diet can make a difference. Cutting back on saturated fats (found in red meat, butter, and full-fat dairy) and replacing them with healthy fats from sources like olive oil, avocados, and fatty fish can help. Increasing your intake of soluble fiber like that found in oats, beans, lentils, and fruits such as apples can also help reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by preventing your body from absorbing as much of it.

Regular physical activity is great, and it sounds like you’re already on top of that! If you want to step it up a bit, higher-intensity workouts or resistance training a few times a week might have a greater impact on raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol, which helps counteract the effects of high LDL.

Since your high cholesterol is genetic, though, there’s a limit to how much lifestyle changes alone can do. Some people with familial hypercholesterolemia or other genetic conditions affecting cholesterol metabolism end up needing medication even with a perfect diet and exercise routine. If your cholesterol levels are still high despite all your efforts, it might be worth talking to a doctor about whether medication is necessary to prevent long-term issues like heart disease.

I know it can be frustrating when it feels like you’re doing everything right and not seeing the results you want, but you’re already taking important steps to protect your health. I hope this helps a little!

The kingdom of Fungal Life 

When we think about the natural world, our minds often gravitate towards lush forests, vibrant flowers, and majestic animals. However, lurking beneath the surface and often hidden from plain sight is a kingdom of life that is as essential as it is mysterious: fungi. These remarkable organisms play a crucial role in the ecosystem, contributing to processes that sustain life on Earth. Let’s delve into the captivating world of fungi and explore their diverse and critical roles in nature.

Fungi belong to their own kingdom, separate from plants, animals, and bacteria. This diverse group includes yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. Unlike plants, fungi do not perform photosynthesis; instead, they obtain nutrients through absorption. They secrete enzymes that break down complex organic matter into simpler compounds, which they then absorb. This mode of nutrition classifies them as saprophytes (decomposers), parasites, or mutualists.

One of the most vital roles fungi play in nature is that of decomposers. They break down dead organic material, such as fallen leaves, dead trees, and animal carcasses. This decomposition process is crucial for nutrient cycling, as it releases essential elements like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus back into the soil, making them available for plants and other organisms. Without fungi, these nutrients would remain locked in dead matter, disrupting the balance of ecosystems.

Many fungi form symbiotic relationships with plants through structures known as mycorrhizae. These fungi colonize plant roots, extending far into the soil and increasing the surface area for water and nutrient absorption. In return, the fungi receive carbohydrates produced by the plant through photosynthesis. This mutualistic relationship enhances plant growth, resilience to stress, and nutrient uptake, illustrating a remarkable example of cooperation in nature.

While many fungi play beneficial roles, some can be pathogenic, causing diseases in plants, animals, and humans. For instance, the fungus Ophiocordyceps infects ants and other insects, eventually controlling their behavior to facilitate spore dispersal. In plants, fungi can cause devastating diseases like rusts, smuts, and blights, affecting crops and natural vegetation. Understanding these pathogenic interactions is crucial for managing agricultural health and preserving natural ecosystems.

Beyond their ecological roles, fungi have significant applications in medicine and biotechnology. The discovery of penicillin, derived from the mold Penicillium, revolutionized medicine by providing the first effective antibiotic. Fungi also produce other medically important compounds, such as immunosuppressants and cholesterol-lowering drugs. In biotechnology, fungi are used in processes ranging from fermentation in food production to the breakdown of pollutants in bioremediation.

Fungi exhibit a stunning variety of forms and colors, particularly noticeable in mushrooms and molds. From the luminescent glow of bioluminescent fungi to the intricate patterns of mushroom caps, fungi contribute to the aesthetic diversity of nature. Some fungi even exhibit bizarre and fascinating behaviors, such as the slime molds that can navigate mazes or the cordyceps fungi that create “zombie” insects.

Trenbolone Enanthate Side Effects on the Liver

Trenbolone Enanthate is a potent anabolic steroid frequently used by bodybuilders and athletes to enhance muscle growth and improve performance. However, its benefits extend beyond muscle building—it's also effective for fat loss. This blog will explore how to use Trenbolone Enanthate for fat loss, including dosage recommendations, cycle guidelines, and safety considerations.

Understanding Trenbolone Enanthate

Trenbolone Enanthate is a long-acting ester of the anabolic steroid trenbolone. Known for its powerful fat-burning properties, it accelerates metabolism and enhances the body’s ability to burn fat while preserving lean muscle mass. Unlike other steroids, Trenbolone Enanthate does not convert to estrogen, reducing the risk of estrogen-related side effects such as water retention.

Benefits of Trenbolone Enanthate for Fat Loss

Increased Metabolic Rate Trenbolone Enanthate boosts the metabolic rate, leading to more efficient fat burning. This helps reduce body fat percentage while maintaining or even increasing muscle mass.

Enhanced Muscle Preservation While it facilitates fat loss, Trenbolone Enanthate also protects lean muscle mass. This is particularly beneficial during cutting phases, where the primary goal is to reduce body fat without sacrificing muscle.

Improved Nutrient Partitioning This steroid enhances nutrient utilization, ensuring that calories are directed towards muscle growth and repair rather than fat storage. This makes it easier to achieve a leaner physique.

Recommended Dosage and Cycle Length

For effective fat loss, Trenbolone Enanthate is typically used in cycles of 8 to 12 weeks. Here’s a general guideline for dosage:

Beginners: Start with 200 to 300 mg per week. This lower dosage helps assess tolerance and effectiveness while minimizing potential side effects.

Intermediate Users: Dosages of 300 to 400 mg per week are common among those with prior experience. This range often provides a balance between effective fat loss and manageable side effects.

Trenbolone Enanthate has a long half-life, so it is typically administered once or twice a week. Consistent dosing helps maintain stable blood levels and ensures optimal results.

Stacking Trenbolone Enanthate

Many users stack Trenbolone Enanthate with other steroids to enhance fat loss and muscle definition. Common combinations include:

Trenbolone Enanthate and Testosterone Enanthate: This stack maintains stable testosterone levels while benefiting from Trenbolone’s fat-burning effects.

Trenbolone Enanthate and Masteron: Masteron is another steroid known for its fat-burning properties. Combined with Trenbolone Enanthate, it can result in a more defined and lean physique.

Trenbolone Enanthate and Anavar: Anavar, an oral steroid, complements Trenbolone Enanthate by further enhancing fat loss and preserving lean muscle.

Managing Side Effects

While Trenbolone Enanthate is effective for fat loss, it can come with side effects. Here’s how to manage them:

Cardiovascular Health: Trenbolone Enanthate may affect cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Regular cardiovascular exercise and a heart-healthy diet can mitigate these risks. Monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol levels is essential.

Hormonal Imbalances: Trenbolone Enanthate suppresses natural testosterone production. Post-cycle therapy (PCT) with medications like Clomid or Nolvadex is crucial for restoring natural testosterone levels after a cycle.

Androgenic Effects: Users may experience acne, oily skin, or hair loss. Managing dosages and maintaining proper skincare can help reduce these effects.

Note:

Trenbolone Enanthate is a powerful tool for fat loss, offering significant benefits such as increased metabolism, muscle preservation, and improved nutrient partitioning. To use it effectively, adhere to recommended dosages, follow a structured cycle, and be vigilant about managing potential side effects. Combining Trenbolone Enanthate with a healthy diet and regular exercise will enhance fat loss results and help you achieve a lean, muscular physique.

As someone with PCOS (which heavily involves insulin issues) the elevated liver numbers are likely caused by insulin issues! I get my blood checked and consistently find my cholesterol is somewhat out of whack due to insulin resistance but even on meds my A1c is just within normal. There are a lot of strategies for lowering insulin spikes from meals that are low effort (like refrigerating or freezing carb sources to make starches resistant). There're also supplements that act like some medicines but thankfully metformin seems to be one of the cheapest medicines we make (after checking GoodRX, Walmart charges $4 without insurance for a months supply) and as long as your stomach isn't too upset by it, it's very effective

Metformin is NOT a kind drug, unfortunately, and I'm already on several unkind drugs. With my liver disease, I have to be extremely careful about what I take.

I do also have PCOS on top of my diabetes, which could be a contributing factor to my high blood sugar. Two of my necessary meds can also cause high blood sugar.

Due to how many issues I have, though, it's a real puzzle trying to manage my health. PCOS, diabetes, psoriatic arthritis, gastrointestinal issues, and then my liver disease is the cherry on top. All of them require different medications to manage, and some of those meds interfere with others, and some have side effects that can harm my liver or raise my blood sugar, and--

The golden key to health, wellness and longevity is the great Lymphatic system, which includes the interstitial spaces surrounding your cells.

Simply put, your body is a bunch of cells and two fluids: Blood and Lymph.

Cells make up your organs, glands, tissues, bones, etc. We are made up of trillions of cells. Some are so small that you can hardly see them. Others are as much as a foot long!

The spaces around and between your cells are called interstitial spaces. These spaces are full of fluids, predominately Lymphatic fluid with a little Blood.

You have an incredible amount of interstitial fluid. Think about it. It’s the fluid that connects every single cell in your body!

Think of the Blood as a nutritional delivery system to your cells, and the Lymph is the sewer system for waste extraction. Simply put: the Blood feeds the cells and the Lymph cleans the cells.

Interstitial fluid is largely Lymphatic fluid.

When you pop a pimple, what do you see? 3/4 Lymph fluid and 1/4 Blood. It is the same throughout the inside of your body. Your Lymphatic fluid is nearly 3/4 of the fluid inside your body.

This major system is nearly three times larger than the Blood. And yet...very little is actually known or understood about the body's Lymphatic system. Now, why do you think that is?

Not one course on Lymphology is being taught in any university, medical school or any other college in the US.

Even though the Lymphatic vessels are more extensive than the blood vessels and there is more Lymph than blood in the body, for every 200 pages in all the medical textbooks of anatomy, pathology and physiology, there is less than one page dedicated to share information about the Lymphatic system.

Why is it that doctors are not taught the Lymphatic system? It is the system where 99% of all disease originates. Why are they taught to look to the blood for answers?

Why is it that you can be full of pain and inflammation, have tumours all over your body, and have perfect Blood work?

This neglected area of research lays the scientific foundation of all the healing arts and reveals why it is possible for people to heal themselves without drugs, surgery, or medication of any kind.

Lymphatic fluid is a lipid-based fluid. When this fluid becomes stagnant, it dries up. Your interstitial spaces become dried. Your skin starts to dry. You may begin to experience dry mouth, dry eyes or start to cry acid (burning) tears. You're in trouble when acids start backing up and building up inside your body from a lack of kidney filtration.

An Acidic/mucus-forming diet of meat, eggs, dairy, starches, grains, refined sugars and processed foods will dehydrate and thicken Lymphatic fluid, turning it hard and compact.

Environmental toxins from drinking water, household cleaning products, personal hygiene products, paint, dust, etc., etc., can all negatively impact the health of your interstitial fluids.

Negative emotions and thoughts also create Acidic hormones which are further detrimental to this system!!

Interstitial fluid should be somewhere around 7pH. This keeps it fluid and moving.

But, when there’s too many Acidic foods in your diet the pH lowers as the fluid hardens. Minor changes in pH are enough to harden this fluid.

What do you think happens to your cells when they are encased in thickened, hardened fluid and mucus? Nutrition can’t get in and waste can’t get out. ("deficiencies" anyone?)

Cellular metabolic waste is around 3.5 ph. When this Acid medium becomes trapped in the interstitial spaces it deteriorates the cell until the cell loses function. Acids burn, deteriorate and break things down. There are no two ways about it!

What does this mean? It means that if you’re experiencing any type of health challenge or breakdown of cellular structure and function, your interstitial fluid is too

Acidic and has hardened. Water won't hydrate the cells interstitially. Lymph is a lipid (oily, cholesterol based) fluid. You need the fatty acids and astringency of fruits to break up hardened lymph.

You’ll feel this effect as pain and inflammation in the body, until the breakdown of cells sets in. That’s when you get medical diagnosis of organ and gland failure or worse...abnormal cells.

It can take decades for the accumulation of waste to damage cellular structure to a point where you feel it. In reverse, it can take several years of dedication to clean your body and regenerate healthy cells.

Note: We all inherit a compromised Lymphatic system at birth, and to what degree explains quite a bit when comes to childhood "disease."

How long it takes to clean out the terrain depends on a number of factors:

1.) how long you have been misfeeding the body inappropriate foods,

2.) how dehydrated your body is (lymphatically dehydrated and congested),

3.) how quickly you transition,

4.) how much nerve energy you have available to clean once you correct the diet,

5.) how much time you can dedicate to resting and sleep. Getting adequate sleep and moderate exercise can help to speed the cleaning process as can intermittent fasting, juice feasting and eating more water-rich fruits.

An Alkaline-forming diet full of living foods such as fruits, berries, melons, greens and vegetables in their natural state will rehydrate and cleanse the interstitial fluid keeping it fluid in its consistency.

All our cells need to be serviced on site with feeding and cleaning. Our diet supplies the chemistry and physics to do both when our primary food source includes ripe and organic (pesticide-free) fruits, berries and melons.

Regenerative Detoxification unlocks the doors and eliminates obstructions to health so that you can look and feel your best and most vital self.

What you eat, what you drink, what you put on your skin, what you think and feel determines the status of your health. If you’re unhappy with your health, then change these things.

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a prevalent but severe medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It’s called a “silent killer” because it usually has no noticeable symptoms, but it poses a significant risk for heart disease and stroke, which are among the top causes of death. Understanding and managing high blood pressure is crucial for maintaining long-term health and preventing these severe complications.

Understanding High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force exerted by the flow of blood on the walls of blood vessels. Having elevated blood pressure over an extended period can harm the blood vessels and place extra stress on the heart. Typically, a blood pressure measurement of 140/90 mmHg or greater is categorized as high.

Causes and Risk Factors

High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can be caused by various factors. The most common type, primary hypertension, develops gradually over many years without any specific identifiable cause. On the other hand, secondary hypertension, which is less common, is caused by an underlying condition like kidney disease or certain medications and tends to appear suddenly. Factors that increase the risk of hypertension comprise a family history of the condition, advancing age, obesity, insufficient physical activity, smoking, excessive salt consumption, and heavy alcohol intake. It is important to manage these risk factors to prevent and control high blood pressure.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Most people with high blood pressure do not exhibit symptoms, even when blood pressure reaches dangerously high levels. Regular blood pressure checks can help in early detection since headaches, shortness of breath, or nosebleeds may not occur until high blood pressure reaches a severe stage.

Managing High Blood Pressure

Management of high blood pressure typically involves lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medication. Lifestyle modifications are the first line of defense and include:

Dietary Changes: Embracing a dietary pattern characterized by reduced sodium, saturated fats, and cholesterol intake, along with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can notably lower blood pressure.

Regular Physical Activity: Engaging in 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week is a commitment that can enhance heart health and lower blood pressure.

Weight Management: Losing weight can effectively reduce blood pressure if you are overweight.

Limiting Alcohol and Quitting Smoking: Reducing alcohol intake and quitting smoking can improve heart health and lower blood pressure.

Stress Management: Chronic stress may lead to hypertension; thus, practicing techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can be helpful.

In some cases, lifestyle changes alone are not enough, and medications are prescribed to lower blood pressure. It’s important to take these medications as directed and regularly consult with a healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments.

High blood pressure is a manageable condition, but it requires awareness, lifestyle changes, and possibly medication. Regular blood pressure monitoring is very useful for early detection and management to significantly reduce the risk of hypertension-related complications such as heart disease and stroke.
