More About the Author
Product Description
Review
Suzanne M. Schweikert, M.D. author of " The Pregnant Traveler" A refreshingly commonsense approach to this deadly disease.
Product Description
Hypertension is known as the silent disease because it often gives no warning signs or symptoms. Dr Rowan draws on medical findings to help you prevent high blood pressure, cope if it occurs and lower blood pressure through sensible natural means. He explains how to work with your doctor in developing a programme that suits your personality, age, physiology, weight and personal habits. Learn about: tests that indicate the presence of high blood pressure in the absence of symptoms; alternative techniques, from acupuncture to biofeedback to aromatherapy, that can relieve stress and lower blood pressure; natural hypertensive therapies, exercises and foods; perscriptions and other drugs which can affect blood pressure; and diet, including a month of helthy menus and dozens of quick-and-easy recipes.

Leaves out any discussion of Angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs)
13 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback
Angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) have proven to have side effects down around the placebo level for most people. This book does not even mention them even though the first, Losartan, came out in 1995 and is now available as a generic.
Don't trust me. Do your own research but just be aware this book does not even mention this important class of drugs in chapter 31. The book had a second printing in 2001 so no excuse for this.
That said, I learned much that was valuable from reading the book. For example, it pointed out that exercise involving several large muscle groups raises BP only slightly. It also pointed out that vigorous exercise and certain drugs may not play well together, e.g, Beta blockers and diuretics.
You just have to read widely to get complete information no matter what the subject.
