High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a lifelong disease requiring continuous treatment. Left untreated, hypertension can lead to kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, loss of vision and other serious complications. Patients with hypertension should recognise the seriousness of this life-threatening disease and take measures to control it. A variety of dietary modifications have been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of hypertension, including salt and alcohol restriction as well as weight reduction. Increasing potassium intake, consuming fish oil supplements and acquiring a vegetarian diet can also lower blood pressure in some patients. Lifestyle changes, such as cessation of smoking and the initiation of an aerobic exercise regimen are also important. Indeed cases of mild hypertension may be sufficiently managed by the introduction of these lifestyle changes. Follow these simple dietary guidelines to make a positive change in your health:

Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood on the blood vessels and the heart. It has two components: systolic pressure (higher count) is the maximum pressure in the arteries when the heart is actively pumping whereas diastolic pressure (lower count) is the minimum pressure when the heart is resting in between beats. Hypertension or high blood pressure (HBP) is defined as a blood pressure consistently exceeding 140/90mmHg when resting. Called the 'silent killer' because it does not always produce symptoms, it is one of the most common ailments that damages many organs. Uncontrolled high blood pressure leads to serious complications like heart attack, stroke, blindness and chronic kidney failure. Who is most at risk of getting HBP?

The incidence of PPH is estimated at 1 to 2 per million in the general population, however the use of the diet drug Fen-Phen has created a dramatic increase in the risk of developing PPH. Fen-Phen is actually a combination of two drugs: Fenfluramine and Phentermine. A substantial body of scientific evidence establishes that the use of some diet drugs dramatically increases the risk of developing PPH. American Home Products Corporation, the manufacturer of Fen-Phen, failed to warn doctors of the increased risk of PPH from the use of its diet pills. As a result, doctors throughout the United States prescribed Fen-Phen or Redux to their patients believing the drugs to be safe. Depending on the specific facts of your case, you may have a legal claim for the costs of treatment and for your pain and suffering.

The blending of these practices gives dramatic relief to body and mind. The atmosphere at the retreat is very warmhearted and supportive. Below you can find descriptions of some of the many health problems that we have addressed. Please contact us directly if you have any questions about a particular symptom and our experience with it. Over the years we have successfully treated hundreds of people with a wide range of symptoms. The retreat has also helped those in good health maintain and upgrade. Come take a healthful vacation and enjoy the wonderful opportunities for recreation, relaxation and good health. Weight Loss - while "fat farms" offer a calorie restricted, healthful diet and an exercise program to help with weight loss, they fail to offer a thorough cleansing program that upgrades health and facilitates additional weight loss. They also fail to make the body/mind connection that allows people to make quantum leaps in health. Our cleansing is more thorough, the nutrition is better quality, and the weight loss is very dramatic. Rather than emphasize "behavior modification," the retreat offers sophisticated nutrition information that allows people to make informed lifestyle choices.
