Insults the Publics Intelligence
This book is outdated, not worth buying. I sent it back, when I realized that this book is based on old medical beliefs. It professes to be a book about "prevention" and instead it is all about Drugs, medicine. There is no "prevention" here. I believe there is only 1-2 lines about diet. I think two guys, who happen to be MD's thought they could write a book to promote the Medical Treatment Model of High Blood Pressure. Get real! Like the cover, this book, and its paradigm of treatment,are in the 1950's, very outdated. Don't waste your time ordering this book, as I did.. or you will have to pay the cost to ship it back! Dr.P.

Product Description
It's hard to believe you're dying when you feel fit and fine...but millions of Americans are harboring unaware a condition that can rob them or kill them outright--hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, the most common form of heart disease. Even when hypertension is diagnosed, treatment is usually based on drugs, most with dismal side effects, expensive, and of limited usefulness.

Really effective treatment of hypertension calls for getting at the cause--which, Dr. Eric Braverman has found, often relates to poor diet, elevated cholesterol, excess weight, stress, and biochemical imbalances. With Dr. Braverman's 30- to 90-day program, patients have lowered their blood pressure and, in some case, even reversed the course of existing heart disease.

Based on extensive research and long clinical experience, Dr. Braverman's program can open the way to the longer and better-enjoyed life that high blood pressure and heart disease are silently waiting to steal from us. ... Read more

Great Book
As someone who has suffered from hypertension since I was 26 years old, had an adrenalectomy to correct a potassium imbalance that did not correct my hypertension, I am a believer that there must be natural ways to cure disease.This book repeated some of the other schools of though about curing hypertension naturally, but also shared Dr. Braverman's natural supplementation that he uses at his clinic.I took this book to my Internist who is familiar with my struggle to control my hypertension, and I asked her to read the book and come up with a supplementation protocol for me.My doctor reported that she enjoyed the book as it had reminded her of some of the nutrition themes she had learned in medical school.We worked together on a supplementation for my treatment of hypertension.I wish I could afford to go to Dr. Braverman's clinic in New York, but until then I will follow the guidelines on eating, exercise and natural supplementation in this book.I have not yet weaned myself off of hypertension medication, but I have been able to resist adding more medication, which does not make me better, but only more dependent on chemicals to cure disease.

Great advice for heart disease
This is a very good book on how to take care of your heart. Natural way to help improve your heart. Easy to read, lots of good advice. Recomend

Highly recommend this for everyone
This book gives so much information that is easy to understand and easy to put to use in your life. Even if someone doesn't have heart disease this would still be a healthy way to eat and live your life. The recipes are very tasty and easy to make. Drugs certainly are not the only answer in reducing cholesterol or high blood pressure. This book has helped us in just the first month of using it.

interesting!
This is an interesting book, and hard to believe.

It could use more case histories.Surely, they are available. Also, the case histories included do not seem to follow the supplement program recommended. The reasons for such deviations, when not obvious, could be detailed.

Why Drugs are Not the Answer to Heart Disease
What a wonderful idea Dr. Braverman promises - "REVERSE HEART DISEASE, Naturally" with his "30- to 90-Day No-More hypertension and Heart Disease Program" in 198 pages. Who is Eric Braverman? As founder and Director of PATH Medical (the Place for achieving Total Health) in New York City he's "considered one of America's most innovative physicians" according to his publisher Basic Health.

Updating his 1996 research by adding daughter Dasha Braverman's RAINBOW DIET (choosing the right fresh colorful fruits and vegetables) the results to be expected are a "Drug-free, robust life" in one year.

So you ask - How can you do it? Well, Braverman says you can:

Lower blood pressure to 120/80 - 135/85.
Triglycerides and cholesterol to below 200 and increase HDL to above 50.
Discontinue all beta-and alpha blockers, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors.

Just replace with his Special Formula's number 1 to 14.

Then, Reduce Stress with Cranial Electric Stimulation (CES) by sending gentle electrical signals to the vagus nerve in your brain with his RELAX-MATE, a TENS - a transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation unit, for 15-60 minutes a day to release GABA and acetylcholine in your brain because it's biofeedback like training for self control and peace of mind.

All that can help you to "break addictive food habits and destructive behaviors". Dr. Braverman defines depression "as anger turned inward" and suggests emotions "contribute to blockages in the large vessels supplying blood to the brain." New science that`s easy to follow and easy to use.

With this book anyone ought to be able to "Reverse Heart Disease -Naturally!"

Product Description
Intracranial hypertension (ICH) is the most common cause of clinical deterioration and death for neurological and neurosurgical patients. There are a lot of causes of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and increased ICP can produce intracranial hypertension syndromes. Monitoring of intracranial pressure and advances in investigations of the central nervous system have led to new concepts and systemisations in intracranial hypertension. The descriptive classification of the intracranial hypertension has been replaced by an etio-pathogenic classification with four main groups. Parenchymatous Intracranial Hypertension, in the extending intracranial processes (cerebral tumours, intracranial haematoma, cerebral abscesses, etc.), in traumatic brain edema, in hypotoxic brain edema, in general intoxications with neurotoxins (endogenous or exogenous), etc. Vascular Intracranial Hypertension is caused by the disorders of cerebral blood circulation and then the brain edema or / and brain swelling appears.The vascular intracranial hypertension occurs in: vascular cerebral diseases - cerebral venous thrombosis or in cerebral ischaemic stroke and in - extracerebral vascular diseases as hypertensive encephalopathies. Intracranial Hypertension is caused by the Disorders of the CSF dynamics ( hydrocephalus etc). Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. The treatment of intracranial hypertension depends on the type of intracranial hypertension and on the stage of the illness. ... Read more

Product Description
The aim is to produce a really practical manual that gives clearly presented guidelines to the ordinary practitioner about what to do in given circumstances. It will be a "bench book" on hypertension, in which its various aspects are dealt with from a clinical perspective, and where the text is constructed, laid out, and illustrated, in such a way as to make the work of maximum utility and readability to the practitioner. What is planned will be very different from a conventional multi-author reference book. Where the existing works are to a large extent collections of essays of varying style and structure, this book will be built to a plan, and a firm commitment made to ensure that each chapter, and each page, conforms to a pre-agreed structure that helps the reader extract information with the minimum of effort. Careful attention will be paid to page design and to the use of graphical devices to optimise presentation and facilitate "navigation" - the book will be easy to refer to and learn from. ...
