The Blood Pressure Miracle [Hardcover]

Frank Mangano (Author), Steve G. Jones (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 17, 2008

The Blood Pressure Miracle is a unique, all-natural system for lowering your blood pressure that is not based on a single approach such as stress reduction, or herbs or special foods or exercise. It’s actually a combination of methods that have been scientifically proven to work, complied into one comprehensive lifestyle program. You will be surprised at how many options you have: Simple lifestyle changes, inexpensive natural supplements and even regular foods you can buy at your local grocery store have all been proven to improve heart health and reduce blood pressure. When you combine these strategies all together as in The Blood Pressure Miracle, the results are multiplied (and it probably explains why, if you tried a single natural remedy in the past, it did very little or nothing at all).

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Being a family doctor, I ordered the book with some scepticism. On finishing the book, I was amazed at the amount of information it contains for ordinary people. I am recommending the book to all my patients with hypertensive tendencies and to those on treatment. A valuable advice is to discuss some topics with your doctor before stopping or changing any medication. Knowledge is a treasure which no one can take away from you. Thus, I highly recommend this book to non-medicals as today we are more keen on prevention rather than cure." --Dr. Joe Brincat, M.D., M.M.C.F.D.

Review

"Mr. Mangano's book "The Blood Pressure Miracle" is an invaluable book tailored to reduce the major risk known as hypertension. It's a complete lifestyle manual that left no stone unturned, ranging from exercise, food, music, meditation, herbs and supplements. I was impressed by the guidelines mapped out in the book leading to a healthier lifestyle. I'm a licensed pharmacist and I'm aware of and I've seen the undesirable side effects of prescription medications used to control hypertension such as dizziness and fatigue. Therefore, I would always choose a natural, holistic approach to manage high blood pressure. Mr. Mangano's work has been terrific."

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost a worthwhile book, March 16, 2010

By 

Andrew P (Vermont) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Blood Pressure Miracle (Hardcover)

While I don't wish to disparage the author as I admire his effort in helping people to combat hypertension, I wish he had taken the time and effort to make this book worthwhile. I don't think the publisher deserves much credit for providing editorial oversight either.

The background information is good, but nothing really that you don't find on any website. I was hoping that the advice section would be a little better executed. To his credit, the author cites valid scientific studies, but he didn't do enough additional homework to really help anybody make use of the information.

No mention of the DASH diet seemed like a glaring omission to me, as that has been well studied and the benefits proven. There are good free resources on the web that spell it out in detail.

If you are looking for a light read from a journalists perspective and you know very little about hypertension, this book is a fine start. If you are already somewhat informed and are looking for sound medical advice, keep looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the information you would ever need to control your blood pressure, May 10, 2009

This review is from: The Blood Pressure Miracle (Hardcover)

Mr Frank Mangan has put together all the facts about high blood pressure in an easy to understand format. It accurately and completely includes explanations about hypertension, what it is, and how to bring your blood pressure down to normal readings, using a wholistic approach that is far and above any results you can get with drugs and their adverse side effects. Had this knowledge been available to my father and brother, who died from hypertension in their 50s, they could have lived a long and productive life. I am passing it on to my two sons, both of whom suffer from high blood pressure in their 30s. I would recommend that anyone, who is even borderline, insure their healthy long life by putting into practice what is contained in this book.
