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.

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.

I ordered this with a little skepticism, but after using some of the information in this book, I can see it making a big difference in my health, and in my life.

Skeptical b/c book did not have any research studies supporting in back, however, Frank does cite studies in the reading. And being a health/fitness professional, I approve the credibility of the content. The table of contents reveals many new and novel ways to reduce blood pressure. I love how he advocates exercise and healthy eating. The newest things or things I knew of, but he provided new insights were quinoa and other herbs. Quinoa is a very healthy grain, being it's the only complete protein grain AND it is gluten-free. It is also rich in B-vitamins, which definitely aid in reducing BP. I do think he missed a few big ones though that should be mentioned as reducing BP significantly. The king to me is watermelon. I've read of watermelon containing lycopene, citrulline malate (precursor to boosting nitric oxide production), 90% water meaning it's a natural diuretic and it is chuck full of potassium and other vitamins. Not to mention, I heard even the seeds have this substance called cucurbocitrin, which has a blood pressure lowering effect. Other than this, the book is fantastic. Very practical and down to earth. I like the natural holistic approach to reducing BP and am glad I bought the book. It will be a great reference to remind myself of the positive natural ways to reduce BP.

Unfortunately, I was familiar with most of the information in the book. I was expecting new and different advice but there was not much there. Still a comprehensive book on the topic.

I read Frank's manuscript before it was published and he asked me to write the foreword for the book. I was very honored to write it, especially after reading his helpful information and knowing how it had changed my life. I suggest The Blood Pressure Miracle to all my clients because it truly is life-changing.

By incorporating changes into my life, changes that Frank points out in the book, my health has improved and I feel younger and more energized. The book is extremely well-written and gives many keen insights on how we can all lower blood pressure and start feeling younger!

Finally, lots of good information that is easy to apply to daily life and get great results. I was very skeptical but have been pleasantly surprised by the helpful info. Worked for me and without drugs.

It is a great book. This book is full of very important information from hypertension doctors at prominent hospitals and universities, but presented in a very easy to understand format. My older sister has high blood pressure and I constantly gather the information on this subject. I know a lot about hypertension, but still found many interesting facts that I was not aware of. After two of my family members prevented painful, devastating surgeries recommended by medical doctors, we always try natural treatment first.
This book is a treasure as far as natural treatment and prevention. It is a must have manual for better health archived naturally without side effects. If you are frustrated with a lengthy, hard to follow and understand, full of difficult medical terminology books, this book is for you.

This book is full of excellent recommendations for lowering blood pressure effectively. The author takes the work out of science for the consumer and presents it in an easy to understand format that makes sense - unlike the thousands of medical studies you'd have to sift through to learn the same things. I personally am distrustful of some doctors and definitely pharmaceutical companies and wanted a way to lower my blood pressure naturally without medication. The Blood Pressure Miracle is the best way I've found to do it! Definitely worth a read - worked for me!

An Excellent Timely Masterpiece will improve the quality of lives and
save others. Well done Frank Mangano
