As a health care professional, I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve one's health.While reading a book review, the reviewer as an aside, cited a book "The Blood Thinner Cure" written by Dr Kenneth Kensey, a Cardiologist. I had never heard of it, and there weren't any reviews in Amazon. I ordered the book and frankly I was skeptical and was prepared to be disappointed. When the book arrived there were concepts that were new to me.Blood does not flow it pulsates. If cholesterol causes plaque in the arteries, why isn't plaque found in the arms, and the kicker was that heart disease and stroke are caused by an increase in blood viscosity.
How can I prove that thicker blood is harmful? I can't, but my blood pressure was somewhat high, and so I started the 7 Step Plan in this book. 3 months later, my systolic blood pressure was 20 points lower. I was impressed because previously I had tried some "natural" approaches to try and lower blood pressure. These included supplementation, biofeedback training, and a self hypnosis workshop. The only lasting effective approach for me was the lessons learned from this book. 6 months later, the blood pressure remains good.
The book is out of print, so I purchased multiple copies, as
gifts, and I kept 2 copies as loaners. I gave a copy to a friend who is an MD with 40 years in family practice. I asked him to punch holes in these concepts if he could.When he finished the book he said that the only thing that he found fault with, was the use of aspirin. He felt it should be prescribed by a doctor. He couldn't find fault with anything else.
I had some concerns of my own. The author recommended drinking 10-12 glasses of water each day. That may be the ideal, but the reality is, that's a lot of water. Most everyone grew up being told that we should drink 8 glasses of water each day. Drinking 8 or 10-12 glasses of water each day, the water soluble vitamins, B & C may be depleted. These however are easily supplemented.
Dr. Kensey, thank you for the benefits I continue to receive each day.
