I am a 78 year old physician being treated
for hypertension. I found this book to be quite
useful and informative.Because of the knowledge
gained from this book I was able to suggest drug
treatments to my physician.In addition to the drug treatment,
the author recommmends nutritional choices.
My blood pressure is now very well controlled on a
dietary regime and prescribed medications that cost me
ten cents a day.
well controlled on a product that costs me ten cents a day.

This text explains the issues behind the condition in explicit detail. A very good text to help the average person understand the facts and it contains good recommendations for tackling it.

The book came in very quickly and it was just as promised, new. I loved the book. It gave me many good pointers on keeping blood pressure under control. I have already started working with some of the pointers. It's so good to know that weight plays such a big role in almost every health condition there is, and to know that I can work on this issue first and foremost.

You'll find a lot of good information in this book if you can get past the author's mildly irritating tone. He comes off as sort of a jocular, slightly condescending uncle. Although the book's organization is a little odd, I it fairly easy to navigate to the sections I needed to read. There's good information about both drug and non-drug treatments for high blood pressure, as well as a pretty good explanation of exactly what high blood pressure is and what those numbers mean.

Spelled out in easy to understand terms, explains blood pressure causes, cures, and food to help you lower it. I would reccomend this book. I thought is was a fun read yet very informative. I got a lot out of it.

I have to say I am a huge fan of the for "dummies" books. They are easy to read & understand. Always a safe buy if you ask me.

This book is just ok to read, but some of the information in here goes way beyond the average layman or "dummy".It is somewhat useful and informative but not greatly so.There is nothing wrong with this book, just nothing that great about it.

Book came well within the suggested time and was in perfect condition which was important as it was a gift. Thank you!
