You should follow your routine without any change. Since you have given up salt totally, it is the best treatment for high blood pressure. But, as mentioned earlier, you cannot totally give up medicines from day one. Continue all your medicines, get your blood pressure tested every four days and reduce just one tablet, if your blood pressure is 120/80 or a little less than that while resting. There is a possibility that your blood pressure may shoot up the next day. Since you have given up one tablet, it is no problem. Continue and get tested once again. If it is still 120/80 or less, once again, you give up another tablet per day. If you slowly decrease your intake of tablets, ultimately you will reach a day where you can put an end to them. But if your blood pressure is 150/90 or higher initially, don’t give up medicines immediately. Follow the above procedure gradually.
If an allopathy doctor learns that you have given up salt totally, he will become alarmed. He will scare you that it is harmful. But if you yield to him, you can never be cured of your blood pressure, can never avoid medicine, and can never save your money for use on better things. Year by year the number of your blood pressure medicines will increase and, proportionately, your body will be affected. Doctors should first try a salt free diet for themselves and realize its impact. But the tragedy is they don’t give up salt and they don’t allow us to do so either.
We are told that the normal blood pressure is 120/80, but it is wrong. You may think I am a madman for saying so, but the fact is we have been consuming too much salt since childhood. As a result, we are becoming blood pressure patients even in youth. You may be surprised at this, and you may be hearing this for the first time, but this is the harsh reality: the normal blood pressure for a healthy man is 100/70. If anyone’s blood pressure is higher than that, he is a blood pressure patient. Since every human being consumes salt, 120/80 or 110/70 has become a normally accepted blood pressure.
Even I believed that normal blood pressure is 120/80. Until five years ago, I also had the same reading. After I stopped salt completely, I got a check up after five months. It had come down to 100/70. I was concerned that this was, in fact, a low blood pressure. But after several months there was no change in my blood pressure, and I was more energetic and healthier than when I had 120/80. I wondered if this feature was peculiar to me or if it was common with everyone following my type of diet. So, I examined all my patients with a salt-free diet. It was the same for everyone. You know what? It is not beyond 110/70 or 100/70 for any age group – 25, 40, 60, even 80 year old people. The same blood pressure is maintained for all those who have not been consuming salt for ages. So it is a wrong notion to think that blood pressure increases with age.
Now it has been proved by our natural lifestyle that blood pressure increase due to age is not correct; it increases because the salt we eat hardens the blood vessels.
If we stop the intake of salt, the body retains only the amount required to assist the heart function in a healthy body. The normal pressure is 100/70, which means that the heart is able to supply blood all over the body with little pressure on itself. If we have a low blood pressure like this, our hearts can last 150 years. Except for kidney patients, most people who follow our natural lifestyle are cured 100% of blood pressure. When you read the chapter “Experiences and Feelings,” you can see for yourself. If you resume eating salt, within ten days your blood pressure will increase. My sincere advice is, if you want to eat salt, better you buy medicines too.
