Product Description:
'The book is exceptional in its clarity and depth. I would recommend it to anyone with a tendency to hypertension.'
—Charles Keenan Jr., M.D., Associate Professor of Family Practice, UCLA

'Hypertension is an important member of the quartet of risk factors for cardiovascular disease--the other three are elevated cholesterol levels, diabetes, and cigarette smoking. Robert Kowalski endeavors to bring all these risk factors under control without resorting to medications. This book presents simple answers to the questions that arise when people take charge of their own health in partnership with their physician.'
—Calvin Ezrin, M.D., author of Your Fat Can Make You Thin

'The Blood Pressure Cure offers a comprehensive, nutritionally sound, and easily accessible guide to lowering one's blood pressure safely and effectively.'
—Kristen Caron, M.A., M.F.T., author of The Everyday Meal Planner for Type 2 Diabetes

'Robert Kowalski is now doing for blood pressure what he did for cholesterol in his previous books--he is revolutionizing the way we think about the non-pharmaceutical treatment of this important risk factor for heart disease. This well-written, concise book is a must-read for every person suffering from or treating high blood pressure.'
—Paul Dougherty, M.D., Professor of Medicine, UCLA

Robert Kowalski, the bestselling author of The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure, presents a clinically proven program that draws on the very latest research on high blood pressure causes, development, and treatment. With the most up-to-date information on herbs, supplements, diet, physical activity, and more, this commonsense, easy-to-follow program can help you lower your blood pressure so that you can decrease your risk of heart attack and stroke—and increase your chances of living a long and healthy life.

- Get this book!
If you are having any sort of blood pressure problems at all, or even if you don't, get this book. My own pressure has gone from around 149/99 to 123/72 in just a few weeks. Great information for blood pressure control and just good health in general.

- Heart health
I found this to be an informative book on how to live with heart disease but unfortunately the author recently died. That fact tends to cause some hesitation in following his precepts.

- It works!!!
Even being a person that exercises 6 days a week, having low fat in my body and eating healthy food I had my blood pressure around 130/70 easily going to 140 if I ate something with too much sodium, like Japanese food. After reading a few books I reduced the salt and increased the potassium. After a few months with this new diet my blood pressure dropped to 120/125. However, it couldn't drop more! Then I read this book and start taking the suplements the author mentioned, the four all of them. Now, after about a month my blood pressure is constantly about 115/60. Amazing!!!

- Sound Non-Prescription Steps for Battling Hypertension
The book is intriguing, in that it is written by a medical journalist, not a physician. You even wonder how he ever found a publisher to publish the book. Nevertheless, with that qualifier up front and the predominance of "anecdotal" evidence, author Robert Kowalski offers a common sense approach to lowering your blood pressure. This is a combination of exercise/activity, stress reduction, diet and various diet supplements. He does not come off as dogmatic or as a zealot. One is tempted to say that these measures may be like chicken soup - "they can't hurt but might help."

The larger message that has merit is that patients should take responsibility for their own health and blood pressure, that there is a lot in the way of lifestyle that we can do short of getting on prescription drugs to manage and lower our blood pressure. Whether the process takes eight weeks or eighty, that is a good message. ... Read More
