Dr says very high blood pressure and neuropathy pain

Posted By Diane (Sherborn, MA) on 05/22/2014

My blood pressure today is 175/99...The doctor tells me that it's from the pain I am having from my neuropathy...I also have hep c. Of course I'm not going on BP meds but would like some suggestions. I have just started taking DL-Phenylalanine for pain and L-Citrulline for nitric oxide enhancer...Is there some other suggestions out there? I will also start on ACV as well. Thank you

To Diane from Sherborn,

Re: High Blood Pressure...

Also to the list start adding slowly Vitamin E (Natural and NOT synthetic). Start with 200 IUs every other day...in a few weeks go to 200 every day; then in a month add another 200 to get to 400 IUs daily. Take the E away from other mineral supplements. (Receptor competition issue.) The E will make the veins and arteries more pliable and allow for better flow of blood. Also E will make platelets slick so less plaque will build up. Also consider oral EDTA (three tabs daily) to break away existing plaque. One reason for high BP is that the arteries are hardening with plaque so like a hose might have internal debris build up, then the flow of water would be increased while if the debris is removed the flow would be less pressured. Same idea with veins and arteries. Also a good E intake will reduce likelihood of other circulation issues...edema in legs; varicose veins etc. E is also a great oxygenator. If you are taking aspirin, you can stop after you are on the E since E will thin the blood internally yet helps clotting after coming in contact with the air at a bleed site.

HI Bill, You've given me some valuable information in the past and I am forever thankful. My question is I have hep-c and neuropathy and my blood pressure has recently gone up to 180/105. I never registered high blod pressure before and am familiar with most all of the protocols in EC. My PCP says my HBP is from the pain in my neuropathy. I am not in constant pain but I do have frequent stabbing pains etc. I was told about a month ago by a health professional to take Kefir with the fat in it and have all the Ghee butter I want as it will coat my myelin sheath and get rid of my neuropathy. I have been drinking 8 ounces of Kefir in the morning(with the fat in it) and have about 3 tablespoons of Ghee a day..What's your opinion of having this much Ghee and Kefir per day with the fat in it...I am stopping both tomorrow to see and will report back to this site my findings. But I just wanted to get your opinion as I respect your feedback much more than my various doctors...

BTW , today my neurologist suggested that I go on Lyrica. Then I told her that the company just recently settled a 2.3 billion dollar class action law suit. She replied "Well I guess it's go to do with what you're taking it for." I replied, "Well I guess it just may have been just taking it that caused the issues." Readers please beware of what your dr will prescribe to you. Thank you very much Bill. Looking forward to your insight.

I have just had a simpler experience except I did end up in hospital having a small heart attack. My blood pressure was 210/110, had all the cardiac tests done and no reason why..all tests clear. I also have perphial neuropathy and did mention that but hospital wasn't interested, so I'm interested Diane as to how you are now coping...

Thanks
