I have always been over weight, so when I came to Thailand I lost nearly 4 stone. I even gave up smoking for 14 years, no change.
I went back to England and had my BP checked again. Still the same!
I now only drink a few pints of beer about once a week (last 10 months). Had a check up last month. BP still the same???
My Dr is still at a loss. My cholestrol has always been normal?...
Perhaps I am built to run hot and fast...
Wow. Sid. You can't recommend a natural product and survive in the orthodox medical world. Whatever are you thinking!?
What are you eating and drinking, Randy? Junk food? Sodas? High meat content? Lots of salt?
Diet, diet, diet. Every time. High BP is just another disease of affluence. People sort of tinker at the edges of wanting to be cured but never do what is really necessary and look at what they eating. Next thing you know, between 50 and 55, they are gone to heart attacks. With my father it was 55. With most of his army buddies it was the same. They just loved having a good time, stuffing their fat faces with chips and booze, 'avin a larf' then wondering why they were sick and overweight.
Maybe that's why I'm so passionate about others who are stupid enough to die young and deprive their families of their wisdom and experience and continued presence in their lives. My father was a bright man but like so many, he thought he could beat the Grim Reaper and anyway, he would eventually get around to doing something about it. He never did and we lost a brilliant father. He sure as hell isn't enjoying the 'good life' now.
If you want to improve your health, it's very simple. STOP DOING WHAT IS MAKING YOU SICK! A chuffing pill won't do squat, except enrich the quacks and make you feel temporarily better. It's an illusion which people just love to buy into. A quick 5 minutes at the doc, he gives you some pills, then you go home to your sausage, egg and bacon to watch a bit of footie and you are puzzled as to why you still have your condition?

There are options you can try but people don't do it, not because they can't but because they DON'T WANT TO! They spend years going to the quacks, when they could be sorted within a month.

Go on a juice fast for 10-30 days. The Master Cleanse is proven. Look it up.
Go on a raw food diet for 30 days. I tend not to like this myself since you do feel permanently hungry, whereas with something like a juice fast, you shut your digestion down and give your stomach a much needed rest, with NO hunger.
Or do it the slow way (it's too stressful to cut everything immediately) and take a couple of years gradually stripping out anything that is white. White sugar, white flours, refined salt, anything bleached. If it says 'natural' and doesn't have a seed or is not grown out of the soil, then dump it. Get rid of processed oils, dairy, grains (except unpolished Basmati Rice), booze, fags. Start moving your body but go easy. The first priority is to get the weight off and the BP into a normal range.
There is a movie which will probably inspire and deter you in equal measure called 'Simply Raw - Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days' here..

It will work for most of the diseases of affluence, not just diabetes. As I said, I prefer the juice fast but the point of the movie is, you do not have to spend the rest of your life on Meds, simply managing symptoms and gradually deteriorating, enriching the medical profession every step of the way. Those who took part didn't find it easy but the results were astounding for an 'incurable' disease. If you want to go back to the addictive stuff. Fine, But you could add 5 years to your life with a proper cleanse.
Food companies LOVE fat people. The more addicted they can get you, the better the bottom line. They don't give a s**t about your health. The food labels are a scam. The packaging is seductive lies. That gorgeous skinny blonde chugging her 'ice cold coke down the back of her throat' will be this in a few short years...
Change your eating habits:
1. Stop eating after 6 pm and then stop eating BEFORE you feel stuffed.
2. Chew thoroughly.
3. Don't drink ice water with your food. It puts out your digestive 'fire'. Sip water at body temperature.
4. Clean your internal pipework. It's no good being spotless on the outside if you are like a sewer on the inside.
5. If you are hungry it could be because your body isn't getting it's nutrients from your food and is telling you to eat again. Eat
nutritious food instead of empty calories. You know which food it is. It's the stuff that
should have you salivating but instead you are salivating at crap I wouldn't feed to pigs.
6. Take some probiotics or natural yoghurt (such as Lassi) to replenish the acidophilus anti-biotics have wiped out in your gut. Pro-biotics means 'For Life'. So what does 'anti-biotics' mean? Antibiotics are given out like candy over here.
7. Eat some 'live' fermented foods.
DO something about it. Start today. Get off your fat rear and make an effort. It won't kill you but it will almost certainly save your life. Go and find an ex-Royal Marine and do a two week marine training course on the beach. You'll be a as fit as a flea before you know it!
Talking never did a damn thing for anyone except gather like-minded sufferers around each other to have a mutual 'Kumbaya' and blame the docs, the pills, the other half. Anyone but yourself.
Calculate how much you have or will spend on Medicines over the course of your illness. Then calculate how much you could spend for a week or two at a naturopathic clinic and see how clever your mates, in the bar egging you on, really are.

). Last measurements showed suger levels at 5.9 and 6.0 so it might be that I will not need medication for type II diabetes. However, the days sitting in a bar from early afternoon till early morning are over and this may actually add a few years to my life.
