Has anyone heard of Tibb/Unani Medicine?

beta blockers and side effects

singingtelegrams@sbcglobal.net — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 16:56:04 GMT

I recently put on a low blood pressure patch for 24 hours and it caused horrific side effects. I took it off Muscles cramped in my feet. I'm having tingling and coldness in my feet and sweating palms and feet. It seems to have dramatically affected my circulation. I'm going cray and having all kinds of tests done. I'm emotionally a wreck. People think I'm crazy but it really messed me up.

I would like anyone's feedback. It's so bad I had cold feet in hot weather and wool socks. It seems to have triggered Reynauds syndrome. I just need it to go away. I was so scared I ended up in the hospital for suicidal thoughts. I'm not crazy this is real and very scary.

Please anyone help with information.

I was put on the medication patch Clonidine to help with anxiety attacks. I do not have high blood pressure.

Healthy Lymphatic System - Key to good health

sangita.sinha11 — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 03:53:38 GMT

The lymphatic system is one of the most important but often neglected systems operating in the body. Most of the problems (disease/disorder) in the human body start due to the vitiation of lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system is vital to our health and very life. Part of our immune system, it provides defense against disease-causing organisms. When the lymphatic system becomes sluggish our tissues become congested, organ function is impaired and our health suffers.
A healthy lymphatic system will help reverse insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes), will help maintain optimum blood pressure levels, keep the heart healthy, keep the liver and kidney safe, help good skin and hairs and keep away baldness and aging, keep arthritis at away. It also keeps you safe from different types of tumors and cancer. It helps with the glandular system and maintain hormonal balance in the body. It won’t allow virus, bacteria and other disease producing microorganisms to flourish and thus keep you healthy.

The healthy lymphatic system and clean interstitial fluid leads to better absorption of the nutrition by the body cells. This prevents any pathogens doing damage to our body.

It leads to speedy recovery in case of wear and tear of the body.
It will heal the body much faster.
It will increase the immune response of the body.
It will help regenerate the damaged organs naturally. Something equivalent to natural stem cell therapy. We have successfully repaired the damaged pancreas of type-1 diabetic patient.
It helps better glucose absorption and will reverse insulin resistance.
It helps get rid of tumors from the body.
It is a prevention against most types of cancer and a cure for those suffering from cancer. Many a times some doctors remove the lymph nodes from the patients. They may give them temporary relief but if the drainage system itself gets damaged then how long the body will be fit? that's why it returns with more severity very soon.
It is a prevention against most problems of blood pressure and a cure for it.
It prevents baldness. It helps growth of new hair because the cells are able to get better nourishment.
It prevents obesity and helps get rid of extra fat from the body.
It has been very effective in All form of Arthritis.
It helps rectify the immune system and so it helps very much in curing auto immune disorder.
It has been highly effective in repairing the kidney.
Its effect is well proven on different kind of ulcer.
It help get rid of Gastro-Intestinal Issues.
It is highly recommended for people with Asthma and other breathing problems.
It helps keep the capillaries clean and blood circulation healthy and prevents damage to the heart.
It helps regulate the glandular system and maintain healthy hormonal balance in the body.

There are numerous benefits of clean and healthy lymphatic system and not possible to list all of them here. Medicines based on the cleansing of lymph and blood has saved many lives across the globe and has been the most successful method of curing a patient. See some of the results yourself.

Healthy Lymphatic System - Key to good health

Because they say so

jowddty — Wed, 04 May 2011 15:37:00 GMT

Before the discoveries of Copernicus and Galileo, the Sun orbited the Earth. It didn’t, of course, but everyone accepted that it did because the popes and the Roman Catholic Church told them so.

Medicine operates in a similar fashion. Its governing bodies determine the measure and tempo of disease, which we all go along with, and the pharmaceutical industry pockets the profits.

One good example of medicinal decree is the definition of high blood pressure, or hypertension, the subject of our main story this month. This autumn, America’s National Institutes of Health will meet to discuss whether the determinants for hypertension need to be changed once again. Right now, a ‘healthy’ blood pressure reading is 120/80 mmHg. In 2003, a normal reading was 128/80 mmHg and, before that, common sense prevailed.

Much pivots on the decision. The pharmaceutical industry is pushing for an even more conservative definition because profits improve when a new band of people is suddenly classified as ‘ill’ and so in need of their products. But there’s a minority band of researchers who are calling for the re-introduction of common sense. They are suggesting that medicine has had blood pressure seriously wrong for all these years. They argue that only the systolic level matters in the over-50s, the major target group for antihypertensive drugs.

Others argue that it’s almost impossible to get an accurate blood pressure reading as levels fluctuate wildly during the day, and even from arm to arm. Many also suffer from ‘white-coat hypertension’—their blood pressure races up just from being in the doctor’s surgery. In short, blood pressure levels are not a constant, so hypertension is not necessarily a disease in the sense in which we understand the term.

What is very clear is that many millions of people are taking a powerful antihypertensive drug—such as an ACE inhibitor—unnecessarily. Around 45 million Americans were suddenly caught up in the hypertension net when the readings were changed in 2003, and many millions more are taking the drugs needlessly if the systolic theory is correct. A new report suggests that up to 40 per cent of people diagnosed with hypertension don’t have the problem at all, but are merely victims of ‘whitecoat hypertension’.

This is potentially bad news for the drugs industry, which is currently selling around $26 billion of antihypertensives every year. Of course, nothing is likely to change. The Sun will continue to go around the Earth, and millions of ‘patients’ with high blood pressure will still have the problem after the National Institutes of Health meets.

Re: Trigeminal Neuralgia

I had great results using DiaDENS-T (DENAS type device - biofeedback dynamic electro neuro adaptive stimulator) to treat trigeminal neuralgia on several patients. I am a practotioner and distributor of DENAS and DiaDENS devices in Australia. It is a very effective natural method that promotes healing of neural fibres in the body and therefore pain relief and complete recovery. It uses patient's own neural impulse and treatment is applied via the machine on reflexology zones and acupoints. Healthy neural conductivity promotes complete body recovery. My patient avoided the surgery and the pain subsided after the first 20 min of treatment by DiaDENS-T. She could not believe it after being on strong painkillers and having a miserable life (pretty much disabled) for several weeks waiting for a specialist appointment. If interested, please read more on our website DENAS Australia www.denas.net.au. We ship worldwide and provide phone and email consultations on using the DENAS or DiaDENS. This is a new technology for the West but in Russia it has been used since 1970-s (developed originally to be used by astronauts in space, who were limited in their use of conventional drugs). Not many people know about it as it is not heavily marketed. I will be happy to answer any questions. We offer 30-day money back guarantee - the neural impulse treatment is so effective you will feel the improvement after just a few sessions.

My best regards to the community!

Yours in health,

Victoria

I used to have hypertension so severe that the person reading the instrument would flinch then remove the cuff, reapply it and take it again to be sure it was reading correctly.

I tried juice fasting after learning about it when going for a chelation treatment. Juice fasting lowered mine, and has lots of additional benefits.

The number of replies are an indication how widespread blood pressure is, and how many are disillusioned with modern drugs and are looking for natural alternatives. Here are some excellent articles that sum up different approaches that would help you to keep blood pressure under control: They talk about the causes of hypertension and how certain lifestyle changes help you to maintain normal pressure: http://healthmad.com/conditions-and-diseases/how-to-control-high-blood-pressure/ http://healthmad.com/conditions-and-diseases/treating-high-blood-pressure-the-natural-way/

Reducing Hypertension Medication

barbaracpike@gmail.com — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 10:32:31 GMT

I have been on a combination of hypertension medications; losartin potassium, bisoprol, felodipine, microasprin and liputor ( lowest doses ) for the past 3 years after a minor heart attack resulting in a stent implantation. I would like to safely reduce (if not eliminate) the medications with a Doctor's support. Has anyone been able to succeed with such a notion ? My long time, regular diet includes whole grains, pulses, veg., fruit etc. seldom sugar no meat, little dairy, no coffee or alcohol. I am retired and out walking 3 - 4 miles 4 - 5 days per week, feel well and believe these practices are doing more to keep my BP at a reasonable ? 130 - 80 level than the medication. Has any one had success in coming off long time multi BP medications ?

Hypertension treatment

mlingard — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 08:57:32 GMT

As a Buteyko Practitioner I have come to realize that there are three ways of treating any disease associated with stress.

The argument is simple: stressors trigger an autonomic response in us usually described as the "fight flight response", this response causes increased heart rate, increased breathing, increased sweating, etc. all preparing us to fight or run.

Dr Buteyko noted that the increased breathing or hyperventilation then led to a vast array of symptoms including hypertension, constriction of airways, panic attacks etc depending on the genetic make up of the individual. (The hypertension,asthma and panic attacks have a common element namely spasm of smooth muscle wrapped around hollow vessels caused by lowered carbon dioxide levels arising from hyperventilation and impaired release of oxygen from the blood for the same reason (the Bohr effect).

Thus we could treat hypertension by

1. Eliminating all stressors in our lives! A difficult problem in the modern world. or

2. By hiding/neutralizing the symptoms with medication (The basis of our very successful drug industry) or

3. By teaching ourselves not to hyperventilate. (The Buteyko Method's approach, Dr Buteyko cured himself this way of serious hypertension in the early days of this research )

It is not uncommon to find drugs meant to reduce a symptom having what is called a paradoxical effect ie. worsening the symptoms.This has recently been found with hypertensive drugs and is a known side effect in some asthma medication.

PS There is no rule to say the patient can't use all three approaches!
