I've used the Vaso-Guard therapy and it is working for me. The book is very comprehensive and I appreciate the holistic approach outlined.
My blood pressure went down by 20 points 2007-09-14
I actually starting using the Dash diet and some of the supplements, not all. In a few days my blood pressure started to go down dramatically. It's amazing how much salt there is in everything. You really have to read labels and of course a lot more fruits and veggies!
Great information 2007-06-02
All in all, very good reading. Nothing new here, just ties together all facets of controlling your high blood pressure: vitamins, supplements, exercise, diet and stress reduction. Presents a variety of programs and explains in detail how each can potentially lower and control hypertension. A good "how to" book to keep handy and refer to often. I have started the program and after only 3 weeks, my blood pressure has dropped. I plan to "wean" myself off the high blood pressure medication I am on now and go "totally natural".
book review 2006-02-25
This book offers a wide variety of treatment options (dietary/ behavioral modification, use of various supplements) in the treatment of hypertension, as well as a comprehensive review of the prescription medications available for this condition. I found the dietary suggestions quite helpful, and this is one of the few books I have read which offers sound advice on use of dietary supplements as well as their presumed mechanism of action.
This book should not be your only source of information

A revolutionary, all- natural treatment program for reversing the 'silent killer' affecting more than 50 million Americans. Hypertension is a dangerous and deadly disease. There are no symptoms, so most sufferers have no idea anything is wrong-making more than 45 million Americans ticking time bombs. And while there are many drugs on the market that combat this condition, the costs and side effects are often prohibitive. Now, a leading expert and researcher introduces an all-natural solution. His comprehensive treatment regimen controls high blood pressure using the best of traditional and alternative medicine. Readers will learn about Dr. Houston's own successful all-natural formula, which attacks hypertension from many angles. When used in conjunction with dietary approaches-also outlined in the book- andcombined with exercise, stress reduction, and medication, this program has resulted in success for 90% of Dr.Houston's patients!
A Must-Read 2004-11-02
Dr. Mark Houston's book promoting nutrition and a healthy lifestyle as potent weapons in the fight against high blood pressure is absolutely excellent. It is refreshing to see an esteemed medical professional embrace alternative therapies rather than relying solely on prescription drugs and vague instructions to "lose weight, exercise, and eat healthier foods." It contains not only useful information and easy-to-understand guidelines for those battling hypertension, but also practical, sound advice for anyone seeking a healthier lifestyle. I recommend this book with the highest enthusiasm!
Just What I Wanted to Know 2004-09-23
I became interested in hypertension after I had successfully knocked off 50 pounds of obesity with the Atkins low carohydrate Way Of Eating (WOE).
Now I was more positively interested in continuing to aid my state of body health.... and attention turned to Hypertension.
What next steps..... after Low Carb......?
The DASH (Dietary Approache to Stopping Hypertension) looked good because it also focused on a Way Of Eating (WOE) which was supposed to inprove heart health in a major way. But DASH conflicts with Atkins..... low carb, because DASH is a remix of the AHA (American Heart Association) Low Fat-High Carb way of eating with some other stuff thrown in.
Doctor Houston's book modifies DASH ..... and gets it off the narrow focus on LOW FAT & HIGH CARB...... which is what helped keep me fat for so long.
I found the book didn't hesitate to be technical at a level that isn't intimidating.
The book also provided to me the way out of my dilema of how to transition from Atkins Low Carb to some heart focused healthy Way Of Eating.
Dr Houston clearly thinks for himself, and reads medical and nutritional literature with an open mind. Unusual for a Medical Doctor....
Thank you, Doctor Mark C Houston.
PS: Please put a few more drawings and flow charts in the next edition... those things keep an engineer's attention.
