Paying too much attention to politics.
Thanks for posting. As one of many who suffer HBP and Chronic Kidney Failure, this and the linked article also on HBP are of great interest.
Bump for Susan Rice, John Bremer, FBI Dir Comey, and Hussein Obama. They are finding HBP is caused by another factor, TRUTH.
Interesting article that I am going to show my primary care physician. She and another specialist have been baffled on why my blood pressure is very high without medications even though I didn’t exhibit causes of high blood pressure (lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, excess salt consumption, etc.).
Probably genetic....................
> Why do we develop high blood pressure?
I had to get a medical note in 1962 to enlist in the Navy.
My blood pressure was 78/50 and my pulse rate was 45.
It’s the same today as it was 55 years ago.
My doctor hates it because it’s not on the charts and he can’t look up stuff about me.
All members of my family have similar physiology.
I don’t know what high blood pressure is, but I’m pretty sure I don’t have it.
“Probably genetic....................”
Could be. Some members of my family have high BP although none as high as mine. Other exhibit normal or even low BP.
What is interesting is I felt fine with the higher BP and more lethargic when my BP was more normal (with meds). But I won’t take chances so I follow a strict regimen regarding taking the meds.

It’s a miracle that there are any FReepers over 60 Years Old. #;^)
.
How many FReepers do you think there are under 60?
.
When my MIL was in her 60’s, her doctor insisted she wouldn’t live the year out of she didn’t take BP meds. She refused to take them because they made her feel tired. So, she dumped the doctor, and the meds. To this day she refuses to take meds of any kind.
She will be 103 in May of this year.
>>>How many FReepers do you think there are under 60?<<<
I’m sure there are more than a couple but less than a few.
Time for an FR Survey? LOL
Hats off to your MIL.
My 63 year old friend suffered a near death stroke because he did not take his all his meds. I am not taking any chances.

>> “conserved through evolution.” <<
What absurdity! it is just another solid argument for “Intelligent Design” and undermines evolution.
.
Take a break....step away.
Great story. God bless her.
You are lucky to have her so long.

Your 63 year old friend suffered a near death stroke because he took “medications.”
Strokes are one of the most mentioned “side effects” of drugs advertised on TV.
Have you ever listened to the stuff they babble softly and rapidly in those commercials?
Drugs are probably the major cause of death in this country.
There are safer, more effective natural remedies for literally everything.
.
.
A solid majority.

Your MIL has it exactly right!
