High Blood Pressure ~ tips to lower high BP
Picture source : www.google.com
High blood pressure or hypertension is pretty common even among young people. When I started selling supplement from home back in year 2009 and make a living from it till today, I think…high blood pressure is the second highest inquiries that I’d received after diabetes and pcos (amount of queries receive for diabetes and pcos diseases more or less the same). You can read a testimonial for diabetes here. So, I guess it may beneficial to some if I write some tips and natural treatment for high blood pressure.
Ok firstly, to treat high blood pressure, we need to know some of its common causes, basically from where it comes from lah…
- Old age. As we age, our arteries sometimes stiffen, causing the heart to work harder to push the blood, which leads to high blood pressure.
- High blood pressure can also be caused by other medical conditions, such as kidney and thyroid diseases, and even sleep apnea.
- In women, birth control medications or hormone medications may cause slightly higher blood pressure.
- In children, high blood pressure is usually a symptom of another underlying medical condition. Very often, doctors are unable to diagnose the exact cause of high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is medically treated with prescription drugs, however, dietary and lifestyle changes often prove to be just as effective. Treating high blood pressure with supplement and natural remedies is relatively simple.
How to treat High Blood Pressure with basic nutrition supplement.?
Vitamin C Nutritional Supplements
High blood pressure has been associated with low levels of vitamin C. Vitamin C supplements are therefore taken to lower blood pressure. Additional studies are underway to determine how vitamin C prevents high blood pressure.Calcium Nutrition Supplements
Supplements containing the mineral calcium have shown benefits for high blood pressure. Calcium is vital in the function of muscle tissue, which plays a role in maintaining the arteries and the muscles of the heartCo-Enzyme 10 (CoQ-10) Supplements
Another supplement to consider for treating high blood pressure is called coenzyme Q10. CoQ-10 is a compound in the body. It is believed that CoQ-10 deficiency may be a cause of high blood pressure. Early studies show that persons who take supplemental CoQ-10 can often discontinue prescription medications for high blood pressure.Fish Oil Nutrition Supplements
Fish oil supplements are made with the oil processed from the fatty tissues of fish such as salmon or tuna. Fish oil capsules are often consumed as a source of omega fatty acids. According to an August 2002 medical study published in the Journal of Hypertension, individuals with high blood pressure should take fish oil capsules because they may reduce the health risks and symptoms associated with high blood pressure.

Cancer “the killing machine”
This entry is a tribute for Arwah Abg Zamri who has passed away for almost 2 years now. He was a good guy and very close to my family. He died because of lymphoma (a type of blood cancers) in Syawal 2008. Al-fatihah for him.
Cancer has become common to us nowadays, in the previous days cancer hardly being mention. Gone are the days whereby people live healthily and free from critical degenerative diseases.
Sadly, although cancer is common, ask yourself below questions…
“do you really know what cancer is?”
“do you know the chance of you getting cancer?”
If your answer for the above questions is No, then you really need to open your eyes as wide as you can, observe and continue reading this post. Below are some example of the most colossal errors in judgment you could ever make concerning your health…
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” myth.
“If I have no symptoms of a disease, then I don’t have to worry about disease …”
You might not have a diagnosed disease, but disease can go on for years without warning before being discovered as disease. This type of thinking will, without argument, eventually shorten your life.

The Root Cause of Cancer
Researchers today all agree that cancers develop in adults over decades. You don’t just wake up one day and have cancer. It is the result of small changes that occurs over years and years.
Researchers have shown that when the DNA nucleus of the cell is exposed to excessive free radicals that it can cause mutation or damage to the DNA. When this cell replicates, this mutation is carried to each newly developed cell. Then more oxidative damage can occur and this vicious cycle can continue to the point where a true cancer eventually develops.
Cancer a Multistage Process
All cancer researchers now agree that cancer is a multistage process that usually takes decades to develop. In adults cancer can take 20 or even 30 years to develop from the initial mutation of the DNA to becoming a full-blown cancer. In children this process may progress much more rapidly because of the rapid turnover of the cells.
Precancerous Tumors (cervix cancer for women and luekoplakia for tobacco chewers)
There have been several studies involving precancerous tumors that occur on the surface of the body. The next step in this multistage process is a full-blown cancer. Researchers have chosen to study cervical dysplasia, which occurs in the cervix of women and luekoplakia in men, which occurs in the mouths of tobacco chewers. They have given these patients antioxidants in supplementation and then followed their progression. Depending on which study you look at, anywhere from 50 to 70% of these tumors go all the way back to normal.
Even in the later stages of cancer development the body still has the potential to repair itself if given optimal levels of antioxidants. This is leading to a new concept in medicine called chemoprevention. In other words, preventing the development of cancer is a worthy goal because of the general poor prognosis once you develop cancer. Nutritional supplements are becoming the leading candidate for chemopreventive agents.
Antioxidants and Chemoprevention
If you have enough antioxidants on board to handle the number of free radicals you are producing, your body (including the DNA nucleus of the cell) are protected. Antioxidants and their supporting nutrients also optimize your body’s natural repair system and natural immune system. So even if you have started down that road to developing a cancer, your body has the best opportunity to either repair or destroy that mutated cell.
Nutritional supplementation is the leading candidate for chemoprevention. Unlike drugs, nutritional supplements are very safe. They can also be taken for a lifetime and are relatively inexpensive. There is going to be a tremendous amount of research using high-quality nutritional supplements for the specific purpose of decreasing your risk of developing all forms of cancer.
What if You Already Have Cancer?
Many oncologists believe that you have cancer that you should not be taking nutritional supplements. This is a theoretical concern that these supplements may improve the antioxidant defense system of the cancer cells. Since their chemo and radiation therapy uses free radicals and oxidative stress in an attempt to destroy these cells, they do have a concern. However, when you look at the medical research that studied patients who took high-quality, complete and balanced nutritional supplements while receiving their chemo or radiation therapy, the patients did better than those who did not take supplements.
Dr. Kedar Prashad, a radiation therapist from the University of Colorado Medical School, actually reviewed over 90 of these studies. He found that those patients who took nutritional supplements while taking either their chemo or radiation therapy not only tolerated their treatments better, but also responded to them better. He concluded that antioxidant supplements improved the normal cells antioxidant defense system; however, they made the cancer cells more vulnerable to cell death. This is win-win situation for cancer patients. In fact, this has led some major cancer treatment centers like the Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Tulsa, OK and Chicago, IL to give all of their cancer patients antioxidant supplements while receiving their treatments.
Anti-Cancer Properties of CoQ10
Exciting new research is showing that CoQ10 is able to program cancer cells to self-destruct. This finding was one of several from recent studies conducted by researchers at the University of Miami (FL) using CoQ10 in supplementation. CoQ10 was found to change the genetic makeup of the cancer cell, which allowed the cancer cell to kill itself without harming normal cells. Essentially, CoQ10 set off a natural process of cell death of the cancer cells called apoptosis. The genetic makeup of normal cells was not affected.
I have observed this phenomenon clinically in many of my cancer patients. This is why I have always strongly recommended high doses of CoQ10 for all my cancer patients. Dr. Peter Langsjoen who is the head of the CoQ10 Society International has reported case studies of women who were sent home to die because of metastatic breast cancer to bone and liver which went into spontaneous remission just using CoQ10. Every cancer patient needs to be taking high doses of CoQ10 (500 to 600 mg of powder form or 180 to 200 mg of gel form) along with a complete and balanced antioxidant and mineral tablets.
Anti-Cancer Properties of Vitamin E and C
Vitamin C has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in both animal and human studies. There are other studies which show that vitamin C at lower doses can actually stimulate the growth of cancer cells. Linus Pauling has shown that the use of 10 gms of sodium ascorbate can prolong and improve the quality of life in cancer patients. Other researchers have disputed these studies; however, they used straight ascorbic acid. There has been no significant toxicity related to these higher doses of vitamin C except for occasional GI upset. Medical studies are now showing us that calcium ascorbates are actually safer and more effective in patients with cancer. This allows me to recommend higher quality vitamin C at a lower dose in my cancer patients. However, there is still a concern of using vitamin C alone in cancer patients. This is why I always use vitamin C along with a complete and balanced nutritional supplement.
There have been several studies that have shown that vitamin E used in supplementation will inhibit the growth and increase the cell death of various cancers. Research studies are showing that d alpha-tochopherol succinate (natural vitamin E) is the most potent form of vitamin E in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and causing increased cell death of these cancer cells. The higher antioxidant and biological effect of this natural form of vitamin E has also
been demonstrated in several different studies.

Ever since I started venture into “the brand” business and working full time as health distributor, slowly I develop an interest towards health. From time to time , I will make a point to spare some times reading health materials to gain more knowledge so that I could share with my friends or customers to serve them better.
I used to think health materials is too plain boring and mundane. Such an ignorance brat I was. Haha. But yeah, people do change kan?
So, I wanna share some infos regarding “Joint Health” or “kesihatan sendi” in Bahasa [I nk try buat weekly post on health topics, tapi selaluuuuu jer terbabas] which I’d retrieved from Mingguan Malaysia newspaper. It may help those who has problem with joints.
Article is taken from Mingguan Malaysia, 31 January 2010
As mention in the above article “Glucosamine” is the key arsenal to maintain your joints. So, let me summarize up content of the above article;
- 60% female and 70% male will experience osteoarthritis once embark to 65 years old or earlier than that. Osteoarthritis (OA) also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease, is a group of mechanical abnormalities involving degradation of joints
- Factors contributed to osteoarthritis are obesity and actively involve in physical activities [sports man]
- Other than taking supplement, losing some weight will also help to reduce the excessive pressure on the joints.
- Glucosamine sulfate is a chemical that is found in the fluid around your joints. Glucosamine derived from seashells or produced in a laboratory is used for a variety of conditions, including arthritis. In the fluid around your joints, glucosamine sulfate helps strengthen the cartilage that cushions your joints.
Warning : People who are allergic to shellfish should not take glucosamine.
By now you should already understand a little bit on what is glucosamine and its benefits. Senang faham tu, sbb simple language jer. I nyer vocab pon limited and seldom use bombastic words, sbb takut end up haku sendiri pon tk faham nnt. Hehe. Shame on me.
Truth is glucosamine not only beneficial to elderly and sports man, myself also actually owe “the brand” glucosamine supplement so much. Due to my overweight problem before during pregnancy, I had suffer great pain at my joints especially ankle, fingers, toes and both knees.
Even sekarang ni, kalau I ingat2 balik, boleh terasa ngilu sendi-sendi I. Mmg sakit tuhan saja yg tahu. Waking up in the morning from long slumber at night was a nightmare, my knees and fingers are killing me. I can’t stand up on my own and in need of support to straighten my leg properly, I walk like a cripple duck and can’t use my fingers for even light duty task such as memusing tombol pintu. Yeah….that bad!
So, should you need more infos on this and in need of my recommendation for the glucosamine supplement, do drop me a message HERE.

Woman, Menopause, Estrogen and Cancer
Ha’ah…care sangat la tu!
A reader of mine was asking about any supplement that could help her to increase her breast size. Oh no, don’t get me wrong this is not about getting boob jobs or plastic surgery. That’s soooooo pathetic plus am no playing Nip & Tuck [ehe]
Back to my customer, her breast is actually decreasing in size and of course she feels so sad, since she’s still young, so menopause isn’t likely the problem here. Mind you my knowledge is pretty limited since am not a doctor and never took any medic course before, surely I need to google up for some infos and from my findings apparently deficiency in estrogen might cause her breast to shrink! Read below;
Some physicians maintain that a woman’s breasts shrink because of the deficiency in estrogen. When estrogen declines, skin in general becomes less elastic, thins and tends to become dehydrated, which can result in smaller, sagging breasts. However, many menopausal women will tell you that their breasts have increased in size, which may be due to weight gain or simply a shift in weight or some other factor that the researchers haven’t yet found.
What Estrogen does anyway? Well..in simple and easy explanation that I could think of, generally it makes breast bigger, read below;
Estrogen levels increase as a woman gets ready for her menstrual period. Estrogen fires up the milk ducts in the breasts during the menstrual cycle, which makes her breasts get bigger and sometimes results in soreness and tenderness, which is referred to as mastalgia. When a woman ovulates, progesterone is produced and this causes her to retain fluids, which makes her breast tissue swell and her breasts will get bigger as a result. Working in tandem, estrogen actually increases the amount of breast tissue whereas progesterone causes the breasts to fill up with fluid, resulting in a rather noticeable size increase at times.

One common solution to deal with this is taking the estrogen hormon replacement therapy (HRT). However, there are too many downside of estrogen such as breast cancer,risk of ovarian cancer, thinner bones and many more until I think it is best to avoid. You can refer here list of articles regarding risk of taking the estrogen. Apparently estrogen is also main ingredient in birth control pills which being consumed by millions of woman all over the world! I got the shock of my life and I can’t thank myself enough to ban the birth control pills since errr…..born I guess? Yeah, I never like the idea of taking birth control pills. Shall I want to “control” birth, I do it manually.
Is there any safer solution to deal with this hormone problems? Since I always believe in supplement and how effective [sometimes works better than prescribed drugs] it was to put certain diseases or abnormality under control, therefore my suggestion is always to eat your dietary vitamins don’t skip and also eat healthily. Read below on how normal vitamins or supplements can be your one holy grail solution for hormonal problems such deficiency in estrogen.
- Support your thyroid function with selenium and zinc. Low thyroid can cause fatigue, weight gain, dry skin and headaches. Selenium and zinc help the body utilize the thyroid hormone
- Use iodized salt. Iodine provides an essential component of thyroid hormone. If you exclude salt from your diet, eat seaweed or saltwater fish. You can also take 100 mcg of iodine daily as a supplement.
- Take vitamin B supplements to increase your adrenal gland output. If you have adrenal gland insufficiency, you can feel irritable, light-headed and hypoglycemic. Your body needs vitamin B to produce adrenal hormones, so take 500 mg of vitamin B5 a day and 100 mg of vitamin B6.
- Ask your doctor to check your chromium levels. Chromium helps the hormone insulin to deliver glucose to cells throughout the body. If you have low chromium levels and insulin resistance, fat cells retain the sugar, which increases the risk for diabetes and heart disease.
- Increase your intake of biotin-rich foods. This B vitamin decreases the risk of insulin resistance. Biotin-rich foods include animal sources like poultry, dairy products and fish.Enhance your body’s ability to process estrogen with vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and choline. These vitamins and minerals support liver’s ability to excrete excessive estrogen.

You also may need Calcium as your estrogen level decreases, your body begins to lose bone mass. This is common during menopause. If your estrogen levels drop too low, you may develop osteoporosis, a condition in which your bones become brittle. To keep your bones strong, your body needs estrogen, calcium and vitamin D.
Nature of supplement it always takes longer time to produce results but it is worth the wait. You don’t really want a shortcut to everything, donch ya? Contact me if you need my suggestion on the supplements that you can take for the above or any other diseases. I would be more than happy to assist. Oh and another info deficiency in estrogen may also lead to lack of sexual desire.
