Controlling High Blood Pressure through Nutrition, Nutritional Supplements, Lifestyle, and Drugs

I’m in agreement that the material in this book can save organs and extend life. It brings you up to speed if you need that, and then contributes it’s own unique and well thought, trialed and documented adjustable program. I already have seen results in under a week. I’d give the content 5 stars all day, with gratitude to the author.What I don’t love is the binding. It was a $50, 278 page paperback. It damn sure shouldn’t be shedding half anchored pages from the center of the book on the first reading. I would use this book repeatedly, revisiting it until I had it down then pass it on to my son or my physician to spread this around, but this book is self destructing on the first read. Mind I use book marks and am gentle with books. It is CRC Press quality issue that cost a star and would have cost more but for the value of the material.Bottom line, the book might have just saved my life, almost certainly delayed or is preventing some serious consequences. It is has given me the master plan to put a lot of loose ends together, plus gems I’ve seen only from this author. So to clarify once more, don’t wait one more day if your BP is over 140/80 or you’re young and have hypertension in you family. The information is just as there regardless of the ineffective binding. If I could rate the binding separately, it would get one star.

He does an excellent job in putting issues causing hypertension in layman's terms but does provide all medical deep dive facts to back up his assertions. He is different from any ordinary doctor as he looks at the multiple potential causes and then comes up with a range of treatments, many of which are not the typical load you up with pills and see what happens. Any person with his condition (me included) can now go back to their doctor with better questions, get additional tests as needed, and really zero on the cause and best treatment to get back to normal.

Dr. Houston and Lee Bell have put together a definitive guide to managing hypertension in a format that is easy to read for both clinicians and patients alike. About half of the book is devoted to the science in an easy to digest format. The other half is what I found equally, if not more valuable - the detailed, science backed information on nutrition, exercise, supplements, and lifestyle modifications - what works and what doesn't to help you get healthy again. I loved how Dr. Houston "calls out" the commonly used DASH diet which is no more than a diet to reduce sodium intake - and is literally over 20 years behind the times in terms of the science today. It's a full comprehensive plan to managing your health. Five stars.

Mark Houston is a dear friend and probably one if not the most brilliant physicians in the world. His books are not only for physicians but also lay people. He teaches many other physicians around the world. Having written probably over 6-7 books along with giving over 10, 000 lectures.This book will give patients a great alternative to traditional medical treatments

The human body and the way it operates is so complicated and intriguing at the same time. Its so great to have such a knowledgeable doctor break down the inner workings of it in Layman's term to that the average person can understand. A huge plus for me is that he is into holistic and functional medicine which put is the cherry on top. This gets a 👍 from me!

Dr. Houston has a tremendous talent for teaching valuable information and necessary medical explanations for patients who don’t understand high blood pressure. He shares solutions that help patients control their destiny to a happier healthier lifestyle through diet, exercise, and spiritual well being. Purchased this book for my husband to help him own his high blood pressure.

I’m blown away!! Very educational and informative! Easy to read and understand! Not only does he educate you but gives you the tips you need to make better and healthier lifestyle choices.
