Dr. Bob is mentioned many times on this web site. He was a MD internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, MD psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years. He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with only 1 side effect 2 years before he passed away.

The following are mainly nutritional ideas that Dr. Bob said could help high blood pressure.

1. Dr. Bob advised garlic pills. Dr. Bob said garlic has a history of being used as an aid in high blood pressure. Garlic supplements in pill form may be better due to the fact that fresh garlic consumed through food consumption may lead to a breath problem.

2. Dr. Bob advised cinnamon tea to relax the muscles. When you relax this can lead to lower blood pressure. He said try and drink cinnamon tea 2 or 3 times a day.

3. Dr. Bob recommended for women to check estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels if you are over the age of 35 years, have used or are using the oral contraceptive pill, or have had a hysterectomy. Improperly balanced hormones can create stress in the body that can result in higher blood pressure.

4. Dr. Bob advised 2000mg of calcium for a 180-pound person and he varied the dose depending on a person's weight. Dr. Bob used calcium supplementation to increase parathyroid hormone in the bloodstream. Parathyroid hormone can help control calcium balance inside and outside cells. Often too much calcium inside cells creates stress that can lead to conditions that result in higher blood pressure. Additionally, do not drink milk or chocolate near the time you supplement calcium.

5. Dr. Bob advised 800-1000 mg of magnesium. Magnesium needs to be taken in conjunction with calcium and also magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker. The ratio of calcium to magnesium should be approximately 2 to 1.

6. Dr Bob advised pancreatic enzymes and said it was valuable to some. Pancreatic enzymes have the ability to decrease intracellular levels of calcium, thus reducing calcium inside cells. This helps to restore the balance of calcium inside and outside the cells.

7. Dr. Bob advised meditation. The method he suggested is to meditate without pictures or words. This form of meditation is called utilizing the "empty mind." Meditation reduces stress and reducing stress can lead to decreasing blood pressure levels. For more information on meditation Dr. Bob recommended the book, "The Relaxation Response," by Dr. Benson

We emphasize that high blood pressure is a serious illness and requires the care of a doctor. The recommendations contained in this article are nutritional and other ideas not meant to be substitutes for a doctor's care. Dr. Bob said the ideas in this article were meant as an additive and not a substitute for modern medical care.


Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.
