What Rx? Now more than ever ARM yourself with know-how for your Health 

I have been swallowing three varieties of blood pressure
pills for 10 years. In another month, I expect to be off of
them entirely. And that's with my doctor's approval.

Some months ago, I was introduced to a relatively new
medical science called glycobiology.

Very briefly...the science centers around eight simple
sugars. These are not sugars diabetics must avoid. They are
food for our human cells.

Think of these simple sugars as you would oil in your car.
The oil doesn't make your car run. However, without it you
are headed for a serious breakdown.

Simple sugars function much the same way in your body as
oil does in your car. They do not provide healing. They do
not make your body run. But without them, you're headed for
a serious breakdown. And that's spelled D-I-S-E-A-S-E.

HERE IS WHAT THE SCIENCE IS DOING FOR ME

After reading about a number of people who were able to
get off the blood pressure medication when simple sugars
were added to their diet, I decided to give it a try. I had
been on the simple sugars for several months so it was time
for an experiment.

Without asking my doctor, which is probably a no no, I
starting cutting my pills in half. This wasn't altogether
naughty because I have a BP monitor and kept close watch on
what was happening.

I noticed that over a period of several weeks my BP
readings gradually kept getting lower. In fact, several
times they dipped below normal.

I talked to my doctor and confessed what I had done. I
then told him I'd like to wean myself completely off the
drugs.

Fortunately, he already knew about the science of simple
sugars (glyconutritionals) and was willing to experiment
with me. He immediately took me off one of my medications,
which was a dollar a pill variety. That alone was worth a
small drop in blood pressure.

He will gradually wean me off my other two medications. So
within a month or two, I should be rid of them. I don't
know about you, but anytime I can avoid taking drugs
without compromising my health, I'm among the first to get
in line.

WHY DO SIMPLE SUGARS WORK?

Without getting into a lot of technical stuff, the eight
simple sugars are absolutely essential to the communication
system of your body cells. When this communication system
is working properly, cells can communicate their need for
resources such as protein, hormones, etc. The result is
healthy cells which create healthy tissue create healthy
bodies.

You might ask, "Well how does that work in lowering Blood
Pressure?"

The best answer I can give you is, "Pretty doggone well,
thank you." Other than that, you'll have to dig out the
science on your own. A good place to start is
http://glycoscience.org. However, be warned that this is a
technically oriented web site.

If you would like to continue monitoring my road to drug
freedom, click the web site link at the bottom of this
article. It will provide more non-technical information
about the science and provide you with updates on my
progress.

Also, don't hesitate to mention the science of
glycobiology to your doctor. He or she may not have heard
of it. This isn't hard to understand when you consider the
science involves a food, not a drug. And even though the
results are often amazing when applied to someone's diet,
the fact that it is a food passes below the radar of many
doctors.

Just remember, you can take the simple sugars without a
prescription. They are non-toxic and do not interact with
any drugs. In other words, they are totally safe.

You may even want to start the simple sugars on your own
and give your body time to recover from years of simple
sugar starvation. Then, after a month or two, ask your
doctor if you can lower your dosage with the ultimate goal
of becoming drug-free.

And speaking of monitoring your BP, excuse me a moment
while I check my own.

Yup...hanging in there. It registered 115/69. Scouts honor.

I think I'm ready for another reduction in my medication.
Except my doctor is on vacation.
