My 76 year old Mother on hbp meds for 30 years, on Diovan and metoprolol and two other hbp meds, Well after years of complain of severe pain, coughing, NIGHTMARES!! fainting,hair loss, she also has lost her walking gait, walks funny, Well a few months ago, I started cooking and shopping for her, Lean protein, LOTS of raw fruits and veggies, and lots of water,Last month the Dr cut the metoprolol and a lot of the pain stopped, So did the nightmares!! shes feeling so much better, Well her bp was so good today at the doctors He said she could cut back on the DIovan, Maybe in time she can get off of this one also, She also has been taking 1-2 tbl a day of apple cider vinegar,garlic,fish oil, and eating mostly vegan, Shes lost 20 lbs, ALL of this has taken place in a few months, I feel bad I didn't do this for her 30 years ago, She takes her bp daily and it seems if she eats white flour sugar salt anything but healthy food, it goes up. GOOD LUCK ! and don't wait 30 years,
