I am Nana Kwasi, a 45year old auditor and I was diagnosed as hypertensive 4 months ago. Initially, I had a problem with taking my medication because I had heard that when you start taking it you will be on it for life and I had also heard of people complaining about different side effects. I was scared.
Well, I started my medication then I think after week, I saw the benefits of beetroot on your (Lifefrom30) Facebook page that it helps in the control of high blood pressure so I decided to quit my medication and try the beetroot drink.
Later on, by monitoring my pressure I realised the readings were very good so I was just taking the beetroot drinks without the medication and without my doctor's consent and I stopped worrying myself about monitoring because the readings were always good when I checked. I continued staying off the medications for close to 2 months and about a week, till one day when I felt dizzy whiles working at the office.
On recovery I realised I was at the hospital. I was told that I collapsed in my office and was rushed to the hospital with a diagnosis of extreme blood pressure of 180/106 mmHg.
Indeed I thought the beetroot drink alone could save me. My doctor advised me never to go off my medication even when I am taking good foods, fruits and vegetables that control my pressure. Moreover even if there is the need to go off my medications we will do it gradually but not abruptly.
He also stated that should I experience any side effects of my medication it is advisable to report to him than to decide on my own to quit. Currently,the dosage of my medication has been reduced by my doctor because I continued taking the beetroot drink plus my medication after the incidence, since beetroot contains alot of potassium that controls pressure. Please seek doctors advice on any problem you may have concerning your medication. Your life is very important.Other remedies to control your pressure are available but seek the help of your health providers and under no circumstance should you decide not to continue your medication on your own for whatever reason.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as a Hepatitis B carrier back in 2015, with early signs of liver fibrosis. Antiviral meds helped at first, but over time, the virus became resistant, and I started to lose hope.
In 2021, I came across NaturePath Herbal Clinic (www.naturepathherbalclinic.com) and decided to try their herbal treatment, even though I was skeptical. To my surprise, after six months, my blood tests came back negative for the virus.
It was honestly life-changing. I never expected such results from a natural treatment, but it gave me a second chance and I believe it could help others too.
