Need supplement to lower blood pressure to pass DOT Test

**DirtyDog7** · 03-04-2006, 08:40 PM

A friend of mine has high blood pressure and he is a truck driver. Every year he has to pass a DOT Test to keep driving. If he can't pass his test then he loses his job. Right now he is @ 160 over 95. He's 41 Years Old, 6 Foot One and 180lbs.

Thanks to Papi leading me to Bryan2's info, I recommended Hawthorn berry, Celery Seed Extract and a Garlic Supplement.

The 1200mg of Hawthorn Berry, CelerySeed Extract and Garlic only lowered his blood pressure down to 145 over 92.

If he's not under 140 over 90 when he takes his test in two weeks, then he will lose his job.

Any advice?

keep taking the supps and make sure he gets a lot of sleep, 2 weeks is tough, maybe he should have gone to a doctor...

He did see a doctor but the meds don't seem to be kicking in and he's running low on time.

calcium vitamin D and Niacin.

Tell him to slash the carbs to nuttin a few days before the test and avoid salt like the plague. no beef jerky, processed lunch meats or hotdogs.

peace

This is what I found searching the net. Does anyone have experience with any of these?

• Coleus forskohlii-Lowers blood pressure and improves heart function.
• Hawthorne (Crataegus oxycantha)-Has the ability to dilate coronary blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure.
• Mistletoe (Viscum album)-Not as potent as Rauwolfia but well tolerated and nontoxic in normal doses.
• Rauwolfia (Rauwolfia serpentina)-This is considered the most powerful hypotensive botanical. Only a small dose is required to achieve results and to avoid side effects. Nasal congestion is the most common side effect.

COLEUS!!!

That is by far and away the best product to lower blood pressure. Get a product called Thermabolic from Sci-Fit. Take 6 a day, 2 morning, noon and night before bed. It has no stimulants and will not keep you awake. Your blood pressure will most likely go down by the time of the test. It is completely safe, regardless of age. The only adverse side effect you might see is mild diharea(sp?), but that is nothing compared to losing your job. Good luck.
