High blood pressure, or hypertension, is not something to be taken
lightly. It is a serious disease, the cause of which is unknown. One
fact health care professionals do know is that left untreated, high
blood pressure over time can lead to serious heart disease and other
vascular troubles, even death.

Blood pressure medications come in a wide range of formulas and
dosages; each aimed at reducing the pressure going through the
blood vessels either as the heart pumps blood or relaxes. Some
medications strengthen the blood vessels while others thin the
blood in an effort to reduce the strain. Trial and error is usually
a doctor>s only course of action when determining which combination of
drugs and treatments will benefit a specific patient. The problem with
this approach is the dangerous side effects, which often accompany
these medications.

There is however some good news about hypertension! There are steps
you can take today that will begin to lower your blood pressure almost
immediately. Overtime, the result is a sustained healthy blood
pressure reading that supports your blood vessels and heart for years
to come.

Start with these 5 easy lifestyle changes. Always consult with your
doctor before trying anything new with your health regime, and never
go off of any medication without the advice of your doctor. Here is a
list that any doctor can approve of:

1. Drink Water. Yes, water is a way to cleanse and refresh every
part of the body, even your blood vessels. Drink 8-10 glasses each day
to flush out excess salt and toxins that make their way into the blood
stream. You can use water to replace some drinks
containing caffeine that temporarily raise blood pressure.

2. Stop Smoking. If you are a long time smoker, you know how it
affects your breathing. What you may not realize is its impact on
your blood pressure. If you can>t quit completely, then cut down.
Even a 50% reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked each week can
help.

3. Exercise. A cardiovascular workout strengthens the heart. This is
important because high blood pressure over time puts added strain on
the heart. Just 20 minutes, 3 times per week of a
sustained increase in heart rate will aid in lowering blood
pressure.

4. Eat Right. If you are eating better and exercising, a nice
by-product will be weight loss. By reducing your weight by 10%, you
can significantly lower blood pressure. A diet that includes the
freshest fruits and vegetables will support healthy blood pressure.
Reduce or eliminate salt intake, and especially beware of "hidden"
sodium found abundantly in pre-packaged convenience foods.

5. Relax. Many people have a temporary raise in blood pressure when
they are under stress. If you have high blood pressure because you are
over weight or have a family history of hypertension, then stress
raises it that much more. Try taking a walk, meditating or listening
to relaxing music to take the edge off a stressful day. Make time for
decompressing each and every day.

positive impact on your blood pressure level:

However, especially with the lowers, it didn>t seem to do much good. I>d
complain of the pain. He>d look confused and say "I can>t imagine why you>re
in pain. There is no nerve in that tooth." and go back to drilling. I>m some

I distinctly remember that when I was a child (before puberty), circa
1960, my dentist *never* gave me Novocaine or any sort of anesthetic
prior to starting the drilling. Instead, I just grabbed the arms of the
dental chair and hung on for dear life. When the drill would hit a
nerve, I would flinch but remain seated. My mom would be standing
behind me saying to me, "If you get out of that chair, I>ll break your
arm!" So that>s why I remained seated. At no time did either my mom or
my dentist discuss giving me any sort of anesthetic to numb the pain,
which was intense as the drill got close to a nerve.

I>m *NOT* making this up. This was the dentistry I received until the
1970s. When I got older and got a new dentist who gave me anesthetic, I
remember being amazed: Dentistry didn>t have to be excruciatingly
painful after all! As a child, I had assumed that excruciating pain was
just the way dentistry was supposed to be.

Does any of this sound familiar to older folks here? Was anesthetic
only started in the 1960s, or did it exist before that? Did
old-fashioned dentists back then eschew anesthetic for their patients?

Anybody else here just forego anesthetic and accept the pain of drilling
as just part of the dentistry process?

PS, Apologies for the above digression, but metal amalgam fillings are
placed in children>s teeth. Does anyone know if experimental
investigations have ever been carried out in order to measure the
electromagnetic properties (i.e., permittivity, permeability and
conductivity) of metal dental fillings. And, in view of the fact that
dental amalgam is an inhomogeneous mixture of dissimilar metals, would
you expect these properties to vary from point to point within the
material? I think I would.

Are you back on that tired old horse?

[/quote]
It>s an unresolved issue.

So far, all we know is that metal amalgam dental fillings generate
electrical potentials with magnitudes of up to 350 millivolts , see:
http://book.boot.users.btopenworld.com/dutch.htm

(And don>t forget, it has also been shown that they are able to do
this even when they are not in contact with any saliva, see:
http://jdr.iadrjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/31/2/205)

However, it STILL appears that experimental investigations to
determine whether or not the electrical potentials generated by dental
amalgams are able to dissipate electrical energy through the nerves in
people>s heads have never been carried out.

Now, in recent years technologists have developed extremely sensitive
instruments which are able to detect neurological activity in the
human body.

It should be possible to use such technology to try and detect whether
or not neurological activity in the vicinity of teeth with metal
amalgam fillings is any different from neurological activity in the
vicinity of teeth without them.

Then, if a difference is detected, it would be necessary to carry out
further investigations in order to find out whether or not there is
any direct correlation between the presence of amalgam fillings in
teeth and the occurrence of those so-called "psychological disorders"
which have become commonplace since the use of dental amalgams first
became widespread in the early part of the nineteenth century.

Only then would anyone be able to make an informed judgement as to
whether the continued use of amalgam fillings in dentistry is a good
idea or not.

And that, my dear Jim Pennino, is not "trolling nonsense".

It>s called "science".

PPS, Any readers who may have tuned in to this thread to find out
about "mind control" might like to consider why, in spite of the fact
that anyone would have to be rather ignorant not to recognise that the
electromagnetic behavior of teeth with metal amalgam fillings should
be noticeably different from those without, it appears that there
isn>t anyone anywhere in the world who knows what the electromagnetic
properties of a typical dental amalgam are.

The electrical potentials generated by metal dental fillings can be
measured using the type of instrument you are talking about - I>ve
seen it done. Typically the readings measure hundreds of millivolts.

You can see an example of the results of such measurements written
down at:

http://book.boot.users.btopenworld.com/potentials.htm

(And by the way, readings such as these are obtained when there is no
saliva in contact with the fillings.)

However, what I was talking about in my previous post is a different
kind of measurement.

What we need is to be able to quantify the neurological activity
occurring in the form of electrical impulses in the nerve fibers in
the vicinity of teeth, and we need to do this for teeth both with and
without amalgam fillings so that the two can be compared.

I do not believe that $50 is sufficient to buy the type of instrument
which is sensitive enough to carry out these measurements with the
degree of accuracy necessary for them to be useful.

Several hundred milliwatts from fillings; more than enough to power
