 Worked for me August 11, 2010
Chris (Virginia)
I posted in one of the discussions, but it may help someone to see my results in the book reviews, so here it is:
I was skeptical too; but for me it really did work. I haven't been able to cut my prescription out entirely (Benicar 20mg+12.5 HCT), but I take only 1/4 of a pill a day along with the arginine, grapeseed extract, pycnogenol, and lyc-o-mato in the dosage he recommends. My BP is a very healthy 105/69, and that is lower than with Benicar alone at full dose. If I cut out the Benicar entirely, it starts to creep back up; but I think if I lose 15 pounds, it will likely stay down. My incentive was to get rid of the Benicar because of all the side effects. I felt absolutely terrible on it. It was the third med I tried; I had issues will all of them. Yes, it costs more (my insurance paid for the Benicar with a $10 deductible); but these BP prescription meds are powerful and they do have side effects. Some over time; others show up more quickly. If you can get rid of that, isn't it worth it? For me it is. BTW, my pre-med BP was 184/125 -- yikes! So we're talking about a serious BP problem. That was this past November. Tried 3 different meds. Been on the Benicar for 4 months, and I hated it. Started this regimen 5/25. Works better than the Benicar was working alone, and I feel great. I say at least try it and see if it can work for you. Even if you can lower your dosage, it may be worth it for you. It works quickly, so you only need buy the supplements once to find out if it is making a difference. It will likely take more than a month to fine tune things (figure out which ones are really helping and which aren't making much difference), but you will probably know in that time if it is making a difference at all. For me I noticed a difference in just a couple of days. I cut my Benicar dose in half and monitored closely, and it stayed down, then went lower, then I cut that half in half and it stayed down. Recently I doubled the algernine and it is the lowest it has been. Most of these supplements come in sizes that will last two or three months, so a while before you have to buy again even with experimenting. Good luck!
Update: I found that doubling the L-Algernine and taking only that with 1/4 of my Benicar prescription gives me a very good BP rate of about 110/70. If I take the other supplements, it goes even lower, about 95/60. This is more along my normal BP when I was thin and younger (up to about age 35). But for now, I'm happy with 110/70. The L-Algernine at twice his recommendation along with 1/4 of my prescription works very well. I'm hoping to cut out the script altogether by losing weight. I'll have to see if I need to use some of the other supplements along with L-Algernine when I stop taking the Benicar.
 Outdated August 10, 2010
J. Cummins (Alberta, Canada)
This book isn't very old but is already outdated. Cholesterol is not meant to be lowered extremely, and now we know this does kill people. And to assume dark skinned individuals are just more sensitive to salt is a silly way to rationalize their higher rates of high blood pressure. New research shows a connection to vitamin D, as an example.

Penny A. Yoder (Portland, OR USA)
By following the suggestions in the book, my good friend lowered her blood pressure from 180/100 to 120/70. She will NOT be taking drugs. I bought the book because of her testimony and to share with friends. At this point in my life, I don't have high blood pressure. But as we all know, things change. This is a great source of information. Thank you, Mr. Kowalski!

Have found this book very informative and helpful. Have actually made of list of what is good, maybe and bad for the cure and prevention of high blood pressure. Would recommend this book to anyone.
 Good advice, but check w/ your doctors before supplementing May 13, 2010

Thoughtful, well-written and effective. Especially useful were the chapters on keeping active, controlling your salt intake and lowering your cholesterol. The author takes on an encouraging and helpful tone throughout the book, which I found was a nice touch.
But as always, you should consult with your doctors before taking any of the supplements he suggested in his book. Case in point: I'm a pre-dialysis kidney patient and one of the two biggest things I can do to help my situation is to control my blood pressure. I can't, however, begin a diet regimen involving supplements without first running it through my nephrologist because I must strictly regulate what goes into my body. The best I can do is follow Kowalski's advice on staying active and fit. It's good advice on the whole, but do keep a level of healthy skepticism as ask plenty of questions.
I would still highly recommend this book because of its encouraging and effective advice.
