Hypertension Study
The Answers of Participant 14 (Mr. BL, 72 years)
for a Study about Efficacy and Compliance of
Hypertension Cure Measures
according to the book
"Hypertension Causes &
Cure"
by Dr. Johann Georg Schnitzer
1) My Hypertension Story before
| Question |
Answer |
| Before I started to follow Dr.
Schnitzer's recommendations, I was suffering from hypertension for: |
1 year |
| My average blood pressure before starting any
medication
was (usually measured after rest in Millimeters/Mercury = mm/Hg, e.g.; "normal" blood pressure = 125/85 mm/Hg): |
170/100 |
| My complaints before starting
medication were (please describe in your words): |
No complaints. I liked to combine
medication with change in nutrition |
| At last, before starting with
Dr. Schnitzer's recommendations, the prescribed medication
was: |
| Remedy to take |
x times/day |
| Ternormin |
1 |
| Zocord |
1 |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| With this medication, and before
starting to follow Dr. Schnitzer's recommendations, my blood
pressure was (in millimeters/mercury = mm/Hg): |
140/85 |
| My complaints under this medication
were (please describe in your words): |
No complaints.
After one year of medication and improved nutrition my blood
pressure is now 127/70 at my age of 72. I also drink a couple of
glasses of red wine each day and walk briskly 7 kilometers every
second day. I will not stop the medication as I experience no side
effects what so ever. |

series of blood lettings consists of 6-10 times, once per week, taking
about 80-100 milliliters, not nore; aber that a pause of 12 weeks; if
necessary another series).

Final remarks about my experience with this change in my
life:

Annotation:
This patient's doctor found a smart compromise that could allow
both of them to survive, the doctor financially and the patient
physically: "Continue medication and live with healthy diet"
- but at the same time not supporting the patient too much with the
nutritional side of the coin.
Consequently the patient, not realizing the cleverness behind the
doctor's advice, applied the nutritional recommendations of the book
"Hypertension
Causes & Cure" only at about 50 % - enjoying at the same
time life and "a couple of glasses of red wine each day" (I
feel sorry for his liver!), and trying to compensate the remaining
nutritional faults and deficiencies by "... and walk briskly 7
kilometers every second day".
By that mixture of right and wrong, the patient brought his blood
pressure down (but still under medication) to 130/70 mm/Hg). He's
convinced: "Your recommendations are ok, but medication is still
important to live risk free."
What a false hope, to rely on medication to live risk-free:
Already in the year 1982, the results of an American-Canadian
long-term study, in which 22 clinical centers were involved, with
12,866 high-risk hypertonic patients - half of them (the intervention
group) treated with all medication, exercises and a diet "poor in
fat and calories" (means but rich in protein), the other half of
them (the control group) continuing their life as before - were
shocking the scientists who had carried out the study. They had
forecasted a reduction of 26,6 % of lethal events in the intervention
group. But the medical intervention resulted in 65 % higher
lethal (deadly) events in the intervention group, compared to the
control group, who didn't get any medical treatment and advice at all!
