We make a hibiscus drink on a regular basis. The flowers are bought at the market, boiled in water and strained. Add sugar and we have jamaica drink.

I don’t know if it’s related, but my BP is very low. The doc has to measure twice sometimes to make sure it’s not a erroneous reading.

Lower blood pressure????? I HATE TEA!

But...to lower blood pressure, how about...

1. Being completely financialy independant,

2. Possessing no genetic, serious illnesses,

3. Having a truthful, bright, vivacious, true, independant woman with you for the rest of your life,

4. performing moderate, constant exercise, and...

4. Having an endless source of excellent reading material.

OK...I've got number 4...kinda; and my local library fills the bill on number 5. #2 is shot...ah well.

I will never, ever get to number 1

...and number 3 does not exist...at least on this planet.

That is excellent! It probably works much better in formula than by itself. The Chinese have centuries of experience developing formulas. On the other hand some of the best ones have remained unchanged for centuries. The main thing is they work and are safe.

I’m lucky! My Doc is a Master! Ran an herbal hospital outside Shanghai for many years before emigrating. I no longer have to take Metformin for Type 2, nor Atenolol for BP. Diet also played a large part. I managed to lose(loose!) 50 pounds. I no longer have to walk with a cane. And that bad knee was fixed by the herbs 5 years before I lost the extra weight, although I’m sure the weight “loose” helps in the looong run. But, ya gotta find a good, experienced herbalist, preferably from the Mainland, not Taiwan or Hong Kong.

You have been fortunate to find him. I have a friend trained in TCM who doesn't practice but he is very skilled in diagnoses and has simply been generous in sharing his knowledge with me.

There are some very good westerners trained in TCM. One of his friends trained in it then went on to become a western doctor and then went into pharmaceutical research at Johns Hopkins. A brilliant man who still uses TCM for family and friends before using anything else.

My friend has cured several people I know of from Type 2 diabetes using a simple formula and diet changes. Their doctors are always stunned but tests show them to be completely clear. As you must well know it requires discipline on the patient's part. But your results speak to the value of that.

Here’s an interesting story: My Wife’s Mom in Shanghai had a stroke. She was treated with herbs. The Doctor injected some sort of Ginseng extract into certain acupoints. She recovered. But what’s interesting is that she also regained her hearing!

I heard about the hibiscus tea/blood pressure link a couple weeks ago (probably on Fox), so I ordered some Celebration Herbals Hibiscus from Web Vitamins.

Last I knew, my blood pressure is ok, but thought I'd try some anyway.

It's good.

That is fantastic. Love to hear that. My buddy has told me about a formula to be taken soon after a stroke but, goof that I am, I have forgotten what it is. It has been enough years now that I can ask him again without feeling like such a dork.

He has also described a very unusual needling technique for epileptic seizures. He wouldn't perform it or even have the special needle required to perform it. I'm sure only a very small number of practitioners would. Your guy sounds like one although he may have his own preferred methods. Ask him about the "golden needle" technique if you have that kind of rapport.
