Welcome to Lower Blood Pressure Drug Free
the website dedicated to helping people control their blood
pressure _naturally_.
What you _WON'T _find here: pills, gimmicks, overpriced gadgets or
unsubstantiated claims.
What you _WILL_ find here: the CLINICALLY PROVEN bottom line on
drug-free blood pressure control, _complete with free samples_.
We get asked all the time how in the world we created a drug-free
blood pressure control program. Before we take a closer look at the
program itself, here's the background...
I'm the type of guy that can't stand going to the doctor. I'd rather
be sick an extra day than put myself through going to a doctor's
office. In the summer of 2006, I was just about to turn 33 and
realized that I hadn't had a checkup since the summer of 1995. The
only reason why I'd gone back then was because I'd just got a job
teaching English in Japan and had to have a physical. That was my last
trip to the doctor and it was fine by me.
I was at the supermarket buying my (at the time) usual dinner of a
frozen pizza and beer when I walked past the "Free Blood Pressure
Check" machine next to the pharmacy. Hmm? I wonder what my blood
pressure is? Maybe instead of going to the doctor, I can do this and
put it off another ten years? I sat down for a quick check. The
numbers came out on the display and I checked the chart on the
machine. What?! This can't be right, there's no way I have high blood
pressure, I'm only 32! This machine must be broken. I hit the "start"
button again. This time the numbers came back even higher.
After that rude awakening, I broke down and made an appointment for
a real check-up. Sure enough, the picture wasn't good. Family history?
Straight down the line, high blood pressure on my mom's side. Diet?
Terrible. Exercise? Ha! When the doctor started to suggest blood
pressure drug programs I remember thinking "I'm only 33 and there is
no way in heck I'm going to have one of those pill containers
on my kitchen counter with the days marked on it." When I look back,
I'm grateful for that day because nothing's really been the same
since.
Right around the same time I was listening to some CDs by an
internationally renowned doctor. He was talking about the _health
benefits of breathing_. I remember thinking "Breathing? I breathe all
day and of course it's healthy - if I don't do it I die right?" Of
course, he wasn't just talking about "normal" breathing, he was
talking about some _specific patterns of slow, deep breathing_.
Intrigued but skeptical, I started to research this "deep
breathing" thing and found that there's actually considerable
supporting its health benefits - ranging from permanently reducing
blood pressure to helping control stress, anxiety, ADD, insomnia,
migraines, chronic pain, the list goes on. It turns out that slow,
deep breathing, when done properly and regularly, triggers the body to
break subconscious stress patterns.
The "deep breathing" involves patterns like "1:4:2". This means you
would inhale for a count of one, hold for a count of 4, and exhale for
a count of 2. IF YOU HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND DO SIMPLE SLOW
BREATHING PATTERNS FOR 15 MINUTES A DAY, 3 TO 4 DAYS A WEEK, THERE'S
AN 82% CHANCE YOU CAN _PERMANENTLY_ REDUCE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
Here's the catch. Breathing in set patterns like "1:4:2" is harder
than it sounds. First of all, counting in your head isn't exactly
relaxing - and for the method to work best you need to be very
relaxed. Second, within a minute or two of actually getting relaxed,
your mind starts to wander, you lose track of your "counts" and you
quit.
The problem is you can't get into deep relaxation and count in your
head at the same time - _it's asking your brain to do two completely
opposite things - relax and pay attention - at once_. I realized that
in order to _really relax_ and get the full benefits of this "deep
breathing," you need something to _keep time for you_ and _guide you_.
So I got to work composing some 'Guided Breathing' recordings of
various chimes and bells to tell me when to inhale and exhale. Sure
enough, this 'Guided Breathing' idea did the trick - now I could
_really relax_ and _not have to count in my head_. I was happy with
the recordings, and even happier with their _amazing results on my
blood pressure_, _BUT SOMETHING WAS MISSING..._
Dana and I decided to get away for a bit and took a trip to the
beach. We sat there on the sand staring at the waves and just soaking
in the natural beauty. Just for fun, I tried to inhale as the waves
went out, and exhale as they came crashing in. The connection to the
waves, _BREATHING ALONG WITH THE RHYTHM OF NATURE_, was magical - the
deepest calm I had ever felt.
I realized that the 'missing something' from my Guided Breathing
recordings was all around me - _NATURE. _The best way to get the_
DEEPEST AND FASTEST RELAXATION_ is to _BREATHE WITH NATURE_.
That was the \"EUREKA!\" moment when our BREATHTAKING NATURE METHOD
series of audio programs was born.
The BREATHTAKING NATURE METHOD _combines_ the power of Guided
Breathing with beautiful, natural vacation destinations from all
around the world. You get to LOWER YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE while taking a
refreshing 15-MINUTE 'MINI VACATION' TO PARADISE! Imagine - a blood
pressure reduction method that's _easy_, _fun_, _rejuvenating_, has_

"Hi Andy 16(6):484-7
"I'm blown away that this method isn't common knowledge. I tell
friends and it's like they think I'm crazy - until they try it and it
works for them too. Great program, great customer service, keep it
up." John Day, Ocala, FL
We must warn you, BREATHTAKING NATURE does have some side effects:
Lasting relaxation
Greatly reduced stress
Increased energy (from higher oxygen intake)
Better, more restful sleep
Increased feeling of well-being
Improved mental focus and clarity
GUIDED BREATHING, a closer look:
The traditional solution for high blood pressure is expensive
drugs...
We _treat__ the __symptoms_ and _ignore the cause_.
It's like putting a band-aid on top of a thorn - wouldn't it make
more sense to remove the thorn first?
What modern medicine largely ignores is the amazing power of our
bodies to heal themselves.
BREATHTAKING NATURE is a specially designed Guided Breathing program
that harnesses the same power of the drugs - naturally.
What causes high blood pressure? A key factor is simple
over-constriction of the blood vessels. Our bodies are in "overdrive"
from the stresses of our lives.
The key is to stop the overdrive. You just need to 'tell' your blood
pressure to go down. BREATHTAKING NATURE shows you how 'ask'.
The body has some codes - like a combination lock. You just need to
learn the simple combinations and you can unlock natural release
mechanisms that you had no idea were there.
Taking pills is one way - but they are expensive, and have . Most
dangerous of all - they merely COVER UP THE REAL UNDERLYING ISSUES and
let them get worse. For a tiny fraction of their cost and with only
very positive side effects, BREATHTAKING NATURE will show you how to
unlock natural stress relief.
BREATHTAKING NATURE shows you how to control your previously
uncontrolled "automatic" subconscious reactions. You will learn how to
_reverse the negative feedback loops that contribute to high blood
pressure_.
How could something as simple as _breathing_ control blood pressure?
As with so much in medicine, we know that it works, but the precise
mechanisms aren't fully understood. There are four main theories:
1) One theory is that it’s actually not so much about relaxation
and has more to do with helping the body get salt out. When people are
under stress, they tend to take shallow breaths. This “inhibitory
breathing” in turn makes the blood more acidic and makes the kidneys
less efficient at removing sodium from the blood.
In of the National Institute of Health, inhibitory breathing was
linked to elevated salt and higher blood pressure.
“If you sit there under-breathing all day, as most people do, and
you have high salt intake, your kidneys may be less effective at
getting rid of salt,” said Anderson.
When people do slow, deep breathing, “They may be changing their
blood gases and the way their kidneys are regulating salt,” Anderson
hypothesizes.
2) Another theory is that Guided Breathing increases nitric oxide
transmission in our blood. “Nitric oxide is a substance that helps
keep our blood vessels open,” says Dr. Elijah Saunders, head of
hypertension research at the University of Maryland School of
Medicine’s Cardiology Department.
The endothelium cells (the inner lining of our blood vessels) use
nitric oxide to tell the muscles that surround them to relax. This
process is known as “vasodilation” and results in increased blood
flow.
In , of the UC Irvine College of Medicine, high blood pressure was
linked with impaired nitric oxide pathways. It appears that Guided
Breathing may help keep our bodies' nitric oxide levels in better
balance - allowing our blood vessels to relax naturally.
3) A third theory is that slow, deep breathing helps us oxygenate.
Our brains are only 2% of our body weight yet they consume 20% of the
oxygen we inhale.
“Slight changes in oxygen content in the brain can alter the way a
person feels and behaves,” says , author of Change Your Brain,
Change Your Life.
The shallow breaths associated with stress and negative emotions
don’t allow us to get enough oxygen. “The oxygen content in the
stressed person’s blood is lowered,” says Dr. Amen, leading to
more stress in a downward spiral.
The answer is to break the cycle by recognizing when our shallow
breathing isn’t serving our best interests. Slow, deep breathing
gives our body the oxygen it needs and signals the body to get things
back in balance.
4) The fourth theory centers around a concept known as
"entrainment." This is the tendency of the brain to mimic a stimulus.
For example, when you hear slow, mellow Jazz, the electrical currents
in your brain will get calm too. It's thought that through slow, deep
breathing, your brain takes a cue to break the stress cycle.
The fascinating thing is that the break in the stress cycle _isn't
just temporary_. After a few weeks of regular deep relaxation
practice, the "calm" centers of our brains start to become
_permanently_ more active.
at the University of Wisconsin-Madison compared brain activity and
immune response in two groups: "deep relaxation" vs. control group.
The "deep relaxation" group showed increased immune response and
increased activity in the left prefrontal cortex (associated with
positive temperament) of the brain. It appears that regular relaxation
isn't temporary - _it actually helps the brain rewire_.
"What we've found is that the [deep relaxation] trained mind, or
brain, is physically different from the untrained one," says Davidson.
Theory aside, the great news is that we know Guided Breathing works.
Double-blind clinical trials have shown reductions of up to 36
POINTS DIASTOLIC AND 20 POINTS SYSTOLIC.
The BREATHTAKING NATURE methodology is endorsed and/or taught by
Harvard Medical School, The Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Rush
Presbyterian Hospital, The American Heart Association and other
leading medical institutions.
How long does BREATHTAKING NATURE last?
You will feel results from your first 15 minute session.
You will get results that last throughout the day in 4 to 6 weeks.
You've heard the expression "objects in motion tend to stay in
motion."
The same is true of our emotional states. When we experience a
stress trigger, the body will continue to show subconscious stress
reactions long after the trigger is gone.
The secret is to do a "pattern interrupt."
It's like a switch inside us that's either on "stress" or "calm".
The BREATHTAKING NATURE method will show you how to turn stress off -
and keep "calm" on.
Relaxation CDs are great.
But... they don't show you how to _unlock the magic codes of your
body_.
The BREATHTAKING NATURE METHOD teaches Guided Breathing - the
specific patterns for breaking the "stress response" and triggering
the "relaxation response."
This is a life-changing skill.
The BREATHTAKING NATURE METHOD includes 7 audio programs, 80 minutes

Ready to give it a listen? Here are some samples.
A few tips and notes:
1) Feel free to take a quick look at the for tips and some basic
safety precautions.
2) In the full version of the program, the first thing we do is find
your "personal relaxation zone" - your unique breath rates that give
you the deepest relaxation. For these samples, it's best to start at 8
breaths per minute - if that pace is too fast, just skip down to a
slower pace. On the full version, you're in complete control of the
pace of the breathing cues.
3) Please be sure to hit the "pause" button before moving on to the
next sample (if you don't, the samples with play over each other).
4) Headphones sound best. The small speakers on most computers will
leave you missing out on a lot of the sounds in the recordings. Also,
we set the volume on these samples a little loud - there's a volume
control slider under the 'play' button to turn it down if you want.
5) Please keep in mind that these samples are just small snippets -
they're just meant to give you a feel for how the system sounds -
without spoiling the show when you get the full version.
