Dedication

O{"rgtuqpcn"okuukqp"vq"jgnr"oknnkqpu"qh"rgqrng"gplq{"dgvvgt"jgcnvj"cpf"v-ness can be traced back to my youth.

On my 12th birthday, my Dad gave me an exercise book would forever im-

plant into my mind the importance of working out and paying attention to

diet and health.

Over the years I forgot the lessons in that book and became very unhealthy,

as did my good old Dad. Though, as fate would have it, that book stayed

with me, locked away in an old box. But even though I didnt have it on my

bookshelf...I always knew it was there.

When I hit my rock-bottom health-wise, I dug that old book out, and it re-

minded me of what was absolutely possible. It gave me the courage to make

permanent changes in my life, to reclaim control over my health, and it has

changed my life for the better.

The simple truth is that the human body was meant for far greater things

than just getting old and fat, and succumbing to silent killers like high blood

pressure.

So, I am dedicating this book to my Dad, who is the best living example of

how the principles contained in this book can completely reverse years of

dietary abuse and neglect.



Today, Dad plays full court basketball at the local YMCA 3 days a week with

men half his age, leg presses almost 3 times his bodyweight, and has text-

book perfect blood pressure readings.

And believe it or not, hes accomplished all of this just one year after being

told he could have a stroke at any minute due to chronic and extremely high

blood pressure readings.

Thanks Dad...for being such a great example to thousands of others, and for

being my biggest fan.

On behalf of the entire Primal Health team, I want to thank you for purchas-

ing the Blood Pressure Solution!

This guide is more than just a collection of commonly found advice; instead

it is a system that works together to tackle high blood pressure holistically

This guide was built out of necessity.

In 2011 my 65-year-old dad was in bad shape. His weight had slowly but

surely crept up the last several years. Also, his energy levels were very low...

and along with that came irritability and mood swings. As so often is the

ecug."o{"oqo"kpvwkvkxgn{"mpgy"vjcv"uqogvjkpi"ycu"wr0"

My mom had convinced him to visit a free local health fair to get a checkup.

Dad didnt like to go see doctors and she felt like this would be a way to at

least have a nurse check his basic vitals. Her hope was that everything was

ok, but she could sense that something was amiss with dads health. That

chvgtpqqp."cu"vjg"pwtug"rwv"vjg"dnqqf"rtguuwtg"ew"qp"jko"cpf"dgicp"vjg"process of taking his blood pressure reading, she got a strange look in her

eyes.



p"hcev."ujg"iqv"wuvgtgf"cpf"uvctvgf"vq"dctm"qwv"qtfgtu"vq"o{"rctgpvu0"Jgt"words to my dad went something like this:

Sir, you need to go to the emergency room right now. I mean right now...

immediately! Your blood pressure is so high you could have a stroke any

minute. Go now!

My parents knew she wasnt joking but Dad just hated the thought of going

vq"c"fqevqt"cpf"jcxkpi"vq"dg"rwv"qp"ugxgtcn"fkgtgpv"jkij"dnqqf"rtguuwtg"medications. He had watched his friend Steve go through this same thing

laugh at either.

So Dad convinced my mom to just take him home and let him try the natural

way to lower blood pressure.

Naturally, when I found out about my dads skyrocketing blood pressure re-

sults I had to share with him everything I had learned, and how a few simple

changes could get his blood pressure under control.

Jcxkpi"ktvgf"ykvj"jkij"dnqqf"rtguuwtg"o{ugnh"c"{gct"gctnkgt"vjcp"o{"fcf."and after experimenting with several approaches, I had stumbled across a

method of slightly altering my lifestyle, just slightly enough to get my blood

pressure back in the normal range.

The information I shared with him worked wonders, and this is not an

exaggeration in the least.

Today my dad is 66 yrs. old, works out at the local YMCA every day (some-

times twice a day), and has more energy and vitality that he had when he

was in his 40s.

I probably wouldn t be alive. Ive told Ken several tims: Ken s I look back in hindsight, you saved my life.



Now, I dont know if you bought this book because you wanted to yourself,

or if you had someone like my mom pushing you to take a serious look at

A Silent Epidemic

High blood pressure has been called the silent

killer. This is because much of the damage it

causes to your cardiovascular system, brain,

kidneys, and other organs does not immediately

present any noticeable signs such as pain or

discomfort. Instead, the insidious nature of high

blood pressure works silently to undermine your

health with devastating consequences.

Did you know that high blood pressure (hypertension) is indicated as either

the primary or contributing cause of death for over 1,000 deaths per day in

the United States alone?

Did you know that high blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke?

Did you know that high blood pressure is a major cause of heart attacks?

In the United States, over 31% of the adult population has high blood

pressure. Thats 1 in 3 adults! That works out to around 78 million people,

The Hidden Dangers of High Blood Pressure

Perhaps the most insidious thing about high blood

pressure is that fact that it presents almost no

symptoms that you can readily identify. Instead, it

silently works to undermine your health from the

inside out...often with devastating consequences.

" In fact, the list of life-threatening conditions that are

directly caused by high blood pressure is stunning.

Breaking Down Blood VesselsPerhaps the greatest damage that high blood pressure does is to damage

vjg"xguugnu"vjcv"oqxg"vjg"dnqqf"ctqwpf"{qwt"dqf{0"Vjku"ku"c"etkvkecn"vtcpu-port system that delivers oxygen and nutrients, and takes away carbon

dioxide and wastes.

p"rctvkewnct."jkij"dnqqf"rtguuwtg"cgevu"vjg"ctvgtkgu0"Vjgug"ctg"vjg"xguugnu"that take blood away from the heart to deliver oxygen and nutrition. They

are under a higher amount of pressure than that of the veins, which take

blood back to the heart.



Having constantly high pressure causes the cells that make up the inside of

your blood vessels to become damaged. They can actually become

jctfgpgf0"[qw"okijv"vjkpm"cv"tuv"vjcv"vjku"ocmgu"vjgo"uvtqpigt."dwv"kv"actually makes them weaker.

The tissue of the blood vessels needs to be elastic so that it can stretch

when pressure increases, and go back to its original shape when pressure

When you consume a lot of high processed foods, and your diet includes

hqqfu"eqpvckpkpi"qwt."uwict."cpf"cp{"qh"vjqug"ocpwhcevwtgf"hqqf/"nkmg"ingredients, all of that bad type of fat in your diet can collect in the

hardened areas of the arteries, and eventually cause blockages. Because

this system delivers blood to all parts of the body, blockages can cause

many of those parts to receive reduced amounts of nutrition and oxygen.

Its important to note that a high fat diet isnt the cause of blockages in your

arteries. Rather it is the combination of bad fats, in conjunction with

consuming high amounts of processed foods, which results in the killer

combination. In fact, recent studies show that a diet with higher fat content,

as long as processed foods are removed from the diet, can help bring a

persons overall health markers back into normal ranges.

Eventually blockages can lead to heart attacks, a condition where the heart

Hurting Your Heart While weve discussed how heart attacks can happen when arteries are

damaged, there are some other problems caused by high blood pressure

When you have high blood pressure, your kidneys can actually develop

scars. Within your kidneys are millions of tiny blood vessels that become

damaged when theyre exposed to constant high pressure.

You can also have an aneurysm in the blood vessels of your kidneys. This

type of aneurysm is very deadly due to the amount of blood that travels

through your kidneys. Because your entire blood supply passes through

them, you could die from massive internal bleeding.

Finally, you may develop kidney failure. Kidney failure is the inability of your

mkfpg{u"vq"nvgt"ycuvg"gkvjgt"dgecwug"qh"fcocig"vq"vjg"nctig"qt"vjg"uocnn"arteries that deliver blood to them.

When this happens you may have a buildup of toxins, as well as swelling,

fwg"vq"cp"kpetgcugf"coqwpv"qh"dqfkn{"wkfu0"Qxgt"vkog"{qw"oc{"tgswktg"dialysis. This is a necessary procedure that involves removing the blood

Ultimately, having kidney failure may result in the need for having a kidney

Brain DamageHigh blood pressure is also very bad for the brain. As we already discussed,

However, there are other problems associated with high blood pressure. For

example, people with high blood pressure are at a greater risk for dementia.

This can come as a result of not having enough oxygen being delivered to

the brain.

You can also have impairment to your brain that keeps you from being able

to process information. The earlier in life that you begin to experience high

blood pressure, the greater the damage will become as you age.

Problems in the BedroomOne of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction in men is high

sexes are able to identify and prevent any problems of this nature.

In fact, treating high blood pressure often eliminates the need to take drugs,

such as Viagra, for sexual dysfunction. Your best bet for good sexual health

is maintaining good heart health.

other problems.



Eye Opening Issues[qwt"g{gu"ctg"cnuq"xgt{"ugpukvkxg"vq"ejcpigu"kp"{qwt"dnqqf"rtguuwtg0"Vjg"blood vessels of the eyes are very small and fragile, and are particularly

vulnerable to being damaged as a result of having high blood pressure.

When the retina is not correctly supplied with blood, it can become

damaged. You can have blurred vision, or even a complete loss of vision,

yjgp"dnqqf"rtguuwtg"iqgu"wpejgemgf0"

If you also have the secondary condition of diabetes, youre particularly at

risk for this type of problem. Diabetes and high blood pressure greatly

increase your risk of eye disease and loss of sight.

Additionally, you could face is blockage in the blood vessels leading to your

optic nerve. This, too, can lead to permanent blurred vision, and even blind-

ness. So its critical that you pay attention to your blood pressure to main-

tain good vision.
