I have never met Dr. McDougall in person. However in 2013 on a fluke I watched his video on the paleo diet . I thought he was pro paleo and i was mad at first but the longer I listen to him i was converted to the low fat vegan lifestyle. I have read all his books and watch at least 100 of his videos. Thank you Dr. McDougall for changing my life.
Thanks for letting me know that long term use of Blood pressure medicines cause dementia, fractures, kidney disease etc etc. Its way better to treat hypertension with food changes and lifestyle changes. Thanks to McDougall for dedicating his life to educate the population of the earth.
You are doing humanity a big favour , Dr McDougall. We truly appreciate that. I have benefited so much from your lectures. You are a great creation of God.
Helpful video even for first timers, hope all the hypertension patients had this information. But regular doctors will never guide this way. Many thanks to Dr. Mc Dougall for guiding me.
@ about 1:02-1:05 you misspoke by saying high blood pressure doesn’t lead to heart attack. All the studies show it does. I’m hoping it was more like a hiccup.
Many thanks to Dr. McDougall for his contribution to society. This is a real question, not a sarcastic one: If hypertension is just a symptom and blood pressure medications do not address the root cause, why do meds reduce incidence of stroke?
Thank you doc, I'm indebted to you this is such invaluable info. On your last BP/HTN video I asked for the info from the Cochrane Collab, and the British organization, and you came through and provided it here in the middle of the video, thank you!!! My doc wanted to put me on BP meds, I was like "hell no!"...this info you provided was excellent....from your info, it shows that I shouldn't be on BP meds
Could not find source for some info - is video outdated? From Harvard Health: In 2017, new guidelines from the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and nine other health organizations lowered the numbers for the diagnosis of hypertension (high blood pressure) to 130/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and higher for all adults. The previous guidelines set the threshold at 140/90 mm Hg for people younger than age 65 and 150/80 mm Hg for those ages 65 and older.
Yes, they moved the goal posts for blood pressure. I’ve been following this topic. I had high BP but after 6 weeks on a WFPB, SOS diet It went to normal range and lower.
I have fixed the food, I have eaten WFPB for months, no processed food, lost a lot of weight, and I have low cholesterol numbers. But my BP is still very high. What is causing the continuing problems with my arteries and veins? Any ideas? TIA!
I wish I could find a dr. who would work with me on this! I stopped my BP med after losing 43 lbs as my BP went down. After three months it went back up to 160/90 and my dr put me back on medication. I am following pb diet and have no idea why my BP went higher. I am 75 years old.
Hi John from uk Absolutely love your channel I’m truly honest when I say you’ve change my life.. I’ve recently had my bloods taken and it says my hdl is low at 0.95? Is this true? I’m a really healthy chap with lots of excersie and eat really well. I’m 5’11 and 11 stone 5. Is there any advice you can give me please. Many many thanks 🇬🇧
My doctor told me that I’m taking hypertension medicine for rest of my life because my family has running high blood pressure. Can I stop taking my medicine. I stopped drink coffee and low sodium and walking also watching what I eating. Help me…please

i miss dr mcdougall - He was the best
What is never addressed about high blood pressure is sleep apnea. Why not? It put strain on your cardiovascular system.

I always love to watch your wise comments, especially the one of colonoscopy.

Similar here - except years. Finally went on meds, which lowered the pressure. I’m wondering if some people are born with narrower blood vessels.
Do you exercise? Salt intake? Stress? Eating too much fat?

I think insulin resistance plays a big role, starch can keep insulin levels high
Thank You so much for sharing your wisdom!!!
Fantastic..,thank you Dr. McDougall!

Sadly, in the west, we treat our soils as badly as our bodies...
Fact
What about wrist Bp machines are they accurate ?
Better off with the upper arm cuff, you can get a decent one on Amazon for $20-$25
WOW priceless.

Yes, Absolutely True
Moderation still kills

That's why , I am 💯% Pure vegan.

You can have your coffee.
