As a physician I totally agree with you…. I am semi retired and see that medicine has become a disease management system. Not about health. There are only a few people who have special conditions : end stage kidney, pheochromsatoma etc. that will need pharmacological treatments. Make sure you are measuring your own blood pressure correctly. Then exercise, lose weight Breathing protocols and reduced stress, reduce sugars and seed oils. Eat whole food drop the processed foods. Make sure you get minerals and vitamins levels back to normal and maintain these…supplements help but food is better.
About two months ago I released my boyfriend, stopped drinking alcohol, changed my diet with more fruits and veggies, a lot less meats, started focusing just on my own inner healing process and have lost 30 pds. Yahoo. I have started walking to. I will absolutely follow a lot of your blessed suggestions 🎉
I did the opposite of you. I threw out everything but steak and eggs. Went from 260 to 190 pounds in 5 months and BP Went from 160/90 to 115/70. It works different for everyone but this was the fastest way for me to get BP under control
Greetings from the Eastern Sierra! I’m 70 and none of this stuff was on my radar.. until it was…. starting about a year ago. It’s probably a familiar story but it kind of snuck up on me. I started monitoring my BP last January. Your stuff is legit and it’s been a great help. My doc was stoked when I showed her my daily log 6 months ago. A year ago, I was 157/96 at 63 BPM. When I sit for a bit and get relaxed, I’m consistently ≤ 120/80 with a HR of 60 BPM …. Thanks!
63, never smoked, never been overweight, drink very occasionally. BP was elevated. I now walk an hour a day, use BP supplements, have steadily reduced my BP to normal, it’s still got to come down, but it was come down. Thank you!

Dear Adam, this video is the holy grail of all the videos on TH-cam. It summarised everything a person needs to know in 31minutes and gives us the mental road map on how to become metabolically healthy. As a result of watching your channel in the last four months I've gone from 307 pounds to 242 pounds. My goal is to reach 190 pounds by the end of the year. I love your videos Adam and hope to meet you someday. Thank you everything you've done for us!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
I was in this position. I ignored him and slowly weaned myself off BP meds a milligram at a time every two weeks. My BP is now 120/78 because i changed my diet and took up gym or walking every other day
Good for you! And shame on the Dr who, instead of supporting and guiding you to health naturally, tried to keep you hooked on the drugs he was pushing.
@@lovealwaysjasmine yes. I was on 6 mg which was a 4 mg and 2 mg tablet. For a month or so I reduced to 4 mg tablet, then for a few weeks I took my remaining 2mg tablets then I cut those in half and did 1 mg for a few weeks then stopped. That was my experience and under the purview of my doctor. I did ignore the initial advice which was to stay on the meds but everything I did I made sure my surgery were kept up to date with my choices and I spoke with my dr several times. Don’t just make a rash decision and remember all meds are different with different effects etc so don’t follow me. I read back my original post which was true and honest but came across as reckless and arrogant so just thought I’d update
I have done a somewhat modified ketogenic diet for 10 months, with intermittent fasting for 16 hours a day, and have lost 62 pounds, and am now off of my blood pressure medication. I do try to walk 20 minutes 4 times a week.
I've lost 130lbs and dropped a number of blood pressure meds, but it took gastric bypass to get there. I'll probably end up staying on some medications for the rest of my life, but that's because of a big history of hypertension in my family, regardless of weight. I've been on some level of blood pressure medication since my late teens, but I used to be a competitive swimmer, and some of it may have been exercise induced; then I kept eating like a competitive swimmer and gained a bunch of weight (but I was never thin either and would have been considered overweight from muscle mass). There's a number of family members that are normal weight or even on the low end of normal weight that still have elevated blood pressure. My doctor doesn't like to overmedicate, because of the side effects, they're quality of life impacting. As I was losing weight he said to call him when average readings went below 110/60 or there were bouts of orthostatic hypotension, because he was going to pull medication. I'm certain I was addicted to food, specifically the dopamine response from overeating. Having ADHD didn't help that, since all of us with it are deficient on dopamine. A tip for those who are overeating like I was I learned from my surgeon: when you're eating, if your nose starts to run a little, stop eating. It's one of the signs of satiety (Assuming you're not eating something spicy 😅). My diet post-surgery is focused on protein as the first priority, with vegetables being the second priority, and making sure that carbohydrates aren't too crazy. I track total carbohydrates, not net; fiber carbohydrates from leafy and cruciferous vegetables aren't counted, that's the exception. Basically ask yourself the question when you're eating: what is the nutritive value of this food? Something highly processed that's full of carbohydrates with virtually no protein doesn't really provide any value to your body, if you want something sweet as a snack, eat some fruit. Gastric bypass works well for me, as a tool to solve my overeating problem, if I try to overeat I become exceptionally uncomfortable from the reduced stomach volume. The people that fail gastric bypass typically end up overindulging on carbohydrates, which are called slider foods, because it's very easy for them to just slide down the digestive tract and overindulge. They don't trigger satiety like protein rich foods and vegetables. I recommend getting blood work- a comprehensive metabolic panel to check your vitamin levels and other various things. My family tends to be naturally anemic, so even as a guy I need to take iron supplements. If I don't, I feel tired, and my blood pressure goes up a little bit, probably because of reduced oxygen carrying capability, the heart is working a little bit harder. I was also low on vitamin d, and it took months of supplementation to get to a normal level. Sorry for the information dump, it's a characteristic of us ADHD folks; in my day job I'm a scientist.
Thank you for your video on taking your own blood pressure and pointing out the main points that you need to follow to get correct results thank you much appreciated.
Thank you for this video, I'm border line risk of high blood pressure I'm probably dealing with tachycardia and I'm goin to a cardiologist to check and see but your video really inspired me to stand strong and believe that I can reverse my blood pressure risk, I actually believed I couldn't change it but the universe guides me to this video to show me I'm still in control of my destiny! My diet is very clean but I'm indeed not taking advantage of my carbohydrates sadly, my tachycardia symptoms has been plaguing me with anxiety but I'm working threw it and I wanna exercise and further change my life, I don't smoke or drink and 5'9 220 pounds I'm in a good spot to make changes at 32 years old.
That is hilarious 😂😂! The picture! Thought process and discipline! Sometimes ya gotta laugh, and see how long you can go without obsessing Doc! I have the same problem!
It sounds very simple! I am really going to focus on this. I need to finally truly focus on healing. It sounds so simple, but as you said - we have to actually do it and stick to it. I really like your simple, realistic, no nonsense approach.
Wow! This may be your best video and that is saying a lot because you have had some really good ones. It is almost as if you were siting with me in my doctor's office as he emphasized the importance of taking BP medication and dismissing the life style changes I have implemented. Which I think are working because this mornings BP was 123/ 78. I am still taking 1/2 pill in the morning but hope to reduce that as well. I look forward to your next video!
Love what you say after the 27-minute area. Do what you can for you, then help those who don't have what you have. The pro/con part is awesome, I do that, and mind-mapping as well. Great way to solve many things.
I really was impressed by the breathing exercises, yes it makes a huge difference to blood pressure. Thanks for such an informative video. Visualization is very important as well in regards the mental aspect. Positive attitude, looking for the positive in any situation, and living in the moment as much as you can. Thanks, Adam.
I watched a couple of your older videos and caught my interest. I really like the way you approach 'change', by keeping it simple and encourage consistency. I am going to take your advice, which I incidentally, already knew, but I got lazy, so thank you so much, this was the push I needed.
Thank you very much Dr Storey. I love your interaction and explanation. So strange to hear you mention of of pressure taken on the the left arm . For all these five years ived been having my blood pressure checked by a Doctcr on the right arm . Never know it made a difference . Now l know you are the best. ❤🎉😊❤❤🎉
You are Awesome and super duper funny. I was doing Qi gong and I noticed a video of yours on exercises so I'm very excited that I did. Thanks so very much for your awesome assistance
This is the kinda doctor that is able to think for himself and not just push the mainstream medical system diet but is also saying you can have different diets that will help. Not biased
I am on THREE blood pressure meds. My blood pressure stays around 160/85.....just BREATHING properly...1234 on the in....hold slightly....12345 on the out for FIVE or SIX minutes and I am at 137/75 or MAYBE a point or two higher. THAT is STUNNING to me. I am doing it OVER AND OVER and it works EVER time. WHY does my doctor not tell me things like this?? STUNNING results just learning to deep breath. My doctor says she just doesn't know why it stays high...HOW MANY people have just trained themselves to SHALLOW breath and THAT is a major problem. GREAT video.
I've done the deep breathing method .....definitely works Too bad when you go to to dr office they won't tell you or give you a chance to do the deep breathing technique They just want to give you more pills 💊 😔 😪
@@theotherhouse5910 ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Doctors are just working for big Parma in my opinion...the more pills they sell the more perks they get from pharma companies. It's a multi- BILLION dollar scam and WE or the government are paying it.
Hi Dr. Adam, I'm Asif from india. I find your videos really interesting and worth watching. I used to be on BP medication right from my early 30s. But last 4 years I have completely stopped my medication after following Keto/carnivore diet. But sometimes when I tend to eat more carbs my BP goes up but that's also not too much. Nevertheless I also like to point out that about the extreme diet what you pointed is actually great way to detoxify ones body. As a Muslim we are following such an obligatory dry fast like you mentioned for a month known as Ramadan.
I used supplements with jogging/walking 20 minutes a day and I think it worked for me: Larginine with l citrulline Ashwagandha Vitamin D 5000IU HMB Fish oil Black garlic Magnesium Spirulina I quited caffeine and went low carb with whole green vegis especially spinach in 1 meal at least, that worked significantly for my BP in 3 months
Magnesium bisglycinate help bring 2 of my daughters BP down to normal during their pregnancies. It's a pricier option but one of the most effective forms to take. @lorkmikko
Thanks for all the advice. I am going to adopt your suggestions . Changing of the diet and managing stress would be the hardest of all the solutions for me .
Great video!❤ I’m new to your channel! I’ll try this to lower BP! Thanks for sharing! California here. 🕊🙏🏻🧂😇💕I do only full fat none of this low fat, non fat stuff. Food is medicine
@@AdamJStoryDCTrust me Lol, but I’ve watched everyone’s vlogs and read many health studies. Bottom Line is MD’s are brainwashed by Pharma and that often comes w other Risk factors.
I quit smoking in 1981. I then joined a gym and I even was an aerobic instructor till I was 40 years old. But I have had headaches since I was in my late 20’s and then I got high blood pressure and have been on Metoprolol since my mid 30’s. I’m 67. Now menopause put 30 pounds on me. I’m doing cardio and weights and eating healthy. My CAC score is 142 and I broke down and started taking a statin. I try not to eat red meat because colon cancer runs in my family. Plus I’m afraid it will raise my cholesterol.
Thankyou for that interesting video.im from uk i refused ti take medication fir high blood pressure as they caused swollen ankles.i take it reguler with a home moniter and its always normal.😊
This video goes along with how I chose to eat 5 food groups, Meat, Green veggies, organic eggs, organic butter/cheese and nuts/seeds. No fruit, nothing cooked in oil or made from flour or sugar and no artificial sweetners of any kind. Only drink distilled or mineral water and tea. Coffee enema twice wk. Works great for me, lost weight and got off of BP meds.
@@AASA76 8 Things You Need to Know Before Trying a Coffee Enema 1. The purpose of coffee enemas is to stimulate the liver to increase its detoxification of the blood and decrease the toxic load on the liver. This includes removing a variety of toxins and free radicals from the bloodstream. They assist the liver so as not to overburden an already sluggish and toxic liver with the flood of toxins dislodged from the clean, nutrient-dense food and juice of the Gerson Therapy. They are a required component of the Gerson Therapy’s treatment system. 2. They are not for everyone. Coffee enemas are not recommended unless under strict supervision of an experienced Gerson Practitioner if any of the following exist: a. Currently undergoing chemotherapy b. Renal, cardiac or respiratory failure c. Bleeding and/or ulceration in the colon tract d. Ulcerative Colitis e. Crohn’s disease f. Ileostomy (no colon) g. Hypertension and/or tachycardia h. Pregnant (consult with your primary physician or Gerson Practitioner) i. Acute or ongoing chronic diarrhea until investigated by a physician j. First 6-8 weeks post-surgery (always check with your primary physician or Gerson Practitioner) 3. The coffee solution is not held in the liver. In fact, it’s held in the colon. The vessels in the lower part of the descending colon and rectum carry the solution to the liver. The potent compounds in coffee are absorbed by the hemorrhoidal and mesenteric veins that route to the liver. 4. The coffee enema itself does not produce bile. The coffee does cause some stimulation of the liver to produce bile, but it’s the potent compounds including caffeine, theobromine and theophylline that dilate blood vessels, bile ducts and relax smooth muscles, increasing the flow of bile. 5. Electrolytes are lost during evacuation, and therefore coffee enemas should always be balanced by juice. The typical ratio is 3:1 (three, 8 oz. juices for each coffee enema). Those not on a Gerson Therapy protocol should drink plenty of water. 6. The body does not become dependent on coffee enemas to have a bowel movement. Upon completion of the Gerson Therapy, patients have no issues generating bowel movements without coffee enemas. 7. A variety of coffee is appropriate for use, ranging from gold, green and white, to light and medium roasts. Dark roasts are not appropriate because the potent compounds have been roasted out. Gold, green or white beans are very potent, with light to medium roasts typically well-tolerated by most. If you are new to coffee enemas, green, gold or white beans may not be best to start with. Instead, start with a medium or light roast. Coffee must be organic and we recommend fair-trade, sustainable coffee. 8. Dr. Gerson did not invent coffee enemas. Coffee enemas have appeared in medical writings dating back to ancient Egypt and have been cited in case reports and articles from the late 1800s¹. REMINDER: Always check with your primary care physician or licensed medial professional before attempting a coffee enema. If you have a chronic disease or cancer and are considering the Gerson Therapy, please work with our Gerson Practitioner Network to receive a personalized protocol and ongoing case management.

This was a really great video today, thank you! Lots of good information and the appreciation part at the end is much needed.... people often complain about first world problems and need to take a moment to reflect.
I found that my blood pressure dropped dramatically after doing breathing exercises every day after which I go stand outside and look around our garden - just taking note of what I'm seeing/looking at 5 minutes max and then a few simple exercises.
Isn't it amazing how the simplest things can make a profound difference. Much better to spend a few minutes everyday doing the, in actuality, very easy and safe things you're doing, than to have to take prescription drugs with all of their risks and side effects.
I just modify the Norwegein workout to 2 minute workouts on an indoor cycling machine, with a 2 minute break. the resistance is set to 75% and the cycle rate is 92. I usually do this for 6-10 miles with no issues, afterward.
great encouragement, who says dang namit...lol.... i have done keto, lowcarb for weight, it worked, its a focus....hard to maintain. your diet info is logical, be reasonable, get rid of sugars, processed foods, junk...our stores are full of this cheap foods, SAD is real, we can make better choices for health.
Just to clarify ... Low-carb encompasses different methods. Atkins was low-carb, high protein, high fat (Dr. Atkins modified it slightly to be slightly lower in fat). Keto (LCHF) is very low carb, moderate protein, high fat. Intermittent fasting is not necessarily low-carb, although in my case it is because I have PCOS and insulin resistance. However, I know a number of people who don't do low-carb but do intermittent fasting, and they've lost weight and improved their blood lipids.
First time I listen to a Dr. That shared many suggestions for viewers. You talked about choices and different types of diets because many Drs here are becoming confusing suggesting their own diet. Others criticise diets. I find that the way you put it makes so much sense. I go to the gym 5 days a week and besides that I walk of run 3 to 4 days as well. I meditate, do deep breathing and eat and very healthy diet and now shows that my blood sugar is high,.....I do not know what to do any longer. I am a pescatarian but do only a few fish and they are wild caught. I eat lots of vegies and salads. I do avoid almost all sugar.....where am I going wrong??? Who knows...MINDY
This is such a down to earth common sense video. Symplistic. Great! Sympliciry eludes people today. Picture frame 😅 😅😅 Been there did that at my Dr. Office. Ouldn't help it. Right in front of me whole time. Had to straighten it. Do it at home to. Things move on there own from vibration. Kids, dogs, you get it.😅😅😅
Excellent vid as always. Are you aware of Olive Leaf Extract supplement? I take one of these per day and it reduces my blood pressure by 15-20 points. Initially it takes about 2 weeks to take full effect.
Im 77 and walk about 8000 steps a day and my weight is good i weigh 76kg. I have hypertension but my bp goes up every eve. I dont smoke or drink. My bp goes up to 170/84
I got a puppy and my dog likes to walk and walk. Everything hurt when I started my back my knees but I kept at even in the winter yike. Now I am walking four to five miles on most days lost 25 pounds regained muscle mass I am 66 and never felt better. I am now off my blood pressure meds totally. Yeah just start five minutes a day. Thanks
Good advice but one thing which made me smile was your comment "when you go outside daily your usually going to get more sunlight" ... I live in the UK and most days you're going to get more grey sky and quite probably rain but thanks for the cheery thought. 😊
I was on BP medication because the visa application in NZ required that.. as soon as I had my permanent visa I stopped taking those nasty pills. I'm on a healthy weight, do grounding and walking I'm eating healthy, exercise, take supplements and have white coat syndrome. I am feeling great
Am on medication So how do l do it When during the natural way Should l stop the medicine or do both.take the medicine and do the natural way.kindly advice
As for diet, start with one change. For example, put a bigger portion of meat (or other protein) on your plate. Followed by a medium portion of veggies. And finally, a smaller portion of carbs than you normally would. Big changes begin with small steps.
I exercise in inside I am a member of the silver sneakers and I exercise for about fifteen minutes every other day and it seem to help lower my blood pressure and help with my weight

Do what you can for you, then help those who don't have what you have.
The pro/con part is awesome, I do that, and mind-mapping as well. Great way to solve many things.
I love your down to earth but analytical take on this. Thank you.
Monumentally useful information and presented with exceptional wit 😂 Muchas gracias 👏
Thank you so much, Dr. You put everything in proper perspective.
😅 You crack me up. I love who you are
I really was impressed by the breathing exercises, yes it makes a huge difference to blood pressure. Thanks for such an informative video. Visualization is very important as well in regards the mental aspect. Positive attitude, looking for the positive in any situation, and living in the moment as much as you can. Thanks, Adam.
I watched a couple of your older videos and caught my interest. I really like the way you approach 'change', by keeping it simple and encourage consistency. I am going to take your advice, which I incidentally, already knew, but I got lazy, so thank you so much, this was the push I needed.
Love your humour, Dr Story!
Thank you very much Dr Storey. I love your interaction and explanation. So strange to hear you mention of of pressure taken on the the left arm . For all these five years ived been having my blood pressure checked by a Doctcr on the right arm . Never know it made a difference . Now l know you are the best. ❤🎉😊❤❤🎉
Never use Vegetable/Seed Oils, Never.
Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Almond Oil, Butter 👍
Great info I currently exercise, & after watching your video I know what adjustments to make. I'll track my progress on this site..
You are Awesome and super duper funny. I was doing Qi gong and I noticed a video of yours on exercises so I'm very excited that I did. Thanks so very much for your awesome assistance
Awesome! Thank you!
Find these videos so informative and interesting. Thx ❤
Exceptional youtube! Doctor Adam , you do an outstanding job for all of us! Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Reading The Psalms in The Bible calms me, especially reading the beautiful promises God has made for us in Psalm 103.
Amen. Ps 104:14 Grass for the cattle: herb for the service of man❤😊

Best info ever.. thank you so much🙏💚❗️👏👏👏
Thanks again. Your videos and advice are so down to earth and sensible!!
You are so welcome!
This is the kinda doctor that is able to think for himself and not just push the mainstream medical system diet but is also saying you can have different diets that will help. Not biased
Thx for the outline of what meals might look like. Found the book at my public library & downloaded it.
Wonderful!
Thank you for the inf.
I am on THREE blood pressure meds. My blood pressure stays around 160/85.....just BREATHING properly...1234 on the in....hold slightly....12345 on the out for FIVE or SIX minutes and I am at 137/75 or MAYBE a point or two higher. THAT is STUNNING to me. I am doing it OVER AND OVER and it works EVER time. WHY does my doctor not tell me things like this?? STUNNING results just learning to deep breath. My doctor says she just doesn't know why it stays high...HOW MANY people have just trained themselves to SHALLOW breath and THAT is a major problem. GREAT video.
Try a little Celtic salt
With a glass of water☺️
@@kathleenking47 really
I've done the deep breathing method .....definitely works
Too bad when you go to to dr office they won't tell you or give you a chance to do the deep breathing technique
They just want to give you more pills 💊 😔 😪
@@theotherhouse5910 ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Doctors are just working for big Parma in my opinion...the more pills they sell the more perks they get from pharma companies. It's a multi- BILLION dollar scam and WE or the government are paying it.
@@kathleenking47 Thanks for posting that. It got me digging. I'm going to try it. What do you think it did for you?
Hi Dr. Adam, I'm Asif from india. I find your videos really interesting and worth watching. I used to be on BP medication right from my early 30s. But last 4 years I have completely stopped my medication after following Keto/carnivore diet. But sometimes when I tend to eat more carbs my BP goes up but that's also not too much. Nevertheless I also like to point out that about the extreme diet what you pointed is actually great way to detoxify ones body. As a Muslim we are following such an obligatory dry fast like you mentioned for a month known as Ramadan.
🎉ha have been following you through my BP and anxiety journey and l also downloaded the Dale Carnegie audiobook.
You are amazing Adam. Thanks a lot of this good video and information)). Take care
My pleasure!
Thank you Dr from the UK 🇬🇧
Very informative
I used supplements with jogging/walking 20 minutes a day and I think it worked for me:
Larginine with l citrulline
Ashwagandha
Vitamin D 5000IU
HMB
Fish oil
Black garlic
Magnesium
Spirulina
I quited caffeine and went low carb with whole green vegis especially spinach in 1 meal at least, that worked significantly for my BP in 3 months
That's awesome! What kind of magnesium are you taking?
@@lorkmikko I use 250 mg of "Elemental magnesium"
@@fashtaki1 thank you ! Have a great day !
Magnesium bisglycinate help bring 2 of my daughters BP down to normal during their pregnancies. It's a pricier option but one of the most effective forms to take. @lorkmikko
@@KatarinaS. thank you
Thanks for all the advice. I am going to adopt your suggestions . Changing of the diet and managing stress would be the hardest of all the solutions for me .
Great video!❤ I’m new to your channel! I’ll try this to lower BP! Thanks for sharing! California here. 🕊🙏🏻🧂😇💕I do only full fat none of this low fat, non fat stuff. Food is medicine
Perhaps the Best vlogs on being healthier.
Clear & Easy presentation 👍
Thank you so much 🙂
@@AdamJStoryDCTrust me Lol, but I’ve watched everyone’s vlogs and read many health studies. Bottom Line is MD’s are brainwashed by Pharma and that often comes w other Risk factors.
I quit smoking in 1981. I then joined a gym and I even was an aerobic instructor till I was 40 years old. But I have had headaches since I was in my late 20’s and then I got high blood pressure and have been on Metoprolol since my mid 30’s. I’m 67. Now menopause put 30 pounds on me. I’m doing cardio and weights and eating healthy. My CAC score is 142 and I broke down and started taking a statin. I try not to eat red meat because colon cancer runs in my family. Plus I’m afraid it will raise my cholesterol.
Thank you so much for your helpful videos! 😀
You are so welcome!
Thank u Dr. Stop your whining..love it. We all need to be reminded of this
Non stop good advice. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Excellent video!
Doctor Adam you are real and doing a great job god bless you keep up the good work
Stress is a big factor.
Absolutely agree 💯
Thankyou for that interesting video.im from uk i refused ti take medication fir high blood pressure as they caused swollen ankles.i take it reguler with a home moniter and its always normal.😊
Thank you for answering a question that I been questioning myself 🤔
This video goes along with how I chose to eat 5 food groups, Meat, Green veggies, organic eggs, organic butter/cheese and nuts/seeds. No fruit, nothing cooked in oil or made from flour or sugar and no artificial sweetners of any kind. Only drink distilled or mineral water and tea. Coffee enema twice wk. Works great for me, lost weight and got off of BP meds.

How do you use coffee enema? Is it safe
We're you high or low bp? Also any sugar issues?

8 Things You Need to Know Before Trying a Coffee Enema
1. The purpose of coffee enemas is to stimulate the liver to increase its detoxification of the blood and decrease the toxic load on the liver. This includes removing a variety of toxins and free radicals from the bloodstream. They assist the liver so as not to overburden an already sluggish and toxic liver with the flood of toxins dislodged from the clean, nutrient-dense food and juice of the Gerson Therapy. They are a required component of the Gerson Therapy’s treatment system.
2. They are not for everyone. Coffee enemas are not recommended unless under strict supervision of an experienced Gerson Practitioner if any of the following exist:
a. Currently undergoing chemotherapy
b. Renal, cardiac or respiratory failure
c. Bleeding and/or ulceration in the colon tract
d. Ulcerative Colitis
e. Crohn’s disease
f. Ileostomy (no colon)
g. Hypertension and/or tachycardia
h. Pregnant (consult with your primary physician or Gerson Practitioner)
i. Acute or ongoing chronic diarrhea until investigated by a physician
j. First 6-8 weeks post-surgery (always check with your primary physician or Gerson Practitioner)
3. The coffee solution is not held in the liver. In fact, it’s held in the colon. The vessels in the lower part of the descending colon and rectum carry the solution to the liver. The potent compounds in coffee are absorbed by the hemorrhoidal and mesenteric veins that route to the liver.
4. The coffee enema itself does not produce bile. The coffee does cause some stimulation of the liver to produce bile, but it’s the potent compounds including caffeine, theobromine and theophylline that dilate blood vessels, bile ducts and relax smooth muscles, increasing the flow of bile.
5. Electrolytes are lost during evacuation, and therefore coffee enemas should always be balanced by juice. The typical ratio is 3:1 (three, 8 oz. juices for each coffee enema). Those not on a Gerson Therapy protocol should drink plenty of water.
6. The body does not become dependent on coffee enemas to have a bowel movement. Upon completion of the Gerson Therapy, patients have no issues generating bowel movements without coffee enemas.
7. A variety of coffee is appropriate for use, ranging from gold, green and white, to light and medium roasts. Dark roasts are not appropriate because the potent compounds have been roasted out. Gold, green or white beans are very potent, with light to medium roasts typically well-tolerated by most. If you are new to coffee enemas, green, gold or white beans may not be best to start with. Instead, start with a medium or light roast. Coffee must be organic and we recommend fair-trade, sustainable coffee.
8. Dr. Gerson did not invent coffee enemas. Coffee enemas have appeared in medical writings dating back to ancient Egypt and have been cited in case reports and articles from the late 1800s¹.
REMINDER: Always check with your primary care physician or licensed medial professional before attempting a coffee enema. If you have a chronic disease or cancer and are considering the Gerson Therapy, please work with our Gerson Practitioner Network to receive a personalized protocol and ongoing case management.

Thank you for your guidance and honest reflections on life and how to manage it naturally
You are so welcome
This was a really great video today, thank you! Lots of good information and the appreciation part at the end is much needed.... people often complain about first world problems and need to take a moment to reflect.
Great information…I enjoy it. Will be implement it.
This was a very good video, thank you for sharing this interesting information
Glad you enjoyed it
I found that my blood pressure dropped dramatically after doing breathing exercises every day after which I go stand outside and look around our garden - just taking note of what I'm seeing/looking at 5 minutes max and then a few simple exercises.
Isn't it amazing how the simplest things can make a profound difference. Much better to spend a few minutes everyday doing the, in actuality, very easy and safe things you're doing, than to have to take prescription drugs with all of their risks and side effects.
Thanks you Doc for such an informative presentation. I hate pills so I am going to try some of the BP lowering technics you are suggesting.
I just modify the Norwegein workout to 2 minute workouts on an indoor cycling machine, with a 2 minute break. the resistance is set to 75% and the cycle rate is 92. I usually do this for 6-10 miles with no issues, afterward.
Thanks for this very inspirational video. I will try all three steps.
You can do it!
great encouragement, who says dang namit...lol.... i have done keto, lowcarb for weight, it worked, its a focus....hard to maintain. your diet info is logical, be reasonable, get rid of sugars, processed foods, junk...our stores are full of this cheap foods, SAD is real, we can make better choices for health.
oh good idea , I want to try the bp reads before and after deep breathing! it would be like a biofeedback! thank you very much.
Make a lot of sense very good video well done and I can identify with all he says good advice
Just to clarify ... Low-carb encompasses different methods. Atkins was low-carb, high protein, high fat (Dr. Atkins modified it slightly to be slightly lower in fat). Keto (LCHF) is very low carb, moderate protein, high fat. Intermittent fasting is not necessarily low-carb, although in my case it is because I have PCOS and insulin resistance. However, I know a number of people who don't do low-carb but do intermittent fasting, and they've lost weight and improved their blood lipids.
I like your approach an great advice wee strutured programme good job
Thanks for listening
Really great info thank you so much! 🌞👍
Glad it was helpful!
Love this video.
First time I listen to a Dr. That shared many suggestions for viewers. You talked about choices and different types of diets because many Drs here are becoming confusing suggesting their own diet. Others criticise diets. I find that the way you put it makes so much sense. I go to the gym 5 days a week and besides that I walk of run 3 to 4 days as well. I meditate, do deep breathing and eat and very healthy diet and now shows that my blood sugar is high,.....I do not know what to do any longer. I am a pescatarian but do only a few fish and they are wild caught. I eat lots of vegies and salads. I do avoid almost all sugar.....where am I going wrong??? Who knows...MINDY
Thanks for the information Doctor, this will really help a lot!
Love your lecture
This is such a down to earth common sense video. Symplistic. Great! Sympliciry eludes people today. Picture frame 😅
😅😅 Been there did that at my Dr. Office. Ouldn't help it. Right in front of me whole time. Had to straighten it. Do it at home to. Things move on there own from vibration. Kids, dogs, you get it.😅😅😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
Refreshing to see this..wish docs had to learn nutritional health and life style changes
Fantastic advice!!!! Thank you
You are so welcome!
Excellent vid as always. Are you aware of Olive Leaf Extract supplement? I take one of these per day and it reduces my blood pressure by 15-20 points. Initially it takes about 2 weeks to take full effect.
Im 77 and walk about 8000 steps a day and my weight is good i weigh 76kg. I have hypertension but my bp goes up every eve. I dont smoke or drink. My bp goes up to 170/84
Bp is usually highest in the morning after rising. Could there be something you are doing in the evenings causing it to rise?
I got a puppy and my dog likes to walk and walk. Everything hurt when I started my back my knees but I kept at even in the winter yike. Now I am walking four to five miles on most days lost 25 pounds regained muscle mass I am 66 and never felt better. I am now off my blood pressure meds totally. Yeah just start five minutes a day. Thanks
Good advice but one thing which made me smile was your comment "when you go outside daily your usually going to get more sunlight" ... I live in the UK and most days you're going to get more grey sky and quite probably rain but thanks for the cheery thought. 😊
Oh for the Bob's Big Boy platter. Loved it. Coffee great too !
I was on BP medication because the visa application in NZ required that.. as soon as I had my permanent visa I stopped taking those nasty pills. I'm on a healthy weight, do grounding and walking
I'm eating healthy, exercise, take supplements and have white coat syndrome.
I am feeling great
It was a requirement for your visa to take BP meds? That's oddly intrusive
I agree!! Video is on point you definitely point is on the right path I’m walking now 😊
You got this!
Thank you for this video. What BP lowering supplements do you recommend for those with calcium oxalate kidney stones?
Am on medication
So how do l do it
When during the natural way
Should l stop the medicine or do both.take the medicine and do the natural way.kindly advice

As for diet, start with one change. For example, put a bigger portion of meat (or other protein) on your plate. Followed by a medium portion of veggies. And finally, a smaller portion of carbs than you normally would. Big changes begin with small steps.
Great suggestion. But I'd like to add that Vegetables ARE CARBS.
Funny, but the opposite worked for my husband.
@@arlettedumais5776 actually,I would say large portion of complex carbs, which includes veggies and meat every once in a while
I exercise in inside I am a member of the silver sneakers and I exercise for about fifteen minutes every other day and it seem to help lower my blood pressure and help with my weight
