Dr we should talk. ASAP. PREFUNERAL WAREHOUSING rn route to Hospice benefit death...aka called nursing homes. And always remember DUCK! BE WELL.... I can help you .
My doc wants to put me on BP medication because my BP is high when I see him. I tell him it's only high when I see him and refuse. When my BP is taken at home, it's normal. I tell this to docs a lot: Doc, you're an expert on medicine but, me, I'm an expert on me.
Take a picture of your blood pressure numbers with your phone and show it to them. Your blood pressure will always be better, when you are at home and have relaxed for a minimum of 15 minutes, before taking your blood pressure. If they are not good with that, it's time to find a new doctor.
Your BP is much higher in dr office. Take rest BP over 48 hours before you take statins. Use grapefruit juice instead. Most meds are not safe for us over 65...Eat healthy and take walks or swim. Dont accept 10 different meds. Let someone like this real doctor give a second opinion. Lots of meds are not good for elderly. Do herbal regime. Better to die healthy at 77 than get dementia bcuz of over medication, sugar and white bread which can poison kids and turn their health into several illnesses. Ret nurse Norway.

1000% accurate, I’m living proof. When I was 60 years old, my blood pressure went through the roof, 198/95. I had no idea how bad my diet was, addicted to sugar and carbs. Nurse practitioner prescribed blood pressure medication, which I clearly needed, but no conversation whatsoever about my diet or even Checked my insulin levels. 14 months later, I discovered keto from watching TH-cam videos by some wonderful doctors. Within one month I was completely off the blood pressure medication and it’s been almost 10 months. Completely reversed just like Dr. Dhand said in less than a month and I’ve lost 56 pounds! It feels like a miracle but it was 100% diet.
@@jasminefernandes575 As we're all different, how can anyone have the right blood pressure. Mine is always "high" compared to the current guidelines, but that could well simply be normal for my body. In 1970, they'd have told you it was 167/xx (ie your age plus 100). But of course that didn't sell you pills. I'm becoming more and more convinced that 'high blood pressure' (within reason), along with 'high cholesterol' is nothing but a money making scam.
Statins were prescribed to me after a heart attack even though my blood pressure was low and I was below average LDL levels. I was constantly exhausted, changed heart specialist who discovered that statins were damaging my liver. I feel si much better without them and revovered my concentration capacity.
Medicine is big business blacked up by big pharma. Drs are not in business to keep or get you well. They would be out of business if they got there pts well. Think about it 🤔. Medicine is all about procedures and pushing meds. They didn't study integrated medice or nutrition. They were taught it's not about getting the pt well. It's about filling hospital beds. 😮
I started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading "Health and Beauty Mastery" by Julian Bannett, I completely changed my habits. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!
Same here!! All my friends have had covid 3 ir 4 time now and always coughing and lm okay never ill. Also want to pay ten pounds now for our Dna to be tested now so many 11:20 company's including nhs wanting to see how our blood is doing now have a good day @janettespence6083

My mother was treated for high BP from the time she was 40. She began getting dementia by her mid-50s and was fully demented by the time she died of a abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) at age 74. So much of her life stolen from her!
My mom was put high blood pressure meds at 30 (had 4 of 8 children) back in 1952. She developed Alzheimer’s at 62 and died at 67. I don’t know if anyone back then was aware of any connection between blood pressure meds, inflammation, insulin resistance, diet, etc. and dementia. All I remember is that my mom did exactly what the doctor told her to do. Hence, she used little to no salt. It’s not at all surprising that they didn’t know about any of these connections back then. What’s their excuse now? Follow the money. Thank you for your excellent videos.
Cut the carbs, increase the animal fats and never eat seed/veg oil. You'll feel like a teenager within 6 months. You know you want eggs and bacon every day without the guilt. You're worth it.🥰 ❤️🥩❤️🥓❤️🥩❤️
Totally agree......They never ask about your diet etc...I took myself off my BP tablets ( LISINOPRIL)......Changed my diet, and i walk a few miles a day... lost weight.. I take my BP every few weeks...ITS normal....I do not have HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE...so pleased i listened to Dr. Dhand.......Feel great !
80 years old, absolutely refuse any medications except for life-or-death infections, putting my body on notice, "do it naturally or die sucker!!" My PCP is obsessed w these BP meds insisting that a stroke is immanent wo them, ~140/90, go screw yourself, besides for me low BP is more serious w fainting loss of balance light-headed low energy. This all comes from a PCP who has never touched me, not once palpated my lymph nodes, even tho PMH two lymphatic cancers, stares at his computer screen never making eye contact or ask me any questions ever, DISGRACEFUL far worse CRIMINAL neglect ~~

Last year when i went to mom’s doctor to check all my vitals and have some blood tests done. He said my bp was high. It use to be 120/80 for as long as I remember. In my upper 50s now. When doing some research and more bloodwork I discovered I was deficient in vitamin D, potassium, sodium, chloride, and magnesium. So taking supplements and adding more animal foods and salt to my diet my bp has come down naturally. This dr from the start wanted to prescribe bp meds. I refused and decided to do my own research on why it was high. Once again asking the right questions helped me resolve the problem naturally.
Thank you !! I have told many people not to go on prescription drugs so easily. Check it out first.! I am pretty much a healthy person and don't take any drugs except when I am with a inflammation. I am 80 years old and still repair things that need to be fixed Right now I am re-building my 8×10 wooden deck. Thanks doc for opening up people's eyes My doctor wondered how I am doing it and I said "I stay away from prescription drugs"! 11:55
Far worse, beware putting elderly in assisted care living facilities!! My mother stayed short period in a rather nice facility, nursing staff w resident physician, BUT I made terrible mistake by giving them a list of all her prescription medications showing med bottles, they wrote down ALL medications then proceeded to give her ALL 12 OF THEM daily even after I sternly protested, required two emergency room ambulance rides near death from over medication, and was signed off by staff Doctor!! Come to find out most care facilities resell generic brands at huge profit billing Medicare/insurance. They would not stop even after protesting and emergencies telling me, "we always give all prescribed pills", another doctor told me this is a great scandal in his opinion and epidemic in assisted care facilities nation-wide!! ~ god help us all ~
I agree! But what if you can’t lose weight!!! And exercise or and really change how you eat a lot???? Then it’s better to take the pills??? Then no treatment for high blood pressure! No?
@@richardfadle5921 I'm female, age 39, and I've struggled to lose weight for years. I'm 40 pounds overweight, and that puts me in the obese category for my BMI. You can lower blood pressure with exercise alone. I know this, because I've done it. Several months ago, my systolic pressure (top number) was just over 140. But after joining a gym and going there three days a week, it's dropped down to around 120. I haven't lost a single pound. What brought the number down was exercise, and nothing else. Taking walks outside won't do anything to lower your blood pressure. The only thing that works is resistance training, and pushing yourself as hard as you can go on a treadmill. Intensity is more important than time. Thirty minutes on the treadmill two days a week is all you need. But, you gotta make that 30 minutes count. So, if you struggle to lose weight, it doesn't matter, all you need to do is intense exercises a few days a week. It makes a huge difference.
2 months ago my blood pressure was 155/110. I cut out most carbs, processed foods and got back into exercise. Today it's 128/87. Glad I didn't listen to the doctor and take pills.
Nothing wrong with getting pissed off and expressing our anger. It's because we suppress and allow others to walk over us ( including the medico -industrial complex) that many have health issues. It's long overdue we get pissed off and to let it be known .
I changed my diet to only whole foods, no refined sugar and blood pressured dropped from about 150 to 130s in a matter of about 3 months. No more dizziness, headaches or blurry vision. Also, I have 1 cup of organic Chamelie tea a night, so relaxing and I now sleep like a baby.
At 70 female, I’ve never taken anything! No vaccines of any kind either, a slew of vitamins, work out, my two bone scans say I have Stong bones , not even close to osteopenia. But I worked on that for 20 years and I’m still working on it. Eat clean and no sugar !
@@crystalstroud9111Those types of people are usually hypochondriacs, and the more medications they take, the more special they think they are. It's an attention seeking behavior.
@@pionus3651 You are an exception. I worked with elderly people in the 70s. What I said happened every meal time. Woe betide you if you missed a tablet. I'm older than you and I've stopped 3 BP tablets to 1/2 a tablet. Told the doctor I wanted off. Had BP readings to say I don't need them all. Dr had me do BP test twice a day 4 a week, and agreed then with me.
I don't run things past my doc anymore b/c he's on the take. I quit most of my pills and changed my diet, radically. High protein and fat, healthy fat. I'm now walking a lot every day. Lost weight. Blood sugar under control.
My 65 year old husband fits most of the criteria you have stated. I have tried my utmost to get him to watch your videos, but he will not. He just does anything the NHS tells him to do. I managed to get my 88 year old mother off the statins she had been taking for twenty years and she’s never been better.
Thank you Dr. Dhand. I was horrified a number of years ago (1990s) when a friend who worked at a London teaching hospital as a medical secretary told me about the students being given a welcome pack which included a poster for their wall. The poster said : A WELL PATIENT IS A LOST CUSTOMER. I couldn't believe it and neither could she. A gift from the drug companies to new students it seems.
I completely agree. My doctor has me down to 115/68 which he considers "miraculous", but I feel like crap and overly medicated. I'm at my physical and mental best when it's 140/80. However, he was displeased seeing that 140/80 number. Insists the lower the better.
We must have the same MD, except mine started hounding me about hypertension medication when my blood pressure was 136/72. It's never that high at home. The MDs in my area are notorious for firing patients who disagree.
I agree. I am on LOROSTAN and NORVASC . If my BP goes below 130systolic I feel dizzy. Whenever I go to the hospital or doctor or stressed my BP goes up. I want to be of pantoloc and celexa I do not think I need them but my family doctor is useless.
I wore a BP monitor for a week for my GP just before the Covid mass hysteria started in 2020. It averaged out at 140/85. When I went back, they just said "oh, it's high normal, don't worry about it. We only get concerned if it's consistently a lot higher". I wonder if they'd still say the same now. I'm not on any pills.
I was put on BP meds on my early 40's. My BP was only 130/80. I've been on them for nearly 25 years, and what a complete waste of time. My blood pressure is higher than ever and I have to take increasingly larger and larger doses.
This is a very good common sense conclusion i.e. lower than normal bp leading to less blood going to the brain and affecting cognitive function. Thanks for shedding light on this!
In 2017 I broke my hip and after surgery my blood pressure dropped below 100. When the nurse went to give me blood pressure meds, I said I don't think need these right now. I didn't take them until my pressure went up.
Interesting study that I'll keep in mind. I'll share my recent blood pressure experience as an anecdote for those interested. I'm in my 70's and my systolic pressure has been in the 140's. My diet wasn't bad except I have never been mindful of sodium. My doctor urged me to focus on sodium and bring it into the DASH diet recommendation of 1500mg to 2300mg a day. For the first time in my life I tracked sodium and brought it down to 1500mg. In two days my systolic pressure was down to the 120s and has stayed there. I may move my sodium intake up toward 2300mg and see what happens.
Salt sensitivity since diagnosis of HBP Blood work showed low sodium. Doc said to start salting my food. Office visit after restarting salt reading 155/90. Can't win ever
A lady at church passed out close to a dozen times over the past couple of years, all thanks to her blood pressure meds. Each time, well-meaning folks summoned an ambulance; our local hospital is literally across the street from the church. She waited a few weeks before resuming church attendance, was ok for a few weeks, and began the cycle again. Sad.
Taking vitamin D & k off all other meds. How? Gee I just changed diet. Removed almost all pre-processed foods. If I can’t pronounce the ingredients I don’t want it. Still monitor bp, glucose, pulse rate, & weight. Age 73 (12/25/1950). And don’t drive so walk all over town.
Dr. Dhand, I truly love 💓 U & the work that you do. Mr Dr. has subscribed Blood pressure meds to me several times -- & I've NEVER - EVER took any of his prescribed pressure meds. & I'm doing fine. THANK YOU.
As a nurse, I can't tell you how many times we have to remind the docs....easy, buddy. The patient is barely hitting 105 systolic. We'll let you know if meds are needed, doc.
My husband recently saw the doctor for his 6-month checkup, where he has always only seen the nurse practitioner at this practice, for years, but she recently left the practice. The doctor immediately put him on another diabetes medication, for pre-diabetes, even though he's been on Jardiance, and had recently had the dose lowered to half. I questioned this doctor's decision to do this, so my husband called the office, and questioned this. The doctor immediately withdrew the newly prescribed meds, basically without question. This told me so much about this doctor! I advised my husband to find a new doctor, immediately.
For the past few months my 87 year old mother's blood pressure has been in disarray - sometimes going dangerously high, and then crashing down to very low numbers. Her primary care physician prescribes one thing, while her cardiologist prescribes something else. To the layperson it is bewildering and frustrating. I wish my mom could see you, Dr. Dhand, as her primary care physician. You seem to look at things more sensibly.
Let's not forget that Amlodipine, an antihypertensive (a calcium channel blocker) causes oedema in the feet - swelling. Other antihyptensives cause a cough. If you complain to your doctor, they will just add more medications to treat these adverse effects, and you could end up very sick indeed. We need to recognise that lowering your BP can be a direct cause of falls (from fainting, feeling dizzy).
I follow Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Nutritarian lifestyle which is a whole food plant based diet. He’s advocated for the same as Dr. Dhand that diet and lifestyle should be the first line of defense against chronic and other ailments.
You eat plants? Hopefully from your garden with natural fertilizer. Red meat saved my life along with butter, bacon, eggs, and a lot of sea salt. Never forget 3 drops of iodine per day. Blood labs never looked so good!
Because 97% are iodine deficient. Our soil has been depleated of its nutrients and minerals. That is why plants are not as safe today. Do a search on iodine deficiency. One small bottle costs $7.98 for a 1 year supply. @pionus3651
I retired last year as a critical care RN; SO many patients come in with a long list of home meds to reconcile and more often than not people are no longer taking meds on the list but the Dr reorders them on admission and then again on discharge. Once someone is prescribed a medication it is so hard to get it removed from the home med list, especially since doctors have so little time in clinic to address this and the clinic nurse (often LPN's) don't bother to.
Dr. Dhand, your ability to draw sound , discernible conclusions contingent on empirical data is impeccable. Diet and exercise is absolutely essential. Additionally, Meditation and breathing exercises , can and will, provide an equilibrium, with the ultimate objective of slowing the heart rate in conjunction with alleviating pressure on the arteries.
I wish more people would listen to Dr. Dhand and educate themselves before popping pills. Recently, one of my brothers-in-law who is 78 years old, was put on a blood pressure pill. Well he ended up in the hospital. It almost destroyed his kidneys. He was in the critical stage. 😬😳😧
We'll see how the new doctor we switched to behaves himself in December. I've got my Dr. Dhand checklist printed out and ready to go. Maybe I'll laminate it!
I am in my 50s. Back in 2011 I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. They did a partial nephrectomy. Three months later, we moved to Israel for two years. When I handed my cancer doctor, the protocol that my American doctor wanted me to continue, he says to me “I am not going to follow this protocol. The protocol they want you on causes cancer, and they know it. If you want this protocol from your American doctor to proceed, you must find a new doctor” That was the beginning of my eyes being open for the dysfunctional medical and money, hungry sick care in America! Now, if I have an issue, I go to the doctor, get their opinion, then come home and naturally treat the root of the issue I may be having. I will no longer be hoodwinked or bullied into this medical tyranny here in America!
Very common for nursing home patients to be on 20-30 medications, most of them not needed and a lot to treat side effects of other medications has been common in the USA for decades.
Thank you Dr . Dhand I'm on your side most Doctors don't care ; But let them have their own family in the Hospital All will be treated differently I think that's wrong Stop given to much Medicine
I'd be on BP tablets if I listened to my doctor. My BP is a bit high but in the orange zone. I'm 68 and fitter than most people half my age. Its just a number. Of course if its at the extreme end if the scale then that's a different matter. Fasting, keto and exercise has helped keep me healthy.
Completely agree with you, Doc. Thank you so much for saving me. I first heard about insulin sensitivity and bp, from you ( My doc has never mentioned this). Having been on bp meds for the last 20 yrs ( i am 54 now), i did more research in this and then decided to follow a low carb plant based diet along with some exercise. Now i am off bp meds and having normal bp plus feeling more energetic. Thank you so much, Doc, once again.
There has been a change in defining “ideal” blood pressure - the bar has been set a fair bit lower? Check the Harvard medical school, they seem to be pushing for a more aggressive stance to lower it, why? Also, elderly patients are falling, becoming hospitalised, or worse, often they can’t remember why they fell. Is it too low blood pressure?
I wish you were my doctor cause my doctor doesn’t listen to me and wants to keep me on certain medications that I don’t want to be on anymore. Thank you for your support and keep up the great job!!
You absolutely have the right to refuse any medication and treatment you don't want. Stay away from processed food and exercise as tolerated will give your body what it needs to function in a healthy way without medication.
Got me Mom home after rehab and massive stroke. Not talking not walking commode at the bedside 9 medications. She left us with a little talk, using a walker and 1 medication. You are spot Dr.!!!
Im 48 yrs old & my doc added a second pill since l had high BP last time I saw her. I’m trying hard to change my lifestyle, but the stresses I have is hard to overcome! Thank you for all the genuine advices! I really don’t want to be swallowing pills for the rest of my life 🥲
I see it every day here in the United States. In reference to rehab rehabilitation centers or facilities for the elderly, they dumb them down with SSRI’s…
I was in nursing school in the 70's and the rule for systolic BP then was 100 plus the age of the patient. Numbers keep going down so doctors feel obliged to follow the new protocols and prescribe antihypertensives to old folks so they have the same BP they had in their 20's. When I was still working, I had an elderly patient who was treated aggressively for high blood pressure and as a result she couldn't even sit up in bed without feeling dizzy. I told the doctor and he liked her numbers more.
@@mariaw593 100 plus age is acknowledged for that time if you google but refuted now of course. There was no quick saying for diastolic at the time as I recall. I'm 69 now but wonder if a systolic of 170 would be ok for me. Not sure about that.
@@sheila3092 I was in nursing school in the 80s...I was just wondering if you knew what at the time of 100 plus age to be systolic...what the diastolic was at that time because I've never hear of what the bottom number acceptable was at that time. Yes, the protocol (ie: greedy pharmacological companies) keeps getting lower and lower while the SHEEP keep thinking that their doctors always have their best interests foremost (joke...but some do, I guess...) and they keep going along unquestioningly with what is advised for them to take or do. It used to be that as long as the glycemic count was under 105, you were fine...well mine was 127 but I got it down to 100 and lo and behold, I was notified that it is now 99 or under and my A1C was 5.7, which meant I was prediabetic (earlier this year)...so I worked on it and got my A1C down to 5.5 only to be rewarded by telling me that I am now 'normal' (their protocol normal BUT that I will ALWAYS be prediabetic since I've been (their) prediabetic earlier this year with 5.7 (even though now I'm at 5.5). Everyone has to make their own decisions with our good Lord's help and not everything that is advised is the best decision for each person. Maria in South Carolina
The largest obstacle we need to deal with is consumer direct marketing of prescription drugs, the USA is one of only two countries in the entire world that allows it. Make America Healthy Again!
When I admitted my 90 yr old father to a facility the resident doctor reordered all medications even though he had enough for at least 2 weeks. He was moved to hospital the following day because of high blood pressure and the doctor ordered a whole lot of new medications. 4 days later he went back to the care facility and, you guessed it, more medications were ordered. When he died 3 weeks later ALL THE MEDICATIONS disappeared and I was not allowed to see them. Plus I was forced to pay a huge amount of $ for all these unnecessary and unused drugs!
brilliant! yes I am retired in70s worked as NP 2009 was put on b/p because another medication I was on at the time caused my b/p to go up needless to say i tapered off and B/P is is 120/60. never needed it and never had htn
Soon to turn 61, and never been on prescriptions for health issues, other than antibiotics for sinus issues, or UTIs. I'm a mother of five adult children, rare cancer survivor (head), never smoked tobacco products, nor abused alcohol, and stay super active, along with meals that always include veggies, and small portions. I love hardcore landscaping, and am quite proficient with the chainsaws. Woodworking is my passion, along with learning something new, every single day. Huge fan of reading, mostly historical fiction and military, and researching everything, especially health related. I take responsibility for my health, and what I consume. I do like my sweet treats, lol, but I also know that if I consume enough protein that it will keep sweet cravings at bay. I listen to my body, and I hope that I can always be the one that controls my health choices. Being able to recoup from intense chemo and radiation treatments, almost immediately, gives testiment that I know my health needs.
As a registered nurse for 50 years....I became quite cautious about the long term use of meds....I really like your comment regarding blood pressure levels being too low....they have indeed gone down....and now people in their 90's are told that a blood pressure of 120 systolic or even lower is OK. Appreciate your comment on this.
Thank you, doctor, for fighting the good fight. You seem like a well-meaning doctor, so I must inform you that insulin resistance is caused by fats and oils, which hinder insulin function, not sugars and carbs. Look up, Dr. Walter Kempner of Duke University and his very successful "Rice Diet" consisting mainly of rice, fruits, and white sugar. We have to get this one right, or we're doomed as a society and at the mercy of the medical establishment.
God bless u. I had a bad experience with statins. After a year of bad side effects turned to Ayurvedic medicines. Hope to see more good doctors like you in Goa India.
Having recently discovered I have metabolic syndrome (!), my subsequent reading and research points directly to insulin resistance! Is great to know that it is true!

I understand your point of view.

Medicine is big business blacked up by big pharma. Drs are not in business to keep or get you well. They would be out of business if they got there pts well. Think about it 🤔.
Medicine is all about procedures and pushing meds. They didn't study integrated medice or nutrition. They were taught it's not about getting the pt well. It's about filling hospital beds. 😮
I started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading "Health and Beauty Mastery" by Julian Bannett, I completely changed my habits. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!
I got it, truly a good book
I started questioning my health when Covid started, no vaccines for me 🙏👌
Same here!! All my friends have had covid 3 ir 4 time now and always coughing and lm okay never ill. Also want to pay ten pounds now for our Dna to be tested now so many 11:20 company's including nhs wanting to see how our blood is doing now have a good day @janettespence6083

My mother was treated for high BP from the time she was 40. She began getting dementia by her mid-50s and was fully demented by the time she died of a abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) at age 74. So much of her life stolen from her!
High blood pressure can contribute to dementia. My husband died from dementia age 71 but never had high blood pressure.
My mom was put high blood pressure meds at 30 (had 4 of 8 children) back in 1952. She developed Alzheimer’s at 62 and died at 67. I don’t know if anyone back then was aware of any connection between blood pressure meds, inflammation, insulin resistance, diet, etc. and dementia. All I remember is that my mom did exactly what the doctor told her to do. Hence, she used little to no salt. It’s not at all surprising that they didn’t know about any of these connections back then. What’s their excuse now? Follow the money. Thank you for your excellent videos.
My PRAYERS for your mother and you.Please,accept my sincere sympathy .
I’m working hard to get both me and my 88-year old husband off of some unnecessary meds. It’s a process. ❤
God bless you!!

Totally agree......They never ask about your diet etc...I took myself off my BP tablets ( LISINOPRIL)......Changed my diet, and i walk a few miles a day... lost weight.. I take my BP every few weeks...ITS normal....I do not have HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE...so pleased i listened to Dr. Dhand.......Feel great !
80 years old, absolutely refuse any medications except for life-or-death infections, putting my body on notice, "do it naturally or die sucker!!" My PCP is obsessed w these BP meds insisting that a stroke is immanent wo them, ~140/90, go screw yourself, besides for me low BP is more serious w fainting loss of balance light-headed low energy. This all comes from a PCP who has never touched me, not once palpated my lymph nodes, even tho PMH two lymphatic cancers, stares at his computer screen never making eye contact or ask me any questions ever, DISGRACEFUL far worse CRIMINAL neglect ~~
140/90 is absolutely fine. That doctor works for the Big Pharma mafia.
Corporate medicine
Fire him! You deserve personal service from a doctor who knows your name.

Last year when i went to mom’s doctor to check all my vitals and have some blood tests done. He said my bp was high. It use to be 120/80 for as long as I remember. In my upper 50s now.
When doing some research and more bloodwork I discovered I was deficient in vitamin D, potassium, sodium, chloride, and magnesium. So taking supplements and adding more animal foods and salt to my diet my bp has come down naturally.
This dr from the start wanted to prescribe bp meds. I refused and decided to do my own research on why it was high. Once again asking the right questions helped me resolve the problem naturally.
Adding animal foods reduced your BP?
Exactly why I listen to Dr Dhand regarding my mother's health. Excellent information.
Thank you for being a human, thinking and feeling doctor.We have so many medical robots who are just functionaries.
Thank you !!
I have told many people not to go on prescription drugs so easily. Check it out first.!
I am pretty much a healthy person and don't take any drugs except when I am with a inflammation. I am 80 years old and still repair things that need to be fixed
Right now I am re-building my 8×10 wooden deck.
Thanks doc for opening up people's eyes
My doctor wondered how I am doing it and I said "I stay away from prescription drugs"! 11:55
Thank you for caring ❤
You are honest - and brave! May God protect you, dear Dr Dhand 11:55
Far worse, beware putting elderly in assisted care living facilities!! My mother stayed short period in a rather nice facility, nursing staff w resident physician, BUT I made terrible mistake by giving them a list of all her prescription medications showing med bottles, they wrote down ALL medications then proceeded to give her ALL 12 OF THEM daily even after I sternly protested, required two emergency room ambulance rides near death from over medication, and was signed off by staff Doctor!! Come to find out most care facilities resell generic brands at huge profit billing Medicare/insurance. They would not stop even after protesting and emergencies telling me, "we always give all prescribed pills", another doctor told me this is a great scandal in his opinion and epidemic in assisted care facilities nation-wide!! ~ god help us all ~
Thank you DOCTOR great information 👍
Appreciate you watching
@drsuneeldhand you speak the truth, thank you DOCTOR for caring
Blood pressure should only be treated with a healthy lifestyle!
Agree 💯
I agree! But what if you can’t lose weight!!! And exercise or and really change how you eat a lot???? Then it’s better to take the pills??? Then no treatment for high blood pressure! No?

@@richardfadle5921 I'm female, age 39, and I've struggled to lose weight for years. I'm 40 pounds overweight, and that puts me in the obese category for my BMI. You can lower blood pressure with exercise alone. I know this, because I've done it. Several months ago, my systolic pressure (top number) was just over 140. But after joining a gym and going there three days a week, it's dropped down to around 120. I haven't lost a single pound. What brought the number down was exercise, and nothing else. Taking walks outside won't do anything to lower your blood pressure. The only thing that works is resistance training, and pushing yourself as hard as you can go on a treadmill. Intensity is more important than time. Thirty minutes on the treadmill two days a week is all you need. But, you gotta make that 30 minutes count. So, if you struggle to lose weight, it doesn't matter, all you need to do is intense exercises a few days a week. It makes a huge difference.
Disagree. There is a genetic component to hypertension in some people.
2 months ago my blood pressure was 155/110. I cut out most carbs, processed foods and got back into exercise. Today it's 128/87. Glad I didn't listen to the doctor and take pills.
Q: Where is the Most Dangerous place on Earth?
A: The Doctor's office.
I love Dr. Dhand because he’s always pissed off.
I do too!
😂 👍
It's a bit tiresome. Rage bait.
I don't like pissed off people. I think he's concerned,😊
Nothing wrong with getting pissed off and expressing our anger. It's because we suppress and allow others to walk over us ( including the medico -industrial complex) that many have health issues. It's long overdue we get pissed off and to let it be known .
There is tremendous benefit to overprescription of BP pills: afternoon golf, long Caribbean hols, etc. (For Big Farmas)
I changed my diet to only whole foods, no refined sugar and blood pressured dropped from about 150 to 130s in a matter of about 3 months. No more dizziness, headaches or blurry vision. Also, I have 1 cup of organic Chamelie tea a night, so relaxing and I now sleep like a baby.
Please consider working with RFK Jr. on medical issues.
Your Joking right?
He's a nut job.

Some of the old folk are so proud of the amount they are on. they count every one
Yes, they treat it like a hobby and brag about what they’re for, if they actually know what they’re for.
At 70 female, I’ve never taken anything! No vaccines of any kind either, a slew of vitamins, work out, my two bone scans say I have Stong bones , not even close to osteopenia. But I worked on that for 20 years and I’m still working on it. Eat clean and no sugar !
@@crystalstroud9111Those types of people are usually hypochondriacs, and the more medications they take, the more special they think they are. It's an attention seeking behavior.
So true. They openly brag about their ailments and medication. I'd be ashamed of making it public but fortunately I'm not on any meds at 68.
@@pionus3651 You are an exception. I worked with elderly people in the 70s. What I said happened every meal time. Woe betide you if you missed a tablet.
I'm older than you and I've stopped 3 BP tablets to 1/2 a tablet. Told the doctor I wanted off. Had BP readings to say I don't need them all. Dr had me do BP test twice a day 4 a week, and agreed then with me.
I don't run things past my doc anymore b/c he's on the take. I quit most of my pills and changed my diet, radically. High protein and fat, healthy fat. I'm now walking a lot every day. Lost weight. Blood sugar under control.
My 65 year old husband fits most of the criteria you have stated. I have tried my utmost to get him to watch your videos, but he will not. He just does anything the NHS tells him to do.
I managed to get my 88 year old mother off the statins she had been taking for twenty years and she’s never been better.
Statins do not work after the age of 80.
Wow, what would we do without you sir. You tell the truth, you reveal the incompetence and lies of the medical system.
Thank you Dr. Dhand. I was horrified a number of years ago (1990s) when a friend who worked at a London teaching hospital as a medical secretary told me about the students being given a welcome pack which included a poster for their wall. The poster said : A WELL PATIENT IS A LOST CUSTOMER. I couldn't believe it and neither could she. A gift from the drug companies to new students it seems.
I completely agree. My doctor has me down to 115/68 which he considers "miraculous", but I feel like crap and overly medicated. I'm at my physical and mental best when it's 140/80. However, he was displeased seeing that 140/80 number. Insists the lower the better.
We must have the same MD, except mine started hounding me about hypertension medication when my blood pressure was 136/72. It's never that high at home. The MDs in my area are notorious for firing patients who disagree.
I agree. I am on LOROSTAN and NORVASC . If my BP goes below 130systolic I feel dizzy. Whenever I go to the hospital or doctor or stressed my BP goes up. I want to be of pantoloc and celexa I do not think I need them but my family doctor is useless.
Big Pharma gravy train 😢
You do you!
I wore a BP monitor for a week for my GP just before the Covid mass hysteria started in 2020. It averaged out at 140/85. When I went back, they just said "oh, it's high normal, don't worry about it. We only get concerned if it's consistently a lot higher".
I wonder if they'd still say the same now. I'm not on any pills.
I'm' going to send this to two Cardiologists who work with an aging population.
They are brain dead.
I was put on BP meds on my early 40's. My BP was only 130/80. I've been on them for nearly 25 years, and what a complete waste of time. My blood pressure is higher than ever and I have to take increasingly larger and larger doses.
❤ OMG you are one of the heroes❤ God bless you sir keep talking
This is a very good common sense conclusion i.e. lower than normal bp leading to less blood going to the brain and affecting cognitive function. Thanks for shedding light on this!
Wow! Great info.🙌🏻
Happy to help!
This is a very honest man.
True
In 2017 I broke my hip and after surgery my blood pressure dropped below 100. When the nurse went to give me blood pressure meds, I said I don't think need these right now. I didn't take them until my pressure went up.
Did she have a brain?
Well done, Dr. dhand, I'm so thankful I found you. You're a brilliant dr. I wish there were more drs like you.
Interesting study that I'll keep in mind. I'll share my recent blood pressure experience as an anecdote for those interested. I'm in my 70's and my systolic pressure has been in the 140's. My diet wasn't bad except I have never been mindful of sodium. My doctor urged me to focus on sodium and bring it into the DASH diet recommendation of 1500mg to 2300mg a day. For the first time in my life I tracked sodium and brought it down to 1500mg. In two days my systolic pressure was down to the 120s and has stayed there. I may move my sodium intake up toward 2300mg and see what happens.
Salt sensitivity since diagnosis of HBP
Blood work showed low sodium. Doc said to start salting my food. Office visit after restarting salt reading 155/90. Can't win ever
Use the right salt for a start.. like Himalayan😊
I wish this was standard of care
A lady at church passed out close to a dozen times over the past couple of years, all thanks to her blood pressure meds. Each time, well-meaning folks summoned an ambulance; our local hospital is literally across the street from the church. She waited a few weeks before resuming church attendance, was ok for a few weeks, and began the cycle again. Sad.
Very informative as usual . Thank you so much Dr Dhand (from France)
Taking vitamin D & k off all other meds. How? Gee I just changed diet. Removed almost all pre-processed foods. If I can’t pronounce the ingredients I don’t want it. Still monitor bp, glucose, pulse rate, & weight. Age 73 (12/25/1950). And don’t drive so walk all over town.
Good for you!
Thank you Dr. Dhand.
True my blood pressure is fine until I’m in front of a doctor then it’s high try telling them that
Dr. Dhand, I truly love 💓 U & the work that you do. Mr Dr. has subscribed Blood pressure meds to me several times -- & I've NEVER - EVER took any of his prescribed pressure meds. & I'm doing fine. THANK YOU.
I love the way you think; common sense for sure!
Bravely and well said. I am sure most of us here totally agree. Take care and all the best keith
As a nurse, I can't tell you how many times we have to remind the docs....easy, buddy. The patient is barely hitting 105 systolic. We'll let you know if meds are needed, doc.
Thank you for being attentive to your patients. We need medical staff like you.
My husband recently saw the doctor for his 6-month checkup, where he has always only seen the nurse practitioner at this practice, for years, but she recently left the practice. The doctor immediately put him on another diabetes medication, for pre-diabetes, even though he's been on Jardiance, and had recently had the dose lowered to half. I questioned this doctor's decision to do this, so my husband called the office, and questioned this. The doctor immediately withdrew the newly prescribed meds, basically without question. This told me so much about this doctor! I advised my husband to find a new doctor, immediately.
You are brilliant… I so wish you were my doctor ❤❤❤❤
For the past few months my 87 year old mother's blood pressure has been in disarray - sometimes going dangerously high, and then crashing down to very low numbers. Her primary care physician prescribes one thing, while her cardiologist prescribes something else. To the layperson it is bewildering and frustrating. I wish my mom could see you, Dr. Dhand, as her primary care physician. You seem to look at things more sensibly.
Let's not forget that Amlodipine, an antihypertensive (a calcium channel blocker) causes oedema in the feet - swelling. Other antihyptensives cause a cough. If you complain to your doctor, they will just add more medications to treat these adverse effects, and you could end up very sick indeed. We need to recognise that lowering your BP can be a direct cause of falls (from fainting, feeling dizzy).
I follow Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Nutritarian lifestyle which is a whole food plant based diet. He’s advocated for the same as Dr. Dhand that diet and lifestyle should be the first line of defense against chronic and other ailments.
You eat plants? Hopefully from your garden with natural fertilizer. Red meat saved my life along with butter, bacon, eggs, and a lot of sea salt. Never forget 3 drops of iodine per day. Blood labs never looked so good!
@@DoubtingThomas-mx8slwhy iodine?
Because 97% are iodine deficient. Our soil has been depleated of its nutrients and minerals. That is why plants are not as safe today. Do a search on iodine deficiency. One small bottle costs $7.98 for a 1 year supply. @pionus3651
I would watch an interview Dr.Dhand recently with Dave Mac from zero carb. I used to believe Dr.Fuhrman too. I don't think he is a MD like Dr.Dhand.
Love Dr. Fuhrman!
I retired last year as a critical care RN; SO many patients come in with a long list of home meds to reconcile and more often than not people are no longer taking meds on the list but the Dr reorders them on admission and then again on discharge. Once someone is prescribed a medication it is so hard to get it removed from the home med list, especially since doctors have so little time in clinic to address this and the clinic nurse (often LPN's) don't bother to.
Dr. Dhand, your ability to draw sound , discernible conclusions contingent on empirical data is impeccable. Diet and exercise is absolutely essential. Additionally, Meditation and breathing exercises , can and will, provide an equilibrium, with the ultimate objective of slowing the heart rate in conjunction with alleviating pressure on the arteries.
Thank you!
I wish more people would listen to Dr. Dhand and educate themselves before popping pills. Recently, one of my brothers-in-law who is 78 years old, was put on a blood pressure pill. Well he ended up in the hospital. It almost destroyed his kidneys. He was in the critical stage. 😬😳😧
We'll see how the new doctor we switched to behaves himself in December. I've got my Dr. Dhand checklist printed out and ready to go. Maybe I'll laminate it!
Thanks
I am in my 50s. Back in 2011 I was diagnosed with kidney cancer.
They did a partial nephrectomy. Three months later, we moved to Israel for two years.
When I handed my cancer doctor, the protocol that my American doctor wanted me to continue, he says to me “I am not going to follow this protocol. The protocol they want you on causes cancer, and they know it. If you want this protocol from your American doctor to proceed, you must find a new doctor”
That was the beginning of my eyes being open for the dysfunctional medical and money, hungry sick care in America!
Now, if I have an issue, I go to the doctor, get their opinion, then come home and naturally treat the root of the issue I may be having.
I will no longer be hoodwinked or bullied into this medical tyranny here in America!
Inspiring humane brilliant doctor, thanks Dr Sunil dhand, learnt a lot today.
Very common for nursing home patients to be on 20-30 medications, most of them not needed and a lot to treat side effects of other medications has been common in the USA for decades.
I had a doctor tell me about 20 years ago that they lowered it so you had a higher chance of having high blood pressure.
Same here. At home BP is normal - annual BP check with my GP is high 😮

Great information! Thank you!
Potassium lowers BP, needs to balance salt intake and also magnesium helps.

Thank you Dr . Dhand I'm on your side most Doctors don't care ;
But let them have their own family in the Hospital
All will be treated differently
I think that's wrong
Stop given to much Medicine
I'd be on BP tablets if I listened to my doctor. My BP is a bit high but in the orange zone. I'm 68 and fitter than most people half my age. Its just a number. Of course if its at the extreme end if the scale then that's a different matter. Fasting, keto and exercise has helped keep me healthy.
I tossed my blood pressure machine in the trash. I am tired of of telling me I am stage 1 Blood pressure at 124 over 68. To hell with
Completely agree with you, Doc. Thank you so much for saving me. I first heard about insulin sensitivity and bp, from you ( My doc has never mentioned this). Having been on bp meds for the last 20 yrs ( i am 54 now), i did more research in this and then decided to follow a low carb plant based diet along with some exercise. Now i am off bp meds and having normal bp plus feeling more energetic.
Thank you so much, Doc, once again.
There has been a change in defining “ideal” blood pressure - the bar has been set a fair bit lower? Check the Harvard medical school, they seem to be pushing for a more aggressive stance to lower it, why? Also, elderly patients are falling, becoming hospitalised, or worse, often they can’t remember why they fell. Is it too low blood pressure?
Here italian Doctor, i totaly agree with jou!!!!
I wish you were my doctor cause my doctor doesn’t listen to me and wants to keep me on certain medications that I don’t want to be on anymore. Thank you for your support and keep up the great job!!
Me too!🙏
You absolutely have the right to refuse any medication and treatment you don't want. Stay away from processed food and exercise as tolerated will give your body what it needs to function in a healthy way without medication.
Absolutely agree with @luv2fly745. Educate yourself on the meds that have been prescribed, on what the side effects are and how to safely withdraw.

Got me Mom home after rehab and massive stroke. Not talking not walking commode at the bedside 9 medications. She left us with a little talk, using a walker and 1 medication. You are spot Dr.!!!
People do not want to put in the hard work!!!!! RFK will do nothing except food more expensive for poor.
Im 48 yrs old & my doc added a second pill since l had high BP last time I saw her. I’m trying hard to change my lifestyle, but the stresses I have is hard to overcome! Thank you for all the genuine advices! I really don’t want to be swallowing pills for the rest of my life 🥲
I see it every day here in the United States. In reference to rehab rehabilitation centers or facilities for the elderly, they dumb them down with SSRI’s…
Sugar is the culprit!
I was in nursing school in the 70's and the rule for systolic BP then was 100 plus the age of the patient. Numbers keep going down so doctors feel obliged to follow the new protocols and prescribe antihypertensives to old folks so they have the same BP they had in their 20's. When I was still working, I had an elderly patient who was treated aggressively for high blood pressure and as a result she couldn't even sit up in bed without feeling dizzy. I told the doctor and he liked her numbers more.
I've heard this before BUT what is the diastolic number in the 70s?
@@mariaw593 100 plus age is acknowledged for that time if you google but refuted now of course. There was no quick saying for diastolic at the time as I recall. I'm 69 now but wonder if a systolic of 170 would be ok for me. Not sure about that.
@@sheila3092 I was in nursing school in the 80s...I was just wondering if you knew what at the time of 100 plus age to be systolic...what the diastolic was at that time because I've never hear of what the bottom number acceptable was at that time. Yes, the protocol (ie: greedy pharmacological companies) keeps getting lower and lower while the SHEEP keep thinking that their doctors always have their best interests foremost (joke...but some do, I guess...) and they keep going along unquestioningly with what is advised for them to take or do. It used to be that as long as the glycemic count was under 105, you were fine...well mine was 127 but I got it down to 100 and lo and behold, I was notified that it is now 99 or under and my A1C was 5.7, which meant I was prediabetic (earlier this year)...so I worked on it and got my A1C down to 5.5 only to be rewarded by telling me that I am now 'normal' (their protocol normal BUT that I will ALWAYS be prediabetic since I've been (their) prediabetic earlier this year with 5.7 (even though now I'm at 5.5). Everyone has to make their own decisions with our good Lord's help and not everything that is advised is the best decision for each person. Maria in South Carolina

You’re a genius Dr. Dhand! 😎
When I admitted my 90 yr old father to a facility the resident doctor reordered all medications even though he had enough for at least 2 weeks.
He was moved to hospital the following day because of high blood pressure and the doctor ordered a whole lot of new medications. 4 days later he went back to the care facility and, you guessed it, more medications were ordered. When he died 3 weeks later ALL THE MEDICATIONS disappeared and I was not allowed to see them. Plus I was forced to pay a huge amount of $ for all these unnecessary and unused drugs!
I use dandelion, beetroot (pills and sliced beets), hawthorn etc..I'm only usually mildly hypertensive..noticed this since taking HRT..
Dr. Dhand, would you briefly describe the best way and times to take ones BP? Thank you.
brilliant! yes I am retired in70s worked as NP 2009 was put on b/p because another medication I was on at the time caused my b/p to go up needless to say i tapered off and B/P is is 120/60. never needed it and never had htn
I learned this over a decade ago.
Always great information 👍 Dr Dhand.
Soon to turn 61, and never been on prescriptions for health issues, other than antibiotics for sinus issues, or UTIs. I'm a mother of five adult children, rare cancer survivor (head), never smoked tobacco products, nor abused alcohol, and stay super active, along with meals that always include veggies, and small portions.
I love hardcore landscaping, and am quite proficient with the chainsaws. Woodworking is my passion, along with learning something new, every single day. Huge fan of reading, mostly historical fiction and military, and researching everything, especially health related.
I take responsibility for my health, and what I consume. I do like my sweet treats, lol, but I also know that if I consume enough protein that it will keep sweet cravings at bay. I listen to my body, and I hope that I can always be the one that controls my health choices. Being able to recoup from intense chemo and radiation treatments, almost immediately, gives testiment that I know my health needs.
As a registered nurse for 50 years....I became quite cautious about the long term use of meds....I really like your comment regarding blood pressure levels being too low....they have indeed gone down....and now people in their 90's are told that a blood pressure of 120 systolic or even lower is OK. Appreciate your comment on this.
I am not surprised.
Thank you, doctor, for fighting the good fight.
You seem like a well-meaning doctor, so I must inform you that insulin resistance is caused by fats and oils, which hinder insulin function, not sugars and carbs.
Look up, Dr. Walter Kempner of Duke University and his very successful "Rice Diet" consisting mainly of rice, fruits, and white sugar.
We have to get this one right, or we're doomed as a society and at the mercy of the medical establishment.
God bless u. I had a bad experience with statins. After a year of bad side effects turned to Ayurvedic medicines. Hope to see more good doctors like you in Goa India.
Thank you you are a good Doctor
Having recently discovered I have metabolic syndrome (!), my subsequent reading and research points directly to insulin resistance! Is great to know that it is true!
Great video. Thanks Dr. D! :)
