Hypertension Study
The Answers of Participant 17 (Ms. DR, 52 years)
for a Study about Efficacy and Compliance of
Hypertension Cure Measures
according to the book
"Hypertension Causes &
Cure"
by Dr. Johann Georg Schnitzer
1) My Hypertension Story before
| Question |
Answer |
| Before I started to follow Dr.
Schnitzer's recommendations, I was suffering from hypertension for: |
3 (?) months |
| My average blood pressure before starting any
medication
was (usually measured after rest in Millimeters/Mercury = mm/Hg, e.g.; "normal" blood pressure = 125/85 mm/Hg): |
167/103 |
| My complaints before starting
medication were (please describe in your words): |
I had no
complaints, but discovered that my blood pressure was
"moderately high" 4 months ago when I visited my doctor
with another problem. When his nurse took my blood pressure, I
discovered for the first time in my life that my blood pressure
was moderately high. The last time I was to see my doctor was
approximately 9 months prior to that time and it was 130/80 at
that time and 130/80 another 4 months before when I went to see
him with other problems. I took it upon myself to purchase your
book 3 months ago and educate myself on how to lower my blood
pressure and keep it where it should be. |
| At last, before starting with
Dr. Schnitzer's recommendations, the prescribed medication
was: |
| Remedy to take |
x times/day |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
| With this medication, and before
starting to follow Dr. Schnitzer's recommendations, my blood
pressure was (in millimeters/mercury = mm/Hg): |
|
| My complaints under this medication
were (please describe in your words): |
So far my doctor
has only requested that I make "lifestyle changes" and
he hasn't prescribed medication. |

3) My doctors' support:
| My doctor supported me in this new
therapy |
| fully |
not much |
not at all |
| |
|
X |
|
| My doctor's comments were: |
My doctor didn't
give me any medicine, but only told me to get more exercise and
more sleep and come back to see him in about three months. He
stated my blood pressure should drop by then. He didn't say a word
about my changing my diet. But I saw him 4 months ago and bought
your book 3 months ago so that's when I started changing my diet
according to your suggestions, along with exercising at least 30
minutes a day on my treadmill. Since I only slept about 4-5 hours
a night before, I changed that too to make sure I'm getting at
least 7 hours of sleep per night. |
| I searched and found another doctor: |
|
| If the answer before was
"Yes": My new doctor supported me in this new therapy |
| fully |
not much |
not at all |
| |
|
|
|
| The (if any) new doctor's comments
were: |
|
Blood-lettings
(Small blood lettings, accelerating the cure of hypertension. A
series of blood lettings consists of 6-10 times, once per week, taking
about 80-100 milliliters, not nore; aber that a pause of 12 weeks; if
necessary another series).
| I had blood lettings to support the
cure of my hyoertension: |
|
| In details (if at all) I had these
blood lettings: |

2. Series x times |
3. Series x times |

| My average blood pressure in the
following was (after resting, in mm/Hg): |
| after 4 weeks |
143/95 |
| after 8 weeks |
120/83 |
| after 12 weeks |
122/82 |
|
| The medication I stopped as follows

remarked, after having started to follow Dr. Schnitzer's
recommendations (please describe in your words): |
I lost 5-7 pounds
of flab, firmed up, and I have more energy. Also I feel better
about myself and am much more aware of what I need to eat to

Final remarks about my experience with this change in my
life:
|
I plan to keep watching what I eat throughout
the rest of my life using your suggestions, exercising, keeping my
weight under control, meditating and relaxing taking deep
breathes, and getting enough sleep. As I age I hope to keep my
blood pressure under control to avoid the high risk of
cardiovascular disease experienced by 50 % of our society. Thank
you for your continued research in this area.

Annotation:
How easy it is to cure a beginning hypertension, when a sensible
and intelligent patient meets a reasonable doctor! By following the
nutritional advices of the book "Hypertension
Causes & Cure" at only 66 %, the patient could normalize
her blood pressure from recently elevated 167/103 mm/Hg to again
normal 120/83 mm/Hg, within only 8 weeks. At the same time, her
general health improved: "I lost 5-7 pounds of flab, firmed up,
and I have more energy. Also I feel better about myself and am much
more aware of what I need to eat to remain healthy."
Having learned from this experience, the patient concluded, from
now on to keep watching what she eats for the rest of her life.
"As I age I hope to keep my blood pressure under control to avoid
the high risk of cardiovascular disease experienced by 50 % of our
society. Thank you for your continued research in this area."
Her doctor, although feeling he shouldn't start to prescribe
hypertension medication to this patient, and advising her to
"change her lifestyle", only knew that to get more sleep and
more exercise could do the job. About nutritional aspects, obviously
he didn't have any knowledge.
My question to the Teachers of Medicine, who are responsible at the
Universities for the course of medical studies: "Why don't you
teach your students of medicine about the fundamental importance of
nutrition? When speaking about the 'Oath of Hippocrates' (460-375
B.C.), why don't you teach them about this important part of the oath:
'I will apply dietetic measure for the benefit of the sick according
to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice
...'? Why don't you teach and train them to receive this ability and
judgment?"
This failure of Teachers of Medicine is a main cause, why the
population is chronically ill, and why their offspring are
increasingly degenerating, physically as well as mentally. I would be
very glad to receive opinions from colleagues to this question. My
e-mail-address is Dr.Schnitzer@t-online.de
