High blood pressure can be simply explained as a faulty “timing response”. High blood pressure is appropriate for an aerobic and stressful activity such as running from a saber tooth tiger, but is physiologically inappropriate for resting and most other current daily needs. In other words, the body has gotten stuck in a survival response, and is operating “out of present time” with regard to blood pressure.
When blood pressure remains elevated over a period of time, the heart, blood vessels and muscles become damaged. Secondary problems such as heart disease, heart attack, blood clots, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, stroke, poor circulation and varicose veins may develop. The kidneys are also affected by the impaired circulation. The relentless stress of being in “flight or fight” all the time will lead to adrenal and immune system exhaustion (which opens the door to a host of other diseases).
The problems begin with an inflammatory response in the arteries which roughens the walls and allows cholesterol to build up. This inflamed buildup is called plaque. When plaque blocks the arteries, the heart does not get sufficient blood (oxygen). If the blood is viscous from dehydration and a piece of plaque breaks free, it can float through the impaired arteries until it lodges and forms a clot. A clot in the brain results in a stroke. The inflammation resulting from toxicity and impaired circulation will in turn affect the liver, and varicose veins will result. Further, in a stress (survival) response, the body will constrict certain blood vessels, shunting blood away from the extremities, and concentrating all the available nutrition and oxygen in the core of the body.
With such a complex physiological genesis for high blood pressure and other circulatory disorders, the best approach is prevention. Here the Six Essentials and other lifestyle changes are of vital importance: alkalizing the diet to prevent systemic inflammation, sufficient water to keep the blood circulating easily and assist in elimination of toxins, exercise to promote good circulation, and the inclusion of certain supplements in the diet (lycopene, niacin, vitamin E, antioxidants, magnesium are a few of importance).
However, the bottom line for healing high blood pressure is to reduce STRESS. This can be life stress from diet, lifestyle, or the environment, emotional stress from fear, anger and worry, or the complex stress of modern survival. The most significant stress of all is Subconscious Memory Override (SEMO), a condition in which subconscious thoughts and emotions create an energy block which is a constant stress for the body. The interference in the nervous system and limbic brain stands in the way of the body healing itself, even when we are doing all the “right” things.
It is vitally important to identify and remove this interference in order to restore healthy physiological functioning, i.e. reset the timing clock so that our body responds to what truly is the situation of the moment, not subconscious blockages from the past.
In all my years of practice, I have found the Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique to be the most powerful healing modality I can use directly on an individual to begin the exciting healing process of uncovering and removing interferences to health from the nervous system. I then guide patients through the Six Essentials so that they can live with optimum health.
