High Blood Pressure - Raw Food

[iampeeay01]

from now on i will start eating more fruits and vegies and say goodbye to pork and beef... :) thanks so much for sharing this video... it helped me a lot... :)

[HelenaParthenos]

This would be better if you would let the guy talk.

[ranhorse]

Eating actual natural food as our bodies evolved over millions of years to do can cure all sorts of ailments. Great work in educating people with your program!

At one point I had blood pressure that was up at 180/120 as an average! I managed to cure my own hypertension, today I am down at 115/70. And I have created a guide at highbloodpressurecures.info that includes the vitamins, minerals, diet and methods that I used to heal myself.

[SpazChat]

Oh my god, quit gloating about how good looking he is fag.

[taichigreentea]

try eat Tai Chi Green Tea. It may help lower blood pressure! 

[Crosisborg]

Arnold is a terrible interviewer. He interrupts his guests way too much.

[bluesdog88]

@Crosisborg I don't think he is trying to be rude, he just wants to get this important message across ;)

[morisssey]

hey people don't eat any medecine!!! Get C, D vitamins, potassiuma and magnesium and 20-30 minutes of fast walking, get sweat ! And no processed food just homemade meals! Eat meatless tacos, fajitas, nachoos, chinese (all meatless)

[morisssey]

Thanks for your advise. I'm alway buying low sodium Kwong Brand (2% or 15% sodium) . My problem is a lack of exercise. Also i love cheese which is loaded with sodium too.. 20 min. of fast walking on treadmill drops my blood pressure 10mg but most of the time i can't find time for it . Right now i don't exercise and I'm at 130/90. If i would exercise awould be 120/80 or so. I don't eat meat for a year , but once a month i have some meat meal like koser hot dogs or burger.

[tayman1975]

You like you have.

[Digit3537]

Is this man on the left single? I don't believe it ;-)

[Dynaverse]

I have this horrible stream of illness, im 25. Id really like to get in contact with you arnold, i have megan on my fb, can i contact you throgh her?

I have a story to tell, if i can even lower 1 medication an keep it normal ill be happy. Im sick of being sick, and sick of my pressure medication side effects

[tbursee]

I'm on high blood pressur emedicien now. .Sometimne I notice when I forget to take it , my blood pressure is still pretty much the same. I hate taking the pills though. I've started eating better and I do an hour a day on the eliptical machine.

[morisssey]

Well, I dropped my high BP with eating NO animal fat at all = NO Cholesterol,NO eggs. I eat delicius warm chinese homemade food , lot of garlic, veggies, olive oil, mushrooms and soy sauce. I can't eat so much raw veggies and fruits, it's no fun. I love warm meals as mongolian mushrooms, vegetable stir fries with rice, mexican meals with NO animal fat, NO meat, The blood pressure drops this way nicely down!

[muttr]

@morisssey You know that soy sauce is loaded with sodium. That is alot of salt in your diet. Pretty much you guarantee getting high bp with that diet. Don't take my advice take a nutritional class from your local college or talk to dietitian. Also common sense

[Crosisborg]

@muttr Sorry no. The health sciences are backing away from the high sodium/ high BP link. If you have a healthy diet and proper exercise then the salt in soy sauce is completely irrelevent.

[villagefem]

IKeep up the good work ... Handsome.....winks.

[LauraBeachnut]

1:12 - 1:13  "WTF dude, can I talk? WTF did you invite me on here for if you are gonna wag yer gums. STFU dude"

[Burleyson]

Arnold I love these videos. Both the videos and you are 110% hokie but I still cant stop watching these videos. BTW I think eating raw is the way to go. You are a good man, possibly a minsh.

[mkmason2002]

Yes, he is a good lookin' guy!

[dillon822]

meat is actually good, we need it to power our brains, we need the essential fatty acids and real protien. its how we evolved....

[korvix]

@dillon822 yes but not the commercial frozen burgers full of chemicals and dead enzyms

[jessomglol]

@dillon822

lots and lots and LOTS of vegetables and other raw foods such as nuts, hemp, spirulina have EFAs and "real" protein. Mexico used Spirulina algae as their main source of protein for over 5000 years.

[SuperSanfrancis]

@dillon822 Hi, respectfully, I used to think like you, after I read " The China Study " Check the reviews in Amazon. I no longer eat animal products, I'm no longer sick, I fell better now.

[therawfooddiet]

I happen to view your video, and was kind of impressed by your work. Great job! Try to watch my video thanks~~

[Desolator1]

hmm interesting, I have 138/82 wich is a handicap level for a 20 year old physicly active guy. My organs like heart and kidneys are in perfect shape and I don't smoke or drink or anything like that. However I hate fruits, barely eat any at all but I do like vegetables. Doctors have no idea why I have HBP and I hate ANY kind of medication yet I am cused to use BP pills for the rest of my days. Looks like I will give fruits a try, hopefully I can get better...eat balanced food people

[amphaynes]

@Desolator1 ..i am 28 in the exact same boat, weight 178, 6"1 and workout including a lot of cardio...my HBP is caused by anxiety, but i dropped my medicines and took up juicing it has worked wonders. now my blood pressure is pretty consistantly at 115/73 or so.

[Desolator1]

@amphaynes how long did it take you to drop your blood pressure to normal? By juicing you mean drink a lot of juice or eat a lot of fruits or both? What was your earlier BP? 115/73 is superb BP! Well done! Hope to get somewhere close to that soon...

[amphaynes]

well before it was high, i even had to go to the hospital cause i was having an anxiety attack because of it and that made it worse...it was around 160/100, but i bought a juicer and read up on veggies that are supposed to lower HBP and it has worked...i juice celery, asparagus, kale, carrots, beets, cucumbers. chard, broccoli, spinach, and other weird stuff i can find at a farmers market...not necessary all together. worth a shot cause regardless all that stuff is really healthy anyways

[creten69]

yeah but i would reccommend a spech theapist , a workout program , and a nerd I dont have a clue about my spirit alert. You need to run the planet forest,b4 u respond.

[nathanbeechey05]

ya i eat high protein all the time low carb. but the carbs i do eat come from green beans brown rice.

[cartgp1]

The guy in the left looks like Michael Kasparovich (Former Australian Fast Bowler)

[litebug12345]

I started taking Levodyn because i was keen to bring my blood pressure down without resorting to prescription medicine. i have been taking it for less than 4 weeks but have already noticed a change. Before taking Levodyn my blood pressure was 152/86, it is now 128/76. i am really impressed.

[happilylil]

i started taking Levodyn and it's really great. i really felt great since i started taking it.

[NYCman530]

Doesn't a diet like this lack enough protein?

[emzirek]

Your body recycles most of the protein and you do not need a lot each day. Tomatoes have plenty and they have more than mothers breast milk per serving.

[SuperSanfrancis]

@NYCman530 Maybe you would be interested to know what happens to rats when they are fed 20% animal protein vs what happens when they are fed 5% animal protein? Better yet, what happens when they are fed plant base protein? You can find out by reading reviews of "THE CHINA STUDY" book at Amazon.com

[Squabbles10]

Starvin for protein ?

[bigpinkears]

Protein breaks down into basic amino acids when you eat them. Fruits and vegetables are chock full of amino acids. Since they don't occur in the more complex protein that needs to be broken down by the digestive system before your body can use it to nourish and repair tissues, you get the benefits much faster from eating raw fruits and vegetables.

Man, just try it for *yourself* for 90 days. 100% raw vegan. And make sure that you use a website such as fitday to count nutrients.

[5977theweave4321]

Thanks for you comment. I'm Joe, the guy in the video. Your right about milk. I will not drink any ever again.

[chrisminnicks]

Wonderful. Just what we need is a paranoid scientist. Ironically you'll probably end up working for the government that you say is trying to kill us all.

[chrisminnicks]

He's not talking about his ass? I can't argue with a dull mind. And by doing research I assume you mean to find the same crackpot conspiracy theory information that led you to these brilliant deductions in the first place. I'll pass.

[sacredshakti]

Don't look for theories. Form your own theoriez. These raw foodists are scientists forming their own theories and they look young, healthy, and good. Also, check out "The Protein Myth" it's here on Youtube!

[KimberleeMelissa]

What a cutie! :)

[LauraBeachnut]

**cues Natalie Coles "this will be" song**

[alanac777]

Thank you for your video! I really enjoyed it! Thank you for taking time to care about some one else!

[joycealice]

I'm a new raw vegan. You say to avoid grains. Why would that be? Thanks for sharing your information

[5977theweave4321]

Because they lack nutritional value. The more nutrition you can get per calorie, the healthier you become.

[Xavier350]

super food smoothies would help tons with health probs

[5977theweave4321]

Meat and cheese are the two worst things you can eat and are best avoided. Seafood is a proven cancer food.Green vegetables contain plenty of protein, so you maintain your strength, while loosing fat and increasing color in your skin.Milk is hazardous to your health.

[sacredshakti]

Nature intended cow's milk to be used for baby cows. Humans are the only species that eat another animal's milk! Isn't that interesting?

Yes pasteurized milk is put in a giant vault, heated to boiling temperatures, then packaged and sold to unsuspecting humans. The meat and dairy industry are huge, and they don't want us to know that they are selling disease and death to nations.

Dairy's toxic :)

[chrisminnicks]

if dairy is toxic, why arent we all dead?

[sacredshakti]

it's a matter of whether or not you're among the living, or among the living dead. It's all about choice.

[chrisminnicks]

so everyone from all the generations that came before us in america were all among the living dead?

[sacredshakti]

The generations before us did not eat highly processed foods, did not eat slaughterhouse meat, did not drink homogenized, ultra pasteurized milk, did not live sedentary lives, did not eat candy, potato chips, ice cream, hydrogenated oils, genetically modified soy, corn, wheat, etc. They did not breathe air contaminated with fossil fuels and they did not drink water contaminated with flouride, mercury, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, etc. The generations before us lived in harmony with the earth.

[chrisminnicks]

what generations were those? cavemen? the closest generation you could be talking about would be the native americans, and i wouldn't be too hasty to compare lifespans between us and them. or quality of life. or general good health.

[sacredshakti]

and harmony with the earth and universe is where we are once again headed.

[sacredshakti]

the truth is, we have all been lied to by Big Dairy business, who says, "Does a body good" It's all propaganda. Milk is a major mucous producer and diseases thrive in mucousy environments. Cow milk is for baby cows. That's what nature intended. People have just been conditioned to drink it, and it has become an accepted norm. The protein in milk leeches calcium from your bones. Also, there are no enzymes in pasteurized milk.

[Squabbles10]

how do you strenghthen teeth ?

[emzirek]

Vit. D is free = sunshine. Calcium shouldn't come from milk as that is the wrong kind of calcium. Get the right kind they way cows do, green leafy foods.

[bigpinkears]

Do your research, not everyone can get vitamin d that way. The mechanism can becom disordered.  Also, supplemental vitamin d is a good treatment for some problems, including at least osteoperenia (sp), EVEN in folks who get lots of sun.

[emzirek]

Teeth are bones and once they are in your mouth they really can't be strengthened. As a baby, teeth are growing new and if a baby eats only raw food from an early age, their teeth will be very strong for life. Taking care of your teeth as best you can should be all you should worry about. You can't really change them, save for keeping them healthy by proper hygiene.

[jytou]

BRAVO!

[andijab000]

how do you clean off pesticides? (if you can not be sure that there are organic).

[AlanKeyes2]

Just buy Organic food !

[andijab000]

wow, thx 4 th smart ans.

[AlanKeyes2]

hey you asked a very simple easy question, thats the appropriate and honest answer !

Is there anything else i can help with

[koolbossjock]

Warm water/salt and lemon juice in the sink.Put whatever it is you want to wash and then watch the Exon oil spill rise to the top.This info came when i bought my Juiceman many years ago.Rinse with distilled water so you do not rinse it with water that has flouride.

[goatboyjnr]

they don't look healthy, either of them. i wouldn't trust him. i'm in to nutrition and lots of raw food, but all that fruit, especially bannanas...can you say diabetes?!?! bannanas are hybridised (cross bred) to contain a ton of sugar, you need CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM CO Q10 AND FOLATE, found in greens and nuts seeds etc. pottassium aswell, ut you don't need all those bannanas, just cucumber etc. olive leaf and hawthorn berries are also effective herbal remedies.

[autumn1231]

10 - 15 bananas  a day. no wonder you look and talk like a chimp LOL

[ladymagnoliaa]

hahaha

[Seyahhsod]

Oh, thats a classy touch. Making fun of the sick. What kind of person did your parents raise. (BEFORE YOU REPLY AND BE A SMART ASS SERIOUSLY ASK YOURSELF , "what kind of person did my parents raise to make fun of sick people"?

Come on guy, get it together.

[lumabi25]

I've been raw over four months now. My blood pressure is still too high off medication (I'm 37 years old). I must be a special case. I'm sure there is an answer but I have searched high and low and have yet to find it. No-one else seems to be able to figure it out or they won't say what worked for them when you ask. It's quite disappointing for me.

[Seyahhsod]

have you tried cutting out high Fructose Sugar products?

[lumabi25]

Absolutely. I consume nothing with refined sugars, so no soft drinks in particular. Mostly I have fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, and when I do eat something that's been prepared by a company I read the label to make sure it doesn't have anything I'd rather avoid.

Meanwhile my uncle is working with me using an alternative modality to see if the blood pressure problem can be solved.

[Seyahhsod]

I never tried this studied this or anything. However, this woman at my old job who doesn't like to talk to ANYONE told me something about a surgery using some sort of ballon that widens an artery (or vein. Cant remember) in your leg and somehow this lets blood pass through faster and with less pressure and she is now of of her BP medication. The only thing I can think of is an Angioplasty. I think thats how you spell it. I wanted to investigate that further but I also wanted to change my diet

[origirox]

and do you exercise?

[lumabi25]

I walk/jog about 5 times a week and do weights 3 times a week.

[origirox]

Good for you! I need to increase my walking. I look forward to more energy. I love my green smoothies. =)

[jomphoto]

DUDE- get your people to look AT the camera- do not let them look all over the place :-).... and I really loved this video, he looks great for 42

[purewonka]

15 bananas a day!!! Um, that's a pile of sugar. Way to expansive for me. Greens are the key to vibrant health.

[PISSDIETdotCom]

Cheese is Genocide

[HaraldJohnsen]

Great testimonial from Mr Weaver here.

Even though I've been a real Nutrition Nerd for two decades, the only real dietary solution to my blood pressure problem was eating a diet mostly consisting of raw fruits and vegetables. And lower BP was just one of many benefits. Why does this approach work so well for so many issues? Clue: It's the natural way to eat. We were meant to eat this way. I can't believe I didn't go Raw years ago - I definitely should have.

Two thumbs up for Arnold.

[botrjez]

You are right.But can you get enough protein and carbs from fruits,vegetables and nuts so that you don't lose too much weight?I mean if you are a hard physical worker who burns alot of callories during work you would surely start losing alot of weight.If you have a non-physical demanding job that's a different story.If you work hard labor you can't afford to start losing muscle and become weak.

[anandjee]

Blood Pressure is measured ad nauseum and now even at home (which is more meaningful)

Blood pressure is through excessive sympathetic Fight or flight drive.

Blood Pressure is a symptom: not a disease.

If you successfully reduce your stress levels you permanently reduce Blood pressure: no doctors, no nurses, no drugs, no costs, no side effects and ++ patient empowerment.

Dr Anand MBBS MRCGP

[botrjez]

I had high blood pressure last year about 145-155/85-90.But now it's about 125/75.What worked for me is that I started running five times a week and started eating bananas,apples,mango every day.The most important thing is that you must exercise hard so that your body sweats alot and not go too easy on yourself like the doctors keep telling you.You also must drink at least 2 liters of water a day and cut down on products that contain white flour,dairy products,canned foods,salt and sweets.

[kitanzi]

good...i will do it,too.

i just found today that i like running.

makes me happy.

your comment encouraged me.

[poppy90290]

Awesome, Joe! Thanks, Arnold for this wonderful testimony. Really glad for you, Joe!

Raw living vegan foods is paradise on earth!

[girotube]

Last night I had Chineese food with Sunkist Soda and today my BP was 154/110

My Doctor has me under Avalid 150mg which I hate to take because when I eat right and sleep well I can control my BP without taking the Avalid... BUT my sleep disorder and eating the wrong food is the main reason. I can steel feel the sodium in my mouth from the chicken wings... like an after taste of salt.

Last night I was not able to sleep right because of the meal I had... I'm 36 also 40 lbs over!

[kitanzi]

eat greek food...with olive oil and yogurt.

actually some chinese food is very good.

try guang xi food which is as good as greek food...guang xi food is very sour

[azcardzfan2005]

I eat a diet that mainly consists of funnel cakes and fried chicken and chocolate and wash it down daily with a 1.75 of Old Grand Dad. could that be the cause of my hypertension

[5977theweave4321]

Yes. Funnel Cakes lack nutrition,and any meat product raises blood pressure. The Old Grand Dad could contribute.

[isat214]

i had hypertension when i was pregnant in 2002 until 2005. doctors say it's not curable. it's manageable, they say. balderdash! i hit the gym and became a vegetarian. goodbye, hypertension!

[HaraldJohnsen]

Haha, Isat, yes, a lot of doctors say a lot of funny things a lot of the time. :)

[ARTOFWAR2008]

143 over 102 is that bad?

[5977theweave4321]

Yes, but with those numbers the cure is rapid. I would guess about 2 weeks, if that.

[baypelham]

I smoke 3 packs of lucky strike and drink a half a bottle of scotch a day do you think this could be the cause

[5977theweave4321]

A factor, but not necessarily the cause.

[511christian]

i got 245 degree blood pressure im not even fat and im only 14 lol =(

[LiptonGuy]

What part of the country are located ?

California or maybe Portland, Oregon ?

Just a guess.

[5977theweave4321]

Lansdale, PA.

[DARTAGNANS170]

Great, Arnold!

[sexbrain]

Thank you Arnold. You are right!

Living food is the way to go.

Eating Raw keeps me happy, positive and full of energy all the time!

Thanks for being so articulate about our way of life.

[onegahighbp]

follow me to watch movie about

high blood pressure treatment device

[woodstar71]

Mate: you on the right, should be on the same diet, cause you look like you are just about fucked,you look like the mad doctor from young doctors in love (1982)

[ArnoldsWay]

Thanks for the comment I have been called worse but I do my thing and you do yours Have a great day Mate

[woodstar71]

Sorry arnold for insult, i feel bad now.

[TerenYoung]

You should

[DharmaTechster]

If Arnold could just shut up once in a while, I'd watch more of his videos. He seems like a well meaning, nice guy and I wish him the best, I just can't for the life of me understand why he has to interrupt people ALL the fucking time.

[DharmaTechster]

Let me add that I DO enjoy these videos, though, I just wish the interviewee would get to say what he wants to say.

[ArnoldsWay]

Thanks for the advice My next 1000 success stoies I will try not to interrupt Thanks again

[DharmaTechster]

Haha, don't take my little rant too seriously, my friend. Actually, I should not ahve been so rude. I think I was probably a little agitated and impatient that day. I'm enjoying your videos and using your advice, so your videos are probably fine as they are. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them. So thank you instead, and thanks also for taking the time to reply to my comment.

Have an absolutely great day.

[whiskeymedic]

wow I never knew that - i'm probably repeating things you all ready tried - steam or parboiled then pulverized in a powerful mixer like a Vitamix ?

[mrchekky]

Why is it that when I eat a raw meal, I feel as if I havent eaten a thing all day, and I get really hungry and weak like my blood sugar has dropped.

[whiskeymedic]

how much protein are you eating?

[waseemzz1]

Natural stuff are always better than those chemicals being used 2day instead !! no wonder in than arnold...

keep goin...

[WIGNSWORD]

Yes raw foods treatment, even this specific program, is the path to healing for many. I like to hear about people joyously gorging down eighteen bananas a day, and carrot juice is nice too. Obviously people should approach Raw Foods holistically (Paleo, Fruitarian, sunfoodist, liquidarian &c.) and find within the variety what works for them. Division is the weakness of the Raw Food movement, its utter truth the strength! ...and remember your starches, folks!

[pinkytm1]

High potassium and low sodium sounds like the

mechanism for raw food diet lowering blood pressure.

[doingthatthang]

ARNOLD knows what he's talking about. KEEP SPEADING THE WORD ARNOLD.

[sonofoyah]

Arnold needs to go on a diet that will help him control his mouth.

[fireflycats]

Wow glad Joe was able to get off those nasty meds. I don't even want to start taking them but am allergic to raw carrots, celery, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew, nuts etc but hawthorne is among the things that have helped. Raw really is the way to go, wish I could-

[whiskeymedic]

just off the top of my head here - what is your allergic reaction? could it be your stomach is in such bad shape that

[fireflycats]

Thank you- I've had this all my life where my throat and inside of ears start to itch really bad, and bad enough to make me want to vomit sometimes. Surprisingly I've recently met a few people with the same reaction! I found that bananas, cantalope etc belong to the ragweed family 0.o Tummy's actually ok though.

[scentedflames01]

I like your videos...but I am interested in what the other person has to say....please let the guest speak!

[hiphoplover2007]

This video is so true, itz not even funny. Medication is poisionous. Health Diet helps, thatz no hoax.

[kimmijo]

Hey Arnold,

Dear Arnold,

Would you please stop interrupting Joe --

the poor guy can't finish a sentence!

I'm happy for you Joe, you're an inspiration and very cute! ;)

Peace

[hollystar87]

Yeah!!! this is awesome!!!!! RAW is the way its been around since the beggaining join us people th results are right in front of you!

[Stonelore]

No Joe that is not me

[webshaft]

I'm sure you meant "No thanks Joe,that is not for me".I have started with the green smoothies at night and I feel better than I have in years!Stonelore,give it a shot.

[webshaft]

I found this a very interesting and informative video.The guy on the left seems absorbed in this diet,and almost makes me want to try it!

[coa56]

good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
