The US Dept of Health and Human Services are realizing that health conditions can be resolved with other approaches along with mainstream medicine. In a recent article, women had six things that could help lower their risk of high blood pressure. Those things are as follows:
1) keep a normal weight
2) exercising an average of 30 minutes a day
3) eating a healthy diet
4) drink alcohol in moderation
5) avoid OTC pain relieves
*6) taking 400 micrograms (not milligrams) or more of supplemental folic acid
Supplementation is becoming more acceptable in traditional medicine. The study to use folic acid, as recommended by the HHS, is in the Journal of American Medical Association and supported by the National Institutes of Health. This article can be found at www.hhs.gov/news/healthbeat/2009/08/20090827a.html.
I suggest that you are advised by a healthcare provider, Doctor of Chiropractic or Medical Physician, as you begin to take various forms of supplementation due to harmful interactions with other prescribed medications or herbal supplements.
It is my opinion that we will see more and more of "alternative" healthcare being used with traditional medicine as we see changes with our healthcare system.
Health and Wellness to You,
Dr. Trost
