Healing Hypertension: A Revolutionary New Approach

The author is well qualified to write about hypertension, and he provides a substantial amount of evidence to support the hypothesis that for some people, past experiences are a cause of hypertension. Ideally this book would be updated with a new edition, and co-authored by a psychiatrist. However the book is quite useful for anyone whose hypertension does not appear to respond quickly to medication.

I want to give it a 6 out of 5. This book may have saved my wife's life. Doctors, even specialists, seem not to know much about hypertension and high blood pressure. There is a place for drugs, usually multiple drugs in combination, where serious heart damage has already happened. But each drug, especially in combination are dangerous. This book gives you the baseline to use before you accept prescriptions. Most illuminating though is that 95% of hypertension is emotional, psychological, and/or past incident driven. He addresses treatment starting from lifestyle, then mind/emotion generated and then drugs. He points out that specific diagnosis is of emotional causes is difficult from the outside (the doctor, for instance) and equally so for the patient. The up side is that the treatment of emotional/psychological sources are non-invasive, non-life threatening and relatively cheap - with no side effects. His information about "mechanisms" that are causes is worth the whole book.

Dr. Mann treats the patient not the disease. I am encouraged and impressed by Dr. Mann's desire to work toward finding the cause of hypertension.. I was surprised by the introduction of a potential cause for some individuals but not all. This book provides a hopeful and surprising outcome for individuals, experiencing hypertension, who may be unaware of the impact of past events in their own lives. Dr. Mann provides an avenue to explore. Though the course of exploration may require a considerable amount of personal hard work for the patient, the pay off is worth the effort. It is like exercise. If we choose not to do the hard work of exercise we suffer the consequences. Maintaining our optimum health, to the best of our ability, requires vigilance and a fair amount of personal effort. Exploring all that this book suggests is a potential ground breaker in the treatment of hypertension.I have purchased two additional books to share as gifts for a a physician and a psychologist. I believe Dr. Mann is pointing us in a vital direction. He is a shining example for other physicians in the important methods of relating to the patient and not just treating a disease.

Book offered me a new perspective on Hypertension. Dr Mann is a genius !

100 per cent great information!!
