Yes its true. Find any good book on lowering BP naturally and most will have consistant information. One of the best holistic and knowledgable md's in the country, Dr. Mercola(IMHO), I would check out his website and see what he has to say about it. Organic is always good, but heck expensive. Go 2 Walmart, get the Nutribullet....it will b the best $90 you ever spent. I would personally buy beet roots at the supermarket, throw em in the Nutribullet. Fast and ez to clean. Im wondering why no one mentioned Potassium Citrate? Take like 6 caps, 3X/day at least. BP will go down, throw in some garlic tabs, Hawthorne berry caps, and your BP should b under control. I have high BP and take meds, this is what im Doing. I want to get off the meds soon......do some serious research for Oral Chelation. I believe that will actually cure your high BP. its basically a Roto-rooter for all your veins and arteries. Pm me if you want, there is 1 on the market thats the best i know of, its not cheap.
