About Me
May 26, 2007
Hi! I’m Linda Martin, a 55-year-old woman planning to recover from hypertension. Don’t confuse me with statistics! I know few people actually recover, but I’m determined to have a healthier lifestyle and eliminate all high blood pressure medications safely and naturally, one way or another.
Already I’ve gotten off Atenolol, a beta-blocker. That was the first one I wanted to recover from because it was keeping me from losing weight since aerobics won’t work if your pulse rate is kept low artificially. I used Atenolol for ten years and gained fifty pounds because of it. Now I have to struggle to lose the weight as well as recover from prescription drugs that weren’t entirely healthy for me.
Another condition that affects my weight is hypothyroid disorder. I will be looking for natural remedies for hypothyroid (have already found a few) and want to wean myself off this and another hypertension drug.
PS - If you want to see me, you can click on the photo above for a larger version… that’s me at the Sluice Box River Access in the Klamath River Valley near Seiad Valley, California, in 2008.
