Elevated blood pressure is a major risk factor for a heart attack or stroke. In fact, it is generally regarded as the greatest of the risk factors for a stroke. Although physicians are primarily concerned with diastolic pressure (the second number in the blood pressure reading), systolic pressure is also an important factor. Individuals with a normal diastolic pressure (< 82) but elevated systolic pressure (> 158) have a twofold increase in their cardiovascular death rates compared to individuals with normal systolic pressures < 130).

Since over eighty percent of patients with high blood pressure are in the borderline-to-moderate range, most cases of high blood pressure can be brought under control through changes in diet and lifestyle. In fact, in head-to-head comparisons, many nondrug therapies have proven superior to drugs in cases of borderline-to-mild hypertension.

High blood pressure should not be taken lightly. By keeping your blood pressure in the normal range, you will not only lengthen your life, but you will improve the quality of your life as well. This is especially true if natural measures, rather than drugs are used to attain proper blood pressure; the drugs carry significant side effects such as fatigue, headaches and impotence.

We at Choosing Nature care about you and your loved ones. We maintain a policy that anyone who walks through our doors can receive a free blood pressure test. So stop in, the test is painless. It takes only a few moments and you will have the peace of mind knowing your blood pressure is were it should be or you will know that you must address a health issue. If need be we can test your levels of sugar, ammonia, nitric oxide, electrolytes, dehydration, vit C, digestion, adrenal stress, and even run a complete cholesterol lipid panel for a nominal fee. If you have family who rely on you to keep your presence on this earth then it is your responsibility to know you are doing what it takes to stay healthy.

Ode To Dr. Fay

There's always a day
That's depressing and gray
Ugly sickness sneaks in for a stay
We moan and we groan
And we run to the phone
To call a young doctor named Fay

Dr. Thomas J. Fay
Has a whole lot to say
Full of wonder and knowledge is he
He can heal with a smile
And he does it with style
Chasing sick, painful problems away

He came to us in a whirlwind of knowledge, capability and healing power. His doses of medicine were the wonderful substances of our sweet earth. These were mixed together with a natural and instinctive love. (Like a flower that grows and blooms, sharing it's bounty of fragrance to all in it's path, yet, keeping always the secret and majesty of it's growth to itself).

That dear friend, was our introduction to Dr. Thomas Fay, who came into our lives and made us well.

Sue Darnell

"Thank you Mrs. Darnell I am humbled." Doc Fay

This is for older people only ...... younger people may try it at their own risk.

But those who are getting along in years, and would like to adopt this regimen, three days a week works well.

Begin by standing straight, with a 5-LB. potato sack in each hand. Extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can - try to reach a full minute. Relax.

After a few weeks, move up to 10-LB. potato sacks, and then 50-LB. potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-LB potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight out for more than a full minute.

After you feel confident at that level, start putting a couple of potatoes in each of the sacks, but be careful not to overdo it.
