The 4 Causes of High Blood Pressure
If you know the causes of high blood pressure, then you can more3 easily correct the condition. There are four types of hypertension, three with the same health challenge. The three types often reported on, primary, secondary and drug-induced hypertension.
The fourth type of high blood pressure: Idiosumo hypertension. This is high blood pressure caused by an inaccurate reading from using inappropriate equipment and or white coat hypertension.
Primary aka Essential Hypertension Causes
What are the causes of high blood pressure?
It has been said that for 95% of those who have high blood pressure in the U.S., the reason cannot be determined. This type of high blood pressure is called essential hypertension. Although the cause is thought to be unknown, we disagree. We know the reason. Read on and you will too.
How can we know what causes high blood pressure when the entire medical establishment does not? We know because once corrected using holistic nursing treatments, high blood pressure goes away. And it is not rocket science. Holistic treatments are in the medical research, only the doctors, who are primarily driven by the pharmaceutical companies, do not read or follow their own research.
Follow the Evidence: It May Be Dehydration
Like a crime scene investigator, follow the primary hypertension cause evidence. First, primary hypertension develops over many years. This means that it is caused by something we are doing or not doing. To say it is simply a side effect of aging, then everyone would have it. Everyone does not have high blood pressure. So, the most likely suspect is diet or other exposures or assaults to our body.
How do holistic nurses lower the bodies high blood pressure? One of the first things we look at is fluid volume and electrolyte imbalance. Once corrected, blood pressure comes down in 98% of the people who are treated as whole and not just the symptom. Note: If you have kidney disease or are already on numerous medications, this is not for you. The increased water and salt (fluid and electrolytes) may have an effect on the medications you are taking or may cause further damage to the kidneys.
Are there any other clues? You hear doctors say to eat less salt. Why not drink more water?
Is there a difference between table salt and sea salt used for our diet? Doctors, nurses and even the educators of these say it is the same thing. However, if you look at the science, they are very different. More importantly, what they do inside the body is quite different too. Increasing unprocessed sea salt and water can cause your blood pressure to normalize.
Secondary Hypertension Causes
Secondary high blood pressure causes are related to an underlying health condition.
This type of high blood pressure often appears suddenly and results in higher blood pressure than does primary hypertension.
Medical conditions may be the cause of secondary hypertension.
Kidney Disease and Conditions
Adrenal gland benign or malignant tumorsCongenital blood vessel defects
Acute and Chronic dehydration Note: This is not well reported in literature
Dehydration is the loss of total body water, resulting in hypertonicity, (the preferred medical term instead of dehydration), whereas volume depletion refers to a deficit in extracellular fluid volume.
Drug-induced hypertension
In addition to medical conditions and some medications cause secondary hypertension Ibuprofen
Medications including birth control pills, decongestants, cough and cold medications, over-the-counter pain killers and some prescription drugs
Illegal drugs, such as cocaine and amphetamines
Naproxen
These may cause the kidneys not to function as well and result in fluid retention NSAIDs may be in cough and cold medications.
Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) is notable as one of the causes of high blood pressure.
Some migraine medications tighten the vessels in the brain which may help with headaches but it can raise blood pressure.
Weight loss medications can put your body in overdrive along with your blood pressure.
Idiosumo Hypertension
Help: Who does not want to create a new word. I am pressed for the best way to describe in medical terms (latin) what taking blood pressure wrong would be referred to. Any thoughts, please submit and lets create a new medical term and help make the health care a little better.Sometimes high blood pressure is the result of improper blood pressure taking techniques. Either the health care pressure taker or we are taking our own blood pressure wrong and getting a higher than accurate reading.
Using the wrong cuff size for the arm, wrong placement on the arm, wrong position of the arm are among some of the reasons for artificially high blood pressures.
Holding the arm up, having the arm below the heart, not having the back supported or the patient simply talking could cause an inaccurate blood pressure reading.
Failure to recognize confounding factors. In June of 2014, a client was seeing her doctor for high blood pressure. She waited for over an hour and on seeing the doctor, the doc spent more time talking with the daughter than with her. On talking about the hypertension, the doctors patient said, "What do you expect. I had to wait to see you for an hour and on seeing you, you did not even talk to me, you talked to my daughter." She related how the doctor raised her voice and said she would have to get another service to care for her. On reviewing her History and Physical, turns out she has had long term back pain of 10 on the 10 scale. Relieving the pain reduced her blood pressure significantly.
When considering the causes of high blood pressure, consider other things going on in the body.
Even the doctor taking the blood pressure instead of a nurse could cause an elevated reading. It is called white coat hypertension.

It is amazing how so many things that are new to us were common knowledge in the past. One basic practice of the Water Cures protocol is to drink at least 30-45 minutes before and 2 1/2 hours after a meal. This is not a new thought however. Notice what a magazine from 1925 had to say...
"Drink plenty of water two hours after each meal; drink none just before eating; and a small quantity if any at meal time. Do not take a bath until two hours after eating a meal, nor closer than one hour before eating. Drink a full glass of water both before and after the bath." (Golden Age, Sept. 9, 1925, pp. 784-785)

Dear Water Cures I told an 86 year old woman about the water and salt. She was on high blood pressure meds and a plethera of other things. I didn't tell her to stop any of it, just how much water she should be drinking with a little salt. I visited her a week later and I couldn't believe the change in her. She wasn't using her walker, talked faster, sharper and had her zest for life back. She couldn't thank me enough. She said that she wasn't taking her blood pressure medication because she didn't need it. I cautioned her on that but she said no she didn't need it. She continues to thrive at 86! |
We do not recommend stopping medications with out consulting your doctor. Stopping some medications abruptly can have serious consequences.
If you are on a lot of medications, do not start the water cures protocol without a doctors supervision. As our stories show, some medications may work too good (because they are now more effective) and may cause unwanted side effects from overdoses.
At Water Cures, we are not in it for the money. We are in it to help, to pay it forward.

Hi, my name is Sharon. The webmaster of this site is my nurse, my personal water coach and my husband.
As this site was first being built, I had a headache and as usual took an Ibuprofen. Impatient for it to start working, I decided to try the Water Cures. I took a pinch of salt and a glass of water. Then I took a second pinch of salt and another glass of water. My headache was gone in less than 5 minutes.
From my personal experience, it usually takes 30 to 45 minutes for Ibuprofen to work. Some have found it takes ibuprofen 24 minutes to start working.
Yet on the Water Cures protocol, my headache was gone in 5 minutes.
Its simple: give your body what it needs and your body will give you what you need, the ability to feel great.
Water Cures was the solution for the elimination of my headache. It is what I will use from now on.
Why not give it a try yourself.
