if you know anything about blood pressure readings &#8211; has me very, very safely inside the healthy blood pressure range. No problems here! I\u2019m as fit as a fiddle.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not how it used to be.<\/p>\n<p>Four years ago I was the anxious owner of a regular 160\/110 blood pressure score &#8211; one that occasionally hit 210\/140.<\/p>\n<p>Which, you\u2019ll probably know, is life-threateningly high.<\/p>\n<p>The diagnosis of high blood pressure was followed by bad news, more bad news &#8211; and yet more bad news.<\/p>\n<p>The illnesses that follow high blood pressure include paralysis &#8211; by stroke &#8211; or death by heart disease.<\/p>\n<p>My physician explained how many different treatments we might have to try in order to save me from the worst cases.<\/p>\n<p>She told me what could go wrong with the treatments. Because they mostly came with side-effects.<\/p>\n<p>And she was right on all counts.<\/p>\n<p>I went through a range of medications &#8211; and they did all sorts of things to me.<\/p>\n<p>But the bottom line was that my blood pressure remained much too high.<\/p>\n<p>Which meant my health &#8211; my <em>life<\/em> &#8211; was at risk. Which worried me sick, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026 as I said, that was then.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I\u2019m fine. My blood pressure has been well within safe levels for 16 months straight.<\/p>\n<p>But the key to my consistently healthy blood pressure was nothing that my doctor did for me.<\/p>\n<p>I straightened out my blood pressure by simpler means.<\/p>\n<p>Which I\u2019ll tell you about right now.<\/p>\n<h3>Rejecting the meds cocktail<\/h3>\n<p>Standard drug remedies proved ineffective.<\/p>\n<p>Diuretics achieved nothing. My average blood pressure readings actually rose slightly in the two or three months after diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>So we added blockers. Still, my blood pressure continued to rise until, finally, it flattened out.<\/p>\n<p>It had stabilized &#8211; although my doctor suspected it would have done that anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it was way, way too high. And it looked like it was going to stay high.<\/p>\n<p>The meds came with side-effects: regular, nagging headaches.<\/p>\n<p>Some very bad stomach problems &#8211; if you know what I mean. That got embarrassing more than once.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most upsetting were the feelings of anxiety I began experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been a happy, cheerful person. Yet now I experienced worries I couldn\u2019t explain. Unhappiness that seemed to have no real cause. Nervousness. Fear, even.<\/p>\n<p>This had never happened to me before. I hated it.<\/p>\n<p>But my doctor assured me that meds will always create side-effects. If not these ones, I\u2019d have others. I could expect to experience them for as long as I took the meds.<\/p>\n<p>Which, she cheerfully informed me, would probably be for the rest of my life.<\/p>\n<h3>The arguments begin&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>After a two-year struggle to get the upper hand over this darned condition I came into a little conflict with my doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing was getting better. The longer my blood pressure was this high, the greater the risks to my life.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to talk about some other, non-drug possibilities for handling my blood pressure condition.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d already made drastic changes to my diet: no salt, plenty of vegetables, whole foods. Everything I could possibly do to help myself, I did it.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d cut out alcohol. And I walked twice a day.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to know what else I could do &#8211; that wouldn\u2019t bring on any new side-effects.<\/p>\n<p>She was well-meaning but at a loss. She insisted there was nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>I admit I grew quite irritable. She thought I was questioning her knowledge. I wasn\u2019t really &#8211;\u00a0 I was just becoming increasingly scared.<\/p>\n<h3>I wasn\u2019t the only one with high blood pressure<\/h3>\n<p>The thing is, I already knew of two people who had long-term high blood pressure &#8211; and after years of treatments both died of complications caused by the condition.<\/p>\n<p>One was my grandfather. The other was my father.<\/p>\n<p>My grandfather had two strokes. The second one deprived his brain of oxygen for so long he didn\u2019t survive.<\/p>\n<p>My dad died of a heart attack shortly after I graduated from college. He was 48.<\/p>\n<p>My doctor had already told me there was a genetic factor in high blood pressure. I was convinced the writing was on the wall for me.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, in the end, bad genetics didn\u2019t stop me successfully treating my blood pressure illness.<\/p>\n<p>But, in the meantime, I did lose my cool with my doctor. A strong sense of hopelessness was setting in.<\/p>\n<h3>One lucky break&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>Then I hit on a stroke of luck.<\/p>\n<p>Some years ago, my brother had suffered a painful, distressing condition known as TMJ. It started in the jaw and caused him intense pain, partial deafness and facial disfigurement. It was awful.<\/p>\n<p>But having seen two specialists my brother\u2019s TMJ was worsening &#8211; and he was desperate.<\/p>\n<p>A long story short, he found a natural health practitioner called Christian Goodman who had a very different attitude to illness.<\/p>\n<p>My brother followed Christian\u2019s specific advice &#8211; and started turning around his jaw pain in <em>days<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Three weeks later, he no longer had TMJ at all. After 5 years of suffering, the pain was completely gone. Over the next couple of weeks his hearing slowly returned &#8211; and his lopsided face adjusted back to normal.<\/p>\n<p>My brother wrote to Christian Goodman to ask him if he knew of anyone who could address high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly, Christian did know someone.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Himself!<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Physician, heal thyself&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>Turns out Christian had suffered years of high blood pressure himself.<\/p>\n<p>And, when treatments had failed to stop it getting steadily worse\u2026 he decided to do something about it himself.<\/p>\n<p>I got in touch with Christian to find out how come he no longer had high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s what I learnt.<\/p>\n<h3>Tackle <u>causes<\/u> to end illness<\/h3>\n<p>First, Christian has a solid track record of reversing a number of chronic illnesses that modern medicine is barely coping with.<\/p>\n<p>His philosophy is shockingly simple: he hunts down root <em>causes<\/em> for a particular condition &#8211; and tackles those causes.<\/p>\n<p>I thought that was what all medicine did!<\/p>\n<p>Not so. What doctors tend to do is treat the <em>symptoms<\/em> &#8211; not the causes.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Why does medicine tend to tackle the <em>effects<\/em> of an illness rather than its <em>causes<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because the <em>causes<\/em> of diseases are most often natural lifestyle things. Things we do, food we eat, our state of mind and so on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>None of these can be affected by pharmaceutical drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas <em>symptoms<\/em> &#8211; the pain we feel as a result of the cause &#8211; can be altered by pharma\u2019s drugs.<\/p>\n<p>So in a pill-popping industrial health society\u2026 the health industry prescribes pills to address symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>But addressing only the symptoms of an illness leaves the illness firmly in place.<\/p>\n<h3>We instinctively <u>know<\/u> this makes no sense<\/h3>\n<p>We only have to think this through for a minute &#8211; to see how doing it like this is madness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Consider this: it wasn\u2019t the lack of medications that <em>caused<\/em> our initial illness. So why must it be medications that resolve those illnesses?<\/p>\n<p>In truth, our bodies are a natural system and they go wrong for natural reasons.<\/p>\n<p>And the first thing your body tries to do when things go wrong\u2026 is make them go right. It <em>wants<\/em> to function properly.<\/p>\n<p>To help your body, it\u2019s sensible to <em>undo<\/em> the natural causes that made it go wrong in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Which is exactly what man-made drugs and medicines <em>don\u2019t do.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>They simply handle the effects of the illness.<\/p>\n<p>So we get more ill over time because the underlying illness is left in place. It\u2019s still there.<\/p>\n<p>Over time the illness worsens and becomes too much for the meds to handle.<\/p>\n<p>Which is when things start to go seriously wrong. And that\u2019s why people die of high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<h3><u>This<\/u> is how it works<\/h3>\n<p>Christian points out two insights so simple &#8211; and obvious &#8211; that when you hear them it almost sounds too easy to be true.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s insight number one:<\/p>\n<p>There can be half a dozen <em>factors<\/em> involved in your high blood pressure &#8211; but there\u2019s one common <em>cause<\/em> no matter what else is involved.<\/p>\n<p>That common cause?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the brain.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be specific about this:.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nothing<\/em> happens in your body without your brain\u2019s say-so.<\/p>\n<p>Everything &#8211; and I mean <em>everything<\/em> &#8211; is under its control.<\/p>\n<p>And the brain\u2019s role in creating your high blood pressure is absolutely central here.<\/p>\n<p>After all, what directly sets your heart rate? <em>Your brain<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What narrows or widens the arteries in response to its chosen blood pressure levels? <em>Your brain.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What ultimately determines the volume of blood your heart will pump throughout your body? <em>Your brain<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And so on. We can talk all day about other contributory factors\u2026 but when it comes down to it, everything begins and ends with what your brain decides.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s insight number two:<\/p>\n<p>Blood pressure is <em>always<\/em> a stress response. Whatever else <em>contributes<\/em> to it, stress is the first, primary <em>cause<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And stress results from an <em>instruction<\/em> from the brain.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once Christian realized that the cause of high blood pressure begins and ends with the brain &#8211; and that the brain was sending blood pressure sky high due to stress &#8211; he knew exactly what to do next.<\/p>\n<h3>I\u2019m kidding, right?<\/h3>\n<p>My blood pressure reading used to spike at 210\/140. Now, it averages 100\/70.<\/p>\n<p>Super-safe, in other words.<\/p>\n<p>I got it down to 100\/70 by directly addressing what my brain was doing to me.<\/p>\n<p>So, no. I\u2019m not kidding. Not one bit. Because this saved my life.<\/p>\n<p>It would have saved my grandfather\u2019s too.<\/p>\n<p>And my dad\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>But I understand why some people have to think about this for a moment. I did too!<\/p>\n<p>Because I have always been the least stressed person you could ever meet.<\/p>\n<p>I was <em>known<\/em> to be a laid-back, chilled person. One who never got angry, who was always cheerful&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I am rarely upset, never flustered, never take things personally. Life was good!<\/p>\n<p>So just how the heck would <em>stress<\/em> have anything to do with <em>my<\/em> high blood pressure?<\/p>\n<p>Well, let me tell you: turns out it really was the primary cause of my blood pressure misery\u2026 and it\u2019s the cause of yours too.<\/p>\n<h3>The 4 types of stress that everyone experiences<\/h3>\n<p>There are 4 types of stress. Everyone experiences all of them at some time or other.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Physical stress:<\/strong> comes from illness, working long hours or poor sleep. Ongoing, chronic pain &#8211; in the back or the neck or in joints for example &#8211; will cause damaging, ongoing stress. Oddly, this stress is also caused by healthy activity like intense physical effort or exercise.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Sensory stress<\/strong>: unwelcome noises &#8211; from traffic, loud television, barking dogs and so on &#8211; directly raises blood pressure. It includes a noisy environment &#8211; your home, your workplace or even your neighbors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Emotional stress<\/strong>: can originate from obvious causes like a bereavement or a troubled relationship. But this stress can become chronic with such things as money worries or feelings of guilt or anger. Background thinking that you hardly notice features very much here.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Mental stress<\/strong>: is often routine stress brought on by family or work worries. It\u2019s also the result of ongoing challenging tasks that require a lot of brain work &#8211; which includes difficult work but also juggling numerous personal domestic responsibilities or handling life difficulties.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Everybody experiences these four types of stress from time to time. Often, we\u2019ll experience more than one of them at a time.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s normal life. And in small, irregular doses\u2026 that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p>However, for hundreds of millions of us across the world one &#8211; or more &#8211; of these four stresses gradually gets out of hand. And that\u2019s where our blood pressure problems start.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s especially dangerous with these common types of stress is that they come on so gradually we don\u2019t notice them\u2026 so we simply learn to live with them.<\/p>\n<p>It can take years for the stress to reach dangerous levels &#8211; which is why high blood pressure is rare amongst teenagers but widespread amongst older adults.<\/p>\n<h3>I know this from experience<\/h3>\n<p>I would <em>never<\/em> have accepted that I was a stressed person.<\/p>\n<p>Yet it was only when I found a clear, peaceful mind that I realized just how tense I had been before.<\/p>\n<p>It was, to be honest, an incredible feeling, that sense of mental release&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And it was once I\u2019d found that calm\u2026 that my blood pressure plummeted.<\/p>\n<h3>Your doctor doesn\u2019t realize he already knows this<\/h3>\n<p>Remember: Christian\u2019s key insight is that the underlying cause of high blood pressure is the body\u2019s stress response.<\/p>\n<p>Which our brains directly cause.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s this stress response getting out of balance that&#8217;s sending our blood pressure sky high.<\/p>\n<p>Your physician knows this. It\u2019s just that he or she doesn\u2019t <em>know<\/em> they know this.<\/p>\n<p>How? Consider this:<\/p>\n<p>Did your physician advise you to exercise more, sleep well, eat better?<\/p>\n<p>He or she would have &#8211; and yet this advice mostly doesn&#8217;t affect blood pressure <em>directly<\/em> at all.<\/p>\n<p>It affects <em>stress<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Your health practitioner is offering lifestyle advice that mostly reduces <em>stress<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Which, in turn, lowers blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, these methods aren\u2019t especially good for lowering blood pressure. They\u2019re tackling the problem in an indirect way.<\/p>\n<p>Which is why we end up on meds anyway.<\/p>\n<p>But any effect they do have on <em>blood pressure<\/em> is because they\u2019ve reduced <em>stress<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What Christian Goodman achieves is what doctors already try &#8211; unsuccessfully &#8211; to do.<\/p>\n<p>Christian attacks stress <em>directly<\/em>. And when you do that you remove what <em>causes<\/em> high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Which means high blood pressure has only one direction of travel &#8211; and that\u2019s <em>down<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>A method with tens of thousands of fans<\/h3>\n<p>Christian\u2019s guide to achieving safe blood pressure readings is called \u2018The Blood Pressure Program\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the program shows us how to <em>reset<\/em> the brain so that it stops generating stress in the body.<\/p>\n<p>He likens it to rebooting a stuck computer.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll have seen that before\u2026 the screen freezes, or the cursor just spins round and round on the spot\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You wait and nothing happens.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly something is going on inside the computer that is making it malfunction. It\u2019s jammed up\u2026 and can\u2019t function properly.<\/p>\n<p>You switch the machine off, then switch it on.<\/p>\n<p>And everything\u2019s fine again.<\/p>\n<p>Everything that had clogged up your machine, that was slowing it down, making it seize up and malfunction\u2026 is gone.<\/p>\n<p>Now. Christian does <em>not<\/em> show you how to switch the brain off!<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he shows you how to gently reset it. To unjam it\u2026. To release it. To help it restore back to its previous healthy state.<\/p>\n<p>Just like you do with your computer.<\/p>\n<h3>The \u2018focused break\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>To do this Christian creates what he calls a \u2018focused break\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Which means that, for some minutes, the brain detaches from the pushes and pulls of ordinary life\u2026 and does the <em>one thing<\/em> almost nobody allows their brain to ever do.<\/p>\n<p><em>To take care of its own needs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It gets the opportunity it needs to get unclogged.<\/p>\n<p>To let go\u2026<\/p>\n<p>To settle&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And to find calm.<\/p>\n<p>And over a few days it finds its way back to working smoothly and perfectly. Just like a refreshed computer.<\/p>\n<p>The calming effect this has on your mind and body has to be felt to be believed.<\/p>\n<p>While the change in your blood pressure reading has to be <em>seen<\/em> to be believed\u2026!<\/p>\n<h3>Just 3 things<\/h3>\n<p>Christian\u2019s \u2018The Blood Pressure Program\u2019 consists of three very easy, non-physical exercises.<\/p>\n<p>They can be done while out for a walk or while sitting in your armchair. Or while laying down.<\/p>\n<p>Literally, no sweat.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all it is: three specific, highly-focused but very simple exercises that treat high blood pressure in a way that drugs could <em>never<\/em> manage.<\/p>\n<h3>Tested&#8230; and then proven<\/h3>\n<p>Originally, Christian tested dozens of different methods on more than a hundred people over an extended period.<\/p>\n<p>Real blood pressure patients volunteered to try them out. Some exercise protocols worked well. Others didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>But from the first trials over ten years ago this program has since been &#8211; literally &#8211; a life-saver for tens of thousands of people.<\/p>\n<p>The brain resets, stress falls away, blood pressure goes into free-fall.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m one of those thousands by the way. 16 straight months of regular blood pressure tests and I haven\u2019t been out of the safe zone even once.<\/p>\n<p>So, despite its apparent simplicity\u2026\u00a0 I know first-hand just how effectively this works.<\/p>\n<h3>This isn\u2019t some sort of miracle treatment<\/h3>\n<p>This isn\u2019t some exotic miracle cure by the way.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s good ol\u2019 science.<\/p>\n<p>Simple, specific resetting exercises directly activate your body\u2019s own control systems.<\/p>\n<p>Scientific testing shows that blood pressure falls measurably and quickly <em>every<\/em> time.<\/p>\n<p>Christian achieves this not just for a few hours but for a lifetime. And science approves of what he does.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, so does the FDA. They have approved a brain calming machine that helps lower blood pressure through various breathing protocols.<\/p>\n<p>Breathing techniques can certainly be beneficial. Although they can\u2019t bring about the kind of specific brain resetting that obliterates high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>But brain calming methods are such a big deal that the FDA has started approving breathing machines. Which tells us that, finally, the medical establishment is slowly coming round.<\/p>\n<h3>The results<\/h3>\n<p>So &#8211; three exercises daily.<\/p>\n<p>I did one on my way to work and the other two when I got home.<\/p>\n<p>All three so easy, so effortless that you can be 90 years old, way out of shape and still get maximum benefit from them. This is <em>not<\/em> a physical workout!<\/p>\n<p>So I did all three properly and regularly.<\/p>\n<p>And they worked. At first, they made small &#8211; but not permanent &#8211; differences to my blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>I used my home tester to check my pressure before and after.<\/p>\n<p>My blood pressure fell on day 1 &#8211; but not quite to the levels considered \u2018safe\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>By day 4 my blood pressure touched the official safe reading &#8211; for the first time in over two years. The effect lasted half the day and I was thrilled beyond belief..!<\/p>\n<p>On day 6 it got inside the safe range &#8211; and remained there for most of the day.<\/p>\n<h3>More progress<\/h3>\n<p>I noticed a cumulative effect taking place here.<\/p>\n<p>Each day\u2019s exercises built gradually on what I had already done.<\/p>\n<p>On day 11 my blood pressure was in or around the safe zone <em>all day long.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To say I was stunned is an understatement.<\/p>\n<p>I already had faith in Christian Goodman\u2019s guidance because of how he\u2019s transformed my brother\u2019s illness &#8211; when no standard treatment had made any difference.<\/p>\n<p>But actually experiencing it for myself was incredible.<\/p>\n<p>It made me a bit tearful, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>A whole host of modern medicines had barely moved the needle\u2026 and now here I was looking at a reading that stayed at or inside the safe range all day.<\/p>\n<h3>So why wasn\u2019t my doctor happy with my transformation?<\/h3>\n<p>A visit to my doctor the following week &#8211; with blood pressure now comfortably in the safe zone &#8211; was met with disbelief. And, I must say, a little annoyance.<\/p>\n<p>I think she was exasperated &#8211; and embarrassed, perhaps? &#8211; that I had chosen my own path. <em>And<\/em> that it had worked so astonishingly well.<\/p>\n<p>She asked me more than once if I\u2019d increased my meds without consulting her.<\/p>\n<p>I told her that I hadn\u2019t &#8211; and that I wanted to come <em>off<\/em> my meds. A request that she refused.<\/p>\n<h3>10 days later this happened<\/h3>\n<p>First, my blood pressure was now consistently well within the safe zone.<\/p>\n<p>I was measuring daily and for the previous 10 days it hadn\u2019t left the safe zone even once.<\/p>\n<p>Second, my next visit to my doctor got me off meds. She gave me a plan that lowered the dose over a couple of months.<\/p>\n<p>I felt so much better once they were out of my life.<\/p>\n<p>All this was nearly 16 months ago.<\/p>\n<p>I still do the exercises. Not always all of them. (Discipline isn\u2019t my strong point.)<\/p>\n<p>But once things are safely under control you can safely skip a day or two without any problems.<\/p>\n<p>I measure my blood pressure every other day. I have never been out of the safe range. Not even once.<\/p>\n<h3>High blood pressure is a choice<\/h3>\n<p>I learned how to give my brain a vital \u2018focused break\u2019 through following Christian\u2019s \u2018The Blood Pressure Program\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And it gave me something I hadn\u2019t had before: genuine, meaningful <em>choice<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I could choose to do the exercises every day &#8211; or most days &#8211; and be well and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Or I could take medicines for the rest of my life, put up with side-effects and hope to goodness the problem doesn\u2019t get worse over time.<\/p>\n<p>Choice one is the winner for me.<\/p>\n<p>For a little input, I get to live a full life, free of risk and worry.<\/p>\n<p>And all those lifestyle warnings that we\u2019re told will worsen our condition?<\/p>\n<p>Not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Because now it doesn\u2019t matter if my weight fluctuates a bit &#8211; \u2018The Blood Pressure Program\u2019 keeps my blood pressure at normal levels anyway.<\/p>\n<p>If I eat something salty &#8211; or tuck into foods that are on the \u2018naughty list\u2019 &#8211; so be it. It\u2019ll have no effect.<\/p>\n<p>Nor does it matter if I have a few too many alcoholic beverages at a celebration &#8211; I know I\u2019m going to be okay.<\/p>\n<p>And if I\u2019m a bit lazy and don\u2019t do much exercise? No sweat &#8211; my blood pressure isn\u2019t going to leave the safe zone.<\/p>\n<p>The peace of mind I\u2019m enjoying now is incredible. Whatever else life throws at me, I don\u2019t ever expect high blood pressure to ever rear its ugly head ever again.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019ll do for me!<\/p>\n<h3>So how about you?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re on meds and you don\u2019t want to be then \u2018The Blood Pressure Program\u2019 is going to quickly become your best friend.<\/p>\n<p>The difference it makes is jaw-dropping.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re <em>not<\/em> yet on meds &#8211; and you don\u2019t ever want to be &#8211; then this is your chance to avoid them altogether.
