You can get the answers to all of these questions without this book if you want to spend the time it takes to go to multiple sources, each of which usually cover only one topic of the many different aspects of high blood pressure and blood pressure control. I spent many hours reading a large amount of books, magazine articles, published scientific papers, and internet sources looking for consensus from experts in the fields of science and medicine. My focus was to identify the factual information that is important, and discarding popular or commercial myths. I also included the things in this book that I personally tried with the successful result of lowering my blood pressure to the point that I no longer need prescription medication to control my blood pressure. The aim of this book is to give you this information in one place and to tie it together in a more concise and understandable way.
