I will be off all medicine is less than 3 months.

Lise, NV

My blood pressure was over 175/110. The medicine helped some, but a few weeks after using RESPeRATE the doctor had to cut my medicine in half and now my pressure is still going down. I will be off all medicine is less than 3 months.

When I started using the machine I did not believe it would work, so glad I was wrong! My husband used the machine and it worked for him as well. He was able to stop his medicine.

I wish to recommend it highly because it works very well.

George E. Willoughby, UT (RESPeRATE user since Jan 2006) View Original Submission.



I think it (RESPeRATE) is very relaxing. It teaches me how to breathe slowly.

I wish to recommend it highly because it works very well. It is a very very good machine. My blood pressure went way up while it was being repaired. Everyone should have one!

I have also recommended the device to my patients, and they too are finding good results.

Dr. Thomas Putnam, MA

Dear Resperate, I just want to thank you for your fast, helpful, and professional customer service in servicing my resperate device. I have come to use resperate 5+ times a week (with great results) and appreciate your recent help. I'm a psychologist by trade and I've recommended your website to many of my colleagues. I have also recommended the device to my patients, and they too are finding good results.

My blood pressure had been normal for most of my life (120/60) until all of a sudden it started creeping up into the high range (130's/80's); this is when I found and started to use Resperate; this was about 2 years ago. After a few weeks of using it I began to see it go back down into the normal range. I've also found it to be great for relaxation. I use it in the mornings, sometimes even up to an hour. I also try to fit it in at mid-afternoon between patients for about 15-20 minutes each time.

Since I started using it I've been keeping a chart of my usage and I've done a few personal experiments comparing meditation to using the Resperate. I've found that meditation alone cannot provide the same results that I get when I use Resperate. To further prove this, I have a friend of mine who's a psychiatrist; he had high blood pressure and had been meditating for 30 years but could not get his blood pressure down. I introduced him to Resperate and sure enough, turned him into a believer. Once again, I just want to reiterate that you guys are terrific; your service department went above and beyond the call of duty for me and deserves a lot of credit in helping me attain success with Resperate.

This has worked twice for me so there is absolutely no doubt in mind this product works.

Kenny, UK

I have struggled with my blood pressure for years which really p*sses me off as I train in Tae Kwon Do 4 times a week, eat really well and am not over weight.

I do like a beer or two at the weekend though (or sometimes during the week) but overall not in the typical demographic.

Anyway when originally diagnosed I bought a resperate unit and used it regularly resulting in stabilizing my blood pressure (along with meds) at 150-140/80-70. I have classic white coat syndrome and at home monitoring and 24 hour monitoring have shown figures much lower than these so much so that my meds were reduced.

I fell away from regular use (20mins 4 times per week) and at a recent screening following a very stressful month or so my readings were sky high once again.

So I started using the resperate again - 20 mins 4 times per week and today went for a retest. Was totally wound up - hadn't slept since 4am - heart rate was racing in the doctor's office but hey - 145/80 - thanks entirely in my opinion to regular use of the resperate!

This has worked twice for me so there is absolutely no doubt in mind this product works. It won't on its own - you have to stick with it and address some of the obvious things in your life style that won't do your BP any favors. It is now in my night stand and will be the last thing I do most nights of the week (it also makes me sleep much better - man I love this thing)!

I am no longer on the heavy duty meds...

Magdalena Munro, CA

My name is Magdalena Munro and I have been using RESPeRATE for close to five years.

Before using the machine, I was diagnosed with hypertension was on a fairly strong dose of medication to manage my hypertension. I am fit and not overweight. My condition is hereditary as many people in my family suffer from hypertension.

When I began using the machine diligently (once per day), I found that my numbers dropped by 5-10%, however, I continued taking my medication. It seemed like a nice tool to have in conjunction with my medicine regimen as it lowered the numbers.

In July of 2009 I became pregnant and used the machine 3 x a day and was on a very weak form of hypertension medicine approved for pregnancy. By the end of my pregnancy, my physician and midwife began to question whether in fact I had hypertension as my numbers were so low.

I'm still using my machine although it's hard to be as diligent now that I have a two year old and my hypertension is fully managed. I am no longer on the heavy duty meds and am on a very light dose of a weaker pill.

I should be on a Resperate poster as I consider its effectiveness a miracle.

Larry, IL

Hello, I am a 61 years old man and I have had high blood pressure for over half of my life.

I started taking medications before I was 30 and have been on countless combinations since then. I have a physical exam every year and my Doctor would just shake his head at my readings and we would try something new. This would go on for a couple of office calls each year until I would get tired of paying the office call bills and I would just give up trying to lower my blood pressure for another year.

I had no side effects from the drugs but not much results either. My blood pressure was 140 over 65 at the lowest and approaching 200 over 75 at the highest. I am fit and very health conscience. I eat smart, control my weight and exercise 5 times a week but had given up on controlling my blood pressure until last September.

My readings were very high over Labor Day weekend and I ordered a resperate out of desperation for something new to try. I started out using it for 20 minutes a day seven days a week but did not see any results for the first couple of months. About four months into the resperate use I started getting some pretty low readings in the 120's over 60's. My pressure seemed to jump around quite a bit but eventually the low readings outnumbered the higher ones and now normal pressure is my norm.

I regularly get readings in the 105/60 to 125/60 range. I am still taking Bystolic 10 Mg and Benicar Hct 40 but hope to drop one or both some day if these low readings maintain. My next yearly Doctors appointment is in three months and I expect to fill my Doctor in on the wonderful results I have been getting with my resperate.

I do not plan to ever stop using it even if I have to take medication along with it. I should be on a Resperate poster as I consider its effectiveness a miracle. It does take a little time and some effort but it is a relaxing experience and well worth the effort.

I hope my resperate lasts as long as I do but if not I will buy another as fast as I could. Thank you Resperate!!

The Update:

Hello again,

Sorry it took so long to send a picture.

I am still using my Resperate daily and my blood pressure has continued to drop and it now averages 112/67.

The only high reading all year was at my doctors office (160/75) and he did not even have a white coat on but he did allow me to stop using the Bystolic. That is going to save me over double the cost of the resperate each year.

Thanks again, Larry

There are no words to describe my joy at having found out about Resperate.

Dolores, NJ

I have been using Resperate for over a year and not only is it keeping my blood pressure down but it relaxes me like nothing else ever could.

I usually use the machine for 15 minutes in the morning and at night every day. I do find myself every so often just about ready to doze off!

There have been times when I got myself really worked up over something during the day and didn't like the stress/anxiety that I was feeling. So I went on my Resperate, and like magic, I was calm again. I take this little machine every time we go on vacation; I wouldn't even consider going anyplace without it. I set myself up in our library in an overstuffed chair with my feet up and off I go.

Having the Resperate is like having an oasis in my life. There are no words to describe my joy at having found out about Resperate. I don't understand HOW it works only that it DOES work for me! I am eternally grateful to the team that developed this!

I love it!

James, AZ

I've been using RESPeRATE for a year or so and love it!

I use it everyday and even take it traveling with me. When I get bored on a bus, plane or train, I'll take it out, put on my headphones and relax! I am 63 and have been on hydrochlorothiazide for a few years.

After a few months with RESPeRATE, I was able to reduce my BP from 140/90 to 119/67. I am now medicine free!! This is one product that does what it claims. Like I said, I love it!

This device has had an amazing impact on my life.

Suzanne Williams,CA

This device has had an amazing impact on my life. Though I would never rule out Divine intervention, I had become resigned to using prescription medication to treat my high blood pressure for the rest of my life. I had done everything in my own power to lower my blood pressure. I maintained a healthy weight, exercised, practiced healthy eating, regularly visited the chiropractor and got massage therapy but still saw no change.

"Suzanne, you hold your breath," my massage therapist told me bluntly one day. "I've known you for a while, so I can tell you, 'You hold your breath '!" She began to coach me in my breathing, making me aware of the value of breathing consciously. Sometime after that I saw an advertisement for RESPeRATE in Parade Magazine. My reaction was, "Why not try it? If nothing else, it will provide some relaxation and stress relief." Well, it did much more than that.

I purchased my RESPeRATE device and, realizing that this was a commitment, I used it almost daily, with my doctor's knowledge and regular medication, for nearly two months. During this time I did notice my blood pressure readings going down. One day I went to my doctor with flu-like symptoms. I had also felt a bit light headed. She noted my lower blood pressure, listened to my chest and told me I had pneumonia. She wrote me a prescription to address this. She also told me to stop one of my blood pressure medications until I felt better or until my blood pressure went to 140/90 or above. Well, it stayed low enough for me to remain on only one medication! RESPeRATE ended up being my answer to prayer.

Since then, let's just say that my commitment has not been as constant. But I am completely convinced that, with Gods help, I can return to that resolve. I can become free of medication to manage my blood pressure. Does that sound like a New Year's resolution? Stay tuned!

Have used RESPeRATE religiously for many years.

Bill, FL

Have used RESPeRATE religiously for many years (since Aug 2006) in order to keep my blood pressure under control. (140/75 +/- 10% range.)

Successfully resisting the drug and medical community's poor and often fatal advice.

Did I mention I will be 90 in March 2011? This picture was taken when I was 87 years old. Little difference today.

I highly recommend RESPeRATE for anyone who's interested in doing whatever helps to keep you healthy!

Ann Stevens, NY

I am a 6-year-survivor of a heart attack, and a grandmother with an active lifestyle.

A friend told me about RESPeRATE about a year ago, and I have been using it daily ever since - with successful results! Not only is it a wonderful device that seems to calm me down whenever I feel stressed or anxious, but it has lowered both my blood pressure over the last year AND the dosage of my blood pressure medications.

I highly recommend RESPeRATE for anyone who's interested in doing whatever helps to keep you healthy!

I do have a very successful RESPeRATE story.

Brad L., MN

Good afternoon. This is Brad L., and I do have a very successful RESPeRATE story.

Less than a year ago, I was on 40 milligrams of Lisinopril daily. Even on that medication, the lowest I could get my blood pressure was in the area of 140 over 95. I had had high blood pressure for a few years, but was not taking it seriously. The problem with Lisinopril was that I was experiencing nearly all of the possible side effects.

Frustrated, I went to my doctor and told him I was finished with Lisinopril, and if he didn't have anything else with less side effects, I was going to quit taking the medication entirely and deal with the consequences as they came. I then told him that I had heard if you slowed your breathing down that it could lower your blood pressure. He said that he had heard of RESPeRATE, and said he'd allow me to get off of my meds if I agreed to try it.

I agreed and went home and purchased the unit. I started using it, and it did lower my blood pressure. I then started doing a few other lifestyle changes, and eventually my blood pressure started coming down. Over the course of 9 months, I have combined a change in diet with RESPeRATE, and now when I relax I will get BP readings of around 117/76. If you use this product with other lifestyle changes, they seem to enhance each other for very positive health effects.

I do love this product, and would be happy to share my experiences with you and anyone else wanting to listen. I am a 43 year old male who works as an independent consultant doing computer programming. This is an all natural way of lowering blood pressure while providing overall relaxation. If you wish to further this discussion, I'd be happy to provide more contact information.

Thanks,

The good results tell the whole story!

Joan Dimant, GA View Original Submission.


I have been using RESPeRATE for almost 2 years. My blood pressure readings had been on the high side and I had to chart it for 6 weeks, when I noticed an ad in the USA Today about your machine that lowers blood pressure. I felt it was worth a try to prevent my being put on medication.

Well, to make a long story short, my doctors were amazed that my blood pressure is now in a normal range. I am 76 years old and use the RESPeRATE almost every night. I find it relaxing and addicting and easy to use! The good results tell the whole story!

"Thank you Resperate, I tell everybody about the technology and that it really works."

Stephen , MA

I am an active father of 7 children. I take seriously my responsibility for my own health. I have been an EMT for many years and know well the risks of hypertension.

I purchased Resperate on my own. After a month my systolic pressure dropped 30 points and my diastolic dropped 20.

What I find most interesting is that my stress level has dropped. I honestly didn't feel stress prior to resperate but since, I feel like my priorities are more in order.

The kids and mom know that Dad's 15 minutes of Resperate is good for him, and good for our family. Thank you Resperate, I tell everybody about the technology and that it really works.

"This is a wonderful product that works!"

Caralinn, TX

I purchased my first Resperate in 2008 after taking BP meds for several years. ( Pre-medication I was testing 159/96 regularly at the doctor's office.) Salt-restricted diet and exercise had little effect. After using Resperate for just a few days, my BP began to steadily go down.

I use it only once a day now unless I find myself in a highly stressful situation; then maybe 2-3 times a day, but go right back to daily with the same success.

As of June, 2010, my BP stays at or below 120/80 even at the doctor's office, and often is 111/70 by early evening. My internist was delighted with my "plan" and encouraged me to keep it up. For me, it is also important to get regular aerobic exercise as well, but it only takes 25 minutes or so several times a week and I never have to worry about spiking BP.

Just purchased a brand-new Resperate Ultra Duo so that my husband can use it as well, and the new design is sleeker and easier to carry. An added feature is a detachable sensor belt, which can be replaced for $25.00 if and when the old one wears out from repeated use! This is a wonderful product that works!

"As a General Surgeon, I am writing this testimonial as both a physician and as a patient."

Joel Weinstein, MD,FACS, CA

As a General Surgeon, I am writing this testimonial as both a physician and as a patient. I am 57 years old, and was diagnosed with hypertension about five years ago. At that time my blood pressure(BP) was 160/90. My doctor started me on a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) to lower my blood pressure. On this medication, my BP settled down to 130/90.

Six months ago I started using Resperate. I was initially doing this for 15min/day four to five times per week. After one month, my blood pressure was 125/85. I reduced my medication to half a dose and continued doing my Resperate sessions. After another month, my blood pressure was down to 116/78. At this point, I stopped my BP medication and continued with my Resperate sessions which I was now doing six to seven times per week. After another 35 days my BP was 124/84 off any medication.

Naturally, I was very happy to be able to control my BP without medication, but I was also noticing that I was feeling less stress and sleeping better. I increased my sessions to 20min/day six to seven times per week which is my current routine(The main reason why I increased the frequency and duration of my sessions, was because I was noticing a marked improvement in stress reduction. Something that is very important in my line of work).

My BP has continued to improve to the point were my last reading was 107/70 with a pulse of 64 bpm. I have been recommending Resperate to friends and family. I do not treat patients with hypertension, however I have shared my experience with several of the practitioners that I work with to encourage them to consider using this for their patients.

I also believe that Resperate would benefit athletes and performers as a means to overcome performance anxiety. It would be very useful for Physicians in Training to help them cope with the stress of learning how to deal with life and death situations.

"After a strong recommendation and demonstration from a close friend, I purchased a RESPeRATE."

Janice, CA

After a strong recommendation and demonstration from a close friend, I purchased a RESPeRATE of my own over a year ago and have been using it religiously ever since. I thoroughly enjoy beginning each day with the calming, breath-infused experience that RESPeRATE provides.

I have had high blood pressure for years and this is the most immediate, effective, and benign remedy for the condition I have found. When I learned that my mother was diagnosed with high blood pressure earlier this year, I purchased a unit for her as well.

Her doctor, after only a few uses, was very impressed by the effect, noting that her blood pressure was significantly lower. The doctor asked that my mother bring in the RESPeRATE to her next appointment so that she could check into it further and recommend it to others.

I also teach voice classes and find it's a wonderful way to relax students and give them a deep breathing experience. So, my mother thanks you, I thank you, and many aspiring vocalists thank you for this wonderful invention!

"I just went to the doctor today and my blood pressure was 110/60. I never had that kind of a reading before."

Jean, IL

I started using RESPeRATE several months ago.

My blood pressure was staying at 165/90 even though my medication had gone from 10mg to 40 mg. I just went to the doctor today and my blood pressure was 110/60. I never had that kind of a reading before. We are cutting my medication in half again. I hope to be totally off of medication very soon.

"I eagerly recommend this product to anyone with aged parents who would like to get rid of the harsh side effects of BP meds, along with the expense, and replace it with a simple and very healthy alternative."

Pat Nease, WA



Although my mother was very healthy in general, she had a problem with high blood pressure as a side-effect of some ongoing medication. She was not willing to put up with the high expense and harsh side effects of blood pressure medication, so she asked us about Resperate.

I was initially skeptical, so I started keeping an Excel spreadsheet on her BP readings over time. Resperate made a dramatic and long-lasting difference. We tracked her daily BP readings along with Resperate usage over 4 years, and the spreadsheet chart looks like something an advertising person would come up with: a steady, smooth decline in both readings over that entire period, resulting in a twenty-one point difference over 4 years, with no change in BP medication except removal of it.

Obviously there were occasional spikes due to excitement or missing a Resperate session, but the chart is a remarkable testimonial for this product. Best of all, the learning curve was very short for this 80-year-old woman and she quickly came to enjoy the calming effect so much that she looked forward to her Resperate sessions, and chose to go to a morning and afternoon schedule instead of afternoon-only, just because it's pleasant.

I eagerly recommend this product to anyone with aged parents who would like to get rid of the harsh side effects of BP meds, along with the expense, and replace it with a simple and very healthy alternative.

This is an amazing and absolutely incredible invention.

Brother James, OH

I’m 67 years old and I’ve been using your device for about 5 years now.

I monitor my blood pressure carefully; I take a reading at least once a day. I can say that I’ve been able to stabilize my blood pressure with Resperate and I’m very happy with it. I have to admit, I do use it more than you recommend. I use it typically anywhere from 20 minutes to 30 minutes each day.

Many years ago before I started using it, I would only diet and exercise regularly (I swim every day) but my readings would never come down below 130/140 systolic and this was very frustrating.

Then I found Resperate on the internet when I saw one of your ads on Yahoo and shortly after that I started doing research on it. I Googled blood pressure, read articles that talked about Resperate, saw that the Mayo Clinic wrote about it. I also checked out the clinical data from your site, I printed and read about 40 pages of that. Basically, I did my homework on the device and came to the conclusion that it was worth a try.

Long story short, I started using it, combined it with my diet and exercise program; I now get regular constant readings in the 120’s systolic and my blood pressure is completely under control and most importantly it has remained control. My doctor’s also very pleased with it, I was to able to avoid going on blood pressure medicine and I’m very grateful for that.

As people age their blood pressure can easily elevate but years have passed, I’ve continued using Resperate and my blood pressure remains normal- I’m very happy about that. This is an amazing and absolutely incredible invention. To this day, I’m still in shock that someone was able to come up with Resperate.

All I can really say is, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

RESPeRATE is a life enhancer as well as a life preserver.

Gene, IL

I'm from a medical family and have always been the one in the family to delve into alternative treatments and resources.

Because of my prior positive experiences with yoga and natural childbirth, as well as biofeedback, I just knew RESPeRATE was worth my investment. I was right.

I have been using it for over a year, and I find it's a natural balm for my mind as well as my body. I've become so conditioned to my daily sessions that as soon as I see the machine, I anticipate its calming response. I've become a pro at using RESPeRATE while I watch television, and I find that I can relax through even the most upsetting news shows!

I've recommended RESPeRATE to some other family members, some of them physicians, and each one of them is pleased with the process as well as the results. I consider RESPeRATE an integral part of my health and fitness routine, and I truly enjoy the meditative time I spend using this wonderful invention!

RESPeRATE is a life enhancer as well as a life preserver.

"helps keep my blood pressure normal without medication."

"The plus is I look forward to using the device! "

Dick Carey, Fl.

I've been using Resperate for 1 1/2 years now. My blood pressure was 145/95 when I started and my doctor prescribed a diuretic blood pressure medicine. We agreed to postpone beginning the medication until after I had purchased and began using the Resperate device.

In two months my blood pressure dropped to 130/85 without medication. Now, a year and a half later my blood pressure is 115/65 and still no medication!

The plus is I look forward to using the device! It is now a habit which gives me a respite from stress. I use it daily.

Thank you!

"THANKS RESPeRATE, you saved my life."

Rose Blaso, Waldorf, MD

In 2006, my doctor diagnosed me with having high blood pressure. I automatically thought it was probably due to my having panic and anxiety disorder. Even taking medication for my panic, I still remained to have these surges in my blood pressure.

expand story

When my dr. told me he was going to put me on blood pressure medication, I was instantly upset, and felt an attack coming on, knowing that these meds had some horrible side effects; I wanted no part of them. Not to mention, I am one of those people who unfortunately, are allergic to many medications. I thought I would give it a try. Well, I was prescribed one medication after another. I spent so much time feeling sick, dizzy, constipated and the list goes on, that I was literally house bound!! One whole summer gone, just for trying out these different meds that were supposed to help me. Finally, I said to my dr. that I wanted to try Lasix,a diuretic. Finally I found something that did not have side effects for me. I lost weight, even though, I am a petite person. I walked every day. It was good for a while, but it was still not keeping it down enough.

One day I decided to get on the computer, and ask, "is there any natural way without use of medication, you can lower your blood pressure?" I kept scanning through different suggestions, until there it was, an ad all about a way to lower your blood pressure naturally, without any side effects, FDA approved, Mayo Clinic approved. Wow, a sigh of relief. Finally, I may have found the answer to my prayers. RESPeRATE.had lots of information, a support line to walk you through any help you might need or answer your questions. As, I read on, I began to feel calm, and grateful that I found the answer to my prayers.

I called, spoke to a representative, and ordered my RESPeRATE. I could not wait to get started. My machine arrived almost overnight. I love it. I wish I had known about it sooner. In a matter of weeks you will see a big difference. It is also great, because you take your RESPeRATE with you on trips, etc. All I can say is, THANKS RESPeRATE, you saved my life.

"The real proof that the RESPeRATE is working."

Jim, WA

Concerned about my blood pressure after a physical I bought a blood pressure monitor and had average home readings around 155/90.

expand story

I then began using the RESPeRATE 4 times a week for 15 minutes a session. After 2 months, my blood pressure had lowered to an average of 140/85. Concerned this was still too high, I did go on medication but continued to use RESPeRATE. My blood pressure was finally in control at 115/65 after one year of use.

Recently my RESPeRATE needed a repair. While waiting to send my RESPeRATE in for repair, but still on my medication, my blood pressure has risen to 125/75! This was the real proof that the RESPeRATE is working in conjunction with my medication to keep my blood pressure in control.

Using RESPeRATE allows me to take a lower dose of medication than I would otherwise need. Lower does means less negative side effects! I can't wait to get my RESPeRATE back!

Recovering Memory Loss - One Customer's Experience

Phyllis, WA

I would like to just add to my May 27th 09 comment.

At age 54 my husband (now 72 yrs, ) had surgery for a brain tumor and recovery was difficult to say the least.

expand story
He has been using the Resperate since May 09 and has slowly been regaining his memory for names and events in the past not to mention his BP staying in a safe range. We truly feel this has in some way provided more oxygen to his brain and stimulated his memory. Its not unusual for him to comment on the fact that he just remembered an event or name he'd not thought of for years.

Oct 18th, 2010

Note: RESPeRATE is indicated by the FDA as an as an adjunctive treatment for high blood pressure and as a relaxation treatment for the reduction of stress.

No clinical trials have been conducted on RESPeRATE and memory loss and we do not make any claims for recovering memory loss with RESPeRATE.

Phyllis's Original Testimonial - Submitted May 27th, 2009

About 3 weeks ago I purchased the Resperate for both myself and my husband to use, so I am reporting results for both of us. At that time I did not know of the other dual-use type. We have both seen almost immediate results. We are both in our early 70's, he with long-standing HBP and readings running in the 180/80 avg ( at times in the 220/200 range ) and with meds abt 160/70-80.

NOW, his readings are usually 130/60, occasionally 140/70. He had already stopped the prescribed meds due to side effects. In fact though we have nothing concrete to pin this on, he is feeling better all around and thinks it is due to the Resperate as everything else is the same as before starting it. No new meds or lifestyle changes.

Mine have been with meds, abt.140- 150/70 but are now running 120-130/60. This has been achieved by once a day use and as I stated almost immediate. Soon I will be seeing my Dr. to ask if I can stop the Diovan that I am taking. I hope to share my results with others that I come in contact with.

Prior to RESPeRATE, my White-Coat Hypertension readings, WITH medication, were in the range of 141/70. Since using the RESPeRATE for 30 minutes a day, my average first reading were 130/71 followed by second readings of 116/70 ... a REMARKABLE lowering!

There is no doubt that it is effective. I'm hopeful it works for the long term!

"It is a simple, very easy to use device that has absolutely no downside."

Milton P. Marrone DDS, FL



"My hypertension proved to be particularly difficult to control despite trying different combinations of many types of blood pressure medications. I could never get my numbers to be in a normal range.

My Physicians all agreed I was maxed out on the medication dosages and would have to live with the high readings.

I read about RESPeRATE and decided to try it. It is a simple, very easy to use device that has absolutely no downside. Each session is very soothing and calming.

In a few weeks I noticed by blood pressure readings begin to drop until they were within a normal range. Almost 3 years have passed and the readings continue to be good, both at home and at the Physicianâ??s office.

I continue to use RESPeRATE, although not as often, and the numbers continue to be good. I have recommended RESPeRATE it to many of my friends who have also had good success with it."

"I have been a consistent user of the resperate since I purchased my first one in 2003...I will be turning 60 next month, and so far I have not had to go on any high blood pressure medication."

Rosanne, DE



"I have been a consistent user of the resperate since I purchased my first one in 2003. There is a history of hypertension in my family, so I was interested in working on this problem before I needed to go on medication. I have thoroughly enjoyed using the resperate usually two to three times a week.

expand story

I often program my evening so that I find the time to use it before I go up to bed. It is extremely relaxing and I find that it helps me de-stress and actually fall asleep easier.

I will be turning 60 next month, and so far I have not had to go on any high blood pressure medication. The resperate breathing technique has helped calm me even before I have to have my blood pressure taken at the doctor's office.

It only takes fifteen minutes so there is really no excuse to not incorporate this awesome stress reliever into your weekly routine. I have even taken my unit on vacation with me, so that I don't miss the opportunity to use it.

I would highly recommend this product and am happy I found it and grateful that it is an item that I have continued to use and not purchased and forgotten about."

"The side effects are Wonderful. I sleep peacefully through the night from the first day I used Resperate."

Christine, NC

I started using my Resperate on March 29, 2010. I'm on my 6th week now and the side effects are Wonderful. I sleep peacefully through the night from the first day I used Resperate. And I remain calm and tranquil throughout the day. I feel like I am 23 years old again and stress free.

expand story

My morning BP use to average 180/100 and I would wake up hearing my heart beating in my ears. Thanks to Resperate I wake up feeling rested after a good nights sleep. The best part is that now my morning BP average is 165/90, and I do not hear my heart beating in my ears.

I don't take prescription medication. There are too many side effects for me and my allergies. The last pill I took raised my BP and lowered my pulse rate below 40. My doctor changed that pill to one that gave me severe hot flashes that turned my face near purple and had me running for an ice pack to take down the swelling. It also made my feet and legs swell up.

I am 60 years old. I use Flaxseed oil and Flax meal in my diet every day. I walk and exercise the best I can because I had knee surgery, but not a knee replacement. I take CoQ10, and a herbal capsule for cardiovascular support, and Vitamin E. I use my Resperate twice a day for 20-30 minutes, faithfully. I find it hard to breathe without effort at times while using the device, but still the Resperate seems to be working for me and I will never give it up.

When I was 23 I always felt very serene and peaceful and I had very low BP at 110/60. Now that I feel like I did in the past I'm hoping maybe one day my BP will be down that low again. Thank you Resperate for the best product I ever purchased.

"Many thanks for your wonderful product. I'm a skeptic by birth but a believer in RESPeRATE!"

Johanna, OR



I'm happy to report that my BP has dropped significantly in the last few days - this morning it was 128/72 upon arising.

expand story

I have changed my behaviors since learning that I have HBP - I now follow the DASH-II diet, take apple cider vinegar and baking soda daily and use my RESPeRATE at least once a day - and I think it's a combination of these changes that has affected my BP so positively.

I have a doctor's appointment this morning and can't wait to relate the great news.

It's probably too soon, but I'm going to start pushing to get off the medication he's got me on. Since this appears to be a life-long condition, I'd rather use holistic methods like RESPeRATE (and the other changes I've made) than rely on medication.

Many thanks for your wonderful product. I'm a skeptic by birth but a believer in RESPeRATE!

My husband and I bought the duo Resperate device, so we both could use it.

Within two days, I noticed a change, in his snoring. I was constantly telling him to turn over, so he would stop snoring. His snoring is almost totally gone! I told his doctor of the immediate change and he said he must have had some sleep apnea and the breathing change helped the problem. He had a sleep study several years ago but his results were negative.

"I was very pleasantly surprised! I plan on always having and using a Resperate."

Margie, PA

I went for my annual gynecological check up in December of 2008. I knew I had a bit if "white coat" syndrome, but when the medical assistant took my blood pressure, it was 180/97! I have never had a reading like that, but they did not repeat it, in fact they didn't even bring it up until I did. They said just to see my primary care doctor. I stopped at the pharmacy on my way home and checked it there, and it was still high for me, 150/90.

expand story

I checked it a few times over the next couple of weeks and it was still high. I have a lot of problems tolerating medications and was afraid of the side effects of blood pressure medication.

I had been reading about Resperate on the website and decided to order one. I used it faithfully every day. I bought a pressure cuff to use at home, and each day it seemed my readings were lower.

I had a physical scheduled with my primary care doctor about 8 months after starting to use my Resperate. At that exam, my blood pressure readings were 135/80 and 120/80!


I was very pleasantly surprised! I plan on always having and using a Resperate. It is very calming and relaxing and the slow breathing and relaxation that it provides helps with the muscle pain that I feel from my chronic fibromyalgia! What a wonderful bonus! I plan on taking the literature with me on my next doctor visit. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful product.

"I recognized it as a means to learning and doing "pranayama" correctly."

Darshan, Switzerland

Soon after I was recommended to take medication for hbp [high blood pressure],at age 70 or so, my daughter in the U.S. told me about RESPeRATE and I ordered one immediately.

expand story

It was some six years ago. Since then I use it once a day for 15 minutes. Whenever I measure my bp before and after use, the exercise brings it down considerably. While it has not obviated the need for medication, I believe it has helped in keeping the dosage to a lower level than it otherwise might have been.

Another thing that I might mention is that as soon as I saw the device and learnt its usage, I recognized it as a means to learning and doing "pranayama" correctly. Pranayama is a yogic breathing exercise which is difficult to practice accurately without long-term instruction and help. It is also known to reduce bp. It is also said that if prayanama is not done properly it might be harmful. In this sense the device is a great innovation.

"Invest in your health with Resperate."

Y.A. Texas

Thanks for creating such a great little machine. RESPeRATE is a perfect tool to lower BP and achieve deep healthful relaxation.

expand story

Like many others in my age range (55 and postmenopausal, now almost six years) the hormonal changes, weight gain and the process of menopause takes a bit out of the body including raising BP. Finding my way out of the fog, as I know many women can relate to, I also find my BP elevated due to stress. I began using Resperate faithfully 4 1/2 weeks ago, not seeing much in results but still incredibly relaxed. After a little research through the forums I realized I wasn't breathing correctly.

I've corrected that and my baseline was typically 148/95-154/99, spiking to 160/90-178/100 for short intervals, mostly in the morning (the lack of truly restful sleep since menopause has added up).

I have always disagreed that a person cannot detect when their pressure is elevated. Regardless of my probably less than scientific sense of self I have been using RESPeRATE every day since Dec.4th of 2009. Incorrect breathing and all and have seen great results of an average of 140/93 -137/87, the lower being the more consistent reading.

From this point I know it will only get better and know that no meds would have given me such a quick result but many side effects which would have stopped my life! The breathing exercises have provided the intense, healthful relaxation I had given up on a long time ago. I've tried massage, physical exercise, wine, vacation etc. ... the peace I enjoy and one that bleeds over to the days that follow is incredible. I truly believe this will add years to my life!

Since menopause I haven't felt like myself but just in these last 4 1/2 weeks I feel my old self is emerging again. I just can't say enough and to know my BP is going down is the icing on the cake. I sleep better, I don't find myself reacting so harshly to everyday *@*! and since I'm a control freak that's a very big plus!:)

I realized through the use of RESPeRATE that I hold all my stress in my shoulders and am now I'm aware to relax that part of my body. This is a great development and I am one of those people that refuses to embark on a roller coaster of meds that apparently don't work for most people and places your life in limbo, afraid to move for what may happen to your heart because the latest meds have made your BP climb or you're too dizzy or tired to do anything.

Pharmaceuticals and health care that markets by instilling fear as if our bodies are time bombs is just wrong. The body is a strong machine and has great recuperative powers and houses the ability to take stress until resperate does its magic. I do know there are extenuating circumstances and serious disease but for most it is a matter of finding what works and if the meds aren't doing it then aren't you taking the same amount of risk by using RESPeRATE?

Think about it, life has no guarantees and neither do the meds. We do have our intelligence and wonderful innovative scientists who have created RESPeRATE for those of us who are willing to go outside the box. Don't give up and give RESPeRATE an honest try. For me it's less about using it, maybe forever and more about a real vacation at my fingertips whenever I want it. It's all about perspective. Deep intense relaxation is a necessity for the human body to remain healthy or to heal. Stress is the enemy. Think about it and invest in your health with Resperate. Peace to all and thanks RESPeRATE! :)

"I cannot understand why insurance companies wouldn't pay for this device ...the cost of the lifetime medication is exorbitant compared to this device!"

Maria Olaughlin, MA

I am a physical therapist for over twenty years. I am often the first person to inform a patient that they may have hypertension. A few months ago, despite healthy eating and regular exercise, I was diagnosed with HTN [hypertension] which I suspected was induced by anxiety over the last few years. I was a constant 150/90 no matter what time of day I took my BP.

expand story

I found the Resperate on the internet and bought it immediately after my MD suggested that she wanted to place me on medication. I took to it immediately and logged over 50 minutes the first week. I am now in week four and my pressure is under 126/80 every time I take it, even when I miss days.

Most encouraging, is the fact that it has also had a significant effect on lowering my baseline anxiety. I am committed to doing it for the rest of my life. I cannot understand why insurance companies wouldn't pay for this device ...the cost of the lifetime medication is exorbitant compared to this device!

I purchased my resperate machine on 06/19/2001.

I have been using RESPeRATE for six weeks and I have seen a tremendous difference in my blood pressure. My numbers went from 135/80 to 110/69 consistently. I have returned to biking, cut back on my bp medication and continue to see lowered numbers. It took less than two weeks to really see my numbers change. I have increased my time to 20 minutes, sometimes twice daily. I would like to know from others there is any difference in extending time allotments and usage whether it being daily or four times a week.

But, my b.p. was very high, no medicines were helping because they were making me ill, I refused to take them. This year I started seeing more doctors than ever, and did some research on my own, and discovered that I was highly stressed. Yes folks, stress can do you in, and it affected my adrenals. I used the Resperate machine every morning and every night, I also took a long vacation to help destress, changed the type of supplements that I was taking to the ones that are more suited to my adrenals, and I do believe that my blood pressure is much more normal now due to these three change.

So look at the stress levels in your life, have your adrenals checked, use your Resperate machine daily, and take the right vitamins, and you will see a change not only in your blood pressure, but your weight will also drop.

I learned about RESPeRATE from the Mayo Clinic. I've had high blood pressure most of my life and have been on various meds for years. After discovering that I had an atrophic right kidney the doctor put me on Diovan in March of 2009. I ran a BP chart to see if the medication was working. After two weeks of monitoring my average reading was 146/76. I started using RESPeRATE on the first of April and after two weeks my average reading dropped to 127/66. Needless to say I'm very pleased with RESPeRATE and have told my friends and doctor about this fantastic device.

I used my Resperate religiously for about a year. I actually looked forward to my daily session. It gave me a structure for relaxation and deep breathing exercises. I was a big fan and felt it was definitely benefitting me. Then, the sensor belt started acting erratically and finally stopped working altogether. I emailed Resperate to see how I could get it repaired and was told I would have to pay a charge to have them look at it. As much as I liked my Resperate, I was unwilling to pay the service charge and resigned myself to doing without. After doing without for months I decided to write again. I explained the situation and, in the interest of keeping a happy customer, they replaced it free of charge. To me customer service is as important as the quality of a product and customer service doesn't get any better than this. I am thrilled to be using my Resperate again and have nothing but accolades for the product and the service.

I am 34 years old and after having my daughter 4 years ago I was diagnosed with hypertension. I did not think I was going to get it because I have always been healthy but unfortunately it runs in my family. Well I have tried so many different b/p meds like cozaar, lisinopril, labetolol, maxzide and they all had such horrible side effects. They would range from a cough that won't go away to always feeling tired and down to numbness in my hands and legs. I was at the point were I prefer to deal with the hypertension than the side effects.

Well my husband and I decided several weeks ago we want to have another child but I wanted to get my bp under control. I went to the doctor who took me off of my medicines to see how high my blood pressure would go and to use meds more appropriate for pregnancy. While sitting online looking for books about b/p I saw this advertisement for the resperate which I saw a month a go but was skeptical. I decided to give it a try.

My b/p ranged from 140's/90's after just one week of using reperate and maintaing my sodium intake to no more than 2000mg a day my b/p now is 110's/70's. I wanted to cry I tried so many things even the sodium restriction only and that didn't work. On my 4 days off I use the machine twice at 15 min each session and on the 3 days I work I only do one 15 session. I feel so alive and more alert and full of energy now that I do not have to take b/p meds. I also feel it helps to relax me especially when having to deal with the stress of everyday life it is a good get away for me. So I am excited to go to my follow up appointment in a week and let the doctor know about resperate. Thank You so much resperate I am truly greatful.

This device has really made a difference! I didn't have to take any medication thanks to RESPeRATE. I first heard of this device quite a while ago on television during a news segment; that was before I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I didn't need it back then but it did stick in my mind. Unfortunately sometime after that I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and I decided to give this a try in order to avoid having to go on meds. Before I purchased it I did some research on it, I looked at the information on the website, signed up for the 10 Tips and checked out some independent opinions. After liking what I heard about the breathing-related principles behind the machine I bought it and it worked. Before I started using it my blood pressure was up in the 150's, this is mainly because I had sciatica. I was then told to consider medicine to get my blood pressure down, I told them no thanks, no medicine for me...I went about getting it down on my own, used this machine and it did the trick, I really can't say enough good things about this device.

Judy, CO

I like RESPeRATE. I'm very pleased with this device. I've recommended it to three other people who ended up getting it as well. I originally read about it in a magazine and decided it was worth a try, especially after my daughter who is a doctor said to try it. My blood pressure used to be in the 140/80 range, I am now down to 110/75! RESPeRATE also allowed me to lower my medicine. Before I started using RESPeRATE I used to have to take 10 milligrams of Altace, now I only have to take 5 milligrams. I can't believe I've been able to cut my dosage in half thanks to this machine. I'm very pleased, you people have a good product.

I think Resperate is great! I love it, I think it's wonderful. I'm a retired nurse and I mentioned it to my doctor when I first saw it, a lot of things were going on in my life at the time. I had very labile blood pressure which is very difficult to monitor and control, it was that "white coat" blood pressure, it would sometimes go as high as 140/90 at the doctor's office. My doctor put me on a low dose of Diovan and I told them that I would really like to eliminate the medicine, that's when I decided to try Resperate after looking and researching the machine for good period of time. Once I started using it, it really became a welcome lifestyle change; it normalized my blood pressure and I liked immediately how this little device encouraged me to use it consistently by keeping such detailed record of my personal use. I'm a senior and I've just experienced the 6 most stressful years of my life, and I'm in my sixties so that tells you something. Just regularly I have a lot of stress, I always have a lot of personal things going on, things with my grandchildren, sometimes even family illnesses and as an elderly person trying to deal with all these things, it could at times get overwhelming on my stress levels and of course my blood pressure. So now that I've been using Resperate I am so much calmer and relaxed, it's funny, family members and friends come up to me and ask me, "How can you do it, how do you handle all this?" I just laugh and respond, "Well, I've got this little machine", and I laugh and they look at me as if I'm crazy until I explain to them what it is. I really would have to say that this little machine has been my saving grace!

I used to get really high spike readings, sometimes up to 156/100, but now after using the device for 6 months the peaks and lows have stabilized considerably and at home I'm constantly in the 100/60 range! It also comes into good use if I happen to wake up in the middle of the night like if I'm a little restless from too much stress or can't sleep, I'll just take it and go and do a 15 minute session. After I'm done, I'll be so calm and relaxed that I'll fall right to sleep. That little man's voice relaxes me so much that just the sound of his voice paired with the melody puts me in an indescribable relaxed mood. This is an additional benefit I wasn't expecting from this device.

As a medical professional and as an individual who has battled high blood pressure for many years I can say that I evaluated this device for a long time before purchasing it, and now I absolutely recommend it to anyone; it's more than a blood pressure reducing device; it is so simple and so effective, it is truly a lifestyle enhancer. Resperate has been incredibly successful for me in so many ways; I really think this is the best thing I've ever purchased.

I have been using Resperate for the last 3 months and want to share the results of it with you. For many years I battled high blood pressure. I was taking the maximum dose allowed by my cardiologist of Toprol and Mavik. At my last visit to my physician, he added a third prescription to see if my blood pressure would come down. Needless to say, I was stressed out by the thought of adding a new drug to my body.
expand story

Well, I tried the extra medicine. It did not do anything. Then I went to the Internet to research the topic and there is where I found you. I decided to order the Resperate machine and have been using it steadily for the last three months. It has worked for me beyond my best expectations once I faithfully followed your instructions. In addition to the Resperate breathing exercise, I also decided to cut all added sodium from my diet, this was rough! But I must report to you that my blood pressure has come down to the point that, with the help of my doctor, I have reduced my prescription medicine. I used to be on 3 medications before Resperate and by using the device I was able to gradually eliminate 2 of them and now I'm down to only half of 1!

Finally after all these years my blood pressure is under control! I think my success has been a combination of Resperate and the elimination of sodium from my diet. I will keep Resperating as long as I have to. FYI I will also let you know that I that jog 4 miles a day and keep a strict vegetarian diet.

Gentle people at Resperate...I have dropped my blood pressure in the past three weeks to 110/66, pulse 55. Last time I visited the Doctor's office, it was 140/90, pulse 72. I started using the machine a few days after that. I'm very impressed with the results and will discuss Resperate with my doctor. Perhaps he can wean me off the blood pressure medication at some point in the future. I'm quite impressed with your company and you people are very kind. I'm going to stay with this Resperate machine for a long time. I think this is an extremely useful machine.

I used to be at 170/110 when I first began to use the Resperate, at first I didn't think it would work for me, I was very pessimistic and I was ready to give up and claim my 30 day guarantee.

expand story

I contacted their customer support department to return it and they offered me some useful advice, they gave me pointers on what I could do to improve my results and encouraged me to continue using it for a couple more weeks; within the next month after that, I saw my blood pressure drop down to 134/71, my confidence and dedication to it just boosted, now I'm regularly in the 130's, that's down about 40 points from when I first started. I first heard of this in a magazine, it was in an article called, "How to lower your blood pressure the easy way." In the article they mentioned how this device had worked for this woman named Deborah K. (last name excluded for privacy) in Colorado. I wanted to reach out to her so I went down to my local library and looked her up, sure enough found her address and I wrote her a letter.

Boy, to my surprise a few days later I received a response from her, she wrote me a long letter telling me how she had been using it successfully for 2 years and how it had been recommended to her by her doctor. This gave me the push I needed to actually get it, but once I did, I was still skeptical and like I said I didn't think it would work for me. I was very close to giving up but I'm so glad the customer support department worked with me and were able to guide me to obtain great results. They really changed the negative outlook I had in the beginning and with their assistance I gained the confidence and knowledge to use the Resperate successfully.

Barbara from Austin, TX

I've been using Resperate for almost 2 years and I'm doing really well with it. I use it once in the morning and once at night. I used to be in the 140's, and even up to the 160 range sometimes. Now with Resperate I'm consistently under 120 and thankfully I've been able to stay away from medicine. I determined a long time ago that I would not go on medicine and would try to avoid it at all costs because all of the side effects involved with them. I'll be happy to be an advocate for Resperate because I can personally attest to the fact that it works, in fact I just recommended it to my girlfriend who just recently started using it. Interestingly, I belong to a health & wellness group that meets once a month and we recently had this physician come in and speak to us about high blood pressure, and wouldn't you know it; he started talking about Resperate and its benefits. I stood up to let him know that I was a satisfied user and to explain to everyone in the group how exactly it works. I have to admit, that made me feel pretty smart. Anyway, feel free to use me as a testimonial; I will be happy to "testimone" for Resperate.

I would like to thank you for getting the Mayo Clinic 5 Steps to controlling HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. I received the book on Friday July 11, 2008. I do believe along with the RESPeRATE it will do a world of good for me. In fact with the RESP@RATE I have had a remarkable reduction in my Blood Pressure at this time. I have been taking my Blood Pressure at home for quite awhile now. Before starting RESPeRATE my B.P. on 4/26/2008 at a community health fair was a whopping 166/96. It had never been that high before. I didn't have a chance to sit for awhile before having it taken so that could have been part of the results. Also going to my Doctor the reading was also high, but only in the 140 range.
expand story

After using the RESPeRATE it is down in the normal range between 120 to as low as in the 90's for the Systolic and in the 60's to 70's for the Diastolic readings. I am very pleased with my purchase of the RESPeRATE. I would recommend it to others to use.

RESPeRATE Helps Me Control My Hypertension. I was diagnosed with hypertension a little more than one year ago at the age of 46. I am a smoker and I work long hours in a high-stress environment. Stopping smoking was out of the question! I just couldn't do it! I am not overweight but I don't enjoy exercise. I began using RESPeRATE when I heard about it through friends. I thought this was easy enough to use, and definitely worth a try. The device is very simple to use and its small size makes it possible to take along with me on my frequent business trips.
expand story

I have been using RESPeRATE daily for over a year, and measuring my blood pressure regularly. Within a month of starting to use the device, my blood pressure decreased by 20 mmHg systolic and 15 mmHg diastolic. I couldn't have been more pleased. At one point during the year, other personal problems distracted me from my goal and I stopped using the RESPeRATE device for ten days. During that period my blood pressure increased by 20 mmHg systolic and 10 mmHg diastolic. But when I returned to regular use, I was able to achieve the same decline as before. All in all, I am very thankful for the RESPeRATE treatment, which has made it possible for me to maintain my blood pressure around 140/90 mmHg without any special change in lifestyle.

Thanks to Resperate my bp is now normal, and that's the good news...the better news is that I suffer from anxiety attacks and it has helped me so much to calm my nerves and reduce the amount of times I get them. I started using it for 15 min a day and as I got more used to using it, I jumped up to 30 minutes a day at least 6 times a week. I got the device back in January of last year (07) and before I started using it my bp readings were around 160's/90's and now my readings are so much lower, actually I just took a reading which I have right in front of me and it's 117/70! I've recommended it to a lot of people I know that have the same problem I used to have. I really love this machine, it has improved my quality of life in so many different ways, it has reduced my general bp. I also had slight white coat syndrome which is virtually gone, and now it is helping with what's been my biggest problem - Resperate reduces my anxiety and the frequency of attacks. There was a time when I used to be afraid to take my blood pressure because I knew it would be sky high, now thanks to this device, those days are gone.

I purchased the Resperate a few months ago and am very impressed with it and like using it. It even works when I'm not using it, meaning I remember to take deep breaths and slow down during a busy day. I really like it, I enjoy using it, and I feel a lot more relaxed after using it.

expand story

I had what they call "white coat syndrome", so basically when I used to go into a doctor's office my blood pressure would spike up there and remain generally high. It also tended to fluctuate up and down throughout the day. I finally just wanted to nip this in the bud, but in a natural way. I had practitioners in the past give me prescriptions for it but, when I would take those drugs, my blood pressure would drop TOO low since it tended to fluctuate throughout the day. Anyway, I decided to say no to the drugs and proactively bought this device which has finally normalized and stabilized my blood pressure without needing to use prescriptions. I've recommended your product to a couple of people I know that have the same problem.

I should first tell you that I purchased my RESPeRATE machine very reluctantly hoping that I wasn't being foolish with my money. After using it for about 3 weeks I've seen my blood pressure change from anywhere between 135/90 to 140/110 to what is the current daily reading of approximately 117/70!!! I'm amazed and can't wait to inform my doctor of what's going on. Thank you for this wonderful machine.

I'm contacting your company to let you know what great results I've gotten so far with your device. I've been using RESPeRATE for about 3 weeks and prior to using it I was getting around the 140's in the systolic range. I am now down regularly in the 120 /65 range. I've also discovered that cutting out coffee in the mornings also allows me to relax more when using it. I'm using it every day, 15 minutes every morning. When I first got it I was hesitant about using it, but I stuck with it, got over the hump and 3 weeks into it I'm glad I did. I just wanted to let you know all about my RESPeRATE success and how quickly it's worked for me.

For 25 years I was besieged with uncontrollable high blood pressure. Your Resperate solved my problem and SAVED MY LIFE. Before I found Resperate I spoke to doctors about my situation and it seems like alot of them just want to pound your body with pills without realizing that there are other ways to lower blood pressure, and in the meantime people die because they don't know about your Resperate and that's a shame.

expand story

I would like to let people know that you guys have a marvelous product. I came across one of your ads in USA Today and I said to myself, "Why not, let me take a shot at this". I had been trying for years to control my blood pressure and finally decided to take a shot with your device. My blood pressure used to be in the range of 184/69 constantly, after using Resperate for 6 weeks I got down to 111/59. My doctor was flabbergasted at the change, this thing did the job beautifully. I use it at least 4 times a week, in 15 minute sessions. I have to say, I used to be petrified whenever I would go to have my blood pressure taken. I would think to myself, "Oh my God, what's it gonna be this time"...and now I have no concerns. I'm comfortable and I look forward to it now that I'm going to get a good reading every time. There is no more fear.

God Bless Your Firm.

I am 71 years old and have had high blood pressure ever since I got out of the service. Taking 3 types of meds it was always approximately 170/100. After using RESPeRATE for 6 weeks, my numbers have dropped to 134/83 and are continuing to drop as time goes by. Most people I have talked to are unaware of this great way of lowering blood pressure. I tell everyone I know, but I wish the government would get behind this to let people know officially how to control this medical problem.

My blood pressure was 192 over 92. I became so alarmed and frightened each time I took it that I wanted to stop checking it all together. I'm healthy and thin. I also work out and swim but my doctor still insisted I take BP meds as a precaution. There was nothing else he could suggest. I then saw an ad on your website, checked the Physicians' Desk Reference, and saw that it was the only non med way to cure high BP. I ordered RESPeRATE and within about 2 to 3 weeks my blood pressure had gone down to 140-150 over 75-85. It has now been over 2 years and my last BP reading was 117 over 69, quite a markdown...thanks RESPeRATE.

I want to thank you at InterCure for the RESPeRATE. My blood pressure has been high for a few years and using the RESPeRATE breathing exercises has made a remarkable change in lowering my blood pressure.

It was by chance I bought an out of town newspaper and found an ad about a young woman who used RESPeRATE to lower her blood pressure. I called the 1-800 number to order and Fed Ex delivered it in a few days. I used it almost an hour at a time, every day and within 6 weeks my blood pressure went from 157/97 to 138/86. I kept using RESPeRATE and my blood pressure lowered to 126/83 then to 122/82 and then to 120/82.

Now my blood pressure is normal and I owe it all to you. Using RESPeRATE and the breathing exercises caused me to relax more and to calm my nerves. I am 60 years old and have retired from working at the Georgia-Pacific Paper Mill for 38 years. I'm healthy now and my blood pressure is now normal. I'm glad the RESPeRATE reached us down south. It has been so good in lowering my blood pressure that I bought another one to keep. Thank you very much.

This device is amazing. I have been using RESPeRATE for 3 weeks now and see an 11% drop in both systolic and diastolic readings as well as a narrowing of the standard deviations of the readings when comparing the first ten readings to the last ten readings. In summary, my blood pressure is lower and more consistent.

I never really had a major high blood pressure issue, just a slight occasional elevation into the 130/85 range. Now, it's consistently 103/70. I use the device for 15 minutes both in the AM and PM. I would much rather use this approach than take a pill. Thanks.

After two years of using RESPeRATE daily, my blood pressure is now 114/60 (at least 30 points less than in the beginning) and I'm down to 1 blood pressure pill instead of 4. I attribute this to RESPeRATE. I'm 76 now, and for 30 years my blood pressure never reached less than 145/90 until I found this device. I use it once a day, every day for a little more than 2 years and since I started using it my blood pressure has been creeping down. As it kept going down I eliminated more pills one by one! My blood pressure right now runs in the range of 110/60 but before I started using this machine it used to be in the 160/90 range. I've even told my Dr. about it so he can recommend it to other patients. It's funny, when I tell people about it sometimes they tell me, "well this machine is kind of expensive" and I laugh. I respond by telling them "well, I used to pay $400 a month in blood pressure medicine and I'm no longer doing that, I'm actually saving a lot more now."

expand story

At the time I started this, I knew that I had to take charge of controlling my blood pressure. Medicine was not doing it for me and had me feeling wobbly, dizzy and nauseated. I couldn't do anything and I didn't want to live like that. I decided to give RESPeRATE a try and I'm glad I made that decision.

There is one side effect that comes with using RESPeRATE, it's a psychological one - the great feeling I get from finally being in control of my blood pressure!

Resperate helps me to relax, slow my breathing and get my blood pressure down. It's simple, convenient and it works: Just strap the breathing sensor around your chest, put on the headphones and the device will play musical tones telling you when to breathe in and out. Using it, I lowered my blood pressure by 15/10 points. That fact alone makes Resperate an amazing device.

I'm really happy with RESPeRATE. I use it every single morning, 7 days a week, and do 15 minute sessions from beginning to end just like the machine tells me. I'm happy that I'm seeing good results. I used to be really high around 180 and sometimes I'd hit 190. I've seen a drop of about 15 pts and now I'm down in the 160's all thanks to this machine. It has helped me a lot and I recommend this to anyone with high blood pressure. I was on medicine and it wasn't doing anything for me, then I heard about this. I was skeptical at first but I figured it was worth a try since the pills weren't working. Now that I've seen RESPeRATE actually works, it's made me a believer and I'm telling people about it.

I believe the RESPeRATE was instrumental in lowering my blood pressure to an acceptable range within a short period of time (several months). I had let my blood pressure rise into an unacceptable range of 145/95. Even though I became more diligent in exercising and taking a daily medication for hypertension, I did not physically feel better. Once I began a daily routine of using breathing exercises with Resperate I could feel the difference. I felt better physically. My last Doctor's exam confirmed what I felt: My blood pressure was a very acceptable 124/72.

Richard, MN

I first developed high blood pressure more than 10 years ago, at the age of 48. Both my parents developed it at the same age that I did so I was predisposed to have the condition. As with most people you start out with one medication and then another and another until you are at 3-4 to try and keep the levels in the safe range. I run 2 miles every day on a treadmill for a cardiovascular workout and I eat heart healthy. But, nothing seemed to help lower my 150/95 blood pressure.

expand story

In November of 2006 my doctor wanted to put me on yet another medication to try and lower my blood pressure to 120/80. I told him that I wanted to wait before adding another pill. When I returned home I went to the Internet and searched for, "How do you lower blood pressure", and RESPeRATE came up. I read through the entire web-site and all of the testimonials and said that this is too good to be true. It probably won't work for me. But, I had tried everything else so why not try this. I ordered my unit and it arrived a few days later.

I read the simple directions and started the next morning after my workout. The directions said that it would take 8 weeks for me to see the full benefits of the therapy. It has now been 24 weeks since I started using RESPeRATE and the results have been amazing. I went for my annual physical yesterday and my blood pressure was 118/82. The nurse was so surprised that she said, "I must not have taken that correctly", so she waited and took it again. Same results 122/80. She said that's amazing. Your weight is the same as last time but 6 months ago it was 145/92. What's the secret? I said it's called RESPeRATE and I attribute the numbers to that and only that. She had never heard of it and neither had the doctor when he asked me what I was doing differently to control my blood pressure. I told him that my goal was to reduce some of the medications I was taking if I continue to show good numbers. He agreed with me.

Not only does RESPeRATE lower your blood pressure but it also relaxes you. It really makes you feel that you are doing something positive for yourself. I totally endorse RESPeRATE and would recommend that every one with high blood pressure give it a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I am a 44 year old male who has had problems with my blood pressure that date back to my early twenties. On average, my blood pressure would be 160/100 and would not go down even if I sat still for an hour. I had been on medications in the past but they robbed me of energy and I just could not function on them. Approximately one month ago I was admitted into the hospital with blood pressure of 180/115 and they lowered it before they would release me.

At that point I began to search for anything that could help. I am very active and watch what I eat. I also walk and run every night and I am not overweight. I am just one of the unlucky ones that has a family history of high blood pressure. I had tried other products with zero luck until I found RESPeRATE.

I would not have believed the results had I not read the measurements with my own two eyes. Although I was on medication at the time, my blood pressure was still averaging 150/90 on a good day. After a few weeks of using RESPeRATE, my blood pressure dropped to 120-130/80-86. This product works. That I know!

RESPeRATE has changed my life. When I retired from work my doctor discovered that I suffered from hypertension. My blood pressure was 210 over 110 which was just outrageous and my doctor immediately put me on medications. I was very scared because I knew high blood pressure could lead to stroke and so many other health problems.

expand story

After almost 20 years of consistently adhering to a medication regimen and a daily fitness program, my blood pressure was still high – at least 165/88 mmHg – so two years ago I entered a clinical trial for RESPeRATE at the Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago.

At first I didn't believe it would really do anything, but I was completely won over. RESPeRATE did wonders for my blood pressure. By the end of 30 day clinical trial, my blood pressure dropped down to an amazing 122/74 mmHg, something neither the medication nor the exercise had ever been able to do. After the trial ended I kept my RESPeRATE device and I have been using it every single day ever since.

I love RESPeRATE because it is the only thing that could finally get my blood pressure under complete control, and I also find it extremely relaxing. When I come home from the gym I have my shower and my lunch, then I sit down on the sofa and put my feet up and put my RESPeRATE on and just relax – it's just lovely. It's the best part of my day – when I don't have to think about anything else and I can just enjoy those 15 minutes of breathing exercises.

It is such a relief to finally have my blood pressure at a normal level and to not have to constantly worry about all kinds of medical problems. I believe very strongly in the benefits of RESPeRATE; it has had a profound affect on my health and I plan to continue using it for a very long time.

Sylvester, IL

I have a family history of blood pressure. Both my parents suffered from high blood pressure. Because I suffer from type 2 diabetes, I knew that even relatively mild hypertension greatly increases the risk of blindness, kidney failure, stroke and other serious conditions. When I discovered in my early 50s that my blood pressure was high, my doctor immediately prescribed medication to help control it, beginning what has become a lengthy quest to discover the most appropriate medication. Even after trying about five different medications, my blood pressure still averaged 157/92 mmHg.

I have never smoked and I made adjustments to my lifestyle to help improve my blood pressure, but I still found that I was unable to reduce my blood pressure to a safe range until I enrolled in a clinical trial for RESPeRATE, a non-drug medical device for the adjunctive treatment of high blood pressure at the Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago.

As I became familiar with the device I discovered that it decreased my blood pressure significantly. Over the course of the study, my blood pressure went from 157/92 mmHg to a much healthier 140/73 mmHg. I found the treatment enjoyable and a pleasant experience. I think the RESPeRATE is very helpful in controlling my blood pressure in a way that medication alone was unable to do. I find the breathing exercise with the RESPeRATE to be very pleasant and the overall benefits to be substantial.

I am very impressed with the customer service people I have talked with at RESPeRATE and cannot remember ever dealing with more helpful and friendly people.

Your representatives seem genuinely caring and concerned about the people who are using your product.

On the occasions I have spoken with them, they have been extremely courteous, patient, and I come away thinking this is a company who puts people first and profits second. That is a rarity in today's business climate.

Thanks again for all your help.

I received my RESPeRATE approximately three weeks ago and I am very pleased with the results.

expand story

Before using RESPeRATE my blood pressure was 170/90 and now my blood pressure reading is 128/65. How is that for results ?

When Dr. Marek spoke to us about RESPeRATE, I didn't believe it would do what it claimed it could do for my blood pressure.

Now I'm a believer.

RESPeRATE has done far more for me than I had anticipated. I have been able to lower my blood pressure from 190 to 150 with RESPeRATE.

expand story

My doctor put me on medications for high blood pressure in mid 2002. At the time my blood pressure was very high, averaging over 190/90. One day in the fall, while jogging I collapsed and ended up in the doctors office. I was told that the medications had lowered my blood pressure too much and that was the reason I collapsed. My doctor decided to take me off the medications after this incident and because I was experiencing other negative side effects. As a result my blood pressure started going back up and I was getting readings over 200 (systolic).

It was then that I started looking for other ways to control my blood pressure. One day my wife read about RESPeRATE in Parade magazine and showed it to me. I checked out the RESPeRATE web site and then called for more information which I took to my doctor. My doctor thought it was a good idea for me to try RESPeRATE.

I started using RESPeRATE in January 2003. By the end of March my morning systolic readings were below 170, from 190 when I started. I went back to my doctor after eight weeks using RESPeRATE and he told me to keep trying it. After about a year of using RESPeRATE I saw my blood pressure readings drop to about a 150 average.

RESPeRATE is wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone with high blood pressure. RESPeRATE has done far more for me that I had anticipated.

I am very pleased with the RESPeRATE device since it helps me keep my blood pressure within reasonable limits. My doctor recommended RESPeRATE when I developed a very bad reaction to an increased dose of my blood pressure medication.

expand story

I have had this little machine for over a year and, at this point, I use it every day together with the original low dose of medication.

I had to interrupted use for about a week for repairs and also for some medical intervention (unrelated) as a result, my blood pressure started inching up.

Aside from the blood pressure advantage, using the device just make me feel better. Tension is lowered and mood is improved.

I'm glad to have it.

My blood pressure at one point reached 220/120. According to my doctor, this was caused by stress in my life. The medication I was on was causing me to lose my hair. Then I discovered RESPeRATE.

When I started using RESPeRATE, my BP was 188/88. After just 4 weeks of use, it went down to 154/82. When I went to my doctor, her jaw nearly dropped. I now have a much better quality of life.

Thank You RESPeRATE!

I have to tell you how astounded I am with my RESPeRATE results. I have an enlarged heart and cannot tolerate Blood pressure-lowering medications.

expand story

I purchased my unit after reading about it, hoping it would lower my readings. I was running anywhere from 135/86- very high with my condition. After two months of use every other evening for 15 minutes, my pressure readings are averaging 118/68.

Thank you so much for this natural method of blood pressure reduction.

P.S. I had tried Yoga deep breathing on my own, but could not achieve results. In addition to lowering my pressure, I am deeply relaxed after my sessions and look forward to them.

I have been using the RESPeRATE since August 2003 and have seen significant improvement in my blood pressure. I have been on a regimen of blood pressure medication for many years but have not had dramatic results until I began using the RESPeRATE in combination with medications.

It is satisfying to be personally more pro-active in managing my high blood pressure, especially when using the RESPeRATE is so easy and pleasant to use. My doctor was enthusiastic over my BP reading during a recent visit and has recommended the RESPeRATE to several of his patients.

Vinton McCabe, CT

I have been battling hypertension for the better part of three years. In that time, I have gone from doctor to doctor, medical philosophy to medical philosophy, but nothing, neither allopathic drugs nor homeopathic remedies ever managed to lower my blood pressure below150/90.

expand story

Further, my hypertension was labeled "labile", or erratic. In my case, that meant that by blood pressure would surge as high as 220/110, apparently without cause. It also meant that the blood pressure as measured in each arm could be as far as twenty or more points apart.

In early December, 2003, I visited a renowned cardiologist, who suggested to me that my blood pressure might be caused by a tumor on my adrenal gland. Although this was statistically highly unlikely, he strongly suggested that I have a test that, for around $2,000, could determine whether or not the tumor existed.

I literally thought at this point that I was at the end. I knew that, because of my high blood pressure, I was in a constant state of risk for stroke, but, because of my high blood pressure (which had, ironically, been discovered during a health insurance exam), no company would sell me health insurance. And three years of doctors visits, tests, etc, had emptied my bank account. When I said that I could not afford another test, the cardiologist shrugged and said that I could, if I wanted, put it off for awhile.

After that consultation, I went home and got on the internet, determined to research high blood pressure as completely as possible, in order to find some solution that the doctors had missed. What I found at the Google site was a link to RESPeRATE. Since the link promised relief from high blood pressure without medication, without side effects, I visited the site. And what I found made sense. Given my background in alternative medicine, I was immediately impressed that someone had apparently found a means to taming high blood pressure by re- training patients in something as simple as breathing. Because I knew that a yoga class can certainly lower blood pressure for a time, it made perfect sense to me that a "yoga class in a box" could have the same effect.

So I ordered the RESPeRATE.

And its impact upon my life and health have been amazing. I found that the breathing exercises lowered my blood pressure almost from the start. And that the deepening and slowing of my breathing also had a centering and calming effect as well. Very soon I found that I looked forward to my time with the RESPeRATE.

But most important, I found almost from the first day that the RESPeRATE breathing technique not only lowered my blood pressure, but it also made it less erratic, more steady. And, over time, the acute effect of the RESPeRATE lengthened and deepened. Where at first my blood pressure would lower for two or three hours after I exercised, over the weeks, the period of lowered blood pressure would last longer and longer, until this "RESPeRATE effect" became the norm.

My blood pressure decreased from a high "normal" of 170/l00 to 120/80. In fact, my blood pressure has, in the past three months, become so low that my doctor has, on two occasions, lowered the amount of my medication. This morning, my blood pressure measured 117/76. And this level has now become my norm. And, just as important, the blood pressure as measured in each arm now seldom varies more than two or three points.

In addition to this, the breathing pattern set my the RESPeRATE has also regulated my pulse, which used to be in a state of constant elevation in the high 80s. Now it regularly measures at a calm 76-80. In his last evaluation, my doctor commented that I now have the blood pressure and pulse of an athlete. For a middle-aged man who is struggling to lose weight as he works to quiet his hypertension, this is high praise indeed.

I don't really know how I can sufficiently praise your product. The fact that it not only fulfills on its promise to safely and effectively lower high blood pressure is most certainly enough. But the fact that it actually exceeds all product claims, by being a device that, in my experience, enhances the health in every way, is just extraordinary.

Day after day, I find myself improved in every way at the end of my RESPeRATE session. Often I find that I experience my most creative problem solving by simply relaxing and breathing deeply. Always I find myself to be relaxed, centered and ready to face the day. I now cannot imagine facing a day without the RESPeRATE any more than I could imagine one without food or sleep.

Thanks to your product, I no longer have to fear the blood pressure cuff. The "white coat syndrome" is gone. I now can enjoy the security of knowing that, day after day, my blood pressure is safe and steady. I now have the goal that, with continued weight loss, exercise and the RESPeRATE, I will one day be able to fully control my blood pressure without medication of any sort.

I only wish that every one of the millions of Americans who face the challenge and fear of hypertension could get their hands on the RESPeRATE. The fact that it can be so effective to patients with the very worst sort of high blood pressure, erratic, surging hypertension is so very important. And the fact that it can, as far as I can understand, assist all patients with high blood pressure, to lower that blood pressure, to calm the heartbeat and to relax the patient is most important of all. If there's anything I can do to help you get the word out, just let me know.

Harry, NY

I'm a 32-year-old male who was diagnosed with hypertension three years ago, with a blood pressure reading of 150/95 plus. I exercised regularly, walking and weight lifting three times a week. I have a classic Type A personality. My job is high-pressure and my work life tends to be stressful. I also travel extensively. To top it all off, I have a family history of heart disease and high blood pressure.

expand story

I started using RESPeRATE four months ago. My blood pressure is now down to 120/75. I use it four times a week for 15 minutes at a time. I enjoy using the product; it relaxes me and the time goes by quickly. I use it at work, on the train during my commute and take it with me when I travel. It's great to use while flying. I'm a busy person but it's easy enough to find the time to use this device. RESPeRATE is a great complement to diet and exercise in controlling high blood pressure. I highly recommend it!

Rose, Tel-Aviv, Israel

I'm feeling back to my old self. I am 70-years-old. I have a family history of hypertension, but I was not aware that this was a problem for me until 1995.

expand story

At that time, I was diagnosed with hypertension after experiencing a series of fainting spells. I was in and out of the Emergency Room and I was really scared! I had to change my lifestyle. I stopped exercising and couldn't be as active as I wanted to be. I became very worried about my health. My blood pressure at that time was in the range of 160-200/80-90 mmHg. The hospital physician prescribed antihypertensive medication for me. I tried more "natural therapies," including a change in my diet, but these efforts did not have a dramatic effect on my blood pressure and my hypertension was still uncontrolled.

In 1998, however, I visited my family doctor who recommended a new device he had just heard of -- the RESPeRATE.

I was happy to hear about a new approach for treating high blood pressure that was not a drug and had no side effects, yet was clinically proven to work. My husband, who happens to be a scientist, was intrigued by the product and encouraged me to try it. I am so glad I did! It changed my life. It did not happen overnight, but within just a few weeks my blood pressure started going down. My blood pressure is now stable at around 135-140/70-80 mmHg. My blood pressure is under control and I am back to my old self.

I have been using RESPeRATE for almost two years now, and I highly recommend it to anyone with high blood pressure! I thank InterCure for saving me.

I am doing quite well with my RESPeRATE device. I use it regularly and have achieved very satisfactory results from its use.

expand story

I often use the device in the early morning, especially if I had experienced a severe headache the night before or during the night, which, for me, often indicates excessively high BP (blood pressure). Typically if I go to bed with a BP reading of 140/85 or more I can awake with a BP reading as high as, 170-174/100, whereas my nominal mid day blood pressure is about 137/80 with a pulse rate in the low to mid 80's.

My almost daily evening and often morning RESPeRATE session provides a major reduction in BP (blood pressure). I make it a habit to take my blood pressure with my small-computerized monitor before and after each RESPeRATE use. This provides an accurate measure of the instrument's effects.

When I experience a blood pressure reading of 170/95-100, I typically find that a 15 minute session reduces my BP to 150/90-85 with normal pulse of 75 to 80. To improve the results I often initiate a second 15-minute session which further reduces my BP to 140-137/87 with nominal pulse of 65-80.

Please note that RESPeRATE is an "adjunct" to one's normal BP control medications and does not cause my BP readings to remain at the achieved lower values. However, it does provide an immediate large decrease in my high to very high blood pressure events, with no side effects and provides an improved starting point for administration of my regular medications. For me, RESPeRATE is effective in its intended adjunct use. It can, at least in my case, immediately remove my BP from dangerous levels without the use of drastic medications and helps establish a more normal baseline starting point for use of my regular prescribed medications.

For me I feel the RESPeRATE device and process has made a positive, helpful impact on my life for I am significantly hypertensive with a not so normal heart.
