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.
