Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

The findings foreshadow a mixed experience once the ban takes effect in December: Caucasians three years over the age cut-off can expect minimal disruption, but non-Caucasians and teenage girls could face challenges.”

Does anyone remember during that summer of love, when Mayor Lightfoot raised the river bridges, to keep the hoodlums out of the city? Asking for a friend…
Howdy Treepers,
I know there are a few medical people here who might be able to help me with my blood pressure quandry.
I’ve always had low bp. When I donate blood I’ll be lying there giving blood, other people will come in and leave while I’m still slowly pumping mine out.
I’m used to having low bp that runs around 90/70.
But yesterday I felt more tired than I normally do, and dizzier than I normally do, so I checked my bp.
It was 77/57.
That’s really low for me and it freaked my husband with high bp out.
I searched online for natural ways to raise bp. One way was to eat dark chocolate. I’m not a big candy eater and not a huge fan of chocolate, but went and bought some dark chocolate and after eating a couple pieces felt quite a bit better for a little while.
And this morning my bp was 83/63, so it’s on its way back up.
Do you know of other natural food/herbs I can take to raise my bp? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
You might need to up your sodium intake.
Been drinking Liquid I.V. for electrolytes. Maybe I need a pile-o-bacon. MMmmmmm, that’s my kind of candy.
Yes, great idea…..salt….sea salt.
magnesium will lower blood pressure.
Raven – you are on the right track. Look for foods high in electrolytes (like bananas high in potassium). You might add licorice. coffee, and all the things those with high BP have to avoid.
I, too, have familial low BP. Often, either my systolic is below 90, or diastolic is below 60. sometimes both. in addition my pulse is often in the 40’s. My heart tends to skip a beat or more. You can put your fingers on your pulse and feel if that if it is happening. Ahem – fewer ‘beats’ per … I’m beginning to think that LOW is my new ‘normal’.
You might consider buying an oximeter (not too expensive). That checks your oxygen levels as well as your pulse rate. movement sometimes help get the heart going – ha ha.
There is a condition known as diastolic dysfunction that might be involved. If that’s the case you might also read about the Automimic Nervous System. Here again, the ONLY help for these kinds of problems is mild exercise. You can build or maintain, but not push. The ‘i feel tired’ is real. Not to be ignored. Sit and rest.
I took Phys Therapy and had to tell them that i had to go easy if BP was below 100 and / or diastolic below 70 (which did happen) We also checked BP mid way during the session and used it as a measure of PT success.
My medical support team works with my low BP – so this is not just my opinion.
One other thought. Check out ‘Pulse Pressure’. you want a range of around 60. High and low differences are also alarms.
Diastolic pressure is the one to watch. In my case, low BP is a concern when combined with the high eye pressures of glaucoma. you can’t get oxygen and nutrients into the eye with vastly deferring pressures, endangering the optic nerve. But that is also true for all organs and systems. Sigh.
PS – if you hubby has glaucoma, he should be alert. High BP folks are sometimes over medicated and thus have the same risk as those of us with low BP.
As the saying goes – Rotsa Ruck!
Wow, lots to check into and think about. Thank you for all the great information, Ms Idaho.
I’d never heard of pulse pressure before, and after doing a quick check on what it is, see that my pulse pressure is in a somewhat dangerous place. Pulse pressure is the difference between the upper and lower bp numbers, and a normal number is around 40. Mine was 20 this morning, which by what I read means I have low pulse pressure and my heart isn’t pumping enough blood.
Maybe I need to go to town and get in a good argument with a few leftists, that’ll get my heart pumping for sure!
Sorry, Raven. Yes, you want pulse pressure around 40.
Check out MAP also. That’s the number they followed on the monitor on Doc when in hospital. That’s mean arterial pressure – i think same as PP, but different math.
Re arguing .. i think you will find that while you can get your BP to rise doing specific things, it will fall back down as soon as you calm down. You were on a better track with food and herb choices. (IMHO)
Thank you, Ms Idaho. I was only goshin’ about fighting with the radicals.
PS another thing I was told – keep up the fluid intake. Adds to blood volume. I’m bad on that …
Here’s an article that might have some information.
https://suzycohen.com/articles/treat-low-blood-pressure/
Thank you, Donna! Lots of great information there!
One thing, I started taking B12 two days ago, so it’s good to read that is something I most likely need. . . bigly.
And I stopped taking all my regular supplements the other day, one of which was magnesium, which you said helps lower bp. . . good timing.
Licorce tea! I’m a tea “hoarder,” so I’m sure I have Licorce tea somewhere and will make that next!
“Avoid…hot showers. A hot, steamy shower because this will cause the blood to leave your head and go to your skin. When the blood leaves your core, you feel like you want to pass out!” Now I know why I feel sickly when I take long, hot showers!
Thank you, again, for the great link!
Another article:
https://suzycohen.com/articles/pots-how-salt-affects-your-blood-pressure/
Thank you, Donna. I’ve eaten a lot of salt since I wrote last time, but didn’t make any licorice tea. . . like most things I think I’ll never eat/use I must have given the licorice teas I had away.
Will get some tomorrow, and keep taking salt and drinking lots of water with electrolytes.
I have had low bp most of my life, so I’m used to having cold hands and feet, getting dizzy when I stand, and I am a pasty pale white “girl” so that’s nothing new. Getting these crazy low numbers and feeling tired when I get up in the morning are not normal for me, so I’ll be working on getting the numbers higher — God willing.
Thank you, again!
To give you an idea of how magnesium lowers blood pressure:
I weaned my mother off of her blood pressure medicine, enalapril.
Asked her doctor to just give her the 5 mg pills of enalapril.
I gave her Magnesium to lower her blood pressure and it worked.
her blood pressure would cycle up every 3 weeks, so I gave her a 5 mg pill of enalapril.
It dropped it back down, and I would continue the magnesium.
( magnesium acts like a calcium channel blocker)
That is amazing.
We’ve been working on trying to lower my husband’s bp with more natural things, but he is very hesitant to just get off everything. I get it. Totally. His doctors like to put a lot of fear into doing anything on his own, and yet, he knows a few people who have done just that.
I’ll tell him about what you did with your mother and see what he thinks about giving that a try. We both love natural healing, and that sounds about as good as it can be.
Thank you again for all your help and insight, Donna!
He is right to be hesitant. You have to be careful.
I was telling you about giving mom magnesium,
as an example of how it can work to drop blood pressure.
There’s a lot to consider. How to transition. What he takes…
If he’s on blood thinners, diuretics, etc. kidneys causing bp?
What kind of magnesium (pick one that has a loose/covalent bond)
Think of your blood vessels…when they dilate, the blood pressure goes down
magnesium relaxes muscles, ..therefore it dilates the vessels
Calcium contracts muscles ….. it constricts the vessels.
(calcium…you need vitamin K2 (MK7) to direct Calcium into your bones & teeth)
you were talking about B 12 here is this from Suzy Cohen
“be sure you realize, the forms of B12 commonly sold as “Cyanocobalamin” are synthetic forms of natural B12. Your body must convert that to “methylcobalamin, and then to “hydroxy” or “adenosyl” forms in order to fully use the B12. Cyanocobalamin is unfortunately found in most oral supplements, most prescribed B12 shots, and all fortified foods. If you are going to take B12, I urge you to pay a little more to buy the biologically activated forms of vitamin B12 like methylcobalamin, or adenosycobalamin, or hydroxycobalamin which are harder to find.”
……and make sure you take folate, not folic acid.
Don’t know if you’ll see this, so maybe I’ll add it to Tuesday daily page. . .
“I urge you to pay a little more to buy the biologically activated forms of vitamin B12 like methylcobalamin, or adenosycobalamin, or hydroxycobalamin which are harder to find.”
I’ll be looking for that form of B12 today, for sure.
I will also buy some K2 and calcium, since I know I do not get enough calcium. Do you have a good choice for that/those supplements?
After drinking lots of electrolytes, eating some chocolate and sucking on a lot of salt yesterday, my bp this morning was 93/63. Yeah!
My husband bought me a bag of black licroice and two huge dark chocolate candy bars this morning — all for “medicinal” purposes — since I usually never eat either. I ate 3 pieces of licorice and felt like my bp was going up, without checking it!
My husband, with high bp wanted one piece, just to see what it tastes like, since he really likes most candy. About 5 minutes later he said he had a pain in his heart/chest. That immediately sent him to open a new bottle of my homemade organic apple pectin. He drank about 8 oz and his heart settled down and the pain went away. I’m guessing B17 is a wonder drug for blood sugar and blood pressure, since we now have a handful of friends who use organic apple pectin to help their bodies heal/settle down naturally.
Love all the help you and Ms Idaho are giving me, Donna. Thank you for sharing your wealth of information with others.
I found methylcobalamin, adenosycobalamin, and hydroxycobalamin on ebay and bought this
Extra Strength Vitamin B12 Liquid Vit B 12 Drops Energy Booster Methylcobalamin
It says the daily amount to take is 10,000mcg of B12, with a few other vitamins and minerals thrown in. I tried to include a link to the product, but it blew the sidewalls out here at the Treehouse, so I decided to just include exactly what the product’s description is.
If you wouldn’t mind, I’d love to know if this B12 looks good.
Thank you, again, Donna.
hi donna, if you see this…
did you wean your mom off and THEN start the magnesium?
Or did you start the mag during the wean?
Good info! I’ll look into this! thank you!
I started giving her a little magnesium with her BP medicine
when I saw her BP was high.
Many medicines can use up magnesium., even blood pressure medicine.
She was using Enalapril and HCTZ
I ask her doctor to stop the HCTZ , and just use the Enalapril.
The diuretic was mugging the magnesium.
Noticed it helped. Tried the 5 mg pills
until I felt safe to just use the magnesium
The interesting thing I noticed taking her BP
was how her BP cycled up every 3 weeks.
So, every 3 weeks I would give her (1-3) 5 mg pills
with the magnesium.
Am not a doctor, so work with a doctor.
Worked with my mom’s doctor.
Do some research on magnesium.
most people are low in magnesium.
Thank you!
Raven – re the discussion of magnesium
another thing you can do is a web search …
individual components of supplements you are taking or individual herbs – and food or drink, of course.
search for calcium or maybe turmeric v blood pressure. any cautions re: possibly raising BP are plusses for us. And any that brag about lowering BP are to be avoided.
I have another question for anyone here who knows anything about citrus trees, and Tangerine trees in particular.
I have an 8 foot tall Tangerine tree that I love and have asked for help for it from you all before.
Every spring I bring it outside, every fall I bring it indoors again, and it lives in colder/cooler weather all the time. This summer we hit 80 degrees one time, but most nights, like last night, it got down to 45 degrees. It will soon be time to bring it indoors again, even though our house is only heated to 60 degrees throughout most winters.
Being outdoors during summer is its good time.
But it seems to be losing more leaves than I like to see fall off, and many of its leaves are turning yellow or have brown spots on them. I’ll include a photo — hopefully it will show what I’m talking about.
Thank you for any help you can give me. There are NO citrus growers in northern Minnesota who can help me, at least none that I know of!
Here’s another photo —
Another showing the top of the tree. The thorns are crazy on this tree!
Darn, wish I could help.
Have you tried an arborist?
Thank you, Slowcobra.
Last year I found a website with a woman who knew a lot about citrus trees and she was able to help me then.
Last year I kept the tangerine tree next to a rose tree I’d had for a few years, and they both live indoors during the winter.
The woman helped me discover that the rose tree had “donated” aphids to the tangerine tree (YIKES) and the tree’s leaves were being attacked.
So the rose tree went out into the snow, and the woman taught me how to make natural bug spray out of citrus peels.
I’ve asked a few greenhouses around here about the problem with this tree, but they are at a loss when it comes to citrus trees.
