A few years ago I received a promotional mailing from Dr. Goldstein offering a basic cleaning and exam. I was in the market for a new dentist and decided to give his practice a try. My first visit was a very positive experience, and all visits since then have been the same.

Dr. Goldstein addressed and corrected one of my initial problems, grinding my teeth while I slept, in minutes using a technique called equilibration. He explained the grinding was the result of my teeth trying to correct my bite. Using equilibration, he painlessly adjusted the surfaces of specific teeth, and the grinding stopped immediately.

Dr. Goldstein and his staff at Randolph Dental are professional, friendly, and accommodating. Time is precious to me, and Dr. Goldstein maintains a schedule that provides a comfortable, individualized experience. Once I arrive at his office, I am seated for my appointment within 10 minutes. During my visits I receive constructive feedback regarding my dental hygiene. When extensive procedures are needed, Dr. Goldstein develops a plan of what is required that is beneficial to my dental health, my schedule, and my budget.

Natural Cures for High Blood Pressure

Recommended Natural Approaches

Diet and lifestyle changes can do a great deal toward lowering high blood pressure. Consuming a diet rich in plant foods is a great way to start. In addition the following supplements may help one avoid pharmaceutical medications.

Magnesium This mineral has a relaxant effect on the nervous system and blood vessel walls. It is commonly deficient in the U.S. diet and is commonly depleted by alcohol and caffeine consumption. It is also thought that high stress levels deplete the body’s magnesium. Lastly, some pharmaceutical medications cause this nutrient to be depleted.
Fish Oil Fish oil has several benefits for the cardiovascular system. In particular it reduces the inflammatory response common to many cardiovascular conditions. It also has a blood-thinning effect, which reduces pressure inside the artery walls. Over 31 trials have demonstrated that fish oil lowers blood pressure.
CoQ10        Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin like compound that also provides many benefits        for the cardiovascular system.
Several studies have shown that CoQ10 reduces blood pressure. In one        study, researchers followed 109 patients with essential hypertension who        were administered CoQ10 in addition to their existing drug regimen.        Participants had significantly improved systolic and diastolic blood        pressure, and 51% of patients were able to discontinue use of all        pharmaceutical medication.
In an additional study published in the European Journal of Clinical        Nutrition involved a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled        study of patients with type 2 diabetes. Subjects who received CoQ10        experienced a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood        pressure.
Melatonin This over-the-counter hormone is commonly used to help fight insomnia. Research has also shown it to be beneficial for nighttime hypertension. This is important, since elevated blood pressure at night injures the heart and blood vessels just as it does during the day.
Potassium Potassium is a key mineral for the reduction of blood pressure. It must be maintained in good balance with sodium. More than 33 trials have demonstrated that potassium lowers blood pressure.
