thanks...i live in Houston and it's VERY humid here. And, was diagnosed with high blood pressure a coupke years ago. Rome wasn't built in a day, perhaps I need more time.
What is 811? I have a green or fruit smoothhie for breakfast, greens for lunch, and nut milk for dinner with a lot of fruit in between. I don't add salt to any recipes, my kinesilogist (sp?) said to stay away from all salt for a while. Hadn't thought about a master cleanse in order to help lower bp, thanks for a great tip.
I had very high blood pressure when I started raw foods on April 16, 2009... over 100 days now.
My BP fell within 2 weeks from 160/108 to 110/70 without meds, with raw foods.
I started with a two day water fast, then 8 more days of blended green smoothies.
After those 10 days my diet also included fruits, veggies and the green smoothies, and as a result my blood pressure is well BELOW normal!
This article (below) on fasting includes a study of people with high blood pressure who were cured in 10 days of a water fast. I only water-fasted 2 days since I had to work and keep up my strength, but adding the 8 days of just smoothies and water really helped. Once you go raw and your ailments abandon you, staying raw is very easy to do.

Well I was just a grandad until April when my granddaughter made me a Great-GrandBabyDaddy! Wanna try that
hat on for a minute and see if you feel any older? Old enough to change your diet 100% for sure!
I also get some fat from avocado on my salad a few times a week, from almond milk and from flax crackers
that I make in my dehydrator every Saturday, and very occasionally a sprinkle of olive oil on salads.
