My tribe and I use an excellent, money saving, method of controlling high blood pressure that works gloriously for us, but since I'm not a doctor, I'm not going to mention it here. The cure for type 2 diabetes has been generally known for decades. I'm not very sympathetic to doctors that won't insist that their patients do what's necessary to control it without pharmaceuticals. I hold similar views to most food driven mental and physical ailments.

We use long term fasting to reduce pressure in the body, both blood pressure and eye pressure.
So I keep coming back to the same place... The first rule of healthy living is don't poison yourself. In my world view, grains, refined sugars, and common industrial cooking oils are poisons that should be avoided by anyone that wants to live a healthy life.

It's another one of those conditions that seems to be most common in people that have been poisoning themselves for a long time, such as those with diabetes, cancer, alcoholism, drug abuse, smoking, etc.
