I went on a plant-based diet and my blood pressure dropped to healthy levels within 4 weeks.

[@veragittens1992]

What precisely was the plant based diet you used.

[@SD-co9xe]

@@veragittens1992 It was the Forks over knives diet. I did not eat any meat or cheese - basically a vegan diet with a focus on vegetables and fruits.

[@fallback8314]

any idea if this diet would clear someone's skin?

[@SD-co9xe]

@@fallback8314 I don't know if it would help with that. You could give it a try. There is a Forks Over Knives group on Facebook.

[@jasonriek4212]

Dr. Seheult is a excellent teacher. He uses a easy approach but still gives you all the terminology you need as well. Great balance.. Please keep on with the videos. I am a med student and wish I found this channel when I started!!!

[@Medcram]

Glad to hear the NPs are enjoying the lectures. Bamboo tablet and any drawing program. Front cam can be used to capture the video.

[@DrHoweThD]

I am an Independent Duty Corpsman Corpsman in the US Navy. As such, like a PA, I work under the supervision of a physician as an extension of that physician's military patient population and scope of care. This is one of the best presentations on understanding treatment options for hypertension that I have seen. I am very grateful for this seriies of videos and look forward to learning more and increasing my knowledge base for the patients that I am a provider for.

Im a pharmacy student & this helped me to get the concept. Thanks so much

[@inachu]

I totally killed off my hypertension just by increasing the dosage of magnesium. The side effect is I feel great! The weird side effect is I got my old personality back from my younger days and it feels good but weird to feel like that again. Now I am researching how much magnesium is too much.

[@atilnozarab53]

I wish you were my teacher in med school. It was concise, thorough, simple and informative, understandable even to a layman. Bird's eye view to help a hypertensive person actively participate in his medical regimen for such knowledge increases compliance with use of either lifestyle changes and medication or both.

[@Medcram]

Thanks for your support from Honduras. We'll put Thyroid and Chronic Renal Failure on the list for future lectures.

[@hiwapharm]

[@superjockstick]

Thanks so much for this posting. There are those of us who realize that nursing is also an ongoing education. Postings like this are helpful. Thanks again.

[@barbarawoods3905]

Someone said that doctors are excellent teachers, that they love to teach..hello Your lectures are living proof of it! Thank you. I never seen any nursing book explaining that easy way before. Anything that is presented a long complicated way, will be hard not only to understand and absorb, but to remember as well. I betcha You would explain gases chart way better too. Years ago in my study years, I had to put down everything from the text book into a simple chart, otherwise would never ever past one exam. Amazing how something can be simplified without loosing the most important content, on the contrary it highlights the most important and relevant content. Thanks for that.

[@drummondstephanie82]

thanks this totally helped for my med surg nursing exam. your review was perfect

Thank you Dr Seheult your outstanding videos and heroic work in ICU are greatly appreciated. I was wondering if you have made any videos which detail how to care for patients with leg ulcers. I am caring for a gentleman who is 95 years old. He is receiving codeine and his legs are being dressed daily. He is in tremendous pain and this is affecting his ability to sleep. He is finally elevating his legs but there is very little improvement.

This was one of the most helpful pharmacology videos I've ever watched... and was more helpful than most of the professors I've had in pharmacy school. This was a great review for my rotations - it's hard to condense so much information, and you did a great job to highlighting the key attributes of each class of medication. Students keep in mind that JNC 8 doesn't recommend the usage of beta blockers for hypertension anymore (this video was made in 2012; JNC guidelines came out in Jan 2014).

[@3greatgreyhounds3]

Hi I saw your comment about guidelines on beta blockers for hypertension, what does the JNC guildelines from 2014 recommend then? Thanks.

[@ketinporta4994]

MedCram - Medical Lectures Explained CLEARLY I have to tell you, a patient of mine was taking many - many bp meds and none of them did any good to him. He needed to go to the ER several times due to vertigo caused - in my opinion- by those meds. Doctors kept on insisting to have him take those and one day he decided not to take them. He was so depressed and so over everything. Two days later his bp went down. His vertigo decreased and his appetite came back. He has been taking green smoothies and stopped eating bread and beef. Began walking more often and today - a month after the last ER visit with vertigo - is happy, healthy, working out more and no signs of depresión and confusion anymore. Oh, and his BP stayed to 130/75... no meds needed. I think the was misdiagnosed when he had a panic attack and his BP was high. He had familial issues but he had no BP issues after he stopped meds.

I am not in med school but I found this to be more understandable than videos for us lay people that is so dumbed down it makes zero sense. It is important to note that the swelling due to ACE, can happen at any time, even after years of taking it and is more prone in AA. When I went to the ER the white doctor said they knew immediately what my problem was and said female AA are at higher risk of the side affect.
