By Dr. Gary Tran Quang Minh
Dear All:
I was asked to discuss this important problem of aging people like us with emphasis on the holistic approach to deal with it on prevention and treatment.
It's going to be a long discussion. So, be patient because you will have to read several installments in the next several days before you can find the answer to your question. It's a pretty doggone complicated subject, so you need to understand the science behind it before we talk about the treatment. I used to have this problem because of my workaholic nature ( What can I say, I always trying to work my ass off all my life and I probably continue to do so until I drop dead) I managed to get rid of it. So I read up a lot about this problem. This writing is based not only on my own experience and those of my close relatives and friends in overcoming this serious disease.
I will try to discuss the following topics but i will begin at the last topic in case you need to do something pretty quick.
Zorro will assume the role of the official translator with the help of Dat and Phuoc for some technical terminology.

SCIENTIFIC SUMMARY
GENERAL PRECAUTION
SUMMARY
Once the write up is done and the translation is completed HYQ could publish it on his website.
Meanwhile, if you guys have a hypertension problem and want the natural approach to deal with it, which in my experience is the safer way to deal with it and you will live a lot longer with less side effects. The problem with conventional medicine is that it always attempts to block this, or negate that, to suppress this or to undo that, but it does not aim at healing things or correcting the root cause of what went wrong and neither does it support the functions of the body as a whole like holistic medicine. It pinpoints the treatment towards only a small part of the body instead the whole body as natural medicine would.
So, if you need to find a good anti-aging physician in your area who are more conducive toward holistic medicine check the following websites for locating one near you:
The American Academy of Anti-aging Medicine
www.worldhealth.net
(north)
The American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM)
www.acam.org
(west coast)
The American Association for Health Freedom
www.healthfreedom.net
(east coast)
These groups of doctors are specialized in treating old people to prolong their lives not just to cure diseases.
Live a long life!
