By the time you finish reading this article, your blood pressure will go down by 10 points. High blood pressure is the number-one risk factor for death in all countries, according to the Global Burden of Disease Study. Increased blood pressure damages the very small blood vessels in our eyes and kidneys. It’s the major cause of Kidney failure, Heart Disease, and Stroke. Every 1 in 3 Indians has High blood pressure. It’s a silent sudden fatal disease. Many do not know that they have high blood pressure, since it does not show any symptoms in most cases. Many young and adults end up in kidney failure and then dialysis because of this deadly disease.
The three major causes of High blood pressure are Salt, Oil, and animal protein diet. They damage the endothelial layer in the blood vessels and cholesterol goes and sticks to it and forms plaque. It’s called arteriosclerosis. This causes obstruction in blood flow, in various parts of your body and leads to an increase in blood pressure. Perfect health depends on the perfect Circulation of Blood in our body. Let’s learn about how Salt, Oil, and animal protein cause arteriosclerosis.
Threads from High Blood Pressure

Salt
Salt is a compound made up of about 40 percent sodium and 60 percent chloride. Sodium is an essential nutrient, but if you consume too much, it can cause water retention, and your body may respond by raising your blood pressure to push the excess fluid and salt out of your body. Another important factor is, that high salt injures the endothelial layer in our blood circulatory system independent of its impact on blood pressure. This harm begins within thirty minues1 of every single high-salt meal. Using a technique called laser Doppler flowmetry, researchers are able to measure blood flow in the tiny vessels in the skin. After a high-sodium meal, there is significantly less blood flow
One salty meal, not only increases blood pressure but also begins to stiffen the arteries 2. The more salty food you take, you are destroying your blood vessels. The food industry adds more salt to its food products and it is called hidden salt since salt is addictive in nature.
How to reduce salt in your diet?
First, don’t add salt to the meal at the table. Do not keep the salt shaker on the table. Second, use a little salt in the cooking. The food may taste bland at first, but within two to four weeks, the salt-taste receptors in your mouth become more sensitive, and food states better. Believe it or not, after two weeks, you will actually like the taste of food with less salt 3.
Salt is just half of the High Blood Pressure factor. The other half is the endothelial layer in the blood vessels that get damaged due to Fat, Cholesterol, and Animal Protein. The doctors generally give partial diet advice which is not enough to reverse any Chronic Disease.
Cooking Oil and Fat
Fat in any form thickens the blood and increases blood pressure. The more fat we take, the liver produces cholesterol to make the fat get soluble in the blood. Also, cholesterol from Animal food, adds up to the cholesterol level. The role of Cholesterol is used to convert the fat in food into water-soluble and helps the fat to get into the cells in the body. The nature of LDL cholesterol is, that it tends to develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. This affects the free flow of blood and increases the pressure in the heart. The HDL cholesterol acts as a cleanup crew and brings back the LDL to the liver.
A single-time meal high in animal fat — sausage and egg McMuffin was used in the study in clinical research and can paralyze our arteries, cutting their ability to expand normally in half within hours of eating animal food products4.
The whole lining of our blood circulatory system gets inflamed and hardened. And just as that inflammation — so here’s the graph below that shows hours after high-fat meal and inflammation in our blood vessels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 hrs.
By monitoring your blood pressure before and after 30 min of a high-fat animal diet, you can check whether this is true or not yourself. It takes another 5 to 6 hrs for the inflammation in the blood vessels to calm down. After this 5 to 6 hrs, comes the next mealtime. Again one starts harming their blood vessels by consuming unhealthy food.
All cooking oils are high in Omega 6 essential fat and are inflammatory. In order not to get Heart Disease one needs to use the bare minimum of cooking oil and must take appropriate food that contains Omega 3 essential fat. If you have High blood pressure, you need to switch to an Oil-free diet to reverse it. The use of Olive oil or any other heart-healthy oil is just marketing. If you are using ordinary refined oil, your disease condition progresses like you are traveling at the speed of 60 or more km/hr in a car. If you are using High-quality cold-press Olive oil, then it’s like going at 30 km/hr. In this, your disease condition is still progressing, but can not get well.
Animal-based food
After a meal of animal-based food, one has to suffer from endotoxemia. The blood gets mixed with bacterial toxins, known as endotoxins that are present in animal products. These dead meat bacterial toxins aren’t destroyed by stomach acid or by pancreatic enzymes, or cooking. The saturated animal fat present in animal-based food boosts the absorption of these toxins into our bodies. Because these toxins are fat-soluble, get dissolved well in the fat while cooking, enter into our bloodstream easily, and cause inflammation in the blood vessels. No matter how hygienic and fresh, the animal-based food is, endotoxins will be produced by the bacteria.
Diabetes
High blood glucose level injures the endothelial layer in the blood vessel. To heal the wound, cholesterol goes and sticks to it. The presence of High Blood Pressure was 1.5–2.0 times higher in patients with diabetes than in those who do not have diabetes.
Alcohol and Smoking
Drinking alcohol and Smoking Damage the Endothelial layer in the blood vessels and cause high blood pressure and Heart disease. There are a lot of proven nutrition and diet methods to quit easily these bad habits. Contact me, if you need help quitting alcohol and smoking. Soon I will be writing articles on these.
Lifestyle factors
such as Not drinking enough water, not getting enough sleep, and lack of exercise are also contributing to high blood pressure.
What About Medications?
Medications are saving lives and must be taken. But will not help in the long run. If you are not going to change your diet and lifestyle, more powerful medications will be prescribed by your doctor that will have lots of side effects and will end up in the ICU one day. If you have High Blood Pressure, it means you are sitting on a ticking bomb.
The Solution
It’s scientifically proven that a whole-food plant-based diet, can reverse High Blood Pressure. Today most people’s diets consist of High fat, High animal protein, and low fiber. You understood now that our daily food choices and lifestyle causes chronic inflammation in the body. It leads to Diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, etc. after a long run. To reduce High blood pressure and come out of medications by cleaning the blood vessels filled with cholesterol, fat, and calcium deposits in 4 to 12 weeks, through my Diet, Nutrition, and Lifestyle Program, Please send a Whatsapp request by tapping the Whatsapp image below for more details.
If you want to Prevent or Reverse Type 2 Diabetes, you must have a clear understanding of what Insulin Resistance means. Many think Type 2 Diabetes is a lack of insulin. It’s a partial truth. First, a person gets Insulin Resistance, then the pancreas makes more insulin to maintain the normal glucose levels in the body, and then it slowly loses the ability to produce insulin as the days pass by slowly. This is the Problem with Diabetes. You should know what causes insulin resistance. No matter how much Insulin one takes daily if this is not fixed Diabetes will get worse. I have seen some Diabetic patients take insulin, but the glucose level did not come down. It’s due to Insulin resistance. Many believe that glucose is the culprit of Diabetes. Interestingly it’s fat.
In the year 1927, Dr. Sweeny, M.D. from the US conducted novel research on a group of young healthy medical students. They were used to study the effect of different preceding diets. The students on the fat diet were given only olive oil butter, mayonnaise made with egg yolk, and 20 percent cream for two days. A glucose tolerance test was conducted after that and you can see the result in the below picture.
The next 2 Days of Carbohydrate Diet were given. Then the glucose tolerance test is conducted. You can see the results in the below picture.
Dr. Sweeny was discern that fat is playing a decisive role in glucose utilization in cell function. After many years, in 2014, a research paper titled ‘Free Fatty Acids and Muscle Insulin Resistance’ was published in ‘Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science, Volume 121’. It says Insulin resistance is now accepted to be closely associated with lipid accumulation inside the muscle cells. Hence, It is scientifically proven that insulin resistance is caused by a high-fat diet.
To understand how Insulin works, you have to imagine insulin as a door key that unlocks the door. If the door lock functions well, then using insulin, the door can be unlocked and glucose can get in. In the case of insulin resistance, it is like gum is blocking the lock keyhole and then insulin is not able to work.
Now, many who are on Insulin for years are able to get reversed out of Type 2 Diabetes through Diet and Lifestyle. The Only Solution to Insulin Resistance Problem is a Whole Plant-based Diet. Fiber-rich diet and phytochemicals in plant-based food flush out the unhealthy fat in the body and increase insulin sensitivity. A Whole Plant-based diet not only prevents Type 2 Diabetes but also helps Reverse Type 2 Diabetes. One cannot come out of Diabetes without fixing this Insulin Resistance. Once Insulin Resistance is developed, Pancreas starts secreting more insulin. At this stage, glucose levels will be right. But the pancreas slowly loses the ability to secrete insulin over the days. Then the person becomes Diabetic. There are a few other Causes of Type 2 Diabetes and I will share them soon. If you or your loved one needs help to reverse type 2 diabetes, please Whatsapp me to come out of Diabetes in 30 to 90 Days through Diet and Lifestyle Naturally. Share this article with your friends.
Bad habits will ruin your life. Everyone knows it. But many are not able to overcome. The good news is bad habits can be changed, for that you must understand how they work. Habits work on a neurological level and it’s automatic. Once you feel triggered, then automatically you do a routine and will get the reward. This is how habits work. Whether it is alcoholism, smoking, pornography (sexual addictions), drug addiction, snacking, or any other bad habits: It’s all works in this way. Your old deep habits can be overridden by new patterns in your nervous system. 40% of actions people do each day are not actual decisions, but habits. In this article, I am going to share some practical ideas for changing bad habits like smoking, alcohol, sexual addiction, and snacking.
How do habits work?
Your brain is constantly looking for ways to save effort. Your brain will try to make almost any routine into a habit. Anything that you do repeatedly over time, will become a habit. First, there is a tiger that tells your brain to go into automatic mode. This process within your brain is a three-step loop. Then it chooses a routine, which can be physical, mental, or emotional. Finally, there is a reward. During the rewarding process, the brain releases most of the happy hormones like Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins in some amount depending on the routine. Now you would understand why habits are nearly effortless routine.
The Golden Rule of Habit Change
You cannot truly extinguish bad habits. To change a habit, you must keep the old trigger and the old reward. But Insert a new routine. That’s the rule. If you use the same cue and provide the same reward, you can shift the routine and change the habit. almost any bad behavior can be transformed if the cue and reward stay the same.
This Golden rule has influenced treatments of alcoholism, weight loss, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and hundreds of other destructive bad habits. Understanding it can help you to change your own habits. Attempts to give up snacking, for instance, will often fail unless there is a new routine to satisfy old triggers and get a similar reward. A smoker usually cannot quit unless finding some activity to replace cigarettes when a nicotine craving is triggered.
You must make a self-analysis and figure out all the things that trigger a particular habit. For example, alcoholics crave a drink because it offers escape, relaxation, companionship, subdues anxieties, and an opportunity for emotional release. They crave a cocktail to forget their worries.
The Power of God
If habit replacement is so effective, you may seem to fail at some critical moments in your life. Replacement habits become durable only when new behaviors when are accompanied by something else.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), is one of the largest, most well-known, and successful habit-changing organizations in the world. Researchers interviewed those who got success in AA. All of them said the same thing: Identifying triggers and choosing new routines is important, but without another ingredient, the new habits never fully took stronghold.
The secret, the alcoholics said, was God.
Researchers hated the explanation. God and spirituality are not testable hypotheses. Churches are filled with drunks who continue to drink despite a deep faith. What those alcoholics believed is some higher power had entered their lives is make it through the stressful periods with their sobriety intact. Trusting in God and promises in the bible reworked habit loop into a permanent behavior. A decision to turn your will and your lives over to the care of God as you understand him. As you start trusting in God, worries disappear.
In a 1994 Harvard study that examined people who had radically changed their lives, for instance, researchers found that some people had remade their habits after a personal tragedy, such as divorce or a life-threatening illness. Others changed after they saw a friend go through something awful.
However, there was no tragedy that preceded people’s transformations. They changed because they were embedded in social groups that made change easier. One woman said her entire life shifted when she signed up for a psychology class and met a wonderful group. When people join groups where change seems possible, the potential for that change to occur is more real. There are simply communities sometimes of just one other person – who make change believable. One woman told researchers her life transformed after a day spent cleaning toilets – and after weeks of discussing with the rest of the cleaning crew whether she should leave her husband.
“Change occurs among other people”, one of the psychologists involved in the study. “It seems real when we can see it in other people’s eyes. AA so effective – the power of a group to teach individuals how to believe – happens whenever people come together to help one another change. Belief is easier when it occurs within a community.
For a habit to change, you must believe change is possible. Most often, that belief only emerges with the help of a group.
If you want to quit smoking, figure out a different routine that will satisfy the cravings filled by cigarettes. Then, find a support group, a collection of other former smokers, or a community that will help you believe you can stay away from nicotine, and use that group when you feel you might stumble. Belief is essential, and it grows out of the communal experience, even if that community is only as large as two people.
Researchers on Dieting say creating new food habits requires predetermined triggers such as planning menus in advance and simple rewards for dieters when they stick to their intentions.
What I have shared in this blog is from the book, ” The Power of Habit, why do we do what we do and how to change”, by Charles Duhingg.
Avoiding triggers within your ability makes overcoming any bad habits easier. It is important to note that the process of habit change is easily described, but it does not necessarily follow that it is easily accomplished. Changing any habit requires determination. No one will quit smoking cigarettes simply because they ketch a habit loop.
Diet and Lifestyle plays important role in good and bad triggers. Refined sugar-based food products like chocolates and sugar drinks, Caffeine based drinks like Tea and Coffee, meat-based food products, spicy food Tiggers many bad habits. Plant-based palatable and good seasoned food makes your brain calm and composed of good things in the mind.
Exercise like simple walking for 20 to 30 min a day, Sleeping early before 10 PM regularly, Brushing teeth daily, Taking a bath every day, etc. plays important role in suppressing triggers that leads to bad habits.
Constipation plays important role in triggering bad habits. It affects sleep, causes irritation easily, makes anyone not able to focus. Fiber-rich plant-based diet is important to keep your colon clean.
To come out of sexual addictions finding out what triggers is important. For men drinking mint tea, non-GMO soy milk, flaxseed helps to reduce libido. For women Oats meal without dairy milk helps to reduce libido.
All dairy products contain hormones. Following a dairy-free lifestyle is important for a healthy lifestyle and overcoming addictions.

If the causes are not fixed, then taking Natural remedies is of no use. Without switching to a Whole plant-based diet, no one can reverse any chronic disease with Natural remedies.
This simple animation will help you to understand why many fail when they try natural remedies. The right solution is, you must seal the hole first, then expel the water inside. Many health seekers are mainly concerned with overcoming a specific health problem, using a specific method or remedy that promises quick results.
I remember, my friend who is an MD doctor from JIPMER, one of the premier medical institutes in India, told me this long back while I was chatting with him on Facebook. What he told me was true. He said, many try natural remedies at home, then they come to doctors. Many try natural remedies on youtube and they fail and surrender to doctors at last.
I am going to answer that. Sometimes the remedy may not the right one. It’s not science-based. Even if it is science-based, it is not working for many. Because there are many different causes for one disease. Take for example diabetes. Causes are a high-fat diet, high refined carbohydrate diet, obesity, lack of physical activity, low insulin production, Low chromium and selenium, and bad bacteria in the lower part of the stomach. If the causes are not fixed, then taking Natural remedies is of no use. People who do not understand the Lifestyle and Diet causes of chronic disease, cannot reverse the disease. All Chronic Diseases are caused by inflammation and toxicity. The causes of inflammation (vaatham) and toxicity are animal protein, vegetable oil, high salt, Low fiber, lack of vitamins and minerals by consuming fewer vegetables and greens, etc. They cause inflammation (vaatham) and toxicity in the whole body. Without switching to a Whole plant-based diet, no one can reverse any chronic disease.
Many Remedies for One Problem
Many are trying home natural remedies for cancer, fibroid, kidney diseases, diabetes, hypertension, etc. Some get results and many do not get the same. There are many remedies for one problem. It works for some, some do not work for others. It’s because one person may have one cause and another person may have another cause. Some remedies work for some causes, some remedies work for some other causes. One important thing in healing is, one must understand the causes of disease.
Some try a Natural remedy and it really works, but they have to take it lifelong, just like modern medicine. After trying for a long, they will get fed up and quit. I prescribe effective natural remedies that are proven evidence-based. Simultaneously I help the sick by removing the causes of the disease, expelling the toxins, and taking a healthy diet that supplies vitamins and minerals to rebuild the body to work effectively. Hence sick need not take a natural remedy for life long. It’s just for a period of time.
A good expert in Natural Healing should know the cause behind the cause. One will cause a problem, and that will lead to another problem. Without removing the cause, one can not solve it. To heal Kidney disease, the cause may be diabetes or hypertension, or both. Without correcting the underlying disease, Kidney disease cannot be reversed. The same applies to many other disease conditions.
Quality of the Remedy
Sometimes the remedies you are trying may not be a potent quality one. Many herbal products lot their potency due to quality issues. Make sure you bought recently packed good quality herb from the health food store.

God: “who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases” (Psalms 103:3)
I started my Healing Journey in my life by believing in the above Bible verse. You may be thinking that Chronic Diseases are caused by genetics. No, They are caused by Lifestyle Choices you made daily in the past, over the years. I believe there is no incurable disease, except born genetic health defects. Chronic Diseases won’t come into someone’s life suddenly. It takes years to develop. Many belives chronic diseases are only manageable with medicines prescribed by doctors. All Chronic Diseases can be reversed and put in remission through Diet and lifestyle. Once you know the lifestyle and diet that causes the disease, then you have to start working on transforming your life towards a healthy lifestyle, then you will achieve Vibrant Health.
What is Lifestyle?
The way you live every day. How much time do you sleep? At what time do you go to bed? How much water do you drink every day? What kind of diet do you eat mostly? What kind of air do you inhale mostly? How much physical activity do you do? Bad habits you may have, Your belief in God, all decide your health.
I started my healing journey right from my college days, helping my friends and myself. I use to put charcoal poultice for my friends and teach them about healthy living. I had a severe psoriasis-like skin problem on my left leg for almost a year. With prayer and a raw vegetable diet for 10 days, it was gone. Right from my school days, I was passionate about healing others. because Jesus Healed many. I am a computer science graduate. I Started Xulon Zoe Health Retreat Center in 2010 Dec with some doctors to help cancer patients given up by doctors. I did Nutrition and Dietetics since my passion was Healing. I learned a lot during this journey of healing sick people. I will continue to share those through this blog.
I have treated many kinds of cancer, Diabetes Type 1 & 2, Very high blood pressure, Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, psoriasis, eczema, IBS, Chrons, HIV, fibroid, endometriosis, Ovarian cysts, PCODs, Infertility, Erectile dysfunction, Low sperm count, gallstone, kidney stone, migraine, etc.
Steps to Heal
My Protocol is very simple. I detox the patient’s colon, kidney, liver, and Lymph through simple natural methods that fit their condition and give them a healthy diet that is clinically proven and evidence-based. For example, I cannot give fruit juices to a diabetic patient for liver detox. I use some other alternatives for clearing their bile ducts. All I teach them Healthy Lifestyle which is possible for any busy person to follow. I had a lot of failures and successes in treating patients. Also, keep improving my knowledge and skill daily to serve sick people.
There are is no incurable chronic disease. But there are incurable persons in this world. For some it’s too late, for others, it’s their mindset. Those who are able to predict the danger ahead for their or their loved one’s health problem take the right decision and find the right solution. Please share your comments below. Thank you.
