Celery Lowers Blood Pressure Naturally and Effectively

I had been on BP meds for several years when I ran across an article saying that if one eats 4-5 stalks of celery a day one could lower their  BP enough to not have to take the meds.  I checked with my doctor who said to try it for a month and see what happens.  Normally withoug meds my BP was 190 over 86. I didn't change anything else, and oh by the way, I carry around an extra 50 pounds as well but didn;t try to lose weight during this whole thing. So after a month of eating celery stalks and getting proficient at picking out the fiborous threads out of my teeth that accompany it, I went to the doctor and the BP was 120 over 72!!!  Both my doctor and I were excited and I got off my meds.  That was 4 years ago and I still maintain that lower BP. Perhaps this will help some one else. C
