The phrase 'do not be afraid' appears often in the Bible. The angel Gabriel greeted Mary, the mother of Jesus, by this saying when he was sent by God to deliver her our salvation's message. I was reminded with this story just recently; St. Paul was going to be executed by the Romans in the morning of the next day. They had to wake him up from deep peaceful sleep to lead him to his execution. He was totally 'not afraid.' He was in total peace with Christ. By executing him, he was going to be with Christ in Paradise. So, he slept soundly.

My Blood Pressure Story Over 30 Months
The initial drop was due to taking Valsartan (80 mg, twice day). Then I stopped taking the medicine or I was not that compliant in taking it daily. My blood pressure was unstable during that time. For the past 7 months I began taking Losartan (50 mg/day). My blood pressure began to stabilize and drop down again. I switched from Losartan to Valsartan (80 mg/day) again (half my previous dose) and I saw even a better drop in blood pressure and better control. Another thing I did was I began taking magnesium gummies (200 mg/day) and CoQ-10 enzyme (200 mg/day) about a year ago. These two supplements are known to help with blood pressure. I am a numbers guy, and number don't lie. Sometimes an image is worth a 1000 words. The second and the third graphs depict the tail data from the first during the past 7 and 12 months, respectively.

Feeling better, being better
No one who's been alive has not got sick at least once. Pharmaceuticals in the form of medications are often prescribed to 'restore health.' The sick person may feel better by taking the medications, but is he really better? Being better is totally different than feeling better. Your cough may get suppressed by medications, but the cause of the cough might still be there. You may feel better, but you are not better. Pharmaceuticals often suppress the symptoms of the disease to make the person feel better, but in actuality he is not better because the route of the disease is still there. Take for example anti-hypertensive medications. They may restore the blood pressure to 'normal,' but the cause of the rise in blood pressure remains in the background waiting for the moment the patient stops taking the medication. Anti-hypertensive medications suppress the rise in blood pressure, but the person still suffer from hypertension. The allopathic approach to healing focuses on masking the symptoms more than eradicating the disease. It is a suppressive modality. Allopathic medicine shines in emergencies such as car accidents, surgeries, heart attacks, but fails miserably in handling chronic diseases. To feel better is not synonymous with being better. The two are just not the same.

The Ten Commandments
"Now the Lord spoke all these words, saying;
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol or a likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me; but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: neither you, nor your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, your cattle, nor your stranger who sojourns with you. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath Day and hallowed it.
Honor your father and mother that it may be well with you, and your days may be long upon the good land the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his house, and neither shall you covet his field, nor his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, any of his cattle, or whatever belongs to your neighbor."
