Product Description
A PIONEERING APPROACH TO OVERCOMING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE If you are one of the millions of people diagnosed with high blood pressure, this groundbreaking book can change your life. Unique in combining a medical and a psychological approach, Samuel J. Mann, M.D., explains:How you can tell whether or not your high blood pressure is related to emotionsHow to find the medication best suited for you, and when to reduce or eliminate unnecessary medicationHow exploring "hidden" or repressed emotions can reduce your blood pressure and the need for medication Featuring compelling and instructive case histories as well as the latest medical research, Healing Hypertension can help you make sense of your high blood pressure while offering new choices for controlling it. "In Healing Hypertension, Dr. Samuel Mann pushes the boundaries of medicine by demonstrating the emotional components of hypertension, one of the most serious health problems of our day. Healing Hypertension shows that it is not enough to attend to our physical bodies; we must look to our emotional life as well if we expect to be healthy and whole. This is an immensely important book." -Larry Dossey, M.D., A Author of Healing Words and Reinventing Medicine

Amazon.com Review
"It is our hidden emotions, the emotions we do not feel, that lead to hypertension," writes Samuel J. Mann, M.D., physician/researcher and Associate Professor at the Hypertension Center at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. "Becoming aware of our hidden emotions and dealing with them can enable both physical and emotional healing," he adds. Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, affects 50 million Americans and prompts more doctor visits than any other medical condition. In Healing Hypertension, Mann explains how you can tell if hidden emotions are instrumental in your hypertension (they may not be, if your condition is mainly genetic), and if so, how you can get on the path to healing. Some clues that you may be burdened by hidden emotions include emotional trauma that you think is behind you, a habit of not feeling unwanted emotions, a history of emotional isolation, and childhood abuse or severe family dysfunction. Mann also briefly discusses how hidden emotions can affect other medical conditions such as back pain, headaches, and anxiety disorders. He spends most of the book helping you see that hidden emotions may be affecting your hypertension. The last few chapters address where you can go from there. Numerous case histories personalize the information. --Joan Price

Zero hype, great discussion and insight by Mark Adler (Pasadena, CA United States) 4 Stars
August 18, 2007
(Note: for me, five stars is reserved for something truly mind-blowing -- I haven't given one yet. Four stars for me is a really, really good rating.) This book has a great story to tell about how many instances of high blood pressure are attributable to repressed emotions. The author is a careful scientist, and clearly identifies how his conclusions arise from information that is in some sense anecdotal. He also is careful to note that only some hypertension can be so attributed, and how drugs are still a very important tool in regulating this problem. I was pleased to read a down-to-earth book on hypertension that did not pretend to have all the answers. Having said all that, it turns out that the main hypothesis presented in the book did not apply to me, so the book did not provide a non-drug solution for me. Though that's not the fault of the book. The book did have an excellent section on the drugs that are used, what they do and how they work (to the extent we know), and what considerations are used in selected drugs. I use one of them now (lisinopril), which easily and completely controls my hypertension with a relatively low dose and no apparent side effects. The writing at times can be redundant and repetitive, but the good parts are the actual case histories that are described. I recommend this book for anyone who would like to get some real information about hypertension without someone trying to sell you something.

Excellent medical resource book by Susan Cash (Pennsylvania) 5 Stars

Great information about hypertension cause and effects and treatment available. Well written. The case studies were facinating.

Healing Hypertension by Mann by Joseph S. Maresca (Bronxville, New York USA) 5 Stars
May 19, 2005
Hypertension is inferred from a blood pressure level of 140/90 or higher. Once diagnosed, it is necessary for a physician or medical provider to probe hidden emotions which may underlie the chronic nature of hypertension. Biofeedback and relaxation techniques may reduce hypertension to within manageable ranges. With the reduction of hypertension will come a lower blood pressure. Heart conductance disturbances may be managed by drinking less coffee and alcohol. IBS in women can come from sex abuse at some stage. Brain hypertension may come from the sympathetic nervous system, noradrenalin receptors or artery constriction. This book is not a cure-all; however, the author provides rational reasons and alternatives to manage hypertension constructively.

The Advice in this Book Really Works 5 Stars
November 21, 2003
I have had a problem with white coat hypertension for a long time. I read this book and following his advice regarding the problem of not dealing with hidden emotions has resolved my problem that I thought I could never overcome. I strongly recommend this book especially if you feel that you really don't have hypertension and are just very nervous when your blood pressure is taken.

Eminently helpful 5 Stars
February 20, 2003
This is one of the best books I've ever read on hypertension. Dr. Mann's style is gentle and knowing, and he makes the concepts easy to understand. And whether your high blood pressure is linked to your repressing your emotions or not, the latter part of the book offers an excellent overview of treatment options.
