RESPeRATE has changed my life.

When I retired from work my doctor discovered that I suffered from hypertension. My blood pressure was 210 over 110 which was just outrageous and my doctor immediately put me on medications. I was very scared because I knew high blood pressure could lead to stroke and so many other health problems.

After almost 20 years of consistently adhering to a medication regimen and a daily fitness program, my blood pressure was still high - at least 165/88 mmHg - so two years ago I entered a clinical trial for RESPeRATE at the Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago.

At first I did'nt't believe it would really do anything, but I was completely won over. RESPeRATE did wonders for my blood pressure. By the end of the 8-week clinical trial, my blood pressure dropped down to an amazing 122/74 mmHg, something neither the medication nor the exercise had ever been able to do. After the trial ended I kept my RESPeRATE device and I have been using it every single day ever since.

I love RESPeRATE because it is the only thing that could finally get my blood pressure under complete control, and I also find it extremely relaxing. When I come home from the gym I have my shower and my lunch, then I sit down on the sofa and put my feet up and put my RESPeRATE on and just relax - it's just lovely. It's the best part of my day - when I don't have to think about anything else and I can just enjoy those 15 minutes of breathing exercises.

It is such a relief to finally have my blood pressure at a normal level and to not have to constantly worry about all kinds of medical problems. I believe very strongly in the benefits of RESPeRATE; it has had a profound affect on my health and I plan to continue using it for a very long time.

I have a family history of blood pressure. Both my parents suffered from high blood pressure. Because I suffer from type 2 diabetes, I knew that even relatively mild hypertension greatly increases the risk of blindness, kidney failure, stroke and other serious conditions. When I discovered in my early 50s that my blood pressure was high, my doctor immediately prescribed medication to help control it, beginning what has become a lengthy quest to discover the most appropriate medication. Even after trying about five different medications, my blood pressure still averaged 157/92 mmHg.

I have never smoked and I made adjustments to my lifestyle to help improve my blood pressure, but I still found that I was unable to reduce my blood pressure to a safe range until I enrolled in a clinical trial for RESPeRATE, a non-drug medical device for the adjunctive treatment of high blood pressure at the Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago.

As I became familiar with the device I discovered that it decreased my blood pressure significantly. Over the course of the study, my blood pressure went from 157/92 mmHg to a much healthier 140/73 mmHg. I found the treatment enjoyable and a pleasant experience. I think the RESPeRATE is very helpful in controlling my blood pressure in a way that medication alone was unable to do. I find the breathing exercise with the RESPeRATE to be very pleasant and the overall benefits to be substantial.

I'm a 32-year-old male who was diagnosed with hypertension three years ago, with a blood pressure reading of 150/95 plus. I exercised regularly, walking and weight lifting three times a week. I have a classic Type A personality. My job is high-pressure and my work life tends to be stressful. I also travel extensively. To top it all off, I have a family history of heart disease and high blood pressure.

I started using RESPeRATE four months ago. My blood pressure is now down to 120/75. I use it four times a week for 15 minutes at a time. I enjoy using the product; it relaxes me and the time goes by quickly. I use it at work, on the train during my commute and take it with me when I travel. It's great to use while flying. I'm a busy person but it's easy enough to find the time to use this device. RESPeRATE is a great complement to diet and exercise in controlling high blood pressure. I highly recommend it!

I'm feeling back to my old self. I am 70-years-old. I have a family history of hypertension, but I was not aware that this was a problem for me until 1995.

At that time, I was diagnosed with hypertension after experiencing a series of fainting spells. I was in and out of the Emergency Room and I was really scared! I had to change my lifestyle. I stopped exercising and couldn't be as active as I wanted to be. I became very worried about my health. My blood pressure at that time was in the range of 160-200/80-90 mmHg. The hospital physician prescribed antihypertensive medication for me. I tried more "natural therapies," including a change in my diet, but these efforts did not have a dramatic effect on my blood pressure and my hypertension was still uncontrolled.

In 1998, however, I visited my family doctor who recommended a new device he had just heard of -- the RESPeRATE.

I was happy to hear about a new approach for treating high blood pressure that was not a drug and had no side effects, yet was clinically proven to work. My husband, who happens to be a scientist, was intrigued by the product and encouraged me to try it. I am so glad I did! It changed my life. It did not happen overnight, but within just a few weeks my blood pressure started going down. My blood pressure is now stable at around 135-140/70-80 mmHg. My blood pressure is under control and I am back to my old self.

I have been using RESPeRATE for almost two years now, and I highly recommend it to anyone with high blood pressure! I thank InterCure for saving me.

RESPeRATE Helps Me Control My Hypertension.
I was diagnosed with hypertension a little more than one year ago at the age of 46. I am a smoker and I work long hours in a high-stress environment. Stopping smoking was out of the question! I just couldn't do it! I am not overweight but I don't enjoy exercise. I began using RESPeRATE when I heard about it through friends. I thought this was easy enough to use, and definitely worth a try. The device is very simple to use and its small size makes it possible to take along with me on my frequent business trips.

I have been using RESPeRATE daily for over a year, and measuring my blood pressure regularly. Within a month of starting to use the device, my blood pressure decreased by 20 mmHg systolic and 15 mmHg diastolic. I couldn't have been more pleased. At one point during the year, other personal problems distracted me from my goal and I stopped using the RESPeRATE device for ten days. During that period my blood pressure increased by 20 mmHg systolic and 10 mmHg diastolic. But when I returned to regular use, I was able to achieve the same decline as before.

All in all, I am very thankful for the RESPeRATE treatment, which has made it possible for me to maintain my blood pressure around 140/90 mmHg without any special change in lifestyle.
