高血壓就是血管壓力的升高。血管壓力產生於心臟，用於讓血液穿過整個循環系統。血壓的指標有兩個：前面的數字是收縮壓，是由心臟的收縮而產生的；後面的是舒張壓，就是心臟放鬆時的壓力。例如一個正常的血壓是120/80。
單單在美國高血壓患者有四千萬之多。在過去的15年中高血壓案例有戲劇性地增加。增高的血壓意味著心臟必須比平常更努力地工作，從而讓心臟和連接的血管壓力大增。這是心髒病、中風、腎衰竭、眼盲和動脈硬化的重要原因。
從西醫的角度來看，高血壓是無法治癒的疾患，而且起因不詳。大約有10%的案例與一些疾病有關，如腎病、腎上腺腫瘤（繼發性高血壓）。這樣，對並發疾病的治療有助於高血壓的降低。
其他的均可以成為基本型高血壓。標準的療法主要在藥物控制和生活方式的改善。
凱西關於高血壓的看法
凱西解讀中指出了高血壓與諸多問題的關係，但堅持認為這種疾病大多可以追源至虛弱的循環系統，那些本該流回心臟的血液有了阻礙。換句話講，血管將心臟的血液從心臟帶至身體的各個器官，並將血液送至毛細血管滋養各組織，而毛細血管和靜脈中的阻礙和腫脹，降低了血液循環回心臟。
下面是凱西解讀中的一些摘要，描述了毛細血管和靜脈的緩滯狀況：
“只要血壓增高，只要細胞的這種超負荷趨勢存在---就是動脈和靜脈的交換處（這裡是實際上的壓力發生處），只要有這樣的壓力，就有可能造成血液的凝結、細胞的爆裂或者形成血栓，明白嗎？” (解讀389-2)
“供血的壓力太高。這樣的壓力起源於升結腸和橫結腸的部位，身體腹部的這些部位需要營養以保證基本運作....
(問) 頭暈和頭痛是什麼原因引發的？
(答) 是由循環系統的阻滯，那些流回循環的中心部---心臟、肺部、肝部、腎臟---速度減緩，這樣，就引發了極高的血壓：”(解讀3525 -1)
這種循環阻滯的模式，罪常起源於大腸（結腸）中的毒素的堆積，虛弱的排泄系統更進一步加重了血管的壓力。
"(問) 如何醫治高血壓？
(答) 可以從身體按摩調理和洗腸開始。調理時還會有反复，但要堅持，同時要摒棄肉類食物。” (解讀3305-1)
“在第5，6胸椎，還有第9胸椎有錯位
前者導致了肝部的循環阻滯和胃部排空能力的降低。腹部淋巴循環的減速，引發了升結腸和部分橫結腸的膨脹變形，形成這部分的脫垂；
這兩者共同導致血壓升高，或者說身體新陳代謝壓力加大。(解讀2388-1)
我們注意到解讀敘述的脊椎問題和整脊，以激活與結腸相關的神經系統。推薦的療法包含了這兩個部分。
凱西的治療模式
考慮到高血壓涉及的諸多系統，基本的治療模式包含以下的幾個部分：
內部清理：水療包括每天飲用6-8杯水；結腸沖洗/灌腸；清理性的飲食包括大量的果蔬；蓖麻油腹部包裹法用以改善肝部和結腸的排泄能力；如果嚴重便秘，輕瀉藥適當使用。
整脊和按摩：推薦整脊治療用以擺脫循環中的神經壓迫。尤其要注意胸椎2-9節，這些部位在凱西解讀中經常提及與高血壓相關。如果整脊治療無法實施，電震動也有幫助；還有推薦沿著脊椎兩側的按摩放鬆、增加血液循環。
飲食：凱西基本飲食指導旨在改善吸收和排泄能力，聚焦於恰當的酸鹼平衡，避免了在身體裡產生大量酸性和毒素的食物。簡單來說，主要飲食是果蔬類，避免油炸食品和精緻碳水化合物（垃圾食品）。還有食物組合。
阻抗療法：阻抗裝置是凱西解讀經常推薦的一種精微能量治療儀，用來平衡循環和放鬆身體的。大多數人在治療過程中沒有任何電療感覺，但隨著治療的進行，睡眠質量和體質的改善反映出其效果。凱西強調積極的心態的重要性，建議治療時進行靜心冥想。
適度鍛煉：這一點很重要。快步行是凱西經常給高血壓患者推薦的運動。晚飯後是極佳的機會。
心態和情緒：心智的情緒的治療在凱西解讀裡面經常談及。有希望治癒的慾望非常重要。最積極的心態籍由保持於崇高的人生目的和理想中，從而療愈得以發生。

OVERVIEW OF HYPERTENSION
WHAT IS HYPERTENSION?
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is an elevation in overall blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force created by the heart as pushes blood through the circulatory system. Blood pressure is measured in two numbers. The first, or top number, is the "systolic" pressure, created when the heart contracts. The second, or bottom number, is the "diastolic" pressure, or the period during which the heart relaxes. An example of a normal blood pressure is 120/80.
Hypertension affects about 37 million Americans and the incidence rates of hypertension in the United States have increased dramatically over the past 15 years. Elevated blood pressure means that the heart is working harder than normal, putting both the heart and the arteries under a greater strain. This may contribute to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, damage to the eyes and atherosclerosis.
From a medical perspective, hypertension is regarded as an incurable illness of unknown causation. In about 10 percent of cases, hypertension is linked to specific illnesses such as kidney disease and adrenal gland tumors (secondary hypertension). In such instances, treatment of the comorbid disorder may relieve the hypertension.
The remainder of cases are called "essential" hypertension. Standard medical treatment of essential hypertension is directed at control of the illness with drugs and lifestyle changes.
EDGAR CAYCE'S PERSPECTIVE OF HYPERTENSION
The Edgar Cayce readings, while recognizing the wide variability associated with hypertension, consistently maintain that this disease most often can be traced back to patterns of poor circulation wherein the return flow of the blood to the heart is hindered. In other words, as the arteries carry the blood away from the heart to the various organs of the body and release the blood into the capillaries to nourish the tissue, engorgements and plethoric conditions in the capillaries and veins slow the blood flow as it is recycled to the heart.
Here are a couple of excerpts from the Cayce readings which describe the hindered circulation between the arteries and veins:
"As long as there's high blood pressure, as long as there's a tendency for the cells - in the change between the arterial and vein circulation so disturbed - to overflow at times (which IS the actual production or actual condition that produces pressure), under STRAIN there IS the possibility of a blood clot or cell breaking or forming - a bubble, see?" (389-2)
"The blood supply is high in the pressure. This is produced in the greater part by pressures that exist in the transverse and descending colon, and by too much flesh for the body-functionings - as through the abdominal areas....
(Q) Are the dizzy spells and headaches caused by any serious condition?
(A) Caused by this circulation that is so slow in returning to the activity of the central circulation - heart, lungs, liver, kidneys. And this produces, by this slow circulation, the extreme high blood pressure." (3525-1)
This pattern of hindered circulation was most often noted in the large intestine (colon) resulting in toxic conditions and poor eliminations which further increased the blood pressure.
"(Q) How can high blood pressure be reduced?
(A) This may be reduced by the deep manipulations and colonic irrigations. This, too, will rise again, but it can be kept down in this manner - as keeping off of meats of any kind." (3305-1)
"There is a subluxation in the 6th and 5th dorsal, as well as a condition out of alignment in the 9th dorsal.
These first produced tendencies for a disturbance in the circulation through the liver and the emptying of the stomach proper. This slowing of the lymph through the circulation in the abdominal area causes an engorgement in the ascending and a part of the transverse colon; of course, a form of prolapsus in the descending and a portion of the transverse.
This combination causes a high blood pressure, or metabolism as disturbed in the body. (2388-1)
Note the references to spinal problems and manipulations to correct these conditions in the nervous system in addition to the problems in the colon. The treatment recommendations which follow address both of these areas.
EDGAR CAYCE'S THERAPEUTIC MODEL
Recognizing the systemic effects involved in hypertension, the primary treatment modalities are comprehensive and address various aspects of the condition:
INTERNAL CLEANSING: Hydrotherapy includes drinking six to eight glasses of pure water daily, colonic irrigations (preferably) or enemas, and cleansing diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. Castor oil packs across the abdomen are recommended to improve eliminations through the liver and colon. Mild laxatives may be helpful if constipation is a problem.
SPINAL MANIPULATION AND MASSAGE: Osteopathic or chiropractic treatment is recommended to relieve any pressures that may be hindering circulation. Special attention is to be paid to the thoracic vertebrae (2nd to 9th thoracic) as this portion of the spine was often cited in the Cayce readings on hypertension. If osteopathic or chiropractic treatment is not available, the use of an electric vibrator along the spine may be helpful. Finally, gentle massage is suggested to relax the body and balance the circulation.
DIET: The Basic Cayce Diet is intended to improve assimilation and elimination. The diet focuses heavily on keeping a proper alkaline/acid balance while avoiding foods which produce toxicity and drain the system. Essentially, the diet consists mainly of fruits and vegetables while avoiding fried foods and refined carbohydrates ("junk food"). Certain food combinations are emphasized.
RADIAL APPLIANCE: The Radial Appliance is a subtle energy device frequently recommended by Edgar Cayce to balance the circulation and relax the body. Most people do not feel anything during a treatment session, but notice improved sleep and sense of well being with repeated use. Edgar Cayce emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive attitude while attached to the appliance and encouraged individuals to meditate during the therapy sessions.
MODERATE EXERCISE: Moderate exercise is an important aspect of balanced living. Walking was a favorite exercise recommended by Edgar Cayce for people suffering from high blood pressure. A daily walk after supper is a good place to start.
ATTITUDES AND EMOTIONS: The mental and emotional aspects of healing are frequently discussed the Cayce readings. Particularly, an attitude of desiring and expecting to be healed is important. A positive mental and emotional attitude and can be created and maintained by focusing on a high purpose (ideal) for being healed.
