" ..The FDA now says it [RESPeRATE] can be sold over the counter as a means to help people lower their
blood pressure…."
Dr. Cohn has served as president of both the American Society of Hypertension and International Society of Hypertension.
Dr. Weber is the immediate past president of the American Society of Hypertension.
Dr. Black is the President Elect of the American Society of Hypertension.
RESPeRATE's ability to generate a significant and sustained reduction in blood pressure was substantiated in 10 separate clinical studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals.
The studies compared those who used RESPeRATE for 15 minutes a day for 8 weeks to a "control" group, using a walkman with relaxing music1, a home blood pressure monitoring4,5 or both.2
RESPeRATE users with uncontrolled blood pressure experienced a significant decrease in office blood pressure by up to 36 points systolic and 20 points diastolic (top 10% reductions) with average reduction of 14/8 mmHg points.
