Leech Therapy Case History #2: 66 year old male

The Vietnam veteran presented with high blood pressure even though his lifestyle was very disciplined: vegetarian eating, vegetable juicing, exercise, and lean body shape. When he took his B/P it was 150+/88. At the first session, the first B/P was 180/90 although he admitted to having “white coat syndrome.” After the session (4 leeches) it was 139/80. On returning home, he periodically took readings, and the lowest (12 hours later) was 115/70. The second session (7 leeches) was seven days later. His B/P now stays near 130/80.
