I have a neighbor that has mental problems. She also

She told me that she is now taking 3 different types of
blood pressure medications. I asked her to tell me her
cholesterol levels but she did not know those levels
or have personal copies of her blood tests and urine
tests.

Have you ever prescribed three different blood pressure
medications for one patient?

Yes.

It is dangerous for a patient to take three separate blood
pressure medications?

Uncontrolled hypertension would be potentially more dangerous.

I know from past conversations with her that she will not
follow a diet plan or exercise plan since she does not
understand the reasons why diet and exercise are important.

Have you ever had such patients?

Yes.

What do you do to treat such patients?

Get their families involved.

Teach them all how to lose weight:

My fasting has helped many overcome their fear of hunger which is the
main barrier keeping people from eating less. They now have an
encouraging mental image of their doctor not having eaten for many days
and yet still possessing great physical strength (from the Holy
Spirit).


Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,
