Customer Reviews of RESPeRATE Ultra Blood Pressure Lowering Device, One User

Customer Review: No Effect at all on my Blood Pressure!
Summary: 2 Stars

I am a male "senior citizen" in generally good health.

I own a home blood pressure monitor (Omron HEM 711DX) purchased from Amazon. Some months ago, I noticed that my top blood pressure number was frequently over 150, too high even for my age (the bottom number has never been an issue).

I started by reading virtually everything I could find on the web about "hypertension" (high blood pressure).

My ultimate observation was that most of the articles appeared either to be copied from other articles; or were essentially paid-for endorsements for medication, devices or processes (meditation/hypnosis DVDS and books); or might be good for general health but not necessarily related to blood pressure (DASH diet). Most had very little if any statistical basis behind their recommendations. Indeed, I was amazed at how little solid information there seemed to be about bringing down blood pressure levels and how much was apparently recycled or based on trial and error.

After a physical exam and consultation, my doctor suggested a major reduction in my salt intake (goodbye to - Chinese takeout; fast-food `burgers and fries; "salty" snacks; bacon; lox; all restaurant soups; etc). With this diet change plus the few pounds it took off, my top number dropped to the 135-140 range most of the time and it stuck there.

I had read about Resperate on the web. Although some reviewers said it was "too expensive" compared to co-payments for medication, my sense was that virtually anything that could lower my blood pressure but do no real harm was preferable to medication with its doctor's visits and potential side effects. When one of the major warehouse stores with a liberal return policy had a mail-order Resperate sale, I decided to buy one.

I had hoped Resperate would take perhaps 10 points off the top blood pressure number; for me, that would have been a spectacular result.

However, this did not happen. As best I can determine, Resperate did absolutely nothing at all either to or for my blood pressure!

I used Resperate every day for a month. I usually had 13 or 14 minutes in the "under 10 breaths per minute" zone with a final rate between 4.8 and 5.5. The other numbers were also good. Last week, I spoke with the company who confirmed that I was doing everything according to instructions.

My conclusions are:

-Slow, deep breathing for 10 to 15 minutes per day may have its own benefits, but the link between that activity and blood pressure is tenuous at best. I know it is not possible to keep all other variables constant, but I took my blood pressure enough times during the day to see that there was no significant pattern change while using Resperate, even in the last week.

-While some reviewers said that the "relaxation" alone from using Resperate may have lowered their blood pressure, I personally found that having to breathe in and out on queue was stressful, not relaxing. Even after a month, I didn't like using it. For me, it was not a form of meditation.

The Resperate machine seems to be a well made and well thought out device; mechanically, it is fine; the documentation is good; there is customer support - all of which combined to move it up from the lowest or 1* rating.

The 2* rating above reflects performance of the product; it didn't do what it was supposed to do - lower my blood pressure.

Since, as noted, I bought the Resperate from a warehouse store with a liberal return policy, it is going back for a refund.

Introducing RESPeRATE Ultra, our smartest device ever. All the power of the original RESPeRATE in just half the size. Featuring a large, enhanced display, fewer buttons and simple menus, this unit is a true pleasure to experience. RESPeRATE Ultra also includes a first-of-its-kind Interactive Tutorial that effortlessly guides you to become an expert in harnessing the natural power of your breathing.

How RESPeRATE Lowers Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is generally caused by your blood vessels tightening up and narrowing; this then causes your heart to pump harder. RESPeRATE's unique breathing exercise relaxes constricted blood vessels to reduce high blood pressure.

Three Easy Steps

Step 1: The respiration sensor monitors your breathing.

Step 2: The RESPeRATE computerized unit composes a personalized melody with prolonged inhale and exhale guiding tones.

Step 3: Simply listen to the melody through the headphones and synchronize your breathing.

RESPeRATE guides you to slow your breathing to less than 10 breaths per minute.

The physiological result? The muscles surrounding the small blood vessels in your body dilate, and relax. Blood is allowed to flow more freely, and pressure is directly, significantly lowered.

Using a breathing sensor, RESPeRATE automatically analyzes your individual breathing pattern and creates a personalized melody composed of two distinct inhale and exhale guiding tones, delivered through comfortable earphones.

Simply listen to the melody through the headphones and synchronize your breathing to the tones. By prolonging the exhalation tone RESPeRATE guides you to slow your breathing and reach the "therapeutic zone" of less than 10 breaths per minute.

The physiological result? The muscles surrounding the small blood vessels in your body dilate, and relax. Blood is allowed to flow more freely, and pressure is directly, significantly lowered.

RESPeRATE's "Interactive Respiratory Pacing" Technology Makes The Difference
Scientific evidence has shown that structured therapeutic breathing, if performed without an effort or particular concentration, can significantly lower your blood pressure. However, these effortless therapeutic breathing sessions are difficult to perform on your own without years of training or continuous, individualized coaching. That is why RESPeRATE was developed.

To deliver effortless therapeutic breathing without any prior training, RESPeRATE utilizes a patented "Interactive Respiratory Pacing" technology, which ingeniously takes advantage of the body's natural tendency to follow external rhythms.

Proven in Seven Clinical Trials
Within 3 to 4 weeks of use, a significant, all day reduction in blood pressure can be achieved.
And while your breathing returns to normal after each session with RESPeRATE, the beneficial impact on your blood pressure is cumulative. Bottom line: with regular use of RESPeRATE, measurable, sustained reduction in blood pressure is achieved.

Who Should Use RESPeRATE
Whether you are already taking anti-hypertension medication or still trying to lower blood pressure with diet and exercise, RESPeRATE might just be the tool you need.

Clinically Proven
Seven clinical trials repeatedly found RESPeRATE to be safe and effective for people with high blood pressure, either medicated or unmedicated, male or female, younger and older.

In fact RESPeRATE is the only non-drug therapy that has been clinically proven over and over again to lower blood pressure. One particular study, published in American Journal of Hypertension, even found that RESPeRATE delivered significant blood pressure reductions for people who had uncontrolled blood pressure despite taking three or more medications at maximum dosage.
