title: Integrating a CAM Therapeutic Strategy for Hypertension.
abstract: Traditional approaches used to manage the complexities of hypertension (HTN) have achieved modest success. Most persons with HTN in the United States have blood pressure that is uncontrolled or inadequately controlled on medications, or they are unaware that they even have HTN. Because so many US adults with uncontrolled HTN are at risk for developing heart disease and stroke, an innovative therapeutic approach is needed. One such approach, a complementary and alternative medicine strategy called IZI LLC sponsors Self I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono® (SITH®), shows promise in the management of HTN and other chronic health conditions. The goal of this article is to describe the SITH® process and how this therapeutic strategy can be used in practice.
