Methodology

The study aimed to find out if juice fasting could cure hypertension specifically if there is a significant correlation of the systole and diastole during the duration of the treatment. It also aimed to identify some of the short-term side effects experienced by the patients during and after the treatment.

While most of the write up was done here in Poblacion, Bontoc, most of the respondents were patients at St. Theodore’s Hospital in Sagada. Only one patient is from Bontoc so it was really a costly research because trips have to be frequent from Bontoc to Sagada and vice versa. Many times, only the team leader went to Sagada while the others took charge of writing the reports and doing other tasks.

The study made use of Pearson formula to determine the correlation of the systole and diastole of the patient during the duration of the treatment. Furthermore, questioner and interview method were used to determine the short-term effects experienced by the 4 hypertensive patients who were the subject of the research. The patients were to have juice fasting which is made from the purest extract of organically grown uncooked fruits and vegetables.
