 RespeRate Review February 1, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I purchased this item at the end of December of 07. I have used it almost every day since for 15 minutes. Blood pressure has dropped by 15-20 points on the high side and about the same on the low. I have also cut my blood pressure medication in half. Before using this I was having trouble controling blood pressure. You have to use it regularly to get results.
 No one talks about this -- This Unit is NOT A VALUE January 30, 2008

There are a lot of good reviews here on Resperate. A number of them sound so good they could have been "placed" here by the manufacturer.
Look, I have no doubt that Resperate will make a reduction happen for many people who use it, because the idea is sound. It's based on good science-that meditation reduces blood pressure readings.
But let's take a look at what you get here. This is basically a $30 Chinese CD player being sold with a built in "tune" for $300. It is NOT a quality product. I used it for two months, got a small reduction in my blood pressure readings. But the first unit I received was defective within a week, and the second one looked like it was going to have the same problems. Physically, it is not made well. It's chintzy. And when I spend $300 for an electronic device, MAN that thing had better be cool, and really made well. In this case, the little plastic piece that has the digital readout on it came off, the earphone jack had to be held in only a certain way in order to work, and the cheazy little monitor thing that goes around your chest is actually hard-wired right into the case, which is crazy because it is prone to shorting out. So, in short, you'd have to be really nutty to keep this thing after the 30 day evaluation because its "self-destruct" mode starts kicking in about then. The company has a great $100 product here, but they put an extra $200 into the retail price so that they could promote the heck out of it. Even the headphones that come with it are so cheaply made that they fall apart faster than the units that they give away in airline seats.
What you get with Resperate is something that you could have for free just by sitting in a chair and slowing down your breathing. What you DON'T get is quality. This is a device equivalent to what you'd get for $25 or $30 in a WalMart if you were buying some kind of electronic gadget. Cheazy and without any similarity to something worth $300. And for those who believe that the blood pressure result is what you are paying for, and not the unit itself, you can get EXACTLY the same results by spending $20 on a meditation/breathing CD and listening to it an hour or two a week.
Yes, it does work! January 25, 2008

I don't know why, but Amazon never posted my review, so I will try again.
First let me say that I am in no way affliated with InterCure, the maker of the Resperate. I am just an average person who was looking for a way to lower his blood pressure without using drugs and enduring their dreaded side effects.
To make a long story short, I was desperate to lower my blood pressure. It was peaking at 150/100 during the most stressful part of my day. Well, after using the Resperate device for about 2 months, my blood pressure has dropped to an average of about 115/75!
I have not experienced any side effects. But, there have been some additional benefits, such as improved sleep,mental clarity, and stress relief.
If you are reading this most likely you are trying to lower your blood pressure. You have nothing to lose by trying the Resperate. Go for it!

After reading about it in a magazine, I bought this product as a gift for a dear friend.
She has high blood pressure, can't tolerate any medications, and is not exactly handy with electronics.
I opened the box before I gave it to her and tried it out to be sure it wouldn't send her blood pressure zooming up with frustration when she tried to use it. It seemed to be very easy to use, and, side effect, extremely soothing what with the music (an ingenious way to follow a pattern of breathing). She has told me that she absolutely loves it. She is quite sincere. And many of her other friends are so impressed, they're getting the machine as well. It has been a real boon. She says it has changed her life and solves a problem she's been battling for so many years. I love her and don't want to lose her. Best gift I ever gave.
This product works! But... January 6, 2008

First of all let me start with the negative: I believe this product is over-priced, especially in order to reach the elderly and poor people. This is a product that can spread by word of mouth. You're not going to get everyone to buy this product at $300 and probably not for $200. I believe that other products like this will be out soon, because this product really works!
I was skeptical of this item and I told my doctor about it and he smirked at the product, another told me breathing really had nothing to do with my blood pressure. I am glad I didn't listen, but the price sort of held me back.
Pros: My average blood pressure was ranging from 150/81 to 160/90 on a regularly basis. I immediately saw a drop upon my first use. I was originally using the device 2-3 times a day, just to see if it worked. The second week of use my BP was averaging 140/90; Third week 133/85 and this week I have gotten readings below 120/80. I am going to the doctors this week and due a 5-day check from my doctor and after that schedule an appointment to discuss the item he smirked at earlier. Bottom line, I would strongly recommend buying this product. Buy it now if you can afford the price.
I think everyone with high BP should try this device, with the amount of money out there with the drug companies; this is a way for RESPERATE to come through the back door, but not at this price.
