High Blood Pressure Drugs Linked To Heart Attacks

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

About 60% of all the people who have heart attacks have NORMAL blood pressure and the vast majority of these people are taking high blood pressure drugs.

In a recent study in Europe, patients with high blood pressure who did NOTHING at all lived longer and had less complications than people who were on HBP medications.

It’s only a matter of time before you hear the medical institutions admit they were totally mistaken about heart disease and the dangers of high blood pressure drugs.

There is A LOT of money and even more ego and pride at stake with the present medical model, so don’t expect a public apology too soon . . . but it will come.

If you’ve tried the traditional approach, you’ve just participated in a massive experiment that failed. Don’t feel too bad, you’re not alone . . . millions of people have walked down the same path only to find themselves slaves of the drugs that hold them prisoner.

The government keeps lowering the standards and corralling more people into the “high-risk category” for heart disease. In spite of the fact that more high blood pressure drugs are prescribed than ever before, still sudden death is all around us. If fact, heart disease is the #1 cause of death!

Updating high blood pressure guidelines has only ONE goal . . . to sell billions of dollars worth of HBP drugs. Despite the bottom line being that HBP drugs are doing more harm than good.

How many more people do you think will be led down the same dead-end path before they announce that high blood pressure medications are NOT a cure for heart disease and actually increase the risk of sudden heart attack?

It’s true your risk of a heart attack may be greater if you have high blood pressure levels, but the cause of heart attack as well as high blood pressure is normally inflammation, NOT a drug deficiency.

Blood pressure elevation is not a disease, it’s a symptom, so you first need to find out WHY your blood pressure is high, and when you fix that your HBP will normalize.

For example, if a man had pneumonia and everyone focused on lowering his high temperature by giving him medication to bring his fever down, he’s going to eventually die from the untreated pneumonia.   Similarly, if you only take drugs to lower high blood pressure, then you’re only treating the symptom of a serious underlying problem.

So if high blood pressure doesn’t cause heart disease, but harmful drugs can actually increase your risk of having a heart attack and deteriorate your health – Why not help your body maintain normal blood pressure naturally, without doing harm?

HBP drugs chemically interfere with your body’s natural healing processes, and allow the root cause of heart disease to take hold and tighten its grip.

Often times you can chemically alter your blood pressure levels down to far, where it becomes “too low” and the doctor switches your prescription again. Next thing you know you’re on blood thinners and being told you can’t eat green vegetables like broccoli or spinach.

You may already know if you are taking medication many healthy foods are suddenly labeled “forbidden foods”. Ever wonder why?

Truth is these forbidden foods “naturally” do what the medication is claiming to do. If you eat healthy while taking some of these drugs you may amplify the effect of the medication.

You just have to ask yourself, “why not reduce the harmful drugs and simply eat more of what is naturally good for you instead?”

Dangerously High Blood Pressure

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

What is considered a dangerously high blood pressure? Is anything above normal considered to be dangerous or harmful? Does the treatment vary depending on how high it is? In this article, I’ll explain exactly the relationship between your reading and what you need to do now.

Normal BP

First of all, we need to recognise that normal blood pressure is around the 115/75 mark. Some people have an alternative definition of 120/80 which is quite similar.

180/110+

Hypertension of over 180/110 is considered severe. At this level, you could die within months or even weeks if you don’t get to a doctor straight away. It is likely that you already have some level of organ damage. This is what I consider to be dangerously high blood pressure.

You will immediately go onto drugs.

160-179/100-109

This is less serious but you are still at a vastly increased risk of heart attack and stroke. I highly recommend doing something quickly and seeing your doctor.

140-160/90-99

Many people with high blood pressure are within this range. Your doctor may try to put you onto drugs but there is no reason why you cannot simply try natural methods first. More and more doctors are now realising that such natural methods are even superior to drugs.

121-139/81-89

Although this is called “pre-hypertensive”, the fact remains that you could still be at double the risk of heart attack or stroke. Some doctors may even not treat you and just as you to monitor it. Frankly, this is terrible advice and I strongly recommend that if you are in this zone that you should use natural methods to get it back into the healthy range as soon as possible.

High Blood Pressure Causes – Knowing the Cause Can Unlock the Cure

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

What are the main high blood pressure causes? Over 70 million Americans have hypertension so perhaps by investigating what causes it we can then go about curing ourselves. In this article, I’ll start by investigating exactly what happens in the body and then show how this can indeed point us towards the obvious remedies.

It Starts In The Arteries

Your blood pressure is simply a measure of the pressure inside your arteries. Your arteries carry blood away from your heart and towards the organs so they are at quite a high pressure compared to veins (which carry blood back towards the heart after exiting the organs).

If you think of a hose pipe, if you squeeze it then the pressure goes up and water shoots out farther. The same thing can happen in your body – if your arteries narrow then the pressure will go up.

Why Do The Arteries Narrow?

There are many reasons why this might happen.

One of them is your mineral balance – between sodium and potassium. There are also other minerals that are not as important. Either way, what you eat has a large effect on your blood pressure. Also, your stress levels play a big part. The more stressed you are, the more stress chemicals you will have in your bloodstream, such as cortisol. If you are stressed regularly then you will also get hypertension due to this.

If you don’t exercise much then you cannot protect yourself as well against high b.p. Although the act of exercise will temporarily raise the pressure in your blood, it will also make your arterial walls more flexible and more likely to remain wide when you are at rest.

You know what causes blood pressure and how to cure it in general. So where do you start? Get an easy and exact, step by step plan that anyone can use to lower their blood pressure and forever eliminate your worries about dying early due to heart attack or stroke here: Blood Pressure Truth
