Big Pharma’s SLEAZIEST Blood Pressure ‘Myth’ Yet!
If you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure (BP), you probably remember that moment your BP reading first skirted above ‘normal’ …
And after that happened, you can bet the farm that your doctor insisted you start taking BP medication… IMMEDIATELY!
Because to them the answer is always DRUGS, DRUGS, and MORE DRUGS!
But if you’re one of the millions of Americans taking BP medication – and still getting high readings – you’ll want to see the findings from this shocking study.
Because once you do, you’re doing to demand a serious come-to-Jesus moment with your doctor about your ‘high’ BP!
Researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston (which just happens to be a Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital) found that many individuals with hypertension – aka high blood pressure – are taking medications that could RAISE their BP!
And we’re not talking a small handful of folks here…
The study noted that 1 in 5 people with high BP are taking drugs that increase it.
That’s 20%!
The drugs that are supposed to help… are doing the OPPOSITE.
It’s irresponsible… misleading… and SLEAZY!
But you don’t need to be a victim to this Big Pharma ‘myth.’
If this study alarms you, it’s time to have a serious, no-nonsense conversation with your doctor about your BP medication.
And it’s also time to discuss natural alternatives to lowering your BP.
Studies have found that simple changes in your diet and overall physical activity can go a long way without the help of prescription drugs.
If your doctor is unwilling to consider a ‘non-drug’ treatment option, perhaps it’s time to get a second opinion!
In the meantime, upping your intake of lycopene is a great way to lower your numbers … naturally.
