[Warning] The Billion-Dollar Drugs Stopping Hearts

Imagine a class of drugs so worthless they can’t beat a placebo.

They can kill your sex life…

Make you gain weight…

Even have you contemplating suicide.

Now, they’ve been linked to a fatal heart condition that can kill you in minutes.

You’d think these meds would have been pulled off the market years ago.

Or that doctors would simply refuse to prescribe them anymore.

But welcome to American medicine, friends…

Because absolutely NONE of that has happened.

In fact, there’s a very good chance that you or your loved ones are on these truly terrible drugs right now.

And this newest warning is one you can’t afford to ignore.

Sudden cardiac death is exactly what it sounds like.

It’s a rapid loss of heart function that can leave you unconscious in seconds… and dead in minutes.

If you’ve ever seen someone go this way, it will scar you for life. And it always leaves family and loved ones with the same question:

How did this happen?

Well, we may have just gotten a little closer to the truth.

A new study published by the official journal of the Heart Rhythm Society has shown that long-term antidepressant use sends your risk of sudden cardiac death through the roof.

Now, I have to admit… MY heart nearly stopped when I saw that they published this.

The Heart Rhythm Society is a pretty mainstream health group. And a lot of these organizations would rather cut out their own tongues than speak ill of Big Pharma.

But in this case, the science was too convincing to ignore.

Researchers looked at the health records of 4.3 million people from Denmark.

They found that people taking antidepressants for six or more years had a 74% higher risk of sudden cardiac death.

Even patients who’d only taken them for 1-5 years had a 41% higher risk of sudden cardiac death.

The more recently you took these drugs, the higher your risk. And the risk persisted across different types of antidepressants, too – it wasn’t limited to just one class.

This is truly terrifying stuff…

I’ve been screaming for YEARS that we have NO IDEA whether these drugs are safe long-term. Yet doctors don’t bat an eye at leaving a patient on antidepressants for 10 years… 20 years… or longer.

That is TOTAL INSANITY.

It’s especially egregious when you consider what we DO know about antidepressants – they don’t really work very well.

Research 15 years ago showed that antidepressants can’t beat a simple placebo in clinical trials.

Another study published in PLOS Medicine looked at the data for published and unpublished trials on antidepressants and found that “the benefit falls below accepted criteria for clinical significance.”

No clinically significant benefit. Failed to outperform placebos.

Yet nearly one out of every seven American adults is on these drugs.

It makes ZERO sense. These drugs are so potentially dangerous, doctors should be dripping sweat on their prescription pads every time they prescribe one.

But that doesn’t seem to be happening… so it’s up to you to protect yourself.

If you’re taking an antidepressant, never quit cold turkey. They actually deliver some of their WORST side effects if you stop suddenly.

Instead, talk to your doctor about whether you can taper off the drugs and try something else.

The simple herb saffron has been shown in research to be an effective alternative to antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). And it will only run you about a buck a day.

Same deal with S-adenosylmethionine, better known as SAMe. It’s incredibly effective, doesn’t come with the side effects of traditional antidepressants, and is very affordable.

Focus on eating well and getting more exercise, too, as both have been shown to improve depression symptoms.
