The Great Blood Pressure Scam, the Dangers of Blood Pressure Medications, and the Forgotten Research That Shows How to Restore Circulatory Health
Story at a Glance:
•Elevated blood pressure is the most common chronic disease, and as the decades go by more and more people are declared hypertensive.
•Remarkably, at least 25% of all hypertension diagnoses are due to inaccurate measurements, and there is still no known reason for why over 90% of people are hypertensive.
•Aggressively treating everyone’s blood pressure is justified under the belief it prevents cardiovascular disease. However, in most cases it has never been proven to reduce heart disease—rather it only leads to a small reduction in strokes (hence why these medications were rebranded to treat “cardiovascular disease”). Instead, we keep on putting more Americans on these medications (with the most recent 2025 update making 26.8 million low-risk Americans potential candidates for blood pressure medications).
•Many of the misunderstandings with heart disease arise from the fact that impaired circulation or damage to the blood vessels will cause blood pressure to go up and their correlation being misinterpreted to instead believe high blood pressure causes cardiovascular disease.
•A vast body forgotten Russian research corroborated what a few Western pioneers discovered by directly measured what happens to blood pressure when you change the thickness of the blood itself, and found the circulatory impairment comes first, that lowering blood pressure does nothing to correct it, and that several widely used blood pressure medications make it worse.
•In this article, I will discuss the actual causes of high blood pressure, the dangers of commonly used blood pressure medications, the safest pharmaceutical and natural ways to reduce blood pressure directly, and our preferred methods for treating the underlying causes of high blood pressure.....
