High Blood Pressure Treatment
You may not need them!
Twenty percent of people aged between 15 and 65 are said to suffer from high blood pressure, in most industrialised countries. That's one in every five people you pass at the supermarket!
The treatment for most of these people will be drugs - at least those of them who know they have high blood pressure. They have been told that the drug treatment is necessary. They may even have been told that these drugs are for life.
Up to half these people will be suffering from drug side-effects, according to studies. About ten percent will have to stop their drugs because of the severity of the adverse effects.
For some of these people the drugs are necessary. Yet the shocking fact is that for the majority of them they are unnecessary.
How could this be? In Dr Lovell-Smith's book you will find out how:
- Some of these people have been misdiagnosed.
- Some no longer have hypertension.
- They could all be using other methods to help bring their blood pressure down just as effectively.
You will learn about the five major problems with drug therapy:
- Drugs do not get to the root of the problem.
- Drugs have side effects. Some have caused deaths.
- Drugs are expensive. They are not as cost-effective as other methods.
- Drugs are heavily promoted. Promotion can be misleading. It can skew the sober judgement of those doing the prescribing.
- People hate taking drugs. Compliance is notoriously low and wastage very high.
Is it possible to escape from the culture that gives us drugs? This book tells you how.
