Orthodox medical Doctors make 4 mistakes when it comes to
treating patients with high blood pressure. For that
matter, whether it's a cardiovascular problem like high
blood pressure or any disease related illness, these 4
mistakes always persist.
The 4 Mistakes That Orthodox Medical Doctors Make
1. The symptoms are the cause of illness. No! Symptoms are
only the manifestations of the root cause: Symptoms are
knock on effects or warning signs...
2. They pay no real attention to diet and exercise.
3. They practically ignore the mind/spirit connection and
its influences on health.
4. Very little or no consideration is given to water and
its pharmacological role.
How does the above fit into the orthodox medical approach
when it comes to treating high blood pressure? What are the
alternative naturopathic solutions and how well do they
work? These are very important questions, since the Journal
of the American Medical Association (Oct. 2002; 288:
1882-1888) reported that middle-aged or older people in the
USA have a 90% chance of developing high blood pressure.
First, lets consider how it could be for someone suffering
from high blood pressure. He/she may be overweight or
feeling worn out and sluggish, dehydrated, or not breathing
well... So the doctor prescribes the pills: Lotensin,
Mevacor, Cardizem, Procardia...etc, any of these to
normalize the blood pressure. As time goes by, months then
years, side effects manifest as a consequence of the pills.
-How? Well, without going into a long-winded harangue it
basically goes like this:
Remember the above 4 mistakes. Because pills only treat the
symptoms, the underlying root-cause is ignored and yes, it
still persists. Due to a history of bad diet or a lack of
exercise or stress, the inner walls of the patient's
arteries are lined with plaque. This results in a narrowing
of the arteries. What does orthodox medicine do? Instead of
getting to the root-cause by permanently unblocking the
arteries, the blood pressure lowering drugs reduce the
activity of the heart so that the blood pressure gage reads
normal.
-What are the consequences of this quick fix? Remember, the
heart is now less active, and because the walls of the
arteries are narrow and the blood pressure is normalized,
like any tube supplying liquid with a smaller lumen (the
space inside), the outflow is restricted. This means that
the blood supply from the heart to the target organs in the
body is restricted. Because the oxygen demands from the
target organs are not met due to this lack of blood supply,
a whole range of illnesses can result. On the long-term
this could include: a weaker heart, degeneration of other
organ tissue and lung congestion, which ultimately could
result in death.
Other reported side effects due to the above blood pressure
lowering drugs include headaches, dizzy spells, queasiness,
cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), low blood
pressure, sexual dysfunction, mood swings, depression,
memory loss and changes in personality...
Another orthodox medical approach is angioplasty, where an
operation is performed to unblock the arteries and allow
blood to flow more freely again. However, because it is
only a quick fix, treating the symptom, in many cases
re-occlusion (narrowing of the arteries through plaque
returning) occurs. Surgeons Oh Those Heralded Heroes! I'm
sure there was a time in your life when you were told
stories about surgeons and how great they were with their
life-saving operations... Here's the truth about heart
bypass surgery. The overall survival rate for patients
post-operation is no different than those who chose to do
nothing at all! (New England Journal of Medicine May 22,
1997 and American of Journal Cardiology June 1998). Notice
I took the trouble to reference 2 studies. There are many
others that document the same findings. Other studies show
that there is a 13% chance that these patients will die on
the operating table (Dr Tim O'Shea 2007). Well, what do you
expect? If you only treat the symptoms with temporary
house-cleaning methods the problem, plaque growth on the
inner walls of the arteries, will return. And as for those
with coronary bypass surgery, an unblocking of the arteries
that supply the heart with blood, what about all the other
arteries in their body? Why should they be any different?
Guess what condition these arteries will be in? What Are
The Alternatives? The first thing to realize is that in
order for a patient to be cured, the root-cause of the high
blood pressure needs to be addressed. The root-cause can be
addressed effectively by lowering high blood pressure
through natural approaches. -This indeed is in line with
effectively correcting the above 4 mistakes that doctors
make. Find out about these natural solutions that get to
the root-cause and very effectively lower high blood
pressure in my follow up article 'Lowering High Blood
Pressure The Natural Way.' -If you suffer from high blood
pressure this information might just save your life!
