High Blood Pressure best treated without drugs.

[Guest guest]

According to Dr. Tom Cowan, many of the drugs in use to treat

hypertension have unfortunate side effects. Diuretics cause the loss of

valuable electrolytes (minerals), thereby predisposing the patient to

cardiac arrhythmia. Beta-blockers alter lipid levels and can worsen the

tendency to type-II diabetes, which can lead to the same adverse

outcome as elevated blood pressure. Similar problems have been found

with calcium channel blockers and even with the new ACE inhibitors.
