Ever since I read Medical Myths by Joel Kauffman, I have had trouble believing that treating Blood Pressure with one of 5 different chemicals did anything to address the cause of raised blood pressure. Blood pressure is raised by glycation of arterial proteins (Sugar-Damage) how does a pill other than maybe metformin address that?  Lo-Carb Hi-Fat LCHF will address that issue eventually but best not get glycated to start with!

The Independent.ie said today:-

At least 800,000 deaths may have been caused worldwide in the past decade by preventive drugs which are routinely given to patients undergoing surgery to reduce the risk of heart attacks, researchers said yesterday.

And the source of this story is here

“Even if only 10 per cent of doctors followed the guidelines, and that is a conservative estimate, 100 million patients would have been given beta blockers during surgery in the past decade. On the basis of our findings, that means 800,000 would have died prematurely and 500,000 would have suffered a stroke. If our findings are true, that is death on the scale of a world war.” Devereaux P J Associate Professor, Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics  Mc Master University

Beta blockers cost more lives than they save!
