Were Just Diagnosed With High Blood Pressure
.........................................................................................................................................................................
30 million Americans who woke perfectly healthy yesterday morning are now suddenly in need of expensive hypertension treatments after the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology decided to lower the definition of "high blood pressure" to 130/80 from the previous trigger of 140/90. According to Reuters, the change means that nearly 50% of American adults, or roughly 100 million people, now suffer from high blood pressure.
- Americans with blood pressure of 130/80 or higher should be treated, down from the previous trigger of 140/90, according to new guidelines announced on Monday by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology.

They did the same thing to Truckers a few years ago. I took a physical and I had high bloodpressure...I didn't used to and it was the SAME. They changed the rules. I had to take blood pressure medicine or I'd loose my job. The stuff isn't Cheap either and there are side effects.

Like DEATH. I had an allergic reaction to one of them. I swole up like a toad. Damn near died from not being able to breathe. I was carried to the hospital by an ambulance...the doctor said I was 'lucky'.
I wonder if the War on Drugs is engaging the wrong enemy?
What a crock!!! It seems to go down as the medical establishment's need for money goes up... I smell a correlation (or a collusion)!

if you've read the article and looked at the charts that's a reasonable assumption.
big pharma was having a little bit of trouble and needed a little bit of help.
luckily a government study saved the day.

Especially with Big Pharma, most of the people in the FDA are from there. Another one is Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever it is this week. They've inverted the scientific process- they begin with the outcome and work their way backwards looking for evidence to support it... If they can't find any, they just lie... got to keep the cash flow going!

This is everything but lucky. Just why... I know that they've done this in Europe too, with cholesterol and others, just to sell more pills. It's like boosting the medicine industry.

So you have no choice but to do as they say or risk loosing your health care?

Well, in my country, health care system is definitely broken. The free (payed by the state) hospitals and clinics are so low that you actually risk dying from trivial diseases, and the private ones are expensive and even so, overbooked if I can say so. So losing my health care, yeah, I can't say I've ever had one, but the saved my life once (which wouldn't have been in danger if the medical system was okay, but that's another story) :D

In this case I still don't think that the problem is with us, but more likely it's a governmental one... I guess this is the reason cryptocurrencies won't stop growing soon
