The Great High Blood Pressure Treatment Scam

What was considered a few decades ago to be normal, 120/80, is now deemed as high blood pressure! (See above picture). In other words, the treatment criteria has changed. The figure for high blood pressure treatment has been lowered

That means, in many cases, the targeting for people having so-called high blood pressure has been increased. It falsely justifies the use of more blood pressure lowering drugs. How convenient is this for Big Pharma, as they stand to make even more profits on blood pressure lowering drugs??

The CDC’s recommendation is based on only one highly influential research journal. It has hugely influenced the medical profession. Read well over a million times it could be called a veritable blockbuster article!

This carefully chosen article is not the organic sound advice you may it expect it to be. The fact that it has been peer-reviewed without identifying the reviewers makes it most suspicious.

This CDC article is entitled “About High Blood Pressure.” Dated 28th of January 2026, it can be found online and downloaded.

Conflicts of interest

A number of articles have strongly suggested that conflicts of interest underlie biased reporting.

In other words, doctors look to certain articles as advice, but may be unaware that these publications could be sponsored by Big Pharma corporations, used to produce an outcome to recommend their drugs as treatment protocols.

So-called reasons for hypertension

The fact that the above mentioned blood pressure article has only one reference makes it suspicious in this way. It has been said by some doctors that the lengthy article has been padded with fluff. It describes the so-called reasons for hypertension.

It claims that one of the reasons for hypertension is high salt (sodium chloride) intake. However, according to the likes of Daniel Roytas, in his book “Can You Catch a Cold?”, he explains that:

“Sodium chloride (table salt) increases blood pressure in humans and animals. But this in effect is curiously absent when people consume other sodium containing compounds like sodium bicarbonate, sodium ascorbate, sodium citrate or sodium amino acid chelate.”

-This above-mentioned highly influential research journal completely leaves out any problematic issues.

Other dietary factors in the research journal are also highly questionable: It claims that lower potassium, magnesium and calcium intakes are causes of high blood pressure. But it fails to mention that these dietary factors are confounding variables. 

Less plant-based foods in the diet as an explanation for high blood pressure cannot be claimed, as these are also confounding variables.

In other words, each dietary factor has never been isolated and proven to have a direct cause and effect…

In terms of non-dietary factors, we are told that high blood pressure is due to obesity, less physical activity, sleep disturbances in relation to “quality, regularity, duration, and/or disordered breathing, psychosocial stressors and air pollution…” 

–While this seems plausible, however, all these factors significantly affect health in general. Why hone in on only one variable, high blood pressure, calling this vast list an explanation for a one and only disease, hypertension??

Its authors further describe other causes of hypertension: It states that hypertension could be due to the non-dietary factor “genetic variants.” It describes how less than 10% of genetic variants could be the cause… This is completely vague. It is unfounded nonsense devoid of objective evidence:

It offers no explanation to the cause of the disease. The less than 10% doesn’t add up when considering around half the world’s population could now be diagnosed with high blood pressure due to Big Pharma’s lowering of the figures as treatment criteria!

Don’t get it wrong. It’s not that these effects on blood pressure are meaningless. The focus on high blood pressure should be manly focussed on identifying the general factors that can be used to reverse it. Not enough attention is given this.

The Big Pharma trained doctors only generally take blood pressure sphygmomanometer readings. If the readings qualify within the treatment criteria, then they will prescribe high blood pressure lowering drugs. Very little attention is given diet and lifestyle.

These days, if over120/80, then millions of people will have the “hypertension” label. -Medication is only a matter of time…

Medications

Big Pharma doesn’t want to pay too much attention (or no attention at all) to the above-mentioned diet and lifestyle factors and making the appropriate necessary changes. After all, no drug money to be made here.

Evidence has shown that when it comes to lowering high blood pressure to prevent adverse events such as heart attacks or strokes, there’s a problem.

Eye opening research has shown how ineffective anti-hypertensive drugs can be. A 5-year study reveals that on average, for every 125 patients treated with anti-hypertension medication drugs, only 1 death was prevented. For every 100 patients, only 1 heart attack was prevented. Further, for 67 people treated of this 5-year time period, only 1 was prevented from having stroke.

-These startling findings were discovered and published in an independent review in 2020, entitled “5 Approved drugs that Don’t Measure Up,” overseen by Naveed Saleh MD, MS, for MDLinx.   

There are other similar studies like it, essentially having the same findings.

The same can be said about other patients who have high blood pressure, but not high enough to be on the critical list. Again this was based on a 5-year follow-up.

It was reported that in both critically and moderately high blood pressure circumstances 1 in 12 people, on average, experienced adverse side-effects from the anti-hypertensive drugs.

Truly unbelievable!
