Product Description
Blood pressure drugs guarantee you will get worse, for they actually deplete the nutrients that cause high blood pressure, making sure you will need even more medications. They also shrink the brain and raise your risk of heart attack, senility and blindness. High blood pressure is not a deficiency of blood pressure-lowering drugs. But there are dozens of ways you can permanently cure your high blood pressure without drugs.
And since healthy blood vessels determine the longevity of every organ in the entire body, you need this book even if you dont have high blood pressure, for vascular health is key to total body health and longevity. First of all every single cell of your body depends on the health of your blood vessels that supply them. If you dont want to get Alzheimers, then you need a healthy brain, but it is only as healthy as its blood supply. Likewise, if you dont want cancer (or you are trying to heal it), it starts (and spreads) in areas of poor circulation.
The High Blood Pressure Hoax will show you that for every ailment even one as simple as high blood pressure, there are multiple causes and multiple cures. You have a lot to choose from. In fact, I would suggest you read the entire book before you chose your program. For by understanding how the various causes work, you (who know your body and medical history better than anyone else) have the optimum opportunity for choosing the best solution for you.
This is the ultimate plan for vascular health, but it doesnt stop there. It also continues on from where Detoxify or Die left off and takes you to more powerful levels of detoxification. I cant wait to empower you! So lets get started. |

Root causes exposed 
This book is an EXCELLENT resource. The pharmaceutical companies have our physicians using "cookbook medicine". The true culprit, however, is our lazy population that will not take time to learn how to avoid severe illnesses. As a medical professional, I read the only 1 star review and saw that the person not only had the wrong gender for the author, but must have read only the intro and jumped to conclusions. Dr. Sherry Rogers is brilliant, yet has clear explanations and is sincere in her desire to help others. I have read most of her books, and use them with my patients and friends.

The BPM hoax personified
To personify the hoax, if indeed there is one, is to see how the facts presented apply to one's own situation. As Dr. Rogers alludes, this entails boning up on current studies, anatomical facts, one's personal health history, and a critical analysis of one's lifestyle. The first two areas mentioned are critical to making crucial decisions regarding meds, and of not just their benefits, but their potential bad effects.
The usual scenario as one advances past middle age is a doctors visit where these words are spoken (after several sets of b/p readings are taken), "Uh, since you are moderately hypertensive, I'm going to start you on these medications ... " A better approach might be to limit fats, exercise, and lose ten pounds. Then, when your readings drop some but are still above currently proposed limits, you might want to consider a low dosage regime, while working to further improve your lifestyle.
But why the hoax? According to fairly recent statistics from the American Heart Association, in 2002, 65 million Americans have high blood pressure, although these numbers are difficult to come by, since many with hypertension have not been diagnosed, and some being treated should NOT be. Normal blood pressure was most recently defined in 2003 by a national advisory committee to the United States Department of Health and Human Services as systolic pressure of 120 mm/Hg or greater, and/or a diastolic pressure of 80 mm/Hg or greater.
However, it has been reported that since "normals" for seniors have been revised downward by this study, profits for the pharmaceutical companies have soared. Dr. Rogers feels that these numbers have been set too low, and I agree. They are a significant drop from what was once considered normal. The true target values are probably somewhere in between.
By reading this book, you will become more informed of the causes of hypertension, some of which occur naturally due to normal aging, and the risks and pitfalls attached to jumping on the hypertensive medication bandwagon. I strongly feel it will be well worth the effort.
For another thoughtful review, Google "all thumbs" and "blood pressure hoax"

Utter rubbish 
The guy who wrote this book is seriously deranged, trotting out a mixture of fallacies, speculation and the same tired old myths. Books like this produce such a sense of depression and futility in me that I can hardly bear to write any more, but... OK, just two things out of the introduction: (1) he says that BP drugs "deplete the nutrients which cause high blood pressure"... erm, that sounds like a good idea to me... and (2) the bit about cancer starting in areas of poor circulation - I mean, where do people like this GET these ideas? Nothing could be further from the truth. Not only do cancers tend to start in areas of very HIGH blood circulation (lungs, liver, stomach etc), the tumour has such a need for oxygen and the nutrients carried by blood that it actually turns on the body's process of angiogenesis, which causes EXTRA blood vessels to grow to feed the tumour! If tumours "hate oxygen", as you can read in a thousand quack websites, this would be suicide for them. Like most people, I'm against censorship, but books like this do sometimes make me wonder.

The High Blood Pressure Hoax
The High Blood Pressure Hoax is an excellent informative book that will enlighten the layperson about blood pressure and how to prevent hypertension. Dr Rogers explains everything in laymans terms and gives you an easy plan to follow. After all high blood pressure and many ailments aren't a lack of drugs but a lack of nutrients!!

Not for the Average Guy 
My doc suggested I read this to better understand nutrition and its impact on health. He beleves that doctors are more inclined to treat symptoms rather than underlying causes and that this shortcoming in medical education and practive is changing quickly. But not quickly enough. If you have an MD degree, you could breeze thru this book. But for the average guy its like trying to read something written by an alien. Even if you glean a good idea, you'll have a lot of trouble putting it into practice as the foods and supplements suggested are difficult to locate.
