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.

Scare tactics by Lois C. Hardy 2 Stars
March 11, 2009
I do not respond well to what I call "scare tactics", i.e. "take **** or die". The book seemed to be more about pushing products than a scientific review of causes and possible solutions for those suffering from hypertension.

The High Blood Pressure Hoax by T. Ezell (Houston, TX) 5 Stars
November 22, 2008
I highly recommend this book. It contains truly life changing, and possibly life saving information. I wish I could buy a case and hand them out to friends and family. I have given several as gifts. Dr Rogers has several other books that are also well worth reading. Teresa

Root causes exposed by Marianne M. Johnson 5 Stars
June 05, 2008
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 by Lee Bowman 5 Stars
May 06, 2008
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 by Hogweed 1 Stars
January 24, 2008
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 Cholesterol Hoax

Cholesterol is not the biggest cause of heart disease nor is it predictive of heart disease. In fact, over half the folks who die of a heart attack never had high cholesterol. But they did have other warnings that could have saved their lives, had they been checked. And the cure for these is spelled out here via safe non-prescription nutrients. Cholesterol is merely the messenger, the smoke detector, alerting you to a curable problem. Why shoot the messenger with a drug when you can find the...

IS YOUR CARDIOLOGIST KILLING YOU Happy BodiesĀ® is pleased to offer IS YOUR CARDIOLOGIST KILLING YOU by Dr. Sherry Rogers. Medicine has had a free ride by drugging every symptom for long enough. The evidence is clear that drugs merely work by poisoning a pathway that makes the symptoms subside. However, in doing so you have missed a golden opportunity to actually cure the problem. So eventually the problem worsens and requires more medications. As well, all drugs use up or deplete nutrients...
