Blood Pressure Drugs CAUSING Heart Attacks?!

When it comes to heart health, your mainstream doc will suggest the usual suspects: exercise, diet, and risky medications.
I won’t deny that eating the right foods and being more active are good choices for your heart.
But you’ll never hear me endorse Big Pharma’s dangerous heart drugs. They’re linked to diabetes… muscle weakness… and even problems in the bedroom.
And according to a new study, they pack another deadly punch.
You see, researchers have recently discovered that popular blood pressure pills are actually causing HEART ATTACKS.
Here’s what you need to know.
In a recent study, scientist looked at the heart health and medications of more than 50,000 participants.
At the end, they found that folks who take dihydropyridines (AKA L-type calcium channel blockers) are at significant risk for heart attack.
Dihydropyridines – like amlodipine and nifedipine – work by blocking “L-type” calcium channels in your heart and body, which increases your risk of irregular heartbeats.
And those messed up heartbeats lead to heart attacks.
So, if you’re taking one of these drugs, it’s time to talk to your doc about getting off of it.
Let me show you how to take care of your heart the natural way.
Dr. Scott’s Blood Pressure Program:
- Exercise: Consistent good exercise is one of your best tools for keeping your blood pressure low.
- Vitamin C: There are scientists who speculate that high blood pressure is actually scurvy (extremely low vitamin C), because your blood vessels need vitamin C to be healthy.
- CoQ10: CoQ10 has been shown to lower inflammation, reduce blood clots, lower blood pressure and help prevent skipped beats (like arrhythmias: atrial fibrillation).
- Saunas: Studies have shown that using saunas regularly helps lower blood pressure.
