Chiropractic and Blood Pressure
Last year, the medical community credited the chiropractic adjustment as an effective way to decrease blood pressure.
It was even reported here on the WebMD site!
If you or anyone you care about is taking a daily medication to control hypertension (high blood pressure), PLEASE consider a drug-free approach, instead, to manage this problem. Consider these conservative, safe methods: chiropractic, yoga, biofeedback, meditation, increased hydration, nutritional supplements, improved diet and of course, exercise.
There are many possibilities out there. Effective alternatives that don't have any bad side-effects.
Hypertension medications, on the other hand, often lead to an adverse reaction like:
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Constipation
- Dehydration
- Digestive disorders
- Depression
It is very easy for a medical doctor to prescribe a pill instead of devising and implementing a natural, drug-free comprehensive plan with their patients to lower blood pressure. (or lower blood glucose, cholesterol, etc.) A plan requires time-- time to teach, commit and follow-up. It's so much faster and easier for an M.D. to phone in a prescription and let the drug do the work.
Because treatment with medication is so simple and easy (for both doctor and patient) hypertension drug sales exceed 12 BILLION dollars every year in the United States.
Yup, that's billion with a "B."
Aren't you amazed, like me, that whether we're talking about pharmaceuticals, fast food or even music, movies and books, the most popular choices-- the choices out there that seems to bring in the most money...
are very rarely the BEST option?
