The problem with blood pressure medications is that they do not correct the underlying issue of the problem. Imagine you have a car with a 6-cylinder engine that is running very rough. You find out that two of your six cylinders have the problem, so you remove them or otherwise shut them down.
Now your car runs smoothly, but it’s having to put out a lot more effort to get up to speed. You should have cleaned all of the cylinders, flushed out the engine, and changed the oil like an automotive detox. Instead, you cut out two of the cylinders completely, and now four are doing the work of six. And because the car was not meant to do this, your gas mileage is terrible, and more problems will develop soon. How long do you think this engine is going to last?
In order to get off of high blood pressure medications, it helps to understand the cause of high blood pressure.

High blood pressure is almost always caused by thick, toxic blood. Consider that engine analogy and think of our blood like the car’s motor oil and it’s gasoline. The cleaner the blood, the easier it is for the heart to pump it through the body. Chronic high blood pressure is a result of the heart working harder to push the blood where it needs to go.
Restricting the heart doesn’t seem like the smartest thing to do, does it?
Smoking, a toxic liver, unhealthy kidneys, Candida, and an unbalanced PH level all contribute to toxic, thick blood.
