Whether it’s promoting hypertension meds like Plavix, aspirin, or a host of others, pharmaceutical advertising is pushing us ever closer to a lifetime of drug use.
Catch phrases like, “You’re no match for a deadly blood clot” and “Hypertension runs in your family” are used to lasso us into asking our doctor if the drugs are right for us.
But are they? What if I told you that there was a natural $8 alternative sitting on the shelf of your local grocery store that could replace all of them?
Blood clots and hypertension are scary and attack without warning. They are the result of a chemical cascade by which blood is instantly converted from a liquid to a solid. In areas of damage or inflammation, this gives rise to a scaffolding-like structure that halts blood flow.
The intricate process is mandatory for healing. Like Glen Canyon Dam holds in the waters of Lake Powell, blood clotting is essential for keeping our blood where it belongs—within the 100,000 miles of veins, arteries, and capillaries.
But if a clot occurs within narrowed, inflamed arteries that have become victimized by “high blood pressure,” it becomes a death sentence. Blood changes from free flowing and viscous to solid and suffocating. Rogue clots, usually capable of passing through a healthy artery, become trapped and arrest blood flow.
If an artery is blocked in the heart, a heart attack is the result. And if a blockage occurs in the brain, a stroke is the result.
Physicians use an arsenal of drugs to prevent this from happening. But the medicines are often more risky than the rogue blood clots because they can thin blood so much that it begins to “leak out” and users suffer from internal bleeding.
Fortunately, there is an $8 alternative that stops clotting and works to open the arteries to allow for proper blood flow and controlled blood pressure. Look for it as “hawthorn” on your next trip to the grocery store.
Hawthorn – an herb that’s been used for thousands of years and can be found as a nutritional supplement – has proven to be a safe and effective method for keeping your blood, heart, and arteries in tip-top health.
Hawthorn destroys potentially deadly blood clots on contact. It works by preventing excess platelets from building up in the arteries while releasing tension from the arterial walls.
According to study results published in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, Hawthorn can be used successfully to treat heart failure, hypertension, angina, and cardiac arrhythmias, while ensuring that blood continues to flow freely. And most exciting, users can rest easy knowing that they won’t suffer from any of the nasty side effects of prescription drugs.
