EXPOSED: The Great Blood Pressure Scam

Doctors have it backwards!

High blood pressure is a SYMPTOM, not a cause of arterial damage.

There’s no evidence that aggressively lowering BP actually saves lives.

Meanwhile, BP meds have a lot of nasty side effects, including falls, kidney failure, sexual dysfunction… and even death.

Keep reading as I unpack @MidwesternDoc’s truthful insights on blood pressure and the data that shatters the narrative.

🧵 THREADImage
Every day, more people are slapped with a hypertension diagnosis—the most common form of chronic disease.

But @MidwesternDoc has compiled data that obliterates the mainstream narrative—and everything we thought we knew about blood pressure.

midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-bl…
It turns out, 25% of hypertension diagnoses are flat-out wrong.

Bad measurements.

Wrong cuff sizes.

Stress at the doctor’s office—or “white coat hypertension.”

Minor things causing big problems. With millions of people being labeled “sick” when they’re not.

And being put on drugs they don’t need.Image
@MidwesternDoc And it gets worse…

90–95% of all high blood pressure cases are labeled “essential” hypertension.

That’s a fancy (and misleading) way of saying: We don’t know what’s causing it.

So they put you on meds to lower your BP without ever identifying and treating the root cause. Image
@MidwesternDoc To make matters worse, there’s no solid evidence that aggressively lowering blood pressure prevents heart attacks or even extends your life.

In fact, the benefits are so small, they’re barely measurable.

But the side effects? Those are very real. Image
@MidwesternDoc Blood pressure meds increase the risk of:

• Falls and fractures
• Fainting
• Kidney damage
• Vision loss
• Sexual dysfunction
• Chronic fatigue
• Stroke
• And yes… even death

This isn’t healing. This is harm. Image
Before even considering taking drugs, perhaps we should have a better understanding of why blood pressure even goes up in the first place.

When circulation is impaired, blood can’t get where it needs to go.

Your body basically starts working harder to survive.

It’s not a malfunction. Your body is adapting. It’s keeping you alive.

High BP isn’t the cause. It’s the effect.Image
Instead of listening to the signal and getting to the bottom of what is causing poor blood flow, we cover it with a bandaid.

We drug the signal.
We call it “hypertension.”
We act like the blood pressure itself is the problem.

That’s like covering a smoke alarm with a pillow while not putting out the fire.

Or sticking your fingers in your ear when someone is telling you something you need to know.Image
@MidwesternDoc Here's what they don’t tell you:

Hardening of the arteries, sludged blood, and vessel damage all increase pressure in the system.

The body fights back by raising blood pressure to keep organs alive.

Cutting BP too low can actually make things worse. Image

One of the most overlooked factors is zeta potential—an almost completely unknown concept.

Zeta potential is the electrical charge that keeps your blood flowing freely.

When it drops, blood starts clumping—causing blockages, inflammation, and pressure spikes.

Our bodies depend upon the constant circulation of fluids—so clumping can be a big problem.Image
@MidwesternDoc So, what lowers your zeta potential?

• Aluminum (in food, medications, and vaccines)
• Spike protein
• Poor sleep
• Chronic inflammation
• Lack of movement
• Processed salt
• Dehydration
• Aging kidneys

All things we can address fairly easily. Image
@MidwesternDoc And here’s the kicker:

Some of the worst blood clumping has been observed in patients with high BP—but the root problem isn’t pressure…

It’s sludge in the blood.

Fix the flow, and the pressure often corrects itself. Image
Scientists figured this out a century ago.

It was concluded that “blood sludging” was the root cause of many illnesses.

But instead of addressing it, Big Pharma pushed meds that mask the symptoms—and created new problems, of course.

Who wants to bet some of those new problems led to being prescribed even more drugs?Image
@MidwesternDoc @MidwesternDoc's full report on blood pressure is essential reading. Check it out before your next doctor visit.
midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-bl…
A massive, decade-long study of 17,000 people in the UK found that blood pressure meds barely reduced heart attacks and didn’t lower overall death rates.

And a 2009 Cochrane review showed almost zero benefit for lowering BP below 140.

Just more side effects. And lifelong customers.Image
@MidwesternDoc So, why the push?

Why tell the public that high blood pressure is deadly—even when the data says otherwise?

Because BP is easy to measure.
Because drugs are easy to sell.
And because fear is a great marketing tool.

Sound familiar? Image
And just like statins, they kept lowering the “normal” threshold…

So more people would qualify as sick.
More people would be scared.
And more people would need a prescription—for life.

That’s not an over exaggeration. Roughly 60 million American adults are on BP lowering drugs.

It’s a business model. Not medicine.Image
@MidwesternDoc What happens when you give these drugs to the elderly?

Falls skyrocket.
Confusion sets in.
Kidney failure becomes common.
Vision fades.

One study found a 131% increased risk of serious falls from BP meds alone. 😳 Image
@MidwesternDoc And when blood pressure drops too low, it becomes dangerous.

That’s why ICU doctors panic when BP hits 90/60 or lower—organs start dying from lack of blood.

And yet we’re handing out blood pressure meds like candy. Image

@MidwesternDoc Meanwhile, simple, powerful, free fixes get ignored or even criticized:

• Walk daily
• Get sunlight
• Sleep well
• Hydrate properly
• Use real salt
• Manage anxiety
• Try earthing or grounding
• Eat clean, mineral-rich foods

No profit in that. Just good health. Image
@MidwesternDoc The truth is…
Most people don’t have a blood pressure problem.

Some have a circulation problem.
Others have a lifestyle problem.
And almost all of them seek help from a “health care” system that refuses to look at root causes.

And that’s by design. Image
@MidwesternDoc We’ve been sold a lie.

High blood pressure is not the disease.
It’s a signal—your body’s call for help.

The real scandal isn’t that millions are medicated.
It’s that the root causes are never even addressed. Image
@MidwesternDoc If you’ve been told you need BP meds for life…

Ask questions.
Get multiple readings.
Check both arms.
Look deeper.
Get a second opinion.

Because treating the number without treating the cause…
Could be your biggest mistake. Image
@MidwesternDoc High blood pressure isn’t the disease.
It’s the signal.
It’s your body screaming for help.

Don’t just mute the alarm.
Find the fire.

Listen to your body. Image

REPORT: The NIH is now funding research into ivermectin as a cancer treatment.

Yes, the same drug they mocked as “horse paste” is now being seriously studied—for its ability to kill cancer cells.

On February 10, the NIH confirmed it’s funding preclinical trials on ivermectin’s anti-cancer properties. Dr. Anthony Letai, head of the National Cancer Institute, said there’s “enough interest” and “enough reports” to take it seriously. Studies are already underway, with results expected in just a few months.

This follows 2024 and 2025 reviews by U.S. scientists showing signs that ivermectin can inhibit tumors. The NIH is now backing that research, pointing to ivermectin’s Nobel Prize-winning legacy and its decades of safe, FDA-approved use in humans.

But instead of welcoming a promising, low-cost treatment, the media doubled down. Outlets like MedPage Today rushed to dismiss the story as “right-wing hype,” ignoring the science and smearing anyone who dared to ask questions.

Why attack a drug that could save lives—unless the real threat is to their bottom line?

If ivermectin works, it won’t just save lives. It’ll shatter the system built to suppress it.

In other news, Republicans and Democrats are backing a bill that opens the door to mandatory Digital ID for every American.

It’s called the “Kids Off Social Media Act.” But it doesn’t just target kids. It targets you.

The bill bans anyone under 13 from having a social media account. Sounds reasonable—until you realize enforcement means scanning your face, checking your ID, or tracking your device… just to prove you’re old enough to speak online.

The bill doesn’t have to say “Digital ID.” The logic demands it. And once those systems are in place, they won’t stop at children. They’ll be used to control what you can say, see, and share.

Multiple states have already declared these laws unconstitutional. So why are Republicans still pushing them?

This is exactly how it started in the UK. Today, people are getting arrested for memes.

Watch @zeeemedia's report before they normalize this—and your freedom to speak anonymously disappears forever.

Polio didn’t disappear the way you think it did.

Google why we no longer see crippled kids from polio. You’ll get one answer: vaccines.

But Dr. Suzanne Humphries says that’s not what the facts show—and when you dig into the history, the real story is jaw-dropping.

First off, polio never actually disappeared. “Polio is still here. Polio is still alive and well,” Humphries says.

What changed? The definition. Once the vaccine was introduced, the medical establishment redefined what counted as “polio.”

Humphries explains: “Polio is called different things today. Whereas back in the 1940s, 1950s, the criteria for diagnosing polio were completely different to the year that the vaccine was introduced. The playing field, the goalposts—everything was changed… they were able to show a complete cascading drop of paralytic polio simply because of the way they changed the definitions of what polio is and what could cause it.”

Suddenly, cases that would’ve been labeled polio were now called Guillain-Barré syndrome, coxsackievirus, echovirus—or simply chalked up to heavy metal poisoning. “They didn’t have virus, or they had coxsackievirus or echovirus, or they were lead poisoned or mercury poisoned, which was—the mercury and lead were the leading treatments of the day,” she said.

But it gets worse.

The rise of polio, she says, directly mirrored the use of toxic pesticides like DDT. “The tonnage of production of DDT absolutely mirrored the diagnosis for polio.” And even today, “the countries that still make DDT today is where we’re still seeing this paralytic polio situation happen.”

So what about the virus?

Polio virus, according to Humphries, is what’s known as a commensal—a normal virus that lives in most people without causing problems. In fact, “95 to 99% of all polio is asymptomatic.” She described a study of the Javante Indians where “98 to 99% of every person they tested… had evidence of immunity to all three strains of polio.”

When asked where all the paralyzed children were, she recalled: “They were like, ‘We don’t have any of that problem.’”

Humphries also points to a 1916 Rockefeller lab in Manhattan that, in her words, had “the specific stated goal… to try to create the most pathological, neuropathological strain of polio possible.” By injecting monkey brains and human spinal serum into monkeys, “there was a big problem with that, which was released into the public by accident. And the world experienced the worst polio epidemic on record. 25% mortality.”

Bottom line? According to Dr. Humphries, polio didn’t disappear because of vaccines. It disappeared behind a curtain of redefinitions, misdiagnoses, manmade disasters—and a whole lot of propaganda.

And if they went that far to deceive you about the polio vaccine, what else are they lying about? 🧵
Did you know the original smallpox vaccine caused serious injuries—and was often contaminated with pus, bacteria, and fungus?

We’ve been told it saved humanity from a deadly disease, but what if that’s a lie?

Dr. Suzanne Humphries explained to Joe Rogan what happened to children who received the vaccine. They developed large ulcers, high fevers, and widespread infections. With no antibiotics available, treatments were limited to mercury, arsenic, bloodletting, or isolation in dark rooms.

These severe reactions weren’t considered rare. In fact, they were referred to as “a good take.”

What made matters worse was how the vaccine was produced. According to Dr. Humphries, it was made by infecting animals and harvesting the resulting pus.

“They would take pus from other animals, scratch it into the belly of a cow, then take the pus off of the big pimples that would form,” she said. The material—called “pure lymph”—often came from cadavers, horses, or ulcerating cow udders, mixed with glycerin, and scratched into the surface of the skin.

Even decades later, contamination was an issue. “There was more bacteria and fungus in the smallpox vaccines than there was smallpox virus.” One widely used version, Dryvax, was eventually considered so problematic that health authorities ordered all remaining specimens destroyed around 2009.

Living conditions at the time were “a disaster.” Streets were filled with human and animal waste, there was no running water, and sanitation was nearly nonexistent. Poor hygiene and co-infections absolutely made smallpox far more deadly than it might have been otherwise.

Despite all this, the smallpox vaccine is still presented as a flawless triumph.

But for those who experienced the injuries firsthand, and for those who study its full history, the story isn’t so simple.

“This is the one vaccine that eliminated, eradicated a disease,” Dr. Humphries said sarcastically. “Can you believe that fairytale?”
We’ve all been taught that the smallpox vaccine was one of medicine’s greatest triumphs.

But when you read the actual clinical observations recorded by doctors who lived through its rollout, a far more unsettling picture emerges.

It’s not propaganda, and it’s not hindsight. It’s primary-source medicine.

And much of it was quietly buried.Image

There’s a reason doctors love pushing vaccines. The more they inject, the more money they make.

The foot traffic alone brings in big money, but there’s another perverse incentive, and once you hear it, it will make you angry.

RFK Jr. explains: “Pediatricians who vaccinate 80-85% of the kids in their office, get these giant bonuses... And that's why they throw you out of the office if you fight back…You'll lose them their bonuses.”

Sadly, these perverse financial incentives aren’t limited to vaccines but across many areas of medicine.

Dig a little deeper, and another disturbing pattern appears. Once you see it, you’re left gobsmacked by just how far the corruption runs beyond money. 🧵
The video below is haunting—not because the doctor in it is malicious, but because she genuinely believes she’s helping.

She’s an MD with a Master’s in Public Health, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and a former leader at Georgetown. Her language is warm. Her intentions seem pure.

Yet this interview perfectly captures how public health has lost its way.

After conquering most deadly contagious diseases, it turned toward chronic illness—and failed.

Instead of questioning why children are getting sicker, it doubled down on vaccinating more, earlier, and without dissent, often dismissing safety concerns as heresy.

Watch this video. Then ask yourself what matters more in modern medicine: children’s outcomes—or institutional certainty.

A lawsuit filed several years ago exposed something far more disturbing than a single act of medical misconduct.

It revealed how, during COVID, core medical ethics quietly collapsed—how consent became optional, coercion was reframed as care, and vulnerable people were treated as obstacles rather than patients.

This isn’t about ideology. It’s about what happens when fear, authority, and institutional pressure override conscience.Image

The real cause of heart disease has been buried for decades in favor of the lie about cholesterol.

40 million Americans take statins to lower their cholesterol, thinking it’s the best way to protect their hearts.

But what doctors never tell them is that statins interfere with the body’s natural repair system, weakening the very cells that rely on cholesterol to function.

In trying to prevent disease, they’re paradoxically fueling it.

This report exposes what really happens to the body when you take a statin every day.

For years, doctors have been taught that high cholesterol causes heart attacks. They’ve passed the warning along to their patients, and most of us have believed them.

But that idea came from one man: Ancel Keys.

Keys cherry-picked data to make fat and cholesterol look deadly while ignoring the real culprit: sugar.

John Yudkin tried to warn the world that sugar—not fat—was driving heart disease. But no one listened. He was ridiculed, silenced, and erased from history.Image

This drug reversed a condition that usually ends with a ventilator and a body bag.

Three patients were on the brink of death from total lung failure.

Then they were given intravenous DMSO—and something incredible happened.

Days later, they were breathing freely. One even had completely normal lungs within just a week.

You’ve probably never heard of DMSO—and that’s by design.

Once you see what it can do, you’ll understand why it had to be buried.

DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) use exploded in the 1960s as a medical breakthrough.

There were thousands of studies.
There was massive public demand.
And there were miracle recoveries.

But the FDA dropped the hammer—and the pharmaceutical industry buried DMSO.

Why?

Because it worked.Image

In 2015, Scott Adams made a “crazy” prediction that most people thought was impossible.

He said Trump had a 98% chance of becoming president, and he made that call on a single observation.

The winning attribute that made Scott confident in Trump’s victory was his one-of-a-kind persuasion skills.

While political betting markets dismissed Trump’s chances, Adams argued—using his background in persuasion and hypnosis—that Trump was the most psychologically effective candidate in the race and therefore favored to win.

He built a massive following by showing how persuasion, not policy, drives political outcomes.

That insight proved correct. But it also revealed something darker. 🧵
After Trump’s victory, Adams pivoted to punditry—and during COVID, even he struggled to see the truth.

Scott strongly endorsed the vaccines, vaccinated himself, and publicly belittled followers who refused. Many later derisively called him “Clot Adams.”

In January 2023, Adams admitted—on video—that he’d been wrong and that the anti-vaxxers were correct. But he framed it as luck: the right people just happened to distrust the government, while “all the data” supposedly pointed intelligent analysts toward vaccination.

That framing matters. It reveals how even skilled observers of persuasion can mistake marketing consensus for truth—and how the same system that manufactures medical certainty also hides the limits of medicine, until reality forces a reckoning.
Last May, Scott told the world something most people never say out loud until it’s unavoidable: he had terminal, metastatic prostate cancer.

He openly stated he planned to use California’s medically assisted dying to reduce suffering.

He also shut down speculation—saying he had already tried fenbendazole and ivermectin and had no interest in continuing them.

The reaction was explosive.

People weren’t just debating treatment choices—they were watching, in real time, what a protracted, modern death actually looks like.

For many, it shattered comforting abstractions about both cancer and mortality.
