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
@MidwesternDoc For a deeper dive that exposes the truth about blood pressure, check out @MidwesternDoc's full report.

midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-bl…
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 To learn more about the harms of these medicines, check out @MidwesternDoc’s full article.

midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-bl…
@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

Hospitals murdered COVID patients. The more they killed, the more money they made.

When the hospitals tested for COVID, they got paid more.

When they admitted patients for COVID, they got paid more.

When they put people on Remdesivir, they got paid more.

And when they put loved ones on the ventilator, they got paid more.

Meanwhile, family requests for ivermectin were denied, while their loved ones were placed on this death protocol instead.

If you think this started with COVID, think again. Hospitals are still a death sentence for loved ones.

Before the unexpected happens, learn how this death trap works to keep your loved ones safe.

COVID pulled the curtain back for millions of people.

On a mass scale, we learned that hospitals across the country followed standardized federal protocols—not individualized care.

Things like Remdesivir and ventilators were pushed on dying patients.

Ivermectin and other affordable therapies were banned.

Even when doctors knew their patients would die, many refused to try alternatives.

And families were left in the dark.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

REPORT: Republicans are now advancing a federal version of the same digital ID system sweeping through Texas, the U.K., and Australia—proving this agenda isn’t partisan, it’s coordinated and global.

Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. John James have introduced the “App Store Accountability Act,” claiming it will protect children online. But hidden in the fine print is vague language on “age verification” and “parental consent,” with no clear explanation of how it works—or who controls it.

In practice, Americans could soon be required to upload their government ID or submit biometric data to an “approved provider” just to prove they’re adults. Parents would be forced to link their digital profiles to their children’s, giving unknown third parties access to both.

It’s the same pattern already unfolding in the U.K. and Australia, where officials now admit Digital ID will be used for “age assurance.” Once implemented, every click, post, and purchase can be tracked and restricted—all under the guise of child safety.

This isn’t about protecting children—it’s about controlling you.

If Americans don’t act now, digital freedom will disappear before their eyes. @zeee_media reveals how close they are to locking it in.

In other news, the UN is quietly moving to impose the first global tax on American citizens—a carbon levy the Wall Street Journal calls “the ultimate in taxation without representation.”

This week, the U.N.’s London-based International Maritime Organization will vote on a “net-zero framework” that could tax ships up to $380 per metric ton of carbon dioxide, funneling the money straight into a U.N.-controlled fund—even though it has no sovereign authority to do so.

The Trump administration has warned they will sanction any nation that supports the plan, calling it an outrageous overreach that could drive up global shipping costs by more than 10%.

Governor Ron DeSantis compared it to the British taxes that sparked the American Revolution, saying being taxed by the U.N. is “far more offensive.”

If Americans don’t push back now, unelected bureaucrats in New York and London could soon dictate what you pay to live, work, and trade. @zeee_media exposes how dangerously close this global tax scheme really is.

DISTURBING: Christian persecution is exploding worldwide—reaching levels unseen in modern history. Across continents, believers are being silenced, beaten, and killed simply for their faith in Jesus Christ.

In Britain, police now forbid citizens from singing church hymns in public. In India, a brutal new “anti-conversion” law threatens Christians with prison, massive fines, and home demolitions—fueling mob violence and pastor arrests. In Israel, the government froze the Greek Patriarchate’s finances under a retroactive tax scheme, while in Ukraine, priests are being dragged from their churches. And in Nigeria—the deadliest front line—over 52,000 Christians have been slaughtered since 2009, with 7,000 more this year alone.

Christianity is now the most persecuted faith in the world. Yet even as evil spreads, revival is rising. Across the globe, more young people are returning to God.

@zeee_media's report uncovers the persecution the world’s media refuses to talk about.

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

Everything you’ve been told about skin cancer and the sun is a lie.

Outdoor workers get 3–10 times MORE sun exposure yet have LOWER melanoma rates than those stuck inside.

It gets worse.

A 20-year Swedish study found that avoiding sunlight raised the risk of premature death by 60%, especially from heart disease and cancer.

They pushed sunscreen and fear while ignoring the simple truth that sun exposure mostly causes HARMLESS cancers, while sun avoidance is linked to the DEADLIEST ones.

Get ready to be re-educated about the sun. It’s time to unlearn the lies you’ve been sold.Image

Sunlight regulates circadian rhythms, lifts your mood, drives blood flow, and lowers your risk of dying.
