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.

🧵 THREAD

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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

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.

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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

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?

@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.

@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?

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.

@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. 😳

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

He’s been covering up a massive scandal inside Community Notes for well over a year.

And once you hear about it, it’ll make your blood boil.

🧵 THREAD

📌 Before we dive in, bookmark this post and send it to everyone you know on the X support team.

There’s a serious problem—and nothing’s going to change until this sham is exposed across the entire platform.

Just so you know, I don’t think Jay likes me. He just BLOCKED me for raising serious concerns.

The system is being weaponized to target conservatives and critics of pharma.

And there’s one account that stands out as the worst offender.

I’ll show you exactly who that is below.

This Is War.

Tom Homan and Stephen Miller just tag-teamed a scorched earth exposé of America’s illegal alien crisis.

They’re not pulling punches—Democrats are actively trying to take this country down.

Only two choices remain: push back or get steamrolled by the radical left and their rogue judges.

And then Homan ended with a demand from Congress that could change everything.

🧵 THREAD

📌 Bookmark the post above—Homan and Miller just dismantled the open borders narrative in real time. This moment was a turning point.

Now, let’s roll the clips...

It kicked off with Tom Homan pulling back the curtain on America’s two-tiered justice system—and what he revealed was infuriating.

Hannity set the stage:

“This guy Garcia got more due process than Laken Riley, or I'll add Rachel Morin, or I'll add Jocelyn Nungaray, or I can scroll the names of other Americans that have been murdered, raped and victims of violent crime.”

“They didn't get any due process, did they?”

Homan didn’t hesitate. He zeroed in on Abrego Garcia, a deported MS-13 gang member, to make the contrast crystal clear.

“No they didn't. He got due process. He got two immigration judges, two federal judges to order him deported after a hearing. He got due process.”

He kept going, reminding viewers of who really gets left behind:

“But you're right, angel moms and dads across this country, they get no due process.”

“Just like the parents of the two that were killed by an illegal alien in California. They didn't get due process.”

Then came the gut punch:

“So they enter the country illegally, so they ignore the legal process when they come here illegally but all of a sudden they get deported, now they want to take advantage of the legal process.”

“It's upside down, but we're going to keep doing what we're doing, Sean.”

CNN’s Dana Bash just got steamrolled by MAHA on live TV.

She tried to corner Dr. Marty Makary with a jab at RFK Jr.—but he flipped the script on her fast.

It was a moment that spoke for every fed-up mom in America. And it all started with a dirty secret hiding in your pantry.

🧵THREAD

📌 Bookmark the post above—MAHA went toe-to-toe with CNN’s narrative and came out stronger. The truth is breaking through and this was a turning point.

It all started with a truth bomb. A terrifying one.

The FDA Commissioner just went on national television and exposed what’s really inside the food dyes being pumped into our snacks—and what he revealed left jaws on the floor.

CNN wasn’t ready for what Dr. Marty Makary was about to say.

When host Dana Bash asked why these petroleum-based dyes are still allowed in food and medicine, Makary didn’t hesitate.

“Well, good question Dana. I don't think we appreciated the potential risks to human health and child health when they were first introduced,” he said.

Then he dropped the line every parent should hear loud and clear:

“Yellow dye number five, for example, was noted to be a bright, vibrant yellow color as the byproduct of coal tar in the coal ash.”

Coal tar. That’s what’s been showing up in your kid’s snacks.

Makary explained how it happened:

“And then people decided to put it in fabric. And then they thought, well, we can put it in food.”

It wasn’t an accident. It was a failure—one that went unchecked for decades.

But the science is finally catching up.

“The studies have caught up with the introduction of these petroleum-based chemical food dyes, and the data doesn't look good.”

Especially when it comes to children.

“Studies have shown an association with ADHD. It also makes ultra processed food look more attractive for young kids, messing with their minds where they feel full and they want more of the food.”

Now, at long last, the FDA is taking action.

“We’ve got an epidemic of childhood chronic diseases, so we are airing on the safe side and moving to remove these from the U.S. food supply.”

They allowed coal tar byproducts—originally meant for textiles—into our food. And only now are they beginning to clean up the mess.

What if I told you there’s a dirt-cheap drug that can treat stroke, chronic pain, and even cancer?

It’s called DMSO. And after decades of suppression, doctors are rediscovering its power.

One Florida MD uses it in his daily practice—and what he’s healing will blow your mind.

🧵 THREAD

📌 Before we get started, there’s a good chance you’ll want to bookmark this thread.

DMSO is a powerful compound—and most people have never even heard of it.

The information Dr. James Miller reveals here is nothing short of extraordinary.

Dr. James Miller, a surgeon turned primary care physician, joined @Zeee_Media on The Daily Pulse and blew the lid wide open on DMSO’s remarkable benefits.

He said DMSO works so well for so many conditions that it “seems unbelievable.”

Here’s what it’s helping patients recover from:

• Autoimmune disorders

• Chronic nerve inflammation

• Diabetic neuropathy

• Stroke-related disability

• Debilitating arthritis

• Vaccine injuries

• Chronic pain

• Even cancer

Best of all, it is very safe. Dr. Miller says:

“It has an extremely safe toxicity profile. It’s like salt—you can hurt someone with too much salt, but it’s really hard. And DMSO is in that category. It’s just very, very safe.”

This is mind-blowing.

A medical substance you’ve probably never heard of is treating autoimmune disease, nerve injury, and even conditions that most doctors say are untreatable.

That substance is DMSO.

Dr. James Miller says it works so well for so many things that it “seems unbelievable.”

Here’s what it’s helping patients recover from:

• Autoimmune disorders
• Chronic nerve inflammation
• Diabetic neuropathy
• Stroke-related disability
• Debilitating arthritis
• Vaccine injuries
• Chronic pain
• Even cancer

This all seems too good to be true—until you actually look into it. Check our the articles I am dropping the comments below. They will blow your mind.

"DMSO is a remarkably effective pain-killing agent, in many cases allowing individuals who’d been disabled for years by their pain."

RFK Jr. just blew the lid off one of the food industry’s dirtiest secrets.

What he told his team before facing the food execs left the entire HHS headquarters stunned.

If you watch one thing today, make it this moment.

MAHA just leveled up.

🧵THREAD

📍Lock this in—bookmark the post above. You’re witnessing history as MAHA goes from vision to reality.

Now, onto the clips...

It started with an announcement that would change everything.

From the podium at HHS headquarters in Washington D.C., FDA Commissioner Marty Makary made it official: the United States will fully phase out petroleum-based food dyes by the end of next year.

A policy many thought was impossible—now etched in to history.

And for the MAHA movement, it’s a defining victory.

Makary stepped forward with a dose of honesty that’s been missing in public health for decades.

“There is no one ingredient that accounts for the child chronic disease epidemic,” he began.

“And let’s be honest. Taking petroleum-based food dyes out of the food supply is not a silver bullet that will instantly make America’s children healthy. But it is one important step.”

He didn’t sugarcoat the crisis.

“This administration is not interested in continuing down the path of doing the same old things as we watch our nation’s children get sicker. We need fresh new approaches.”

Makary called out the alarming spike in cancer and diabetes in kids—conditions that used to be unheard of.

“Cancer and diabetes in young people is going up at an alarming rate and nobody seems to know why. We have to turn our attention to underlying causes such as chemicals and toxins that children are exposed to. Not just more insulin and chemotherapy.”

Then came the truth bomb that drew murmurs across the room:

“And let’s not forget that the best way to lower drug prices is to stop taking drugs we don’t need.”

He said the quiet part out loud—and then he laid out the FDA’s plan:

“Number 1: Establishing a national standard and timeline for the food industry to transition from petroleum-based food dyes to natural alternatives.”

“Number 2: Initiating a process to revoke authorization of synthetic food colorings—including those not in production, namely Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B—within the coming weeks.”

“And number 3: Taking steps to eliminate the remaining six synthetic dyes from the U.S. food supply—specifically Red Dye No. 40, Yellow Dye No. 5, Yellow Dye No. 6, Blue Dye No. 1, Blue Dye No. 2, and Green Dye No. 3—by the end of next year.”

The crowd knew what they were witnessing: a system finally cracking open—and exposing the truth.
