Understanding the real risks and benefits of beta-blockers

The beta-blockers are drugs very commonly used to treat l’high blood pressure and heart failure. By dilating blood vessels, they reduce blood pressure as well as heart rate.

Until recently, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommended the use of beta-blockers in patients who were scheduled for surgery even if they had no heart disease.

The drift comes from physicians using beta-blockers even in subjects who have no need for them without considering that such use can have deadly consequences in these individuals.

A study recently showed that the people who were most likely to die during a procedure were those with the lowest heart risks. This risk of death is directly related to the prescription of beta-blockers during surgery.

There are obviously pathological cases that require prescribing medications, but what physicians seem to have forgotten is that it is important to weigh the pros and cons, as well as the benefits and risks of each prescription on an individualized basis.

It is imperative to remember this, because we now know that a million Europeans
have paid with their lives for receiving a drug that was useless to them.

We can imagine what this might look like in the United States on a much larger population for which researchers estimate that surgical procedures excluding cardiac problems amount to over 30 million per year. If the European proportion of 25% for problems caused by beta-blockers is adhered to, this results in approximately 7.5 million Americans potentially affected each year.

So since prescribing beta-blockers may shorten life expectancy rather than prolong it...

When we know that laboratory studies are falsified and misleading, that the medications prescription drugs kill more than illegal drugs or car accidents... When you understand that most drugs do not treat the cause of the disease, but only mask the symptoms... If you value life and living, you think twice before swallowing any of them! Especially since there are very numerous natural and effective solutions to correct the condition, eliminate the disease and regain health without any risk.
