Why Hypertension Medication Side Effects?
by Dr. Johann Georg Schnitzer

MEDICINE DOES NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF HYPERTENSION!

"For the majority of people, there is no identifiable cause for the onset of arterial hypertension." The condition is described and classified as "essential" or "primary" hypertension, yet absolutely nothing is known for certain about its causes! 

WHAT MEDICATIONS DOES CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE PRESCRIBE FOR ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION? 

The standard medication for arterial hypertension—prescribed to nearly 100% of patients—contains a substance known as a beta-blocker; this inhibits the normal beating of the heart muscle, reducing its natural output. Through this mechanism, the heart no longer beats with the amplitude the body requires, which automatically leads to a drop in arterial blood pressure—much like partially closing a faucet connected to a hose. Beta-blockers reduce cardiac output by 20–40%, and this inevitably leads to: - certain damage to the heart muscle, resulting in chronic heart disease - a lack of strength and energy - chronic fatigue - blood-related issues due to a lack of oxygen and fresh blood reaching the extremities - a weakened immune system - the weakening of all organs (since all organs are nourished and strengthened by the blood pumped by the heart) - reduced brain function Other medications prescribed alongside beta-blockers include blood thinners—drugs that artificially alter blood consistency—or vasodilators, which dilate the arteries. 

QUESTION 1: If hypertension is not actually related to the heart—according to current medical knowledge—why are drugs that reduce heart function prescribed? Because these drugs achieve the fastest reduction in high blood pressure—an effect patients also desire. However, these drugs cause harmful and irreversible health effects, ultimately benefiting the pharmaceutical manufacturers the most. 

QUESTION 2: Do beta-blockers cure high blood pressure? Of course, they do not cure anything; the heart's relationship to blood pressure is much like that of a tap to a clogged hose connected to it. Closing the tap does not clear the hose, even if the pressure inside it drops.

QUESTION 3: Why, then, are beta-blockers prescribed for high blood pressure if they do not provide a cure? ...nothing? These medications are prescribed precisely because they do not cure the condition. If medications actually cured something, who would keep buying them for decades on end? The pharmaceutical industry's goal is profit, not a cure. There is no money to be made in curing diseases.

QUESTION 4: Why don't doctors look for a better alternative? The pharmaceutical industry does not produce other medications for this condition, so doctors have no other options to choose from. Beta-blockers work quickly (even though they damage the heart and weaken the entire body), and for most "doctors," that is more than enough. A true doctor, however, seeks the root cause of the illness and tries to eliminate it—but such doctors are rarer than hitting a seven-number lottery jackpot.     

QUESTION 5: What is the actual cause of high blood pressure? If we look at the cardiovascular system, we can compare it to a water pump circulating water in an artificial lake. This system consists of a pump (the heart), a hose (blood vessels), and a filter (the kidneys). The water pump is selected to ensure ideal water circulation. If the pressure in the hose rises at any point, there are only two possible causes: a) the hose is clogged b) the filter (kidneys) is clogged Reducing the pump's output lowers the high pressure that develops in the hose, but this does not fix the underlying problem. In this situation, a plumber would do the right thing: clean the clogged filter. In the body, the kidneys are the cause of arterial hypertension. The kidneys constantly filter the blood, and when their efficiency drops, blood pressure automatically rises because the heart does not adjust its output based on kidney function. 

WHY DOES KIDNEY EFFICIENCY DECLINE? 

Human kidneys are the organs most strongly linked to emotions; they are severely affected by distress and negative emotions, especially those that persist over time (sadness, depression, heartbreak, the loss of loved ones, loneliness). Most people begin to develop high blood pressure following a death or a period of prolonged distress. In cases of chronic distress, the kidneys can no longer function properly—they contract due to sadness—and as their filtration capacity diminishes, arterial pressure automatically rises. Daily conflicts and agitation also lead to hypertension in people who are not sad or depressed; however, this is caused not only by impaired kidney function (most people have weakened or congested kidneys) but largely by the liver, which plays a compensatory role regarding the volume of blood circulating in the body.
