Blood Pressure Meds for All?

By Al Sears, MD

I just finished reading the British Medical Journal ... there was an article by a group of blood pressure cuffresearchers telling doctors they should put everyone over 40 on blood pressure drugs -- even if they don't have high blood pressure!1

According to the study's authors, “Guidelines on the use of blood pressure lowering drugs can be simplified so that drugs are offered to people with all levels of blood pressure. Our results indicate the importance of lowering blood pressure in everyone over a certain age, rather than measuring it in everyone and treating it in some.”

Can you imagine? Taking drugs every day when you're in perfect health? This is a sign of things to come. Drug companies aren't satisfied with controlling medical schools, the media and the FDA... now they want all of us to take a drug every day whether you need it or not.

Are they kidding?

Why You Need Ubiquinol CoQ10

Traditionally, all CoQ10 supplements use the active ingredient ubiquinone. But once this gets into your system, your body must convert ubiquinone into another substance called ubiquinol.

Ubiquinol is the form of CoQ10 that works miracles. But there's a problem... Your body's ability to convert ubiquinone into ubiquinol starts to decline after age 45. As a result, your body doesn't get the full effect. And in many cases -- if you're 50 or older -- traditional CoQ10 won't give you the same disease protection it gives to younger people.

But Japanese researchers have discovered a reliable way to skip the conversion process and take ubiquinol straight on its own. The idea has been around for some time. But until now, no one could figure out how to make ubiquinol stable enough to take on its own.

This new option provides 8 times higher absorption of CoQ10 and keeps your blood levels high over an extended period.

Just 150 mg of ubiquinol CoQ10 elevates blood levels to almost 4 mcg/mL. You would need 1,200 mg of the traditional form to match that effect.

What may be even more important is how long ubiquinol stays in your body compared to the old ubiquinone. In one study using mice, the new ubiquinol was present in the blood at a 3.75-fold greater concentration after 8 hours. (A blood level of 4.5 mcg/mL after 8 hours of taking 100 mg.)6

This high concentration staying in your system for 8 hours is one of the keys to its blood pressure-lowering potential. The same amount of traditional ubiquinone dropped to a low level (just 1.2 mcg/mL) after 8 hours -- too low to have a powerful effect.

The truth is that you may not need blood pressure drugs -- even if you have high blood pressure. I see this all the time. Patients come into my office looking wrecked and demoralized, drugged up on blood pressure meds like beta blockers and ACE inhibitors.

Most folks don't realize these things make you fat... you blow up like a balloon. They can even cause heart failure.

Worried about high blood pressure? Today I'll show you what I've been using with my patients for years and the results are amazing. Here's what you do: check your blood pressure; start the simple strategy I mention below and then test again a few months later. You'll see what I mean.

Steer Clear of Dangerous Pills
Case in point: One of my patients, Roxanne, had been on an ACE inhibitor for 4 years. She had gained 10 lbs. and was tired all the time. And at 140/85, her blood pressure was still on the high side, even on the drugs.

I told her to stop taking the blood pressure pills immediately. They weren't working anyway. And I put her on a simple nutrient. After 9 months, her blood pressure was back to a healthy 118/80.

Plus, she told me she had more energy and was already working on losing the weight she had gained.

Roxanne's story isn't unique. Blood pressure pills typically make you weak and tired. Some patients have nasty side effects like depression, impotence, joint pain, and even kidney and liver damage.

What's worse is that blood pressure meds don't even work for the majority who take them. Only 42.9% of patients ever see acceptable blood pressure levels.2

Another study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine reveals just how worthless they are. In the group given the placebo, 30% lowered their blood pressure below the set goal. Apparently, just doing nothing will help close to a third of those with high blood pressure.3

Of course, I wouldn't advocate that you do nothing if you have high blood pressure -- it does raise your chances of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. But you can treat your high blood pressure effectively without exposing yourself to the side effects that come with these drugs.

Get the One Nutrient That Eliminates Hypertension

The first thing I instruct my patients with high blood pressure to do is take 50 mg of ubiquinol CoQ10 every day. It's the only thing I told Roxanne to take. She made no other changes and watched her blood pressure return to healthy levels.

You'll probably never hear it mentioned by the medical establishment, but it's highly effective at reducing blood pressure without any dangerous side effects.

Over 50% of patients coming to my office with high blood pressure taking blood pressure drugs have been able to stop those drugs with CoQ10. Several double-blind clinical trials have corroborated CoQ10's blood pressure-lowering effects. For example, a team at the University of Texas found that CoQ10 is so effective, it enabled them to safely take patients off blood pressure medications.4

A double blind, placebo-controlled study published in the Journal of Human Hypertension followed two groups of people with high blood pressure. One group took CoQ10 for eight weeks while the other took a placebo. The CoQ10 group showed a significant reduction in blood pressure.5

A meta-analysis of studies that looked at CoQ10 and hypertension revealed that CoQ10 can lower systolic blood pressure by up to 17 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by up to 10 mmHg without side effects.7

No matter what your blood pressure, insist on blood testing for CoQ10. If your levels are low, start with 50 mg of ubiquinol CoQ10 a day. After that, monitor your levels after three months.
If you only do one thing for healthy blood pressure, take CoQ10. 

To Your Good Health,

Al Sears, MD

Cutting Edge Fitness:  
Try this for a Flat Belly, Reduced Back Pain... and More  
Coach Yari Top

Are you experiencing any of these symptoms: low back pain, hunched rounded shoulders, or a Deep breathingprotruding belly?

A weak core is most likely the reason, which means you should strengthen it! “How?” you ask.  It's not with endless crunches or crazy ball exercises. Instead, you will learn simple diaphragmatic breathing exercises! 

First, let's test your breathing.  

Start by standing in front of a mirror.  Now, place one hand on your belly and one on your chest. Take a deep breath. Does your belly rise or does your chest rise? If your chest is the answer, we have work to do!  If your chest is rising, this means the muscles of your upper body are doing the lifting of the rib cage to bring oxygen into your lungs.  That explains why you have tension and knots surrounding your neck and your posture may be a mess.

If your belly rose, then you are in better shape.  However, you could still practice the diaphragmatic breathing program I am about to show you in order to strengthen your inner core, improve your posture, flatten out your belly, and YES, burn more fat

Your inner core is composed of four major muscle groups and 2 supporting muscle groups. By incorporating diaphragmatic breathing, you will undoubtedly strengthen all the major and supporting muscle groups of your inner core.  This is something we neglect because we sit in chairs from the age of 5 and are constantly under the pressure of society to “suck it in.”

Well, Let it out and Just BREATHE

Diaphragmatic breathing is the act of breathing deeply into your lungs by expanding your diaphragm using your inner core.1 Besides creating a foundation for a strong core, diaphragmatic breathing also has many health benefits such as reducing stress, improving bowel movements, decreasing anxiety, improving insomnia, relieving asthma symptoms, and helping lower blood pressure naturally! 2,3 

In addition to a stronger core and all the health benefits, diaphragmatic breathing will also allow you to burn more fat!  You will have better form in your exercises, giving you more power and enabling you to lift more weight. Heavier weight lifting leads to more lean body mass, which fires up your metabolism to burn more fat!

Click here to watch me show you the ultimate secret to a sexy, flat stomach, and a reduction in back pain!

Does Your CoQ10 Really Work?

Dr. Al Sears says: “If You're Taking the Wrong Kind,
You May Be Wasting Your Money!”

The many health benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10 are already well established... Yet many patients I talk to in my practice tell me they don't feel any different after they start taking CoQ10.

When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why.

As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking never makes it to their cells where it can do the most good.

In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion's share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme disappears – making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need.

Fortunately, I've found a simple way to solve this problem forever ...

Healthy Recipes:  
Basil Vinaigrette  
Kelley Herring Top

It's time to give up the bottle! Not the wine bottle... that's a pleasure you should enjoy in : vinaigrette dressing moderation (as long as it's organic).  I'm talking about bottled salad dressing.  Almost every brand is made with vegetable and seed oils, rich in omega-6 fatty acids, which promote inflammation... and ultimately cancer and heart disease.

But not to worry... with just one drizzle of this bright vinaigrette, you'll gladly put the bottle in your past.

Time To Table: 5 minutes
Serves: 16 (1 cup total, 16 1 Tbsp. servings)

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3 cups organic basil leaves
1/2 cup organic extra virgin olive oil
4 Tbsp organic raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
3 cloves organic garlic, chopped

Add all ingredients to a food processor or Magic Bullet. Process until smooth.
