Did you know that a few years ago Losartan---BP medicine---was tainted with airplane fuel? A wife of someone high up in military affairs recently told me this. She was simply stating that we need to stop using drugs made outside the USA. She used Losartan as an example because it was made in China. When the airplane fuel contaminated tablets were found the USA had to scramble to find a new supplier so there were shortages in the meantime. I remember this because my husband was taking Losartan at the time. Of course we were never told the reason for the shortage. BTW my husband is now off BP and cholesterol meds.

Yup - try the other remedies - they work. Beet juice, Hibiscus tea, magnesium, no / very low sodium and better hydration. Works wonders. Tasty too if you like beets. If you don't, skip over to the hibiscus. :)

Nothing wrong with salt for the vast majority of people, it’s the processed refined garbage you need to steer clear from. Real salt, high in trace minerals like Redmond and Celtic sea salt are beneficial for the majority of people.

And grapefruit. They give you stern warnings NOT to consume grapefruit while on BP meds. Why? Because grapefruit naturally lowers BP! Ditch the drugs, eat grapefruit. My husband did. 😍

I heard lots of drugs and vaccines are made in China. Need to check to confirm. Drugs are necessary sometimes during surgery or for an emergency so they do need to be made in the U.S. following good manufacturing practices. I don’t trust China in that regard.

India is the numero uno "alternative source" for our "medications" now--and their quality control is akin to that of China's - i.e., NEGLIGIBLE!!!
