The nightmare for those writing prescriptions for drugs and those taking them continues. The medication debacle in America highlights the blatant failure of Western medicine to improve the human condition and reverse disease in millions of Americans whose health is headed in the wrong direction.
A number of recent studies on using drugs to control blood pressure are challenging the essence of Western medicine theory; i.e., the reliance on managing numbers on paper instead of the actual patient. The shaky theory is based on the idea that somehow changing numbers with drugs produces health. If true, you would think that changing them to look ideally healthy would produce the greatest benefit. Not so, doing so can actually cause worse health when it comes to blood pressure and Type 2 diabetic patients.
The blood pressure arm of the ACCORD trial has proven to be another humongous failure, just like the lipid arm and the blood sugar arm. The ACCORD trial is based on the ridiculous idea that aggressively using drugs to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar in Type 2 diabetics will improve their cardiovascular health and save their lives. While lowering systolic blood pressure to 140 or less has shown benefit, lowering it below 120 (normal blood pressure) shows no additional benefit. To the contrary, multiple parameters of the health of Type 2 diabetic patients declined and medical complications rose significantly as their blood pressure was lowered to typical normal with drugs.

But for those who are in need this acts like life saving liquid. Life is God’s gift, so let’s nourish it carefully. There are some tests to be made before donating but first and foremost is the will, and concern for the fellow beings.

“The blood product industry is stemmed and developed from the blood transfusion, belonging to the conceptual category of biological products. The blood products, extracted the plasma proteins and factor concentrates from the blood, are the precious human biological products with irreplaceable prevention functions to many diseases.
