this guy posts sporadically but is always well researched, and i like what he says;

Your body has to build a billion cells a day. Does your doctor talk to you about a plan to help your body build a billion cells a day to maintain good health?
American drug companies have 100 drugs to manage the disease known as Hypertension. An American doctor will usually consider any Blood Pressure above 120 over 80 to be abnormal and sufficient cause to write you a prescription. But in Europe they don’t treat anyone for High Blood Pressure until it goes over 180. In India doctors think that any BP under 140 is dangerous and a sign of pathology.
Let’s take a look at an American Medical Association Journal article that most doctors ignore. Mortality rates are four times higher for people with systolic pressure under 120 than for those with pressure over 160. This study was based on examination of records for 48,000 patients from 259 US hospitals. It would seem that doctors pay more attention to salesmen from pill pushing Big Pharma than they do to scholarly research articles.
To state this so simply that even a drug company salesman can understand it: Higher Blood Pressure means lower death rates. Think of it this way: The heart is a pump. It delivers oxygen through the blood to every cell in your body. If you have damage to the heart or to the arteries, wouldn’t it make sense that higher pressure from your pump would make you live longer because it delivered more oxygen to your cells?
