Braverman has done a real service to the millions of Americans being hurt by blood pressure drugs. He correctly points out that, while they do lower blood pressure, the side effects end up INCREASING mortality. Braverman gives good practical alternatives including nutrition, vitamins, and life style changes. He tries to be fair to the heart drugs and points out that the calcium channel blockers are the safest drugs and probably OK. Well, since he published in 1996, studies have shown that some of these drugs double your risk of cancer and increase the rate of heart attacks. Mark Kroll, PhD, FACC
