This Shows Just How Big the High Blood Pressure Industry is

In business, most research and development teams are looking to break out with the newest thing, constantly with an effort to maintain market share.

That’ great if you are developing something that doesn’t cause harm, but what about the new developments that do?

Today we’ll talk about the juggernaut that is pharmaceutical development, and what it means if you have high blood pressure.

Pharmaceutical companies are constantly on the march to come up with a new, exciting pill to make a person’s life easier. Veiled in the promise that drugs are an easy way to cure diseases, sometimes the shining promise of an easy fix outglares the reality of the hidden dangers.

While it is true that some medications cure disease (antibiotics cure dangerous bacterial infections), most conditions are better left to natural cures and remedies.

However, there is simply too much money to be made off of prescription drugs.

When a biotech company makes a “breakthrough” in the development stage of creating a new medication, it is likely to spike that company’s stock value – even though the drug could be many hundreds of trials and many years away from actually hitting the market.

This is true for medications to treat virtually any disease.

There are literally dozens of high selling medications just for high blood pressure, across the many different classes of meds (calcium channel blockers, etc.). If the current medications are so effective, why then is there a need for new ones?

Maybe because pharmaceuticals are big business.

Recently, a biotech company called Bellerophon announced that there may have been a benefit to lab animals with induced hypertension, and their stock soared the next day. Bolstered by the news, additional revenue, and the FDA’s stamp to proceed to clinical trials, this new medication is headed to market so the drug kings can cash in.

At what cost, though?

Certainly there is a possibility that people will see some benefit from the drug, at least in the short term. However, the long term effects are unknown.

And the side effects? No mention of those in the exciting stock update. I am sure they wouldn’t want anything to interfere with the happy news of a potential cash cow.

The bottom line is that two things are certain: First, there will always be a new drug in development, regardless of how much of a success or failure the ones are that came before it. Second, every single one of those drugs carries with it side effects that run the gamut from frustrating to downright deadly.

There has to be a safer way.

And the truth is, there already is a safer – and easier – way. Natural methods to eliminate high blood pressure are already out there and proven to work.
