Alzheimer’s Caused By A Common Heart Medication

This is one of the most commonly prescribed heart medications.

Chances are you’re already taking it.

And, most likely, your doctor told you it had no or very little side effects.

But a new study from The Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute reveals that this medication drastically increases your risk of dementia.

Even worse, the longer you take this drug, the higher your risk of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Warfarin has been used so much because it’s an effective anticoagulant, or blood thinner. This is why it was an effective rat poison. Too much of it thins the blood enough to kill you, but just enough is effective at stopping blood clots from forming.

The problem is that most people who take it are on the drug for life.

Researchers followed long-term users for up to 8 years to find out if there was any correlation with warfarin and dementia.

And that’s exactly what they found. It turns out that the longer you’re on Warfarin, the more likely you are to get dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

But they also found that there was another factor that increased the danger even more (even among long-term users): dosage. They discovered that if Warfarin dosages were too high, too low or just erratic, the risk to patients was greater than if they were on a steady and appropriate dose.

At this point you might be wondering why doctors don’t avoid trouble by just prescribing the right dosage, but unfortunately this is easier said than done.

The way that Warfarin works is by lowering the amount of active vitamin K1 in the bloodstream, but it’s not the only substance that does that.

There are lots of other drugs and types of foods that can raise or lower the amount of K1 flowing in your system, so getting the warfarin dose right is a bit like trying to hit a moving target, even for experienced doctors.

The best way to avoid ending up on warfarin in the first place is to make sure that your cardiovascular health is in top shape. To achieve this, you need to keep your cholesterol and blood pressure levels within safe limits.

Bringing your blood pressure below 120/80 takes as little as nine minutes of doing the simple blood pressure exercises explained here…
