No way make an antibiotic OTC. Talk about causing resistance.

Let me get this straight. If I take HiBP meds, smoke and wear a mask my chances of survival are greatly improved? This is what I’ve learned in the last week.

Next, they're going to discover the real secret is to roll them up like a joint and smoke the masks.

Time for COVID hysteria to cease. It would appear that everything but aspirin is a solution.

This childishness over a virus that has been hyped to death by the Despicable Party and their news arm is BS and it is time for it to called as such.

“””IIRC 6 months ago the medical scientists were saying the exact opposite.

Namely, ACE inhibitors made a person more vulnerable to a bad outcome with covid.

Anyone else remember the same????

Yes, I do remember that-because my Rx was not for Ace Inhibitors and thought I was fortunate.”””


My thanks to you and others who remember the same. It is always good to know our memory cells are still working.

Yes! We just went through this but backwards. So confusing.

Also- originally we would all have immunity after having it, then no, we wouldn’t, just last week yes! Immunity after recovery assured- then today read of cases in Asia with patients getting it again.

Peak 2020.

I sure do. Early on they said that high blood pressure put people in danger. I asked a simple question: How does a virus that is something like 100 atoms across measure blood pressure? My blood pressure machine is about 1 million times that size, and so are most others - so what kind of machines are these virons using?

Answer: They obviously cannot - but they can be affected by the drugs people with high blood pressure are taking.

All this means is, people with controlled blood pressure survive longer. Duh!

Sometimes, the answer is simple like your DUH post.

When the doctor hears hoof beats, maybe. he should not be looking for zebras!

Back in April I asked my primary if I should cut off lisinopril for a calcium channel blocker. She said her reading told her that ACE s would inhibit the virus. The literature at the time from Italy said the opposite, but it turns out she was probably right.

Try this: Celery Seeds

Celery Seeds are another natural way to lower blood pressure with a natural Ace Inhibitor. Celery seeds contain 3-n-butylphthalide which in studies has shown in animal tests to lower blood pressure as much as almost 15%.

FDA will of course now ban it and we’ll have an epidemic of strokes, which they’ll blame on Trump.
