Somewhere, right now, hundreds of Big Pharma lab techs are downing their sixth cup of coffee for the day, working sunup to sundown with the same trillion-dollar dream -- they want to be first to develop a pill that cures cancer. But according to a shocking new study from Seattle, something far more sinister may have emerged from some of those Big Pharma labs... those very same techs may have brought every woman's worst nightmare to life. If the link pans out it seems that the drug companies may have accidently invented a pill that gives you cancer -- and they've been selling it by the MILLIONS! A terrifying new study by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle has found that women treating their high blood pressure with prescription drugs could have developed life-threatening breast cancer in the bargain! In fact, women in the study who took one specific type of blood pressure drug saw their chances of developing breast cancer jump by an astounding 150%. Researchers analyzed the health records of nearly 3,000 post-menopausal women, pouring through their medical histories and prescription drug use. Women who were taking calcium channel blockers like amlodipine, diltiazem, isradipine, nicardipine, nifedipine, nisoldipine, and verapamil for more than 10 years had a 2.5-fold greater chance of getting that dreaded breast cancer diagnosis all women fear. Even worse, 98 million prescriptions were filled for calcium channel blockers in 2010 alone! That's right -- Big Pharma is raking in billions with a pill that could be causing tumors by the THOUSANDS! Now, I have no doubt drug company execs are going to be eager to keep milking this cash cow -- no matter how many mothers, grandmothers, wives, sisters and daughters might end up getting caught in the cross fire -- and some have been quick to point out that the study didn't prove that calcium channel blockers caused breast cancer. Well, that's true -- but it's also true that several other medications for high blood pressure were looked at in the study, and only calcium channel blockers were associated with the elevated risk of deadly breast cancer. And let's face it -- while the drug companies might have us believe that calcium channel blockers are as sweet and harmless as a butterfly with licorice wings, the truth is they've busted more bowels than an all-you-can-eat buffet. These drugs have already been linked to constipation, heartburn, bloating -- you name it. Plus they can cause dizziness, chest pains, and shortness of breath. The writings on the wall my friend, calcium channel blockers are bad news. And countless women could suffer with potentially serious and deadly consequences. If one of these pills is darkening your medicine cabinet right now, it's time to have a chat with your doctor. Tell him you're done dancing the Side-Effect Samba, and that you're ready to try safe, natural cures instead! Click here to read about a regimen straight from Dr. Wright that you can share.
