You could probably get off the blood pressure meds if you'd let politics go! :P
I appreciate all the concern for my health, but I only have a mild case of high blood pressure--well controlled by a couple of cheap medications with no side effects or anything like that.

Yeah, maybe giving up politics might get rid of it, but then I'd be missing out on all the fun--not to mention all the heightened blood pressure I give to the lefties in here. :P

You guys are missing the big picture with all this alternative crap. The biggest single factor in improving the length and quality of our lives are the highly effective prescription drugs which are the result of research--NOT by government, but by our much-maligned pharmaceutical companies--for the good old profit motive. They used to call them "miracle drugs". Now, there are so many, we have come to take them for granted.
