Does This Make Heart Disease Better, asks Corte Madera chiropractor Dr Harte

Here's a popular heart drug, Verapamil, specifically for the treatment of high blood pressure and angina. Check out those side effects. Note that some of those side effects listed show that the drug can make the heart worse, even TERMINALLY so, as in dead. Huh? Yes. This is what is called in Medicine a "paradoxical effect," the opposite of what one expects.

Well, when you try to just suppress symptoms, instead of correcting the cause (as Chiropractic does), you're going to run into problems
