Hypertension, most commonly referred to as "high blood pressure", HTN or HPN, is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is chronically elevated. It was previously referred to as arterial hypertension, but in current usage, the word "hypertension" without a qualifier normally refers to arterial hypertension.

The Victim Syndrome - Why Obesity, Hypertension, High Cholesterol Is Never Your Fault

0 comments

friends asked me to a party of Rotisserie chicken from a fast food restaurant in the upscale class. I am not an avid gourmet chicken or a frequent shopper at fast food places, and when I went there I did not know I was hungry. Anyway, if I have to think so, I suddenly realized that I have not eaten all day, and the smell of fried chicken was simply overwhelming. Since I am a big order and everything is fresh, I had to wait a little while. I spent the time studying patrons. There were some transients like me, but when their language, most of them seemed to be regular visitors. Your orders are different, but what they seemed to have been together all the weight around the middle of the fuselage, and about one third of them looked 12 months pregnant. Needless to mention, including the largest servings ordered, and the first.

In contrast, there was a family with two children, all slim, smile and look good, sitting at a table and said grace before eating slowly, talk and laugh and have fun. They cleaned everything and nothing behind it.

The question seems almost superfluous: Who has the food from the food industry?

So I decided to include my observations on people through an airport terminal, and categorize it by weight. It proved to be unnecessary, because it was right at the statistics: 2 of 3 people displayed an obvious need to lose weight, and 1 of the 2 had to adapt their size to increase very significantly to the obesity category. It is not surprising that airport terminals are the home of great junk-food chains, the people stand in line as if they were the food away, and people stood in line are usually not the slim be.

recalls the legendary "obedience to authority" Stanley Milgram " Milgram Experiment " of 1961, which says that as long as you have a higher order, you are not for your action, even if they add pain and suffering - the scene seems to be the "victim syndrome": "Because there is no other food is available, I have to eat, therefore I am not responsible for my on weight and health effects. "The fact that the victim of a majority creates a very strong alliance of commiserates, this is where the natural regulatory mechanism in society, no more and the abnormal is the default. This neologism, then creates a new reality: the overweight to the mainstream and obesity to normal, I'm consistently pitied, because I am a perfect weight (depending on the text books), and everyone is pressing me to eat more than I can cope.

By the way, some people argued that the Milgram experiment was flawed, at this time, and obedience would be significantly lower today. For this reason, Santa Clara University Professor Jerry M. Burger replicated the study in 2006, with minor amendments, the Ethics Commission. The results were sobering: 70% (compared to 79% in the 1961-experiment) the subjects were ready to administer (simulated) painful electric shocks while they were asked to do so by authority figures. It was particularly revealing that, contrary to expectations, the participants "to inflict severe pain," even if they witnessed a rejection of the Confederate experimenter instructions. Men and women participants 20 to 81 years, including all ethnic backgrounds and educational levels, do not differ in terms of their obedience. The studies from the original Milgram experiment through its later variants still the "Burger experiment show clearly how the herd-human behavior, ready to do what we say, even if it hurts others, as long as we can justify our actions: "I 'm just following orders" covers. Milgram (1974) argues that the key to obedience had little to do with the Authority of the manner or the way that people would follow orders from an authority that they are legitimate. Our culture Socializer individuals to obey authority, such as police officers or government agencies like the FDA, FTC, EPA, USDA, SEC, and others, and we always put their mind-slaves and the victims of their authority.

Unfortunately, the victim's Syndrome far beyond the bulging waistline. Let's take a look at the not atypical case of a high level for a Fortune 500 company: How is it possible that a highly educated individual scaled up to the top Echelon in the hundreds of employees, but does not take responsibility for his own health? Worse, he lies down lightly on the orders of a person in a white coat, and is very obedient swallowing what medicine he or she is told, for the years after years of no improvement and no measurable results. In no case, and in any case, would he or she is a behavior as for the company, he or she speak, challenge questions, and the validity of a resolution in front of him. If a minor seller deliver promises, but no results, year after year - not that the person to be fired? Of course! In addition, the company would get a manager to accept every piece of sketchy information as fact without testing?

course, this is the case Manager is not unique, but symbolic, and there are millions of patients in the American health care systems, which behave in the same way. We see very strong, the people, who seem to magically remove its own system the minute they hospital. There are men who were in command for the best part of her life and they all listen to them, but if they were taken with an illness, she morphed into a turtle. At the time when doctors are tradesmen who with healing, the patient had to follow. The patient had no other choice than to the doctor when he was the knowledge and the patients do not have access to resources. Unfortunately, we seem to have missed that things are different now, when the Doctors "is the first prescription pad, and the medication does alter some functions in the body that will inevitably lead to side effects that may be worse than the symptom they thought getting rid of. Now there is no justification to continue with the role of the victim, as everyone has access to the same print and online resources, such as the doctor. It follows that if we have a drug, we should first find out how this drug functions in the body. It is conceivable that there was not a drug, that the inhibition of organ functions, the more important to us than those of the drug is supposed to solve.

Schauspiel victims are paying the high price of exploitation by the industry that the phenomenon and on the prey: 30% of sick Americans report that their doctor does not discuss or review all the medications they had in the past two years, according to reports from National Coalition for the health care (nchc.org), while the average for each visit to a doctor of the Department results in more than two drug prescriptions (after cdc.gov website), and - interestingly - the most commonly prescribed type of drug is Antidepressants! There is an additional reward for the step from the victim role: Your own research actually lead the cause of the problem, because only you know your history. The drug is only the symptom remedy, at best, but learning about the cause - delivers the powerful wisdom, responsibility for own health.
