Title: Is ramipril a snakeoil compound?
Post by: smart on 19/07/2018 14:19:23

Hi,

Is there such thing as a synthetic ACE inhibitor or is this concept purely pseudoscience?

I have read reports of users with various health issues dealing with ramipril and some others concerning fabricated
scientific data on the effectiveness of ramipril...
 
What do you think?
