Vioxx is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that was used by arthritis sufferers to alleviate mild to severe arthritis pain (it’s been pulled off the market). Far too many arthritis sufferers fail to realize that they do not need drugs to cure their symptoms. Whether you suffer from osteoarthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, joint inflammation, gout arthritis, etc, you should be aware of the fact that you do not need drugs to manage your condition. What doctors never tell patients is that the reason they suffer from arthritis (and this is consistent with almost any disease/illness) isn’t because they need Vioxx, Vicodin, Celebrex, Flexeril, or any other drug (and there are many). What arthritis sufferers should be concerned with is what exactly they are consuming in their diet. Today, we are consuming so many harmful substances from food such as hydrogenated oil, coloring matter, boric acid and other harmful food preservatives it’s a shame. At the same time, we are depriving ourselves of the most important nutrients and minerals that we need. Such deficiencies almost always lead to disease and illness. In fact, despite denial from the FDA, I believe that this combination may always be responsible for either the prevention of disease and illness (by consuming the right substances) or the development of them (consuming harmful substances). I bet your doctor has never told you this. Drugs are merely chemicals and they change the way a person’s body works, which is why we usually classify them as harmful. For example, Vioxx worked by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, which basically just means Vioxx blocked the message going to your brain that you are feeling pain. By blocking the message you obviously wouldn’t feel pain. But some of the mild side effects of Vioxx are closing of your throat, difficulty breathing, swelling of lips, face, tongue, etc, weight gain, unusual fatigue, unusual bruising or bleeding, etc. Again, I said these were some of the mild side effects. The point is that drugs can ruin a person’s life. (Read about vioxx settlements and recalls.) The sad part about it is that most people either don’t know that they don’t need drugs to treat their illness or they’re just not aware that alternatives exist.
Think about it like this, your doctor can only tell you about drugs and how to use them to treat an illness, but they cannot tell you how to prevent or eradicate disease and illness. This is because they went to medical school where the curriculum is dominated by the study of drugs for treatment, drug prescription, etc, instead of nutrition or nutritional medicine. The only thing that can eradicate and prevent disease and illness, will always be found in natural healing substances, not harmful chemicals. If you want to learn more about nutritional medicine or any other natural alternatives to get rid of your arthritis pain and inflammation, you can pick up a free report that will give you more details at the Arthritis Remedy website. They offer a free report called “The 3 Underlying Causes of Arthritis Pain & Inflammation That Your Doctor Won’t Tell You.” I’m suspicious that some drug companies may start campaigning to ban this report so if you are someone who suffers from arthritis you should take a look at it immediately. It may not be available much longer. Whatever you do, please understand that you don’t have to use harmful chemicals with dangerous side effects to alleviate your pain.
