Flexicose - Liquid Glucosamine, Condroitin and MSM Joint Complex
The TRUTH about NSAIDS and Glucosamine |
Grab a recent
bottle of your favorite NSAIDS such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen,
acetaminophen or even branded products such as Tylenol? or Advil?.
Check the label. Do you see how it instructs you to take for NO
LONGER than 10 days? This is a problem for people with arthritis,
because your pain in constant and only grows worse with time. How
are you supposed to follow the label and yet get pain relief at
the same time? There is a very good reason that warning label of
10 days is FINALLY on the label. The New England Journal of Medicine
reports that “anti-inflammatory drugs (prescription and over-the-counter,
which include Advil®, Motrin®, Aleve®, Ordus®, Aspirin,
and over 20 others) alone cause over 16,500 deaths and over 103,000
hospitalizations per year in the US”, according to a review
article published in the New England Journal of Medicine1. While
they may be effective in the short term, NSAIDS are not exactly
safe in the long term. Stomach bleeding, acute toxicity, liver failure,
fatalities…. not exactly something that is worth a little
pain reduction over a long period time. Fortunately, there is a
better solution when it comes to some of the effects of osteoarthritis.
Keep in mind
that with NSAIDS, you are only covering up your pain. Your arthritis
is free to progress and get worse. The worst part of all –
and this is the MOST important information you will ever read about
arthritis – NSAIDS have been clinically shown to INCREASE
and ACCELERATE articular damage, inhibit chondroitin synthesis and
suppress proteoglycans synthesis by the chondrocyte2. This is extremely
bad for your joints because while you are covering up your pain,
your osteoarthritis is getting worse and because you are numbing
yourself to your pain, you are not aware of how your joints are
deteriorating until it becomes so severe that standard over the
counter NSAIDS are no longer effective for you.
Because
glucosamine has been shown to be at least as effective if not more
(because it has less side effects compared to NSAIDS), it is highly
recommended for osteoarthritis. Glucosamine has been shown to stall
the effects of osteoarthritis (some even claim it may halt its progression)
as well as to reduce discomfort and soreness. We all know that unfortunately
osteoarthritis (right now) has no cure and left untreated arthritis
will only get worse but with glucosamine your joints now have a
fighting chance.
In a nutshell,
glucosamine gets to the root of the problem and starts the repair
process while NSAIDS only mask pain and degrade your cartilage –
making your osteoarthritis worse! But hey, NSAIDS are a bit cheaper
right? They do temporarily reduce your pain right? Consider what
else they can do. NSAIDS also can kill you if you overdose on them.
Acetaminophen alone is one of the most common drugs associated with
both intentional and accidental poisoning. Don’t forget the
16,500 or so deaths a year and many more hundreds of thousands of
hospitalizations as a result of the common “harmless”
NSAID. It is time to change all of that.
If you have osteoarthritis,
we implore you to - if nothing else - add glucosamine to your current
daily life. Even if you are taking NSAIDS now, you will likely notice
that you need to take less and less to reduce your pain. Eventually
it is possible that you may be able to eliminate your NSAID dosages
completely and continue with your warm, healing liquid glucosamine.
Modern
science is working at a feverish pace to better deal with osteoarthritis
pain but can you guess where the money really is? If we cured arthritis,
the pharmaceutical companies would not be able to make money on
every "blockbuster" new drug. Instead the pharmaceutical
companies continue to come up with patentable new drugs that are
slightly better than the last ones, but remember that the drugs
you buy today have been in development for over 10 years if not
more. They are not exactly cutting edge technology. Glucosamine
is a natural supplement and nobody can patent it and it has been
a part of our bodies for thousands of years. Its effectiveness has
been proven both in and out of the lab. Glucosamine costs about
a dollar a day rather than several hundred dollars a month like
some prescription drugs. Lastly, glucosamine has helped hundreds
of thousands of people get more active, get healthier and get more
from their lives.
