"Mistakes
Doctors Make in Treating ARTHRITIS"

Whitaker, M.D.

"If
you have arthritis, your physician has most likely prescribed
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Motrin
(ibuprofen), Ansaid, Clinoril, Vicondin and Neproxen.
Initially, these drugs knock out your pain, and this makes
them seem like the ultimate solution.
Well, let me tell you friend, they're anything but.
Their side effects are frightful, including gastrointestinal
bleeding and kidney and liver damage.
About 107,000 people are hospitalized each year for gastrointestinal
complications resulting from use of NSAIDs. Each year, 16,500
of them die.
And if your stomach and liver survive prolonged use of NSAIDs,
your joints may not. Used long term, these drugs can destroy
your cartilage, making your arthritis and pain much worse.
Example: In one study, Norwegian physicians examined
the X-rays of 294 arthritic hips. They found that the hip
joints of patients taking NSAIDs had significantly greater
damage than those not taking the drug.
Are the New COX-2 Drugs Any Better?
With great fanfare, a new category of NSAID was recently introduced,
called COX-2 inhibitors. The drug Celebrex was the first to
be approved, and others are in the pipeline.
In terms of pain relief, they work no better than other over-the-counter
pain relievers. But they're supposed to be safer for you,
by cutting ddown on the serious risks of NSAIDs.
I'm not so sure, and I caution you to stay away from these
new drugs until we have more experience with them.
New research from the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center
raises the red flag that these new drugs may elevate your
risk of heart attack, stroke and other adverse "cardiovascular
events." Please, stay away from them until we gain more
experience with them. You don't want to risk trading your
arthritis pain for a massive stroke or fatal heart attack.
Steroids Are Also A Big Mistake
Doctors also routinely prescribe steroids such as prednisone.
While these steroids are very powerful for reducing inflammation,
they also have terrible long-term side effects. They can actually
bring on heart disease, diabetes, eye damage and severe osteoporosis,
as well as undesirable facial and body changes.
And PLEASE, Beware of Tylenol!
As for acetaminophen pain relievers, such as Tylenol, you
must also be very careful.
As acetaminophen breaks down in your body, about 5% of it
is metabolized into a potentially deadly toxin. This toxin
is normally neutralized in your liver. However, when
taken in too high a dose, the toxin overwhelms and damages
your liver. In fact, acetaminophen overdose is the leading
cause of hospitalization for acute liver failure.
Overdoses are far more common than you'd ever imagine. For
example, if your arthritis pain is severe on a given day,
you might be tempted to take an extra dose or two. The recommended
dose is 4 grams a day. Yet just 10 to 15 grams would be a
life-threatening dose to most people! Notice
I didn't say could be life-threatening, but would
be life-threatening.
And if you mix Tylenol with alcohol, you are begging for trouble.
For example, Mary Rose Palmer was a moderate drinker who took
Tylenol on a regular basis for back pain. She died in 1993
of acute liver failure from Tylenol poisoning. Thirty-seven-year
old Antonio Benedi had wine with dinner one evening, then
took ten Exra-Strenght Tylenol tablets over the next four
days. He also had acute liver failure but was saved by a liver
transplant.
Both cases went to trial, and Tylenol manufacturer Johnson
& Johnson paid out millions of dollars. If you must drink
and you have acetaminophen in your house, it's like storing
matches and gasoline next to your heater.
Natural Pain Relievers Are Far Superior
So now that you know the most common mistakes doctors and
patients make in treating arthritis, what are the right ways?
Well, let me start by assuring you that arthritis is now one
of the easiest conditions to treat IF you are familiar
with natural remedies.
As explained in the best-selling book, The Arthritis Cure,
by prominent M.D., Dr. Jason Theodosakis:
"An arthritis cure has been discovered, and it's as simple
as taking two inexpensive, over-the-counter nutritional supplements
.... Four decades of medical research from around the world
has shown that two nutritional supplements can halt, reverse
and even cure osteoarthritis [the wear-and-tear arthritis
that afflicts most sufferers]."
These two nutrients, which I'll name in a moment, are part
and parcel of a complete, all-natural, 100% safe arthritis
reversal program. And it's working like a charm!
At the front line of defense are two nutritional supplements
that are completely safe and stimulate healing with new cartilage
growth to cover the surfaces of your bones.
One is called glucosamine sulfate. The other is chondroitin
sulfate.
You've probably already heard of these wonder nutrients, and
the good news is all true. They've been proven to reverse
arthritis naturally. Yes, reverse it, and without any
harmful side effects!
These two safe supplements give your connective tissue the
raw material it needs to rebuild itself. And they're completely
safe. Indeed, you may be consuming them already in some of
the foods you eat. But you're not getting enough to jump-start
your cartilage into rebuilding itself. That's why you need
some supplementation.
I'm an M.D., and I wouldn't advise you to take anything I
don't believe is completely safe. The two compounds are natural
ingredients and have been studied for decades in Europe.
Best of all, they work -- better than anything the medical
world has ever seen for ridding damaged joints of pain and
restoring function.
We've found that glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin are the
two cornerstones of arthritis reversal and pain relief."

Liquid
OsteoProCare combines calcium orotate, 45 trace minerals
(like magnesium and zinc) plus Vitamin D3, Chondroitin, and
Glucosamine into a mint-flavored liquid that allows for maximum
absorption.
OsteoProCare, by Life Force International, is the best source

the fact that is in an easily usable liquid form. OsteoProCare,
as well as any other vitamin or mineral product in liquid
form, is absorbed into the cellular system many times faster

the supplements that you are taking while your body is dissolving
or digesting the capsule coatings prior to getting to the
"good stuff".
