Natural Alternatives to Vioxx, Celebrex and Other Anti-Inflammatory Prescription Drugs

Beyond today's headlines and pharmaceutical spin is an underlying truth - COX-2 inhibitor drugs can be extremely dangerous to your health. While this class of drugs does relieve pain and inflammation, the potential for heart attack and stroke has proven too great a risk for many. For those who are now looking for other options, health expert Carol Simontacchi has put together a simple guide to using safer natural alternatives. Written in easy-to-understand language, here is a book that provides solid information about nature's most effective treatments. The book begins by examining the causes of arthritis pain and inflammation. It looks first at the pharmaceutical approach to dealing with this condition and then at the holistic approach. This is followed by a concise discussion of the most effective natural supplements available, including curcumin, cat's claw, fish oil, ginger root, glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and SierraSil. Each supplement is examined for its method of action, scientific documentation and proper dosage. Important information is included on identifying the best natural products.Clearly, there is a place for drugs, but becoming a human guinea pig should not be part of the equation. Although natural product companies may not have the advertising dollars enjoyed by the pharmaceutical industry, the beneficial effects of natural remedies should not be overlooked. "Natural Alternatives to Vioxx, Celebrex" provides a vital resource for those looking for a safer solution.
