The result is many people are now seeking alternative non-drug therapies. They are also investigating legal remedies.
Those seeking non-drug alternatives to relieve chronic pain should discuss their plans with a physician. Known alternative remedies include:
MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane), a compound normally found in foods. It’s used to relieve
pain of osteoarthritis and help strengthen collagen in
joints.
Glucosamine, primarily used to treat osteoarthritis. Research indicates that glucosamine is as effective as low doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen. It appears to relieve pain and improve movement, slow
progression of
disease and protect joints from further damage.
Wobenzym, an enzyme combination and a top-selling supplement in Europe, now available in North America.
Bromelain, an anti-inflammatory and digestive aid used primarily in Japan, Hawaii and Taiwan.
Those who have suffered heart attacks and strokes while taking Bextra or Vioxx can explore legal remedies at www.painkillerinfo.com or by calling 800-320-5081.
