NSAIDs: Will You Be a Statistic?

In a recent New England Journal of Medicine article, researchers disclosed that the adverse effects of using NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) like Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Naprosyn, Naprox, Voltaren, Indocin and others, can include stomach bleeding, ulcers and, in some cases, death.

Millions take NSAIDs without much thought. However, research has shown that bleeding and ulcers occur half the time; often, with no symptoms. Among the people who develop serious bleeding from NSAIDs and require hospitalization, an amazing ten to 15% will die; tens of thousands per year. In fact, 2,000 people in the United Kingdom die each year from gastro-duodenal lesions from taking NSAIDs.

These drugs simply cover up your body’s warning signs and fool the body. Every day we help locate and reduce the underlying cause of many types of health problems. Is it time for a chiropractic checkup for you, or someone you know, who thoughtlessly reaches into the medicine cabinet?
