Subject: NSAID stands for Non-Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
NSAID drugs are used by millions of people daily around the world. Most people do not even think twice about their safety, whether these kind of drugs are safe to use?
These include aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen.
They work by inhibiting or blocking COX 1 and 2 Enzyme pathways that cause inflammation in the body. These drugs do work but have sever health issues, this is why COX 1 and 2 enzyme pathways should never be blocked.
If you take any of these drugs and other cyclooxygenase blocking drugs, consider the consequences:
- Double risk of heart attack and stroke
- Double risk of death from heart attack and stroke
- Gastrointestinal bleeding, sometimes fatal
- Gastric ulcers
- Kidney failure
- Liver failure
- Blood thinning leading to prolonged bleeding after surgery and injury
There are 16,500 deaths per year from NSAID drugs and the number keeps climbing each year. Fortunately, curcumin can help lower inflammation safely with out side effects. Consider taking curcumin instead of reaching for the NSAID drugs.
