NSAIDs: Playing Russian Roulette with Your Health

If there’s one list of facts that gets me hopping mad, it’s the truth about NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs).

They’re incredibly common and include prescription drugs like Celebrex and Vioxx, as well as over-the-counter drugs like aspirin, Aleve, and Advil, among many others.

And if you’ve over the age of 60, you probably think they’re a safe way to manage your arthritis pain.

But did you know…our own FDA admits they can be deadly for seniors.

Just listen to this…
According to some estimates, these drugs – which are prescribed more than 100 million times a year in the U.S….

Put more than 100,000 people in the hospital annually

Kill at least 16,000 Americans every year

Plus, most of these hospitalizations and deaths are in seniors… (Yes, the very folks who need pain relief most.)

Did you also know that just one single dose of an NSAID increases the risk of a stroke, heart attack, and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding?

Not to mention other dangerous side effects like ulcers, liver and kidney dysfunction…

In fact, here are a few of the known side effects of NSAIDs:

• • Heart attacks
  • Stomach bleeding and perforation
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Stomach and intestinal ulcers
  • Necrosis (cell death) in the kidneys
  • Stroke
  • Chronic kidney disease

Again, just to name a few…

But did your doctor ever mention that to you?

And in case you think over-the-counter medicine, like aspirin, Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen, and naproxen are all safer options… I’m afraid they could still be dangerous.

Here’s the smoking gun…

In 2018, the journal of Aging and Disease reported that folks over 65 – yes, the very people who need pain relief most – have a 400% greater risk of stomach bleeding with any type of NSAID.

And in 2015, FDA deputy director Dr. Judy Racoosin admitted NSAIDs are SO dangerous that “There is no period of use shown to be without risk.”

That’s why the FDA itself slapped a “black box warning” on every NSAID sold, warning of potential heart attacks and strokes.

In other words, it’s kind of like you’re playing Russian Roulette every single time you pop a pill.

With statistics like that, suddenly it makes sense why more than 100,000 people are hospitalized, and more than 16,000 people die every year, just from taking NSAIDs as directed.

But I’ll bet you’ll never see that on an aspirin commercial…

Instead, they have us thinking it’s A-OK to pop them every day like candy. And that’s what we do.

About 7 out of every 10 people 65 years or older use NSAIDs at least once per week.

And about half of those people use NSAIDs daily.

For the millions of seniors desperate to find pain relief, they’re willing to take the risk.

Maybe you’re even one of them?

But what if there were a different way? A safer, natural way to get the EXACT same pain relief…

But without the dangerous and even deadly side effects?

The Pain-Erasing Solution Already Inside You

Unlike manmade NSAIDs, SAMe is so natural, it’s already inside us – created in our brain and liver.

And it has a very important job too… well, more like 100 important jobs.

Because SAMe is found inside every living cell, and it’s responsible for over 100 different chemical reactions we need to survive.

But now, science has shown that for seniors suffering with osteoarthritis, SAMe could hold the key to a life with much less pain… better, unrestricted movement… and a happier, healthier outlook.

That’s not some unverified theory either.

SAMe has been shown to dramatically transform the lives of seniors in eight different clinical trials on more than 22,000 arthritis sufferers…

And in those studies, it’s been just as powerful of a painkiller as five different NSAIDs.

I’m talking about ibuprofen, naproxen, and even three prescription-level NSAIDs, like Celebrex… but without any of the dangerous side-effects.

Take a look at this double-blind study (considered the gold-standard of research) from the University of California, Irvine, where SAMe was tested head-to-head against prescription drug Celebrex on 56 patients with painful osteoarthritis in their knees.

In the study, both the arthritis patients and the researchers were in the dark about who got what. But eight weeks later… the results were crystal clear.

When it came to relieving arthritis pain…

IT WAS A DEAD HEAT TIE.

Both therapies worked really well.

In one measurement (“pain level today”), erasing almost half – a full 48% – of the subjects’ pain.

Yes, natural SAMe worked just as well as a prescription painkiller, and the patients enjoyed:

• • Better joint function
  • Less tenderness and swelling in their knees
  • Less pain while walking
  • Better moods and vitality, and
  • An easier time with their daily routines, like housework, getting in and out of a car, and even crouching

But there was one huge difference between the two groups.

The SAMe group did take a little longer at first to start showing pain relief… but, after stopping the treatment, only the SAMe group enjoyed lasting results – up to a full 56 days after the study had ended!

Still, researchers were skeptical… was this study just a fluke?

And could SAMe stop arthritis pain not just in the knees… but all over the body?

They needed an answer.

So seniors with painful arthritis in their knees, hips, and back pain from arthritis in their spine volunteered for a second double-blind study.

One group was given SAMe and the other the prescription NSAID Indomethacin…

And four weeks later, the answer was right in front of them.

Once again, SAMe had improved the seniors’:

Stiffness in the morning…

Pain while both resting and moving…

The grating feeling of bone-on-bone…

Swelling…

Bending…

And movement…

Just as well as the prescription.

Yes, when it came to reversing frustrating, even agonizing, arthritis symptoms… natural SAMe was every bit as powerful as a drug.

But there was another catch…

Because nearly 40% of the prescription group dealt with nasty side effects like vertigo, stomach pain, fatigue, nightmares, and even blood in their stool.

Compare them to the lucky SAMe group, where only two people experienced some mild nausea…

Which group would you rather be in?

The winner is clear: SAMe.

How Does SAMe Work So Well?

Here’s the thing… SAMe was first discovered back in 1952.

And in all that time, scientists are still trying to learn exactly HOW this natural compound works to relieve pain.

They believe it may play a role in reducing painful inflammation… or even that it has a direct pain-relieving (analgesic) effect.

And because SAMe is part of us, it works naturally WITH the body – instead of against it. It’s even been shown to go one step further and protect the GI system and liver from damage.

(No NSAID on Earth can do that.)

So SAMe is as potent as a prescription, but without the deadly side effects.

It’s clear… when it comes to safely fighting pain and inflammation, SAMe beats OTC and prescription NSAIDs at every turn.

But there’s still so much more it can do.

Restore Lost Cartilage and Rebuild Younger Joints

By now you’ve learned how SAMe provides lasting pain relief, reduces stiffness, and soothes swollen joints.

But SAMe does so much more.

In fact, it can help transform old, creaky joints into new, younger joints.

That could help you walk, play golf, go about your daily routine, and even dance easier — with dramatically better movement and function.

What’s SAMe’s secret? It’s been scientifically verified to help “jump-start” cartilage repair…

That means it’s triggering the body to build more of its own healthy, cushiony cartilage, helping fix the underlying cause of osteoarthritis – wherever it hurts most.

Both in-vitro and animal studies have shown that SAMe increases chondrocyte proteoglycan synthesis and proliferation.

That is quite a mouthful, but the results can be life-changing.

In layman’s terms, SAMe stimulates new cartilage production way down at the cellular level.

See, “chondrocytes” are a fancy name for cartilage cells. And low numbers of chondrocytes are a hallmark of osteoarthritis.

And as the number of cartilage cells fall over time, so do our joints’ defenses. And that leads to more wear and tear, more stiffness, and more suffering.

But a proven solution that can restore the number of cartilage cells lost over time means we could finally reverse the disease process itself.

And that’s where SAMe comes in…

SAMe naturally flips our internal cartilage creation switch from “OFF” to “ON”… sending a fresh burst of energy to “dead” knees, elbows, shoulders, and hips to help replenish young, healthy cartilage that’s been missing for years and make every arthritic joint work like new again.

Friend, this is HUGE news…

It’s been shown to help naturally RE-GROW lost cartilage.

Which means enjoying younger knees, hips, hands, and feet again.

But don’t take my word for it…

I scoured the web for more real folks – like you – who are in-the-know about SAMe… and are using it right now. (Please note: names have been changed for privacy.)

Does SAMe Really Work?

Just ask Hope S. from Franklin, IL who called SAMe a “miracle treatment.”
