The painful truth about painkillers

-

MANILA, Philippines - It’s no joke to have arthritis, a chronic disorder characterized by pain and swelling of muscles, ligaments, and joints. Medical practitioners call this a lifestyle disease. Some causes include injury, obesity, metabolic abnormality, heredity factors, infections, immune system disorder, unhealthy eating habits, and lack of proper exercise.

Left untreated, arthritis would ultimately result in serious damage in the bones. But what remains to be the painful part is the recent medical evidence that has cast doubts on the accuracy of synthetic medicines on arthritis. With the surge of state-of-the-art medication, treatment remains to be confusing and frustrating.

The MedicineNet.com states that Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), also known as painkillers, are associated with adverse effects on health. Milder forms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, rash, dizziness, headache, and drowsiness. Prolonged use of NSAID may cause gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, fluid retention, leading to edema or worse, - kidney failure, liver failure, and heart problems.

Research and personal experiences of arthritic patients make them all the more take a second look at alternative cure. 

“One dangerous paradox in arthritis treatment is that the drugs most commonly used to treat arthritis are toxins to this intestinal barrier,” says Dr. John McDougall, US physician and nutrition expert for over 30 years.

The good news is there is a better option to NSAID that is safe and effective. Arthrite SGC is a natural anti-arthritic medicine approved by Food and Drugs Administration Philippines. It is the first to be registered as traditional medicine for joint pains with therapeutic claim.

The poly-herbal formulation of Arthrite makes it safe and effective even for long-term use.   Arthrite is stomach-friendly and defiles toxicity in the body, making it a healthier alternative to NSAID that causes damage to the intestine after prolonged intake.

Arthrite SGC is the first and only approved traditional medicine with therapeutic claim by the FDA. It also boasts being the first and only natural medicine with 14 herbs as active ingredients. It also complies strictly with the standard of the World Health Organization and the Department of Health. 

Arthrite SGC, combined with a healthy dietary habit, offers a ray of hope to people suffering from arthritis.
