PROLOTHERAPY AN ALTERNATIVE TO VIOXX AND BEXTRA
Most folks who were taking Vioxx and Bextra for chronic pain and arthritis have been switched to other anti-inflammatories including Celebrex. Let's think about it folks...Vioxx and Bextra were taken off of the market because they were killing people is switching to another anti-inflammatory which works in basically the same manner a good idea?

In December 2004 the news was out that Celebrex caused a 3.4 times greater risk than placebo in cardiovascular events (like heart attack). This study was stopped by the National Cancer Institute. Why? People were dying from Celebrex! When researchers looked at 400 mg of Aleve versus Celebrex, Aleve was shown to cause elevated risk of heart problems and stroke. So guess what happened with that study? You guessed it the National Cancer Institute stopped it? Why? Because Aleve and Celebrex were killing people! In this study the amazing fact was that the over-the-counter antiinflammatory (Aleve) proved riskier then the
prescription (Celebrex). Let's face the facts...

  1. Anti-inflammatories do not cure the cause of the pain.

  2. No pain is from an anti-inflammatory deficiency

  3. Anti-inflammatories have numerous risks including death

  4. Anti-inflammatories are being taken off of the market, one by one because they are killing people

  5. Anti-inflammatories kill people

  6. People generally do not want to be killed

  7. People don't want to be killed by anti-inflammatories

  8. Pain is caused by weakness in a structure

  9. The structures that typically are weak in people with pain are ligaments

  10. Ligament weakness leads to osteoarthritis

  11. The best treatment to repair chronic ligament weakness is Prolotherapy

  12. Prolotherapy for ligament weakness is endorsed by the Mayo Clinic

  13. Prolotherapy cures chronic pain by many mechanisms including ligament regeneration

  14. Prolotherapy cures chronic pain

  15. People with pain would rather be free of the pain then die

  16. Prolotherapy cures chronic pain, anti-inflammatories can kill people taking them long term

  17. Prolotherapy is the best alternative to anti-inflammatories.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
