5 Deadly Pain Med: Salicylates (Aspirin, Aspro, Cartia Codral Disprin Solprin Cardiaprin Codis Alka-seltzer) Higher doses or prolonged use at the lower dose - even in buffered or coated form - can double your likelihood of perforated ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced it is rescinding its approval of bevacizumab (Avastin) for treating breast cancer because the drug has not proven itself to be safe and effective. The FDA recognizes how hard it is for patients and their families to cope with metastatic breast cancer and how great a need there is for more effective treatments. But patients must have confidence that the drugs they take are both safe and effective for their intended use. "After reviewing the available studies, it is clear that women who take Avastin for metastatic breast cancer risk potentially life-threatening side effects without proof that the use of Avastin will provide a benefit, in terms of delay in tumour growth, that would justify those risks. Nor is there evidence that use of Avastin will either help them live longer or improve their quality of life." “Some of the risks associated with Avastin are severe hypertension, bleeding and haemorrhaging, heart attack or heart failure, and perforations forming in body parts such as the nose, stomach, and intestines. It remains an approved treatment for certain kinds of colon, lung, kidney, and brain cancer.” the FDA noted.
SO WHAT CAN WE DO FOR PAIN? (Tessa) A. Treat the cause. Identify the pain. Painkillers are just a bandaid. They don’t solve the problem. Most pains are caused by inflammation, either from injury, the way we use our bodies, what we put into our bodies, incl food and drink or exposure to germs and chemicals. Nutritional deficiencies can also cause problems. We don’t get the nutrition from our foods that our grandparents did. This is what the body is designed to function on - what we get from food. Vit C and fish oil are natural anti-inflamatories. Vit C also raises the pain threshold so lessens pain.
B6 and B12 help nerve function so help with sharp, stabbing, electric shock type pain. Magnesium and manganese help with muscle and tendon pain incl cramps and stiffness. Borax helps bones to function incl arthritis, fractures, gout, bunions. Gelatine helps rebuild cartilage in joints. Vit D helps reduce inflammation and pain and also helps the immune system fight germs which can cause inflammation. Hirudoid cream helps restore function with soft tissue injury and strains. Iodine, Vit C and Colloidal Silver help kill germs too. Avoid foods that aggravate you incl cheese, dairy, wheat, reative foods. Keep up fluids.
2 Deadly Pain Med: Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs or NSAIDs (Advil, Aleve, Neurofen, ibuprofen, Naproxen, Brufen, Lemsip) The odds of dying from taking an NSAID after just two months is around 1 in 1,200. NSAIDs cause gastrointestinal ulcers, severe bleeding - and possibly death after the medicine destroys your gut. 3 Deadly Pain Med: Opiate-Based Pain Meds (Vicodin, Endone, Kapanol, Proladone, MS Contin, oxycodone) Most of the deaths in the US from drug overdoses were caused by opiates (morphine derivatives). 4 Deadly Pain Med: Acetaminophen (Panadol, Lemsip Tylenol, Dimetapp, Robitussin, Benadryl, Sudafed, Dymadon, Panamax, Codral, Mersyndol, Digesic) Every year, more than 56,000 people visit the emergency rooms due to acetaminophen overdoses. It's the leading cause of acute liver failure, and 450 US deaths per year!
