For some years now, scientists have known that the inflammation that triggers arthritis pain is prompted by an enzyme-protein complex called cycloaxygenase-2 (COX-2). They: also know that when COX-2 is inhibited, inflammation and pain are reduced. So here’s the puzzle: Drugs such as Vioxx and Celebrex effectively block COX-2 and bring relief to arthritis patients, but as we’ve seen over the past few weeks, the side effects can have dire, even fatal consequences. The solution is obvious: Inhibit COX-2 without raising heart attack risk, without damaging the liver or kidneys, and without upsetting the digestive tract. Mainstream drugs haven't solved this problem, but there are natural alternatives that reduce swelling and pain through the same or alternative biochemical pathways. 3 prominent examples are: acids or fish oil) are the precursors to the bodies natural anti-inflamitories. Make more anti-inflamitories yourself and eliminate the need for painkillers. 2. Enteric coated proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain and papain are important in maintaining the equilibrium between clotting and clot lysis (clot-busting), speeding tissue repair. 3. Spices such as ginger and red pepper and foods such as onions and garlic inhibit COX pathways, reducing swelling the same way NSAIDS do’ without the side effects. If you are looking for a Doctor who can help you put together the pieces with well- documented scientifically sound ways to reduce swelling and pain without drugs, you just found him. Please call for an appointment with Dr. Madeira today. Nelson CF, Metz D, Legoratta A, LaBrot T.
