Lots of info coming out the last year or so about the use of NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), such as Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin) and Naproxen (Naprosen and Aleve). The list of side effects can be enough to scare you but the long term effects from long term use can literally be lethal.
Liver and kidney damage top the list, but heart and lung problems all make the list, not to mention ulcer conditions and bleeding problems due to the blood thinning effect they have.
However, there are more natural alternatives that, while they may not act as quickly, can have excellent results. Consider going to you natural healthfood store and checking out the varieties of natural anti-inflammatory supplements that include Bromelain, MSM, Boswellia, Turmeric, Papain, Ginger, Cumin, the list goes on with enzyme therapies and types of foods. If you do your research, you find the many of the pills you take, both over the counter and prescription, could be either reduced or eliminated by the right natural supplements, or sometimes just a change in your diet.
