Death
According to Canadian researchers, approximately 32,000 hospitalized
patients (and possibly as many as 106,000) in the USA die each
year because of adverse reactions to their prescribed medications.
(Average 1982-1998) Source 1
"Each year, use of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal
Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) accounts for an estimated 7,600 deaths
and 76,000 hospitalizations in the United States." (NSAIDs
include aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, ketoprofen,
and tiaprofenic acid.) (1996) Source 2

Many people have expressed that when they included the natural
supplement
Flex Naturally™ Joint Formula they experienced reduction of
inflammation and pain and improved joint function and mobility
without the negative side effects that drugs produce. |
