Aloe Vera is useful when taking Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs

Aloeride® Aloe Vera is useful when taking Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs

When you injure yourself and get a painful inflammatory reaction in muscles, tendons or joints, you are likely to be prescribed Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) or you may get some over-the-counter yourself. Per year some 25 million NSAID are prescribed in the UK, some 70 million in the USA and some 10 million in Canada. NSAID are overwhelmingly successful in helping acute and chronic pain. However their use has significant drawbacks: adverse effect on kidneys, asthma gets worse in some people and most importantly NSAID as well as Aspirin cause stomach and duodenal erosions. These can become ulcers, some of which bleed and in some folk who have bleeding ulcers, the bleeding is sufficiently severe to result in hospital admission and may cause death. A US study puts the human impact of NSAID-related gastrointestinal deaths into perspective: the rate is higher than that found from cervical cancer, asthma or malignant melanoma. [G Singh. Recent considerations in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug gastropathy. American Journal of Medicine 1998 105(1B): 31S-38S.] Quite an eye opener by any standards. Good doctors prescribing NSAID try to balance their benefits and harms. So you may get so called gastroprotective medication (e.g. Misoprostol, PPIs and H2RAs) to try and offset the commonest side effect of NSAID. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 Receptor Antagonists (H2RAs) cause acid-suppression. This means there is less acid to irritate the erosion or ulcer. However, this co-medication does not give your body any tools to heal that iatrogenic NSAID-related lesion. It merely forces a lesser irritant during ongoing erosive onslaught. Rather than just lowering acidity, which you actually need for a proper digestion of foods, it would be an extremely sensible approach to take a mucosoprotective agent that accelerates the healing of existing gastroduodenal ulcers and may prevent them in the first place. That specific agent is Aloeride® aloe vera capsules at a minimum of 2 capsules a day. There is plenty of good research to support this approach. [Blitz, J.J.; Smith, J.W.; Gerard, J.R. Aloe Vera Gel in peptic ulcer therapy; Preliminary report. Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. 1963.62.731-735.; Galalee, Kandila, Hegazy E, El Ghoroury M, Gobran W: Aloe Vera and gastrointestinal ulceration, J Drug Res Egypt 7:73-77, 1975.; Gupta MB, Nath R, Gupta GP, Bhargava KP: Antiulcer activity of some plant triterpenoids, Indian J Med Res 73:649-652, 1981.; Kandil A, Gobran W: Protection of gastric mucosa by Aloe Vera, J Drug Res Egypt 11:191-196, 1979.; Koo, M.W.L. Aloe Vera; anti-ulcer and anti-diabetic effects. Phytother Res. 1994. 8(8). 461-464.] In the UK those 25 million prescriptions resulted in 12,000 NSAID-related hospital admissions which resulted in 2,600 deaths. Those 70 million USA prescriptions resulted in 100,000 NSAID-related hospital admissions which result in 16,500 deaths. Now bear in mind that these figures occurred despite doctors being mindful of the harms and co-prescribing gastroprotective medication in line with present medical guidelines. These numbers represent people who thought they would be alright taking NSAID. And these are only the ones that needed hospitalisation, the number of people who actually had symptoms of erosion/ulcers but weren’t seen beyond Primary Care is of course much higher. [statistical data from Bandolier Journal] Alternatives to NSAID come in the form of enteric coated proteolytic enzymes and some of these have a lot of good research behind them. All well and good but for sledgehammer effect NSAID remain unbeaten. So the occurrence of NSAID-related stomach and intestinal erosion/ulceration is unlikely to change and in the famous words of Clint Eastwood (Dirty Harry) you can be asked “Do you feel lucky?” Because for 12,000 people in the UK and 100,000 people in the US it didn’t pan out that well and the families of 2,600 Brits and 16,500 Americans now put one less plate on the dining room table every evening. Excellent analgesics and anti-inflammatories NSAID may be, but there is a price to pay. Present Medical Directive guidelines cause significant cost in human terms as well as in financial terms. In addition to the cost of NSAID themselves, the cost to the National Health Service for NSAID-related gastrointestinal adverse effects is some £331 million in co-prescribing and some £36 million in hospital costs. If you are on NSAID and are feeling slight nausea or abdominal discomfort then you have ulcerative erosion. At this point you can just hope that repair may happen by suppressing acidity or you give your body an (additional) agent that accelerates the healing and may even prevent NSAID-related gastroduodenal ulcers. Aloeride® Aloe Vera is privately prescribed by doctors and therapists but also can be purchased securely via the internet.

Power up your day with Aloe Vera

Power up your day with Aloe Vera

Listed below are some very common situations that we see around us in everyday life.

• It is a bright and sunny day and the world seems to be on a high. Everything and everyone around seems energetic but Alan S. from Staten Island, New York City simply cannot drag himself out of bed. He constantly feels lethargic and nauseated. The gym is the last thing on his mind. And no, Alan is no septuagenarian. He is a 23 year old young man in the prime of his health. What plagues him?

• Betty C. suffers from constant bouts of the common cold. The days when she is completely healthy are far and few in between. Doctors suggest that the problem is with her immune system and it is what makes her prone to constant attacks from bugs and viruses. How can she give her immune system a complete boost?

These are real life cases in which the people involved (names withheld or changed to protect identity) are not suffering from any major illness or ailment. But they are simply not able to enjoy their life to the hilt due to a weak immune system or a lethargy that refuses to leave them no matter what. There are thousands of people like this in the United States alone. The answer to their problems does not lie in drugs and pills that artificially elevate the mood or trigger hormones that do it. Not when there are much safer, much better and much more potent solutions within nature. Yes, I am talking about Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is a plant that needs no introduction. It is a common sight now in millions of homes around the world. It is one of the most beneficial medicinal plants that are loaded with natural minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants.

Harnessing the power of Aloe Vera

Very few people and health companies have been able to harness the power of Aloe Vera to its fullest. Most Aloe Vera supplements available in the market today are either extracted from low grade Aloe Vera species or contain loads of added preservatives and coloring to protect it. Some aloe Vera juices in the market will destroy your taste buds or cause irreparable damage to it (Sorry, I got a bit carried away). The point that I am trying to emphasize is that there is just one product that is completely tasteless and yet delivers all the benefits of Aloe Vera. It is called Aloeride® Aloe Vera.

The magic Pill

Millions of satisfied customers have changed their lives with Aloeride® Aloe Vera. They call it many names and the magic pill is one of them. Aloeride® Aloe Vera is created out of the most potent species of the plant on earth today. It is estimated that one box of Aloeride® Aloe Vera is equivalent to one liter of Aloe Vera juice. It is loaded with molecules that have extremely potent . The key lies in the polysaccharide chains that enhance the vitality of the immune system. A strong immune system in turn protects you from any common ailment that you can catch. It is almost like an invisible wall that you are building against your body. You can fight back infection with ease. Stand up and face the world as Aloeride® Aloe Vera will give you back the confidence and enhance your self esteem.

It’s all about flexibility

Aloeride® Aloe Vera is the second name for flexibility. If you are tired of consuming Aloe Vera juice, then simply pop a pill on the move. On the other hand, if you are tired of popping pills, then simply break it into a glass of water for a delicious natural immune system booster. Click here now to order Aloeride® Aloe Vera.
