Pain Killers
Dangerous Pain Meds #5:
Salicylates (Aspirin)
Common names: aspirin, acetylsalicylate
Think aspirin is safe? Think again!
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.
Research shows 90-95% of Reye’s Syndrome cases were preceded by taking aspirin. The disease devastates internal organs, particularly the brain and liver, and at least 10% of those affected will die even with early treatment.
Dangerous Pain Meds #4: Acetaminophen
Common names: Tylenol, acetaminophen
Even the "doctor's choice" is disturbingly dangerous to take! Just check out these stats if you don't believe me...
Every year, more than 56,000 people will visit the emergency room due to acetaminophen overdoses. It’s the leading cause of calls to Poison Control Centers.
It’s the leading cause of acute liver failure, causing nearly half of all cases!
Dangerous Pain Meds #3: Opiate-Based Pain Meds
Common names: Vicodin, Lorcet, Norco, Percocet, Percodan, hydrocodone, oxycodone
If you've ever had surgery, a major accident, or any other major trauma to your body... you were likely given an opiate-based pain med to knock out the pain.
Unfortunately, knocking out the pain has it's consequences!
16,000 - That’s the number of people who died in the United States in one year from drug overdoses. Most were caused by opiates.
In 2002... deaths from prescription opiate overdoses had nearly doubled.
Dangerous Pain Medicine #2: NSAIDs
Common names: Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen, naproxen
Do you have some kind of chronic pain? Arthritis... back pain... neck pain... something else?
Chances are you’ve been taking one of the common NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen to deal with the pain.
And speaking of chances...
The odds of dying from taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug after just two months is around 1 in 1,200.
Roughly 16,685 people die each year from NSAID related complications... making them just as dangerous as AIDS!
The biggest known risk of NSAIDs is from gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.
We’re not talking about a little tummy ache here, but severe bleeding and possibly death after the medicine destroys your gut. And that’s not the only known risk.
