How in the world could this happen to you?
Certain Meds Trigger Unexpected Heart Attacks
If you have aches and pains, it’s easy enough to reach for a pain killer like Aleve (naproxen), Advil (ibuprofen) or Celebrex (celecoxib). These drugs are classified as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs.
Unfortunately, these drugs also come with a very real heart risk. All of them increase your chances of a heart attack or stroke, even if you don’t have heart disease or any risk factors for it. These problems can occur as early as the first weeks of using an NSAID. And the longer you take the drug, the higher the risk.
Even worse, some of them are linked to sudden cardiac arrest – an abrupt loss of heart function. For example, just one month of ibuprofen use can increase your chance of cardiac arrest by over 30%, even if you have no existing heart problems.
You’re much better off seeking natural pain remedies. A warm Epsom Salt bath is great for relieving general aches and pains. So are topical creams that contain at least .75% capsaicin.
For chronic pain associated with arthritis and back problems, natural substances like green-lipped mussel extract (150 mg daily) and curcumin (1000 mg twice a day) can work wonders to relieve pain and improve function.
The World's Quickest Solution for Ending Prostate and Urinary Misery
This has recently been revealed to be one of the only real breakthroughs in prostate health.
The seeds of a strange fruit (sometimes called "Chinese Apples") hold powerful phytonutrients that are a revolution in prostate health.
In fact, UCLA and Veterans Administration research have now proved this to be true.
Not only that, but it may be the worlds quickest solution for ending prostate misery.
Simply stated, these phytonutrients represent a huge step beyond beta sitosterol, saw palmetto, and other phytosterols alone.

Acupuncture, massage therapy and gentle exercise also play an important role in pain relief.
How Safe are Antacids and Allergy Meds?
If you chronically take heartburn drugs known as proton pump inhibitors, like Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid, you boost your risk of heart attack by up to 21%. Once again, this can happen even if you have no prior history of heart disease. And it crosses all age groups.
If you frequently take these types of drugs, I recommend working with your doctor to find a safer remedy. Taking 500 mg of mastic gum twice a day with 75 mg of zinc carnosine and DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated licorice) for three to four weeks can help while you make the transition.
Cold and allergy meds are also bad for your heart. Especially those that contain pseudoephedrine. These include Sudafed, Tylenol Sinus Severe Congestion, Claritin-D and Advil Allergy Sinus.
Now, pseudoephedrine is the stuff that drug dealers use to make methamphetamine. So it’s not surprising that these decongestants raise your heart rate, increase blood pressure and make your heart beat faster.
These events can all trigger irregular heart rhythm or a heart attack in patients with – and without – heart disease.
The fact of the matter is that decongestants don’t treat allergy, flu or cold symptoms. Rather, they just give you a few moments of relief.
You can effectively treat nasal congestion by regularly flushing your sinuses with a saline solution. There’s actually a tool just for this purpose. It’s called a neti pot. Just fill it up with 8 ounces of distilled or sterilized water, ½ teaspoon of sea salt and a pinch of baking soda, then gently flush your nasal passages.
A steamy shower and drinking hot fluids can also help relieve your stuffy nose. And don’t forget the benefits of good, old-fashioned chicken soup.
The ingredients actually reduce the inflammatory process that triggers the release of mucus. When making your soup, use plenty of organic chicken, onions, sweet potatoes, turnips, carrots, celery, parsnips and other veggies for maximum power.
