Natural Alternatives to Vioxx

Merck knew of the increased risk of stroke from Vioxx even before they sought FDA approval for the drug according to their records. Yet they convinced doctors that the drug was safe and effective, even going so far as to make a video to that effect:

In Training Video, Merck Said Vioxx Did Not Increase Risk of Heart Attack
The training video, shown in court for the first Vioxx lawsuit to reach trial, may undercut Merck's claim that the company properly disclosed Vioxx's risks.

In spite of the risks, many people found good anti-inflammatory effects from the Cox-2 inhibitor class of drugs. Still, death from stroke is a high price to pay for pain releif, especially since the risks are not small. (23,000 documented deaths have occurred from these drugs, and perhaps many more that are not known or attributed). If you were using Vioxx, Bextra or another Cox-2 with success and want to know "what to use now?", I have good news for you.

Wellness Club has introduced an all natural product called Cox-2 Support that is a safe, effective alternative to deadly Cox-2 inhibiting drugs. Please visit our website to review this product and it's ingredients.
