News About the Type 2 Diabetes Drug Avandia

Studies continue to try to dive into the cause and cure for type 2 diabetes and the drug once thought to be a major breakthrough for type 2 diabetes, Avandia, is coming under a lot of significant study and skepticism.

Health Canada is currently claiming that the deaths of six Canadians are "very likely" linked to the Type 2 Diabetes drug Avandia, which of course raises concerns about whether the potential detrimental effects of the drug are worth the risks. Other studies on the drug Avandia indicate that it may be linked to a much higher risk of heart attack in certain patients, according to reports in the respected New England Journal of Medicine. To support this study, Health Canada says that 28 Canadians who had been taking Avandia for type 2 diabetes had suffered heart attacks since being introduced to the drug Avandia in 2000. In the US, there have been 19 confirmed reports of heart attacks from US citizens who have been taking Avandia.

While this is not a lot of people based on the number of total people taking Avandia, the number is statistically significant, and people taking a drug for one ailment should not be "e encouraging" another, potentially life-threatening disorder. More clinical study is needed, but the evidence exists that there is probably a connection between the heart attacks and Avandia. While the studies do not conclusively prove that Avandia is the culprit and Avandia has definitely been ruled out in some of the heart attack cases, there are strong signs that it is a factor in the majority of the cases.

A review published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicates multiple studies on the drug Avandia which indicate a higher risk of heart attack in approximately 43% of patients who take the drug.

The pharmaceutical firm GlaxoSmithKline PLC manufactures Avandia. To add to their problems, the Food and Drug Administration has declined to grant a priority review to their newest experimental cancer vaccine Cervarix, which serves to add pressure to the company with the current controversy surrounding their manufacture of Avandia. The Avandia family of drugs manufactured by Glaxo includes Avandamet and Avandaryl, which showed sales last year of well over a billion dollars. This makes the Avandia family of drugs the second best selling drug after the company's Advair product which is for asthma treatment.

While Glaxo claims that the reported incidents of heart attack are "statistically the same" for Avandia patients as those patients who are on other anti-diabetes drugs, it remains clear that further research and study is required before these drugs can be claimed safe and effective for treating what they were designed to treat.

Zyprexa Plaintiffs Obtain "No Risk" Lawsuit Loans to Bridge ...

"No one pays much attention to how a person who has been injured is going to live while waiting for a case to settle, the legal system tends to put people who cannot afford to wait for their money at a disadvantage."

- Boston Bar Association Ethics Committee Chairman, Gerry Cohen

With these words millions of U.S. consumers every year find out 1st hand the truthfulness of Mr. Cohen's assessment of the legal system; but who more so than the thousands who have suffered tragically at the hands of Ely Lillies drug Zyprexa.

"Zyprexa ruined my life" describes litigant Merrit Salyer who will be one of the first to receive a lump sum settlement in the new 700 million dollars settlement launched last Thursday by multi-billion dollar corporate giant Eli Lilly, manufacturer of Zyprexa. The “extreme hardship I suffered from Zyprexa in both physical & mental suffering, well all I can say is Zyprexa stole my health and it nearly killed me, as I spent 2 weeks in a trauma unit from diabetic ketoacidosis where I almost died and now I live with a lifetime of complications diabetes has left me with” says Salyer of his brief 2 month encounter with Zyprexa.

The costs injured plaintiffs sustain are far more than the actual pain and suffering, as Salyer states, “injuries affect everything including your standard of living, you just can’t maintain the same earnings. Then throw in future credit and borrowing and you begin to know the real long term side effects no one takes into consideration and that's why injured plaintiffs need help in many areas to recover."

Is there a solution? 1st Choice Funding offers Zyprexa plaintiffs many and one is by offering cash in hand now, when Zyprexa plaintiffs need it most vs. when settlement finally occurs. The program is called "No Win ...No Pay... No Risk" Lawsuit Loans and this innovative program puts Zyprexa litigants in the position to receive cash prior to settlement with no credit, employment, monthly payments, collateral, or risk no matter how long Zyprexa settlement takes.

"No Win...No Pay... No Risk" Lawsuit Loans are unheard of from traditional banking approaches to lending money conventional lenders agree. “1st Choice Funding’s Lawsuit Loans aren’t really loans at all and that’s why conventional approaches aren’t how we make determinations for funding” said 1st Choice Funding company president Timothy S. Gray, “lawsuit loans are what consumers call them but in reality what they are advances made on future settlement, and that’s something conventional lenders just don’t understand.”

What does Zyprexa victim Salyer think of the opportunity to get cash now vs. the lengthy settlement period ahead for the plaintiffs? Salyer says with conviction, "It's about time Zyprexa did something good for us, I think it's a great program and I recommend it to everyone in the financial need my family and I are in, it's really been a god send for us"

Not only those with injuries from Zyprexa can obtain financial releif today as 1st Choice Funding's resources provide "No Win...No Pay...No Risk" Lawsuit Loans for all these case types;

Did You Know That High Blood Pressure Can Be Treated Without the ...

Can High Blood Pressure Be Treated Without The Need For Drugs?

Orthodox medical Doctors make 4 mistakes when it comes to treating patients with high blood pressure. For that matter, whether it's a cardiovascular problem like high blood pressure or any disease related illness, these 4 mistakes always persist.

The 4 Mistakes That Orthodox Medical Doctors Make

1. The symptoms are the cause of illness.

No! Symptoms are only the manifestations of the root cause: Symptoms are knock on effects or warning signs...

2. They pay no real attention to diet and exercise.

3. They practically ignore the mind/spirit connection and its influences on health.

4. Very little or no consideration is given to water and its pharmacological role.

How does the above fit into the orthodox medical approach when it comes to treating high blood pressure? What are the alternative naturopathic solutions and how well do they work?

These are very important questions, since the Journal of the American Medical Association (Oct. 2002; 288: 1882-1888) reported that middle-aged or older people in the USA have a 90% chance of developing high blood pressure.

First, lets consider how it could be for someone suffering from high blood pressure. He/she may be overweight or feeling worn out and sluggish, dehydrated, or not breathing well... So the doctor prescribes the pills: Lotensin, Mevacor, Cardizem, Procardia...etc, any of these to normalize the blood pressure. As time goes by, months then years, side effects manifest as a consequence of the pills. -How?

Well, without going into a long-winded harangue it basically goes like this:

Remember the above 4 mistakes. Because pills only treat the symptoms, the underlying root-cause is ignored and yes, it still persists. Due to a history of bad diet or a lack of exercise or stress, the inner walls of the patient's arteries are lined with plaque. This results in a narrowing of the arteries. What does orthodox medicine do? Instead of getting to the root-cause by permanently unblocking the arteries, the blood pressure lowering drugs reduce the activity of the heart so that the blood pressure gage reads normal.

-What are the consequences of this quick fix? Remember, the heart is now less active, and because the walls of the arteries are narrow and the blood pressure is normalized, like any tube supplying liquid with a smaller lumen (the space inside), the outflow is restricted. This means that the blood supply from the heart to the target organs in the body is restricted. Because the oxygen demands from the target organs are not met due to this lack of blood supply, a whole range of illnesses can result. On the long-term this could include: a weaker heart, degeneration of other organ tissue and lung congestion, which ultimately could result in death.

Other reported side effects due to the above blood pressure lowering drugs include headaches, dizzy spells, queasiness, cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), low blood pressure, sexual dysfunction, mood swings, depression, memory loss and changes in personality...

Another orthodox medical approach is angioplasty, where an operation is performed to unblock the arteries and allow blood to flow more freely again. However, because it is only a quick fix, treating the symptom, in many cases re-occlusion (narrowing of the arteries through plaque returning) occurs.

Surgeons Oh Those Heralded Heroes!

I'm sure there was a time in your life when you were told stories about surgeons and how great they were with their life-saving operations... Here's the truth about heart bypass surgery. The overall survival rate for patients post-operation is no different than those who chose to do nothing at all! (New England Journal of Medicine May 22, 1997 and American of Journal Cardiology June 1998). Notice I took the trouble to reference 2 studies. There are many others that document the same findings. Other studies show that there is a 13% chance that these patients will die on the operating table (Dr Tim O'Shea 2007).

Well, what do you expect? If you only treat the symptoms with temporary house-cleaning methods the problem, plaque growth on the inner walls of the arteries, will return. And as for those with coronary bypass surgery, an unblocking of the arteries that supply the heart with blood, what about all the other arteries in their body? Why should they be any different? Guess what condition these arteries will be in?

What Are The Alternatives?

The first thing to realize is that in order for a patient to be cured, the root-cause of the high blood pressure needs to be addressed. The root-cause can be addressed effectively by lowering high blood pressure through natural approaches. -This indeed is in line with effectively correcting the above 4 mistakes that doctors make.

Find out about these natural solutions that get to the root-cause and very effectively lower high blood pressure in my follow up article 'Lowering High Blood Pressure The Natural Way.' -If you suffer from high blood pressure this information might just save your life!

Cymbalta Fibromyalgia Treatments For Depression

Cymbalta, which is an antidepressant, is believed to reduce depression and is also considered to be a possible benefit to women suffering from Fibromyalgia. This illness, which is still considered rare even though it affects millions of Americans, affects more women and men. Even though the cause of it remains unknown, Fibromyalgia is a growing problem that many are forced to cope with on a daily basis. A Cymbalta Fibromyalgia treatment is designed to help treat both the emotional and physical symptoms of depression. In general, individuals who are dealing with a chronic illness often become depressed and sometimes turn to the world of medicine for assistance.

It is important to note that Cymbalta is not approved for the treatment of Fibromyalgia, but studies have found that it could be beneficial in depression. Because it is thought to help treat depression, which is often the result of a chronic illness, some experts believe that there are benefits that coincide with this illness and a Cymbalta Fibromyalgia treatment.

Cymbalta Fibromyalgia treatments can cause various side effects with the most common being nausea, constipation, dry mouth, decreased appetite, etc. Cymbalta is not for everyone, especially to those who are allergic to it's ingredients. In addition, individuals with liver or kidney problems, have been diagnosed with glaucoma or consume large amounts of alcohol should speak with their physician prior to taking Cymbalta. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not take Cymbalta and should make their physician aware of any conditions prior to accepting any type of prescription.

Prior to accepting any type of prescription medication, individuals must make sure that their physician is made fully aware of any medicines that are currently being consumed and/or any current illnesses. In order to safely provide treatments, a physician must be made fully aware of the circumstances surrounding the patient's health.

Patients who are being treated for depression should be monitored closely in order to ensure that the depression does not worsen or become increasingly dangerous to the patient. Individuals who are severely depressed may require hospitalization and extended care beyond that which a prescription-based medicine can offer. Anyone who feels that their depression is worsening should consult their physician for a proper diagnosis and a recommended treatment course.

The information in this article is to be used for informational purposes only. It should not be used in place of, or in conjunction with, professional medical advice. Anyone with questions regarding a Cymbalta Fibromyalgia treatment must consult their physician for further information.

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Review

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly prescribed categories of drugs worldwide in the treatment of pain and inflammation in many conditions.

NSAIDs are used primarily to treat inflammation, mild to moderate pain, and fever. Specific uses include the treatment of headaches, arthritis, sports injuries, and menstrual cramps. Aspirin is used to inhibit the clotting of blood and prevent strokes and heart attacks in individuals at high risk. NSAIDs also are included in many cold and allergy preparations. Two drugs in this category, ibuprofen and naproxen, also reduce fever.

Uses

NSAIDs are usually indicated for the treatment of acute or chronic conditions where pain and inflammation are present. These drugs also are effective in some neuropathic pain syndromes when used with other analgesics. NSAIDs are generally indicated for the symptomatic relief of the following conditions:

• Rheumatoid arthritis


• Osteoarthritis


• Acute gout


• Inflammatory arthropathies (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, Reiter's syndrome)


• Dysmenorrhoea (painful menstruation)


• Headache and migraine


• Postoperative pain


• Mild-to-moderate pain due to inflammation and tissue injury


• Back pain and sciatica.


• Sprains, strains, and rheumatism.


• Dental pain.


• Pain from kidney stones (renal colic).


• To reduce fever


• Other painful conditions, especially where there is inflammation.

Drugs In The Class

There are several different types of NSAIDs:

• Salicylates: aspirin (Ascriptin, Bayer, Ecotrin), diflunisal (Dolobid, Diflunisal Tablets), salsalate (Argesic SA, Disalcid, Salflex, Salsitab, Mono Gesic)


• Arylalkanoic acids: diclofenac (Voltaren, Cataflam), indomethacin (Indocin)


• 2-Arylpropionic acids (profens): ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), ketoprofen (Orudis, Oruvail), naproxen (Naprosyn, Alleve), carprofen


• Pyrroles: ketorolac (Toradol)


• Enolic acids (oxicams): piroxicam (Feldene), meloxicam (Mobic)


• Sulphonanilides: nimesulide


• Napthylalkanones: nabumetone (Relafen)

Mechanism Of Action

NSAIDs work by suppressing the production of fatty acids called prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain. They do this by blocking the action of an enzyme, cyclooxygenase (COX). This enzyme is responsible for converting precursor acids into prostaglandins.

In the periphery NSAIDs work by decreasing the sensitivity of the nociceptor to painful stimuli induced by heat, trauma, or inflammation. In the central nervous system, they are thought to function as antihyperalgesics and block the increased transmission of repetitive incoming signals to higher centers. In effect, they modulate perception of pain caused by repetitive stimulation from the periphery.

Differences Between NSAIDs

NSAIDs vary in their potency, duration of action, and the way in which they are eliminated from the body. Another important difference is their ability to cause ulcers and promote bleeding. The more an NSAID blocks Cox-1, the greater is its tendency to cause ulcers and promote bleeding.

Choice of NSAID for chronic and disabling inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis is governed by age, diagnosis, degree of severity, relative gastrointestinal safety, tolerability, and relative efficacy in the given clinical situation. It is a common misconception that all NSAIDs are therapeutically equally efficacious and any one of them could be used for the given indication. Use of multiple NSAIDs should be discouraged. An agent with comparatively less gastrointestinal (GI) side effects like ibuprofen and diclofenac should be preferred in place of indomethacin, piroxicam, or naproxen, which are more gastrotoxic. In conditions where diagnosis is uncertain, the medicine should be empirically chosen and given for a week or so and if the response is adequate it should be continued until side effects mandate its withdrawal. Ankylosing spondylitis responds better to a particular NSAID like indomethacin. It is probably related to its stronger inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.

Aspirin is a unique NSAID, not only because of its many uses, but because it is the only NSAID that is able to inhibit the clotting of blood for a prolonged period (4 to 7 days). This prolonged effect of aspirin makes it an ideal drug for preventing the blood clots that cause heart attacks and strokes. Most other NSAIDs inhibit the clotting of blood for only a few hours.

The major NSAIDs of potency comparable to opioids are diclofenac and ketorolac. Moderate postoperative pain, for example, may be managed using these agents. The overall analgesic effect of 30 mg of ketorolac is equivalent to that of 6 to 12 mg of morphine. Efficacy has been demonstrated for postsurgical pain including oral, orthopedic, gynecologic, and abdominal procedures. Efficacy for acute musculoskeletal pain has also been shown. Ketorolac causes ulcers more frequently than any other NSAID and is, therefore, not used for more than five days.

Naproxen provides effective relief in acute traumatic injury and for acute pain associated with migraine, tension headache, postoperative pain, postpartum pain, pain consequent to various gynecologic procedures, and the pain of dysmenorrhea.

Possible Side Effects

NSAIDs are associated with a number of side effects. The two main adverse drug reactions, associated with NSAIDs relate to gastrointestinal effects and renal effects of the agents. These effects are dose-dependent, and in many cases severe enough to pose the risk of ulcer perforation, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and death, limiting the use of NSAID therapy.

• Gastrointestinal adverse reactions. The most common risk of NSAIDs is that they can cause ulcers and other problems in your esophagus, stomach, or small intestine. Common gastrointestinal side effects include: nausea, dyspepsia, vomiting, diarrhea, gastric ulceration/bleeding. Risk of ulceration increases with duration of therapy, and with higher doses. To help protect the stomach, NSAIDs should always be taken with food or directly after a meal.


• High Blood Pressure and Kidney Damage. NSAIDs reduce the blood flow to the kidneys, which makes them work more slowly. When your kidneys are not working well, fluid builds up in your body. The more fluid in your bloodstream, the higher your blood pressure. If you take NSAIDs in high doses, the reduced blood flow can permanently damage your kidneys.


• Allergic Reactions. NSAIDs can also cause extreme allergic reactions. People with asthma are at a higher risk for experiencing serious allergic reaction to NSAIDs. Many specialists recommend that people who have asthma stay away from any NSAID, especially if they have sinus problems or nasal polyps.

Use of aspirin in children and teenagers with chicken pox or influenza has been associated with the development of Reyes's syndrome. Therefore, aspirin and nonaspirin salicylates (e.g. salsalate) should not be used in children and teenagers with suspected or confirmed chicken pox or influenza.

Indomethacin, ketoprofen and piroxicam appear to have the highest prevalence of gastrointestinal adverse drug reactions, while ibuprofen (lower doses) and diclofenac appear to have lower rates.

Serious side effects are especially likely with one nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, phenylbutazone. Patients of age 40 and over are especially at risk of side effects from this drug, and the likelihood of serious side effects increases with age.

Precautions And Contraindications

NSAIDs cannot be used in the following cases:

• Allergy to aspirin or any NSAID


• Aspirin should not be used under the age of 16 years


• During pregnancy


• During breast feeding


• On blood thinning agents (anticoagulants)


• Suffering from a defect of the blood clotting system (coagulation)


• Active peptic ulcer

Cost

Numerous NSAIDs are available as generics: diclofenac, etodolac, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, indomethacin, ketoprofen, meclofenamate, naproxen, piroxicam, sulindac, and tolmetin. Only meloxicam (brand name: Mobic), nabumetone (Relafen), and oxaprozin (Daypro) are available by brand name only. Generic medications may be an equally effective and less expensive treatment option.


Conclusions

All NSAIDs are similarly effective. The choice of which NSAID to try first is usually empiric. If one doesn't provide adequate pain control, try switching to another. All NSAIDS when used chronically can be associated with the development of ulcers. Differences in adverse effects seem to exist between different NSAIDs. Follow with your doctor closely and watch for signs or symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding such as stomach pain and blood in the stools. Some NSAIDs are available in extended-release formulations that require less frequent dosing.
