  • Is there an alternative to using NSAID's?

    A recent report published in Medscpae Today shows that the prolonged use of NSAID's (non steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs) have been shown to cause atrial fibrillation or heart flutter in some recipients. NSAID's encompass non prescribed versions such as Motrin, Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, to prescription versions such as Celebrex, and Vioxx. More and more pepole are using these drugs to reduce pain caused by inflammation. Studies show that a high quality blend of Omega 3 oils derived from small fish can help reduce inflammation and pain as well as the NSAID's without negatively impacting your heart.  When selecting your Omega 3 fish oils, be sure that it contains an adequate amount of EPA and DHA.
