16,500 die each year from pain relief medication by Dr. Brad Krueger

of the magnitude of the problem.

Furthermore the mortality statistics do not include deaths ascribed

to the use of over-the-counter NSAIDS."

New England Journal of Medicine

The Food and Drug Administration suggests even higher figures,

estimating NSAID use accounts for 10,000 to 20,000 deaths per year

in the United States alone. In spite of this knowledge, little has

been done to notify the public. There has been no large scale

public alert and pharmaceutical companies still market and promote

worldwide sales of these products.

It is important to note that most people have no warning signs that

these drugs are causing internal damage before they end up in the

hospital in serious condition. As the death toll rises annually,

consumers are slowly learning the toxic effects of these

medications and turning to Mother Earth to seek natural and less

toxic alternatives to find relief from pain.
