Researchers solve the mystery of what really causes RA January 5, 2017

Could the cause of rheumatoid arthritis have just been found? If you or a loved one suffers from this debilitating condition, you’ve probably been told the basics.

The Real story behind the Celebrex 'safety study' November 22, 2016

If you suffer from chronic pain, especially pain from arthritis, your doctor may have given you an Rx for Celebrex. Celebrex is the only “COX-2 inhibitor” left on the market.

FDA approves killer med for toddlers November 16, 2016

As far as horrific drugs are concerned, the blockbuster Enbrel may be the worst of the worst. Enbrel carries a black-box warning for fungal and deadly bacterial infections… and cancer and TB.

The numbers are jaw-dropping: Every day around 78 Americans die from opioid drugs. These aren’t just junkies buying them from a guy on the street corner.
