hello this is doctor ron toned junior in in this video we were talking about
naproxen and basically we're going to talk about everything we need to know
before taking this medication so
will first talk about what uh... medication doesn't how it works
will talk about combat any drug interactions that may take place so you
know for example there's any other medications you're taking automation at
it's not going to act with those
we'll talk about any interactions with other nutritional supplements it will
also talk about some natural alternatives that you can take if u are
are one of those people that likes to
look at those types of things
so they can work with let's talk about what naproxen first of all it's a
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
and more commonly referred to these is and sets
and basically the common names of naproxen and would include all leave
in approx
uh... that pearl amit and epperson sophie on any of those medications
that's what you're taking
they use for an approximate status use relieve pain tenderness swelling in
stiffness caused by osteoarthritis
rheumatoid arthritis juvenile arthritis and enclosing spotlight is and if you're
not familiar with what that is that's basically just another form of arthritis
where
the uh... motley mats in the front or the back to the spine will start to
develop towson deposits there no
cues responded either eventually
it's also use for shoulder burr siders tendinitis gadi arthritis muscle pain
headaches muscle aches to takes back pain and fever
so there's definitely a number of different uses for this medication
in the way networks is it actual affleck
affect the inflammatory process and that the way that it does that is by blocking
an enzyme called cyclooxygenase
which is an enzyme that produces *** wind and snow understand that
you know this is chemistry so it may sound a little bit out to you but i'm
gonna show you a picture in a minute just explain how this actually works
uh... what close to the womens are those their chemicals there produced by the
body
during an inflammatory response and they're responsible for causing you pain
so with this message this medication naproxen works by blocking that process from
taking place
let's talk first permit bout what information actually is and i will talk
about how the drug works
whenever you have an injury and was may happen is that those tissues that are
affected are going to tere
and inside the wall of yourselves you have this thing called a rack atomic
acid
so if the cells are actually
danger damage
director donna kaz is going to be released into the bloodstream and then
what happens is that your body has to get rid of that somehow
and the way that it does as my breaking that chemical down
when it breaks it down what happens is that the body produces this thing called
prosecco and ends
and possible an answer what cause all of the pain in the swelling and all the
information that takes place after an injury that you experience
now once you think i wanna put out here's the record i guess it doesn't
just
developed because of an injury this can also be something that's a chronic
inflammatory in process within the system
and what they've actually found is that
over time it if u lives in this type of the situation for too long
um a build-up of iraqi tonic acid and by the development of the inflammatory
process throughout the body can actually to other
more serious health problems such as heart disease cancers
lung diseases and that sort of thing
so
in death situation however but the reason the erect a record i guess is
being produces not because of cell damage or chemistry and injured area
but it's usually related to your diet so we'll talk about that a little bit also
but basically what's uh... this medication naproxen does
is it blocks these enzymes that are designed to break down a record on ic
acid
and uh... that's why the prosecution pasta claimants are not produced
in-depth so with medication actually works here
now with the recommended dosage is what i'm going to do it is i'm going to have
this written out for you in an article in at the end of this video i'll give
you you website link that you can go to were all this is written out for you so
we don't have to go through the great detail
one thing i do want to point out is that with approx in
hewlett did i want to take it longer than ten days at a time and there's a
very important reason for that
we talk about the side effects of this medication that's when this is all going
to make sense so
this is not a medications designed it for you to be on for the long term
if you take it for fever
you don't want to take it more than three days of the few purcell purc that
persists after three days then you need to contact your doctor about that
because there's something wrong in that case
now the drug interactions contraindications is actually quite a
few
and on their article that i'm going to redirect you to attend this video i'll
have all of these list out for you the basically there's a couple of types of
medications that will interact with naproxen
and typically you're looking at heart medications so for example
medications for blood pressure
medications for hard it with me us
cholesterol medications will interact with approximate
um... lithium is another one in lithium is actually medication issues for people
who have bipolar disorder
um... and also anti-coagulant so things like work for an
if you have any problem with blood clotting then tip of the best
medications are going to give you
and that will also met with the process you cannot mix the two together
the other tech medications at lower act with these are other pain relieving
medications so things like
ibuprofen
um you know or cortical steroids for example interact with this medications
he had to be really careful
the you're not taking those with
this medication as well
um... there's some other ones phrasal methotrexate which is used for
rheumatoid arthritis evelyn arrived as well
anti-depressants
and there's also a number of nutritional supplements that will interact with this
medication also
and that the big issue with nutritional supplements is that
when you take them in combination with this medication it actually increase the
risk of internal bleeding which a very serious side effects that can actually
till you see day to be real careful about this
as you can see
the list of nutritional supplements that will interact with approx is actually
quite large
and like i said i'm going to have all this fuss about for you and the articles
that you can review these
and you'll see what they're used for it if you're taking a any of them make sure
that you're aware that you do not want to be mixing these if you're taking
approx as well
now the naproxen side effects there's quite a few however
herbal we want to talk about first of the most serious ones
people who take approximate have a higher risk of developing a heart attack
or stroke
and this is especially true if you're a smoker
or if you take it for a long period of time in a remember what i was saying
earlier that you don't take any more than ten days of the time
so that's not a medication that you want to take on a regular basis that's for
this reason
is also a higher risk if you have a family history of heart disease high
blood pressure
the other side effect that can be very serious is ulcers in the digestive
system
being depleting from that and also develops holes in the stomach or
intestines
and is especially true if you're boulder or if you drink more than three classes
of alcohol per day so it's a really good idea that if you're taking this
medication do not drink with that
end one other to collecting t_v_ here because a lot of times you can develop
ulcers or bleeding in the small there in the m digestive tract
and he won't develop any painter symptoms from that
one thing you can do those when you go to the bathroom
and when you have a bowel movement
we look at the store the comes out if you see that it's a dark black color
deaths a sign that the you accept leading a special in the upper g_i_
tract which is the stomach in the small intestine
because what that is that's actually quite a blood
this being released within your system so if you see that jet society you need
to talk to doctor right away
and indeed needed top stop taking this medication
it in lead to another a number of other side effects also such as poland
problems like diarrhea constipation and gas
source in the mouth excessive thirst headache
dizziness
um... all these things can come from taking approximate and i'll have the
complete list for you in the article just like we discussed just a minute ago
now there are some alternatives to taking approximately
obviously what we want to do is we want to address the inflammatory process
because guess what this medication is working on
out of everything that i've ever seen in my practice experience with patients
the one thing that i found to be the most effective for dealing with pain
that warrants inflammation is ice and heat
however you have to know when to use these annie have to use them properly
now because this medication is primarily taken for patients who have arthritic
conditions
and that's half of the case heat is usually going to be best but there's a
little tests and they have you do
in order to find out which was the best option for use of the you do this right
because if you do this wrong you can actually make the pain worse
so here's what you want to do first of all
you want to go ahead and start with ice and the reason i says because if you
have an injury
and you're thinking of taking this medication
usually ice is going to be the best option for you
and here's the way do you do that you wanted use realize
so go ahead this kid a bag you fill it with ice from your freezer
don't you substitute such as frozen vegetables or ice packs ranting about
matri one ease realize
and the reason we recommend that you do that is because
ice will actually maintain
the same temperature throughout the entire treatment and that's really
important
then you want to put a towel over the affected area and the pat i strictly on
there
leave the ice on for fifteen min minutes maximum
or until you feel numbness in the area whichever comes first
taking off for an hour and then repeat
dice treatment again and you want to do that as many times during the days you
possibly can
what we're going to do those who want to test this want to see how you feel with
it so once you've done the ice treatment three or four times
stop and see how you feel
if you feel better go ahead and stick with the ice
if it feels about the same norfolk feels worse now you're going to discontinue
the ice and you're going to use heat instead and typically
especially if you join was something like arthritis
a dry heat is going to feel better to use so
basically what that means that if you just get an electric heating pad a from
any drugstore yes he she will work best for you
now with the here and i found the same roles in one of her time for fifteen
minutes
take it off for an hour
and then repeated every single our
as long as you're having symptoms
if the ice does intel perfect makes it worse to come to the heat is going to
make you feel a lot better one of the other usually works but don't mix the
two
and i i know i'm sayin a lot to give me a lot of information in this video
and
that was probably a lot stardust there so
if you go to that page that i'm gonna give you in a little bit
if you look to the left of the video i have a free e-book by offer for my
customers
and in their hum i have all of the details about how to do this high speed
test written out for you so you can follow along with it a little bit easier
there
the next alternative in this actually really good option of something called
pro deal lytic and signs
now these are not the enzymes that you think about when you think about
protesting food
these are enzymes that
will pass through blood stream they'll go to be inflamed area
and what they do is they will actually breakdown all those chemicals are being
produced
like the record i kasa
but they do in a natural way so that you don't experience the pain
like you do if you have the cost of lands that are developing
um... there's one brand in particular that i really really recommend and it's
called hugh and susan
and if you go to that article but i'm gonna give you a link to eliminate
you'll see that i have a link there that how you can go to to find out more about
you and see if the deaths and my mind the best one
uh... the next thing you can do something called probiotics and you can
find this have any health food store
but what you want to do it if your inflamed is you want to take four times
the recommend amount on the bottle per day
and what that will do is something very similar salsa can help to break down
those inflammatory chemicals that you get pain relief more quickly
the next thing you want to do is take vitamin d three
but you want to take it and up at a higher doses i'm what i'm recommends he
take twenty thousand international units per day
now i realize that that sounds like a lot however
uh... when you get this at the health food store you'll see that there is
little tiny tablets adjusted for those tablets per day
and uh... so it's really it's really not quite a bit but
the reason we're taking this is such a high dosages because
vitamin d three if it dose it or actors and as a strong anti-oxidant
and when that your body is going to an inflammatory process
it'll produce something called free radicals
now free radicals are kinda scary because those are the things that
are known to cause different types of cancers
so we want to get rid of those who want to break those down and that's what the
vitamin d will do for you if you take it at that higher dosage
now if you have a chronic inform inflammatory conditions so for example
is
if you're dealing with
an arthritic condition that and you've had it for a number of years
or let's say you do have one of the situations that we talked about earlier
such as heart disease cancer
lung diseases
um another thing in this group would be things like allergies asthma that sort
of thing
if you're doing with the chronic inflammatory condition then that we need
to look at your diet and obviously this is never a fun thing to talk about
because we all love our food haha
that um... these are the things the in need to do if you're looking to address
that
first and most important thing is to eliminate all sugar from your diet and i
can't stress this enough
if you do nothing else i'm going to talk about in this video this is the one
thing i would encourage you to do because sugar
uh... stimulatory to the inflammatory processes but basically eight or make it
worse
and you're gonna feel a lot worse but if you stop having a shirt in your diet
you'll feel better more quickly
the next thing you want to do is to eliminate white flour from your diet so
white bread
pastas
that sort of thing
in a couple of fun
to follows this if you're reading a label on a food item at a grocery store
and if it has more than six grams of carbs i would'nt eat it because
the carbohydrates actually what will stimulate the inflammatory process
and also the chemicals are used to process the flower
nor great white flour see one of with those things
the next thing you want to do is to increase your fruits and vegetables
might have a little trick with this because i know that
for a lot of people but this is one of the hardest things to do because many
people just don't like to eat fruits and vegetables
so what i have is
i actually have found a product value personally use every day is called the
new trouble it
and basically what it is it's it's a special type of a blender
but you make buffered invests will drink with said and it has a special blade
audit that will actually
bring out all the natural nutrients and vitamins that you find within the fruits
and vegetables
so your body can absorb it more easily
now this is really important because if you're getting all the nutrients from
their fruits and vegetables and if you're getting all the fiber
number one the nutrients are going to helped to cleanse your system
and the fibers also going to help you go to the bathroom a little bit more easily
so they're really really cleanses you
and it will help reduce that inflammatory process that we bring
talking about streets video
now what i do the financial board as i make a drink everyday and what i put in
their spinach apple
pair
pineapple and banana
and that she is designed to cleanse your body
but if your going through an inflammatory process you trying to
reduce inflammation
which you also want to do is to add an inch of fresh ginger root because that
will act as a natural anti-inflammatory
and it will work a lot better for you in that case
if you're dealing with a prom it's been there for a long time
and it's a more serious type of the commission of what i would recommend
that you do street two of those pretty to one in the morning and one at night
and if you just try to maintain your health like what i'm doing that he just
wanted you want to do it
okay
pounds that pretty much covers everything about approximate and some of
the alternatives so you can look into
if you'd like more information or if you want all of those details lights that
would be written out for you
