Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I wanted to pass this along... My husband has arthritis, plus other joint pain due to injuries years ago. He was put on Celebrex about 5 years ago. It worked well. But.....reports came out last year about the heart problems associated with it. I personally know TWO people who have died while on Celebrex....and with the exact same symptoms reported.....bleeding in the heart. It seemed too coincidental. So.....he stopped Celebrex late last year. The pain and discomfort returned. So......I put him on two 550 mg. GINGER ROOT CAPSULES a day. It took almost 7-8 weeks, but the Ginger finally built up in his system....and it works. He reports that he feels just as good on 2 Ginger capsules as he did on Celebrex. One note, though. I am also on GINGER ROOT CAPSULES 550 mgs, but only ONE tablet. It nearly TOTALLY erases my tendonitis pain!! When I tried two last year, it gave me daily palpitations. (It's also why I wasn't able to use the Colon Cleanse last summer--it had Ginger and I was still taking the capsule myself.) I have MVP, so the Ginger probably aggravated it. But do understand that I CAN tolerate one capsule. GINGER ROOT really works as a pain suppressant. Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
