This broadcast was live on Friday.  Discussion of Hepatitis C, Sovaldi prescription and alternatives.

Fast Forward to the 114 to begin the discussion with Lloyd.

(NaturalNews) I find it very telling that in a nation where almost half the adult population is overweight or obese, U.S. Senators would waste time unleashing an Orwellian "thought crimes" attack against Doctor Oz over his advocacy of natural weight loss supplements. Apparently, the idea that a national health TV personality might actually seek to help the American people get healthier with supplements, not drugs, is simply intolerable in the U.S. capitol.

Is there an alternative medicine for celebrex?

Celebrex (celecoxib) belongs to a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.

Celebrex is prescribed for the relief of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and and for the management of acute pain in adults.  Many people consider switching to a Celebrex alternative because they are concerned about the possible risks of using COX-2 inhibitors. Often, people assume that other NSAIDs (including non-prescription NSAIDs) are safer. However, it is important to remember that all NSAIDs have been linked to cardiovascular events, such as heart attack or stroke.

Since the use of Celebrex and many of the non-prescription NSAIDs alternatives only treat the symptoms and pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis; one alternative to Celebrex that is often overlooked are natural supplements that affect the health issues that cause this pain and inflammation.

(NaturalNews) The financial raping of America by Big Pharma has just achieved a new milestone with the impending launch of a Hepatitis C drug that costs $1,000 a pill. If you've ever wondered why U.S. health care is so unaffordable and inaccessible -- and why health insurance costs are bankrupting businesses and municipalities across the nation -- this is exactly why. The same drug that sells for $1,000 a pill in the USA -- named "Sovaldi" -- sells for just $10 in Egypt, or 1/100th the USA price.
