natural_supplementsAre more people turning to “do it yourself” health care because of lack of confidence in doctors, high prescription costs and a new-found interest in natural supplements and alternative treatments?

You bet they are.

And there are plenty of reasons why it’s on the rise.

Flexcin was featured, as well as Flexcin customer, Steven Smith, in the report showing the rise of DIY health care and alternative therapies in the Denver, CO., region. Check out the video report:

According to Steven and many others, Flexcin is a great alternative for people who either can’t afford the high cost of prescriptions but also those who have grown tired of the side effects of traditional prescription medications. The quicker people can get back to living a healthy lifestyle, the happier they’ll be in overall enjoyment.

What’s more, people are opting for all-natural vitamins and supplements, like Flexcin, as well as homeopathic and other alternative treatments as a way to avoid expensive surgeries that sometimes may be avoided altogether.

Insurance has also become a leading issue for many who fall in this category of DIY health care. Everyone knows the situation the insurance industry finds itself in, as well as the millions of Americans who can’t find affordable insurance plans. And even for those who do have insurance, premiums have skyrocketed and it’s often difficult to get in to see your doctor in a timely manner.

Alternative treatments aren’t just for aches and pains, either. From people coping with Diabetes to people living with autism, there are all kinds of alternative options now surfacing that can provide help and even relieve symptoms.

An increasing number of holistic medicine practitioners are also coming onto the scene as a way to combat chronic pain clinics that only exist to serve as pill mills. Holistic doctors work with patients and focus as much time on finding the source of the root pain as they also provide options and alternatives as a way to treat, reduce and minimize the pain.

These holistic doctors warn against the dangerous and sometimes harsh effects of over-the-counter and prescription pain medicines, including disruption to a natural digestive system and, more seriously, addiction to the medications themselves.

Have you tried alternative medicines and/or holistic treatments for your aches and pains? Share your experience below.

Flexcin International has a variety of products in addition to Flexcin the joint pain supplement. We also have a product for pet joint pain, called FlexPet. Watch this video about Chupita, the chihuahua, and learn how FlexPet helped her with her canine arthritis in the leg. Chupita, who’s 13, wasn’t expected to make a recovery. She was limping and had a hard time using her back leg. Chupita’s owner came across FlexPet and tried it out. To her surprise it completely stopped the limping and Chupita is enjoying life!

This story ran on WUSA 9, a CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C.

jeff_westromJeff Westrom is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his advertising company, J.W. Morton & Associates this month… and he’s doing it with a whole new lease on life. He describes himself as a sculptor at heart, a woodworker at home, and someone who would rather be on his feet than sitting at a computer. He says the further a project gets from 8 1/2 x 11, the happier he is. But just over a year ago, sitting at a computer was about all Jeff could do without feeling the pain. He was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, a condition that many times comes hand in hand with psoriasis. He had incredible pain in his feet, angles, wrists and hand joints. He says on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the worst) his pain was consistently at a 7 or 8 everyday with no relief. He couldn’t open a can of pickles by himself. It hurt just to get up and let the dog out. He was miserable.

Like many Flexcin customers, Jeff wanted to find an all-natural solution for his pain before trying prescription drugs. He didn’t want to deal with the side effects that can come hand-in-hand with many pharmaceuticals. He came across Flexcin with CM8 on the internet as he read blog after blog that compared it with other arthritis and joint pain supplements on the market. Jeff is a man who does his research. After a great deal of reading up on Flexcin and the main ingredients like CM8 and glucosamine, he decided to give it a shot. Jeff says he’ll never forget the day he started taking Flexcin, a day many people will remember what they were doing when they heard the news…the day Michael Jackson passed away, June 25th of this year.

Within weeks Jeff’s pain started to disappear. He says he first noticed a difference in his feet and angles, and soon the pain began to subside in his hands and wrists as well. His initial goal was to eliminate the four Ibuprofen he was taking each day from his diet. Today he’s down to only one and says his pain level has dropped to a 1 out of 10! Before Flexcin he was unable to do some of the things he likes most such as home remodeling and finishing work. Today, he’s back to enjoying his remodeling projects around the house and using his hands to complete intricate woodworking projects.

Jeff tells us that the supplements have not only improved his physical wellbeing but his mental wellbeing as well. Emotionally he is much happier and enjoying life again now that it doesn’t hurt to walk or use his hands.We congratulate Jeff and his team at J.W. Morton & Associates on their anniversary and thank him for sharing his story of success with us!

Flexcin customer on News 21 in Youngstown, Ohio

No Joint Pain just active at 81Many of our Flexcin customers share their stories of how Flexcin has helped them stay active even though they have joint pain from Arthritis, Bursitis, Gout, etc. One customer, Frances Woofenden, stays extremely active. She’s 81 and she’s a water skiing champion.

“I don’t know how long I will be able to but as long as my joints and everything are pain free Oh I’ll continue the sport. I don’t intend to give it up. I don’t have to think about pain because I’m taking the Flexcin and I don’t have to think about it” says Francis.

Francis has become pretty famous because of her activity level and age. She was interviewed for CBS Evening News Assignment America.

Jackie biking in Iron Man competitionJackie Yost, like many Iron Man champions has run over 100 triathlons. However one thing is slightly different about Jackie and that’s her age.

“I’m 79 years old and I swim, bike and run every week. I feel like I have an edge cause I’m quite flexible. I feel no pain.” says Jackie.

She’s been using Flexcin for some time now. Jackie explains, “I like Flexcin because knowing that the product had natural ingredients, no drugs in it, and it was compatible with many other things that one might be taking. It just seemed to be the natural thing to do is to take the product Flexcin.”

Jerry hiking free of joint painOne of our customers, Jerry Porter, started using Flexcin because of the severe joint pain in his knees. Here’s what Jerry had to say:

“My ultimate goal in life was to hike the Appalachian Trail. Without Flexcin I could have never done that. When you’re carrying a fifty pound pack on your back that’s the other thing walking up and down mountains 7 days a week 10-12 hours a day. Unless you’ve lived it you don’t know how abusive that can be on your body.”

“I got to the top of Katahdin, got to the sign and the first thing that I thought of was Flexcin was the one that really got me here.  With the condition my knees were in, I could have never been here without Flexcin. Flexcin is the greatest product on the market today.”
