Pain in the Butt Costs MILLIONS (eliminate it for good!)
Saturday is April Fool’s Day.
So I thought it was a good time to bring up a topic that’s often the butt of jokes…
Hemorrhoids.
HALF of all seniors have them, even if they don’t talk about it.
And if YOU’VE ever had the, um, pleasure…
You know that the only thing worse than a battle with a hemorrhoid… is a battle with ANOTHER hemorrhoid.
Yep, even if they go away for a while, they ALWAYS seem to come back.
Yet despite how common they are, most folks – even many doctors – have NO IDEA how to stop them.
But I do – and soon you will, too.
Misery Where the Sun Don’t Shine
They may seem funny to folks who don’t have them…
But if you suffer from hemorrhoids, you know there’s NOTHING the least bit funny about them.
The pain, itch, and swelling can cut short dinners, movies, and other social engagements – and let’s not even talk about trying to survive a flight!
And according to one recent report, hemorrhoids are a LOT more than just a pain in the butt.
Mainstream treatments, like doctor visits, outpatient treatments, and prescription medications, add up to $770 million per year in this country.
And that staggering figure is likely even MORE staggering… because many folks DON’T mention their hemorrhoids to their doctors.
Heck, plenty won’t even mention them to their spouse.
The market for other treatments – over-the-counter wipes and creams, not to mention cushions and other products to ease the pain, itch, and discomfort – is easily worth another half a billion bucks, according to estimates.
Just the sales of Preparation H alone soared to a whopping $136 million in 2017.
There’s a simple reason those costs keep mounting… because these products just offer temporary relief.
Then, of course, the hemorrhoid comes back… and the cycle starts all over again.
Win the Battle of the Butt
Friend, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Because there’s a way to help end that cycle and ease that itching, burning pain for good.
Actually, there are THREE ways…
- Butcher’s broom: This herbal remedy contains ruscogenins, which can constrict blood vessels and strengthen vein walls – that helps shrink hemorrhoids faster and prevent new ones from popping out. In one study, 69 percent of patients reported it reduced pain and swelling. For maximum effect, combine a supplement with foods rich in flavonoids and vitamin C (such as berries, onions, citrus fruits, and broccoli).
- Bilberry: This natural therapy has been tested in pregnant women, who are especially prone to hemorrhoids, and passed with flying colors. It works by strengthening capillary walls and improving circulation.
- Horse chestnut: This supplement is commonly used to boost vein health and reduce inflammation. Studies have shown that it can help relieve hemorrhoid symptoms by reducing inflammation, itching, and swelling.
As always, speak to your doctor before taking any new supplement.
And after you do, you can look forward to enjoying a movie without running to the restroom… sitting straight through dessert at a restaurant… and even booking that long flight!
