“I think in some cases yes, certainly, I think there is over-reliance," said Brig. Gen. Richard Thomas, the Army's assistant surgeon general. "But I think ... it reflects how we are in society; we do have a tendency to rely on prescription meds."…”And the military is exploring new treatments”…"Whether it be acupuncture or biofeedback or yoga therapy, there is a host of other things we can provide to patients to take care of them right, other than narcotics," Thomas said. "Narcotics may still have a role, but it doesn't have to have as big a role, and there are alternatives, and that's the key." Source: Charley Keyes, CNN Senior National Security Producer June 3, 2011 8:00 p.m. EDT. Prescription narcotic abuse is becoming a serious threat to our National Security. See video of a Special Forces General’s personal experience with prescription narcotics.2 We at Ultimaxx Health take this matter and similar ones very seriously and therefore, have made it our mission to develop innovative solutions for these very serious public health problems. Initially, we have developed LEVARE®, a U.S. Patented (No. 8,147,882) clinically tested, safe, and very effective, non-narcotic, non-habit forming OTC pain relief formulation (tablet), that meets a significant and pressing unmet need in both the civilian and military populations. Specifically, it will help to mitigate one of the most critical public health dilemmas of our time, the growing epidemic of prescription narcotic misuse, abuse, overdose and unintended death. Usage of LEVARE, Non-Narcotic Pain Relief is not associated with these types of 1 2 issues, as all of the 12 natural ingredients have enjoyed centuries of usage and are all generally recognized as safe (GRAS). Furthermore, natural (herbal) ingredients are not typically associated with the same adverse side effects of pharmaceutical products. We are pleased to say that our 2009 clinical study has confirmed this (the full clinical manuscript is available for review or download on our website www.levarepainrelief.com). The positive benefits of LEVARE were also appreciated in several parts of the United States during our beta test from 2010-2015 via a sample program in over 1000 people by way of chiropractic clinics and natural product retailers, and via direct ecommerce distribution to consumers, Veterans, active and retired professional athletes etc. Pain relief results to date have been excellent and there have been no significant safety concerns. LEVARE represents a safe, effective non-narcotic pain relief alternative which is desperately needed. Now is the time for us to move away from products that have a high potential for addiction and significant adverse side effects, and embrace products that are not only clinically effective but actually good for us. Society is desperately crying out for help, so let’s wake up before it’s too late.
