For Immediate Release

SPRING HILL, Fla./EWORLDWIRE/July 12, 2005 --- The battle against pain and inflammation took a major turn early in the 19th century when non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs became an important pharmaceutical treatment. In 2005, another revolutionary breakthrough has taken place.

Elara Nutriceuticals Inc. has stayed true to its direction of merging nature and technology with the creation of Vaxamine, the world's first and only natural botanical replacement for prescription strength anti-inflammatory pain relievers.

In the treatment of pain and inflammation, Vaxamine (pronounced "vox-ah-meen") sets itself apart in several ways when measuring up to other anti-inflammatories. However, Vaxamine's most impressive attribute is that it doesn't produce the harmful side effects associated with NSAIDs like Celebrex(R), Vioxx(R) and Ibuprofen.

The two most common adverse drug reactions associated with NSAIDs relate to gastrointestinal and renal effects. These conditions, which relate mainly to dosage, post the risk of ulcer perforation and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Cardiovascular problems have also been linked to NSAIDs. Vaxamine, on the other hand, has absolutely none of these problems.

First, Vaxamine is not a drug. It is a safe, natural botanical product that has been clinically proven to be as effective in the battle against pain relief as some prescription drugs, without the potential for harmful side effects. Second, dosage is not an issue. While dosage must be limited to avoid the side effects common with Celebrex, Vioxx and Ibuprofen, Vaxamine can be taken as long as the condition persists. Vaxamine, which is targeted at patients with chronic pain and inflammation, is also extremely effective for headaches and isolated pain.

When comparing natural products with pharmaceutical drugs, there is typically some question relating to effectiveness, but clinical tests have eliminated any skepticism on Vaxamine's ability to combat the two enzymes, COX-2 and 5-LOX, linked with inflammation.

In a recent study, Vaxamine outperformed Celebrex as a COX-2 inhibitor, 56-45 percent, and was more selective in its inhibition of COX-2 than both Celebrex and Vioxx. Furthermore, the selectiveness of Vaxamine leaves COX-1, an enzyme crucial in preventing gastrointestinal and cardiac problems, virtually untouched. It has been shown that Vaxamine provides a 50 percent reduction in COX-2 and 5-LOX in less than two hours.

Hundreds of patients have praised Vaxamine as a successful and safe alternative to prescription drugs for conditions like back pain, fibromyalgia, neck and shoulder pain, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

"I've endured significant pain for over 33 years from being hit by a car as a teen, resulting in a broken back," says C. Laures, RN, "I've tried many prescriptions and over the counter pain relief pills, herbal remedies, gels, creams and ointments without sufficient relief. After four days of Vaxamine the pain was reduced to barely noticeable."

Vaxamine, which is a non-drowsy product, is also a cost-effective substitute to high-priced prescription drugs. A 90-caplet (850 mg) bottle of Vaxamine is $36, compared to the $215 price tag for a 50-caplet prescription (100mg) of Celebrex. Since Vaxamine is not a drug, a prescription is unnecessary and it's available through a licensed healthcare provider or directly from Elara Nutriceuticals if a provider is not available in one's area.
