Consumer Health Reports recently released its annual study and survey of treatments for hemorrhoids, and for the third consecutive year ClearMed has come out on top. Consumer Health Reports included more than 100 hemorrhoid treatment brands in the study, evaluating them on quality, value, reorder rates, safety and customer service. It then asked those suffering from internal, external and bleeding hemorrhoids to rate the top five – Avatrol, ClearMed, Preparation H, Venapro and Zenmed – using the same criteria. The result: More than 95 percent of participants picked ClearMed as their top hemorrhoid treatment.

More than 40 percent of people in the world over the age of 50 suffer from hemorrhoids, with four percent of all pregnant women developing the disease in the United States alone. Hemorrhoids are veins in the lower rectum or anus that have become swollen because of increased pressure, often from straining during bowel movements or sitting for long periods of time. Symptoms include anal itching, pain and bleeding.

Only about 20 percent of those suffering from internal, external and bleeding hemorrhoids require surgery, the rest find that a hemorrhoid treatment will help ease pain and swelling.

ClearMed is an all-natural hemorrhoid treatment in a time-release capsule that provides relief by shrinking and soothing hemorrhoids. Unlike other treatments for hemorrhoids, ClearMed’s finely milled ingredients work first on the internal issues, repairing tissues that have been damaged by straining. Throughout the day, soothing and healing agents are released to help ease the discomfort of bleeding hemorrhoids and non-bleeding hemorrhoids. There are no reported side effects with ClearMed, even when used for long-term maintenance.

“ClearMed is a product that I am very proud of, and feel excited to share with hemorrhoid sufferers around the world,” says Lawrence E. Kreger, medical researcher for ClearMed.

ClearMed developers are so confident in their hemorrhoid treatment, they guarantee results in five to seven days. If customers are not completely satisfied, ClearMed will return their money through its 60-Day No Risk Guarantee program.

Mankind has struggled to deal with the unpleasantness of hemorrhoids since the dawn of time. From the folk remedies dating back thousands of years to the national brands carried in drugs stores and supermarkets today, hemorrhoid treatment has become a big business. Unfortunately, with hundreds of medications to choose from and conditions ranging from mild irritation up to the potentially dangerous condition of bleeding hemorrhoids, consumers have been left wondering what medications actually work and which amount to a waste of money.

Doctors and proctologists treat patients who suffer from hemorrhoids all the time and they frequently recommend ClearMed, a nonprescription medication that’s proven to quickly reduce swelling and irritation, greatly speeding the recovery process while providing relief to sufferers. The editors of Consumer Health Reports, an organization that evaluates various medications in an effort to rank the top picks in various categories (based on criteria such as value, safety, quality and effectiveness), put over 100 of the top selling hemorrhoid treatment medications under the microscope and awarded ClearMed their top pick for hemorrhoid treatment for 2009.

What does it take to earn the top spot when competing against more than 100 of the top selling hemorrhoid relief products, including the best-selling national brand names? Consumer Health Reports conducted extensive testing on all the subject products, then asked customers who’d actually used the various medications to complete surveys to help validate their findings and flesh out what their user experience was like (including variables like customer service and overall satisfaction). As it had in the previous two years, ClearMed came out on top in testing, and it was also the clear favorite of customers, with an unheard of 95.9% approval rating on the 285 customer surveys that were returned. Some customers even noted that ClearMed had been able to heal their bleeding hemorrhoids, while others pointed out that the $39.95 price for a treatment cycle (backed by a 60 day money back guarantee) was extremely competitive. Based on these findings and the test results, Consumer Health Reports named ClearMed its Top Pick for Hemorrhoid Treatment for 2009, a feat the product has now accomplished for three years running.

ClearMed was founded in 1999 by a pair of medical researchers. The company operates an FDA-certified laboratory and offers a 60 day, 100% money back guarantee on ClearMed . The product is recommended by doctors, proctologists hemorrhoid treatment and has helped over 150,000 customers to date. ClearMed has earned top honors from Consumer Health Reports for the past three years, with the organization noting that it was even reported by customers to be effective in treating bleeding hemorrhoids.
