I've visited India and Thailand for extended periods. I enjoyed the food in both countries and I found that my arthritis pain was decreased. When I return to the US the affect stayed with me for a few weeks and then the arthritis pain returned. Both countries use a lot of turmeric, pepper (blank and white), and very hot peppers (capsaicin).

[@roy.mclean]

When I was in India, the ladies I worked with say that whenever they finish a bottle of turmeric or curry powder, they put a little water in the bottle, swish it around and drink it. I take a couple of capsules a day, but with the other meds I'm on, I probably need to reconsider that.

Cayenne pepper works wonders on arthritis. It usually takes a couple of weeks of daily use, but definitely works on arthritis pain and inflammation.

At 82, I had four G.I. Bleeds with hospitalization and blood transfusions. I had always taken one aspirin a day. The G I. Doctor said NO MORE ASPIRIN. Now at 85, I have had no more G.I. Bleeds since the aspirin was stopped. However, after stopping the aspirin, I began having arthritis. I had NO arthritis while I was taking aspirin up to age 82. The only pain reliever I can now use is Tylenol. NSAIDS contain aspirin. Check your pain meds before taking them.

Be careful, as a framing carpenter the pain increased a little every year, so every year I took a few more aspirin. By the time I was sixty I was in the habit taking six or more every work day. I nearly died from internal bleeding. I had lost so much blood that two doctors considered my survival a miracle. I haven't had an aspirin in a couple of years. I also consumed too much salt. The salt and aspirin abuse have done irreparable harm to heart and lungs. I now have cold feet that never warm up because my blood circulation is so poor. Now I am bedridden. I had no clue that it would be salt and aspirin that would do me in.

Whoa, so sorry to hear about your condition. Thank you for sharing. Many people use alot of salt, &/or aren't aware of the amount of salt they are consuming when they are eating out. 😞 Years ago i realized that if i ate at a diner 2 "healthy" meals, i would gain 5 lbs that week. When i didn't eat out, this wouldn't happen.

[@randyd9805]

I've found that sometimes one of those will work very well on a certain type of pain and another will not do anything whatsoever. An example I can give was I was having very severe pain with an inflamed Achilles tendon and could barely walk. Tylenol extra strength did absolutely nothing to relieve it and I mean it was as if I hadn't taken anything at all. I bought Ibuprofen and the results were amazing. There was a great reduction in pain and the tendon went back to normal between a week or two. Other times it seems aspirin was just the ticket. At other times Tylenol seemed to work much better. I've only tried Aleve once and got no benefit from it at all.

[@karinberryman2009]

Yep! Panadol is good for bringing down temperatures and inducing sleep but no good for real pain. Aspirin is easily absorbed and works very well for inflammatory, toothache (crush one between the affected tooth and its corresponding tooth) and joint issues. Osteo Tylenol is a joke (there’s zero difference).

This is fantastic! In the EMS world, if I have a patient having chest pain and I think it's likely cardiac in nature, I have them chew 4 "baby" aspirin. (81 mg aspirin) It prevents the platelets from aggregating in the blocked coronary arteries, and can keep someone having a heart attack alive long enough to get them to the hospital. If it's one adult size aspirin, (375 mg) they can still chew it for the best and fastest way to get into the blood stream. It won't taste very good, but I'm pretty sure being dead tastes worse.

Two things I find interesting: 1. How much more serious many doctors warn about taking herbs, while medications tend to have much greater side effects.

Doctors rarely talk about the causes of your problems. They just want to prescribe your problems away. Instead of a reactive anti inflammatory why don’t they talk about proactive reduction in inflammation through improved diet. Reduce dairy and grains and sugar. All inflammatory.

I think you missed something. Turmeric carries bleeding risk like the other NSAIDs, because it is an NSAID. Don't forget that Aspirin was derived from the extraction of willowbark. Herbal anti-inflammatory is not a valid category. There are only active compounds and inactive compounds. In the turmeric in there is an active compound that acts a certain way because of its nature.

For muscle pain, Evening Primrose Oil is a good muscle relaxer. It is an omega 6 fatty acid and is very good at reliving muscle pain. Omega 6 gets a bad rap, it is considered inflammatory but it also has anti-inflammatory properties. I recently injured a back muscle, aspirin couldn't even touch the pain. Evening Primrose Oil worked within twenty minutes, I felt the pain easing away. I was able to sleep comfortably and woke up without pain. I took it once more later in the day, and that was all I needed.

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

Acetominophen can kill your liver, its metabolite is detoxified by the same enzymatic pathway as alcohol's toxic metabolite. So if you drink too much original NyQuil or take tylenol and go out drinking, you are much more likely to have liver damage as the alcohol is preferentially detoxified. When I was working in Toxicology at the hospital 30+ years ago, the theraputic rangle for acetominophen was 10 to 20 mg/dL (mg per 100 mL of blood plasma), and was considered toxic over 25 mg/dL. Theraputic ranges for Aspirin was 10 to 100 mg/dL for headaches, 100 to 250 mg/dL for arthritis and over 300 mg/dL was considered the toxic range. So essentially you could take about ten times more aspirin before you had toxicity effects (not counting stomach issues).

People would have more faith in the medical industry if they would tell the truth about what they know (like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine)

[@itsROMPERS...]

Every medical source I've consulted (not friends on Facebook or a friend of a friend, but licensed MDs and medical research institutions) say that Ivermectin is used for parasitic worms and sometimes a skin condition called Rosacea in humans sometimes but more commonly in animals. Hydroxychloroquine, chemically similar to quinine tonic water used as a mixer in alcoholic beverages, is used to prevent or treat malaria, and sometimes for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Neither of them in testing have shown any therapeutic action on preventing or treating infectious diseases like COVID-19, nor in asthma of other pulmonary (lung) disorders. There are side effects with these drugs, so you should not use them "experimentally" in case you heard they'll help with symptoms of COVID-19, because they won't help with COVID, but could cause other negative side-effects. If you haven't been tested positively for COVID-19, the best option is the vaccine from Pfizer, which is fully FDA approved, and prove effective against COVID-19, with very low incidence of side effects in millions of people all over the world. The vaccine from Moderna is still under EU licensing but in practice has proved similarly effective and with minimal side effects as the Pfizer vaccine. Incidentally, some people think these vaccines are "rushed" but are based on mRNA technology that has been in development for over 50 years.

But acetominaphen works differently, and that's why it's safe to take it in combination with an anti-inflammatory. Stay safe while staying healthy!😳
