Information on PainDescription Pain is felt when sensory neurons throughout the body react to pressure, mechanical trauma, heat, cold, and other stimuli. The sensory neurons also respond to prostaglandins, histamine, and other chemicals released by injured or inflamed body tissue. Whether sensory neurons are stimulated depends on how powerful, prolonged, and widespread the heat, pressure, or other stimuli are. When sensory neurons are stimulated, the nerves "fire," sending off messages that travel along the nervous system to the brain. Acute pain is the pain that tells you something is harming, or about to harm, your body. Chronic pain may be a dull ache that never goes away. Often the source of chronic pain is unknown. Aspirin is the most well-known remedy for pain. Unfortunately aspirin has a host of side effects, including heartburn, nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, loss of hearing, hives and itching. Other side effects include vomiting blood, blood in the urine or stool, drowsiness, confusion, loss of vision and jaundice. Aspirin should not be taken by those with a bleeding disorder, ulcers, gout, asthma, liver or kidney disease, women who are pregnant or breast feeding, or anyone soon to undergo surgery. Neither should you take aspirin if you are taking blood-thinning medications for prevention or treatment of stroke, heart attacks, atrial fibrillation or blood clots. And if you are on long-term aspirin therapy, you must have your blood tested regularly by a physician to make sure the medicine is not harming your liver. Acetaminophen is an effective treatment for moderate pain and fever, but it does not act against inflammation, swelling, or redness. Potential side effects include trembling, light-headedness, fatigue, itching, fever, sore throat, unexplained bruises or bleeding, blood in the urine, and pains in the side or lower back. Long-term use may cause anemia, along with liver and kidney damage. Acetaminophen causes massive free radical damage to the liver that can be ameliorated with nutrients like N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC). Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs ( NSAIDs) are used for pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joints, and for painful menstrual periods. Potential side effects include stomach pains, gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, headaches, nausea, dizziness, depression, drowsiness, ringing in the ears, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, convulsions, blood in the urine and stool, chest tightness, rapid heartbeat, fainting, and chills. Ironically, these medicines can actually cause pain, the very thing they are taken to eliminate. Long-term use can damage the eyes and ears, and cause weight gain.

Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address it. Phone consults are my specialty. Please call my at (239) 659-2684 to schedule a consultation.
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
